The federal communications commission came into existence when there was only one electronic mass medium: radio. With the technology of the day, there were few information channels. Now there are thousands, of many kinds. The leftwing has tried endlessly to use the FCC for political purposes...

In one way or another, all the above basically function as taxpayer supported sources of liberal/left propaganda. PBS needs hardly be talked about by anyone who is even slightly in contact with reality. NPR has made its nature very clear in recent times. NEA funds vile garbage that artists...

I would like to direct all interested member?s attention to the following links: http://tinyurl.com/3bapp7q http://www.expendable.tv/ The latter link is of particular interest. This is a website which will develop over the coming weeks, to expose the full horror of what was done to...

This is another of the colossal-sized leftwing failures. It was created by Jimmy Carter, america's worst president until the obama era, as a sop to the teachers' unions for helping get him elected. Of course, it hasn't done anything for education - the US remains in the lower ranks of the...

Now they're back asking for billions in bailout from the federal government. Why isn't this causing screeching and whining like the bank bailouts (part of which were paid back) did? It's the same money taken from the taxpayers - right? They operate at a loss partly because of their...

Anti-Gaddafi protesters are now on the streets of Tripoli as unrest against the ruler continues. There is some speculation that the regime could collapse soon. http://www.reuters.com/article/2011/08/20/us-libya-idUSTRE77A2Y920110820

Abortion is a big buzz word within the government. (Others being Gay, Terrorism and Tax). What are your views? Should the government control it? Should it always be a no and never have been invented? Would it be an option for a case by case decistion? Is it a simple way to get rid of...

source: http://www.reuters.com/article/2011/04/12/fed-hoenig-idUSN1216806220110412 Once more Thomas Hoenig is one of the only sane voices in the Fed, making a public statement that the big banks are essentially government sponsored enterprises and should be treated as such. Personally, I'd...

Portugal rejected the minority government's move for further austerity measures earlier today. The country is likely headed towards bailout now and should that happen, Prime Minister Jose Socrates is expected to resign and the government to collapse. Meanwhile, Ireland's 10-year passes 10%...

Paul Ryan has come out to say that Republicans are not trying to get a government shutdown amidst accusations by the left that the GOP is playing games with the budget to just that. Ryan stressed that they are willing to negotiate, but only if spending cuts are included. The debate comes after...

HEADLINE: Video: Glenn Beck says big government bailouts are an affront to God OVERVIEW: Glenn Beck explains to his viewers that big government bailouts--like the ones from Obama and in the EU--are an affront against God Almighty.

[FONT=&quot]When capitalism and communism will become anachronism, "the messiahs" of new political religions will continue to proselytize "lost sheep" and set them at loggerheads for the purpose of the own crowning. But the chronic error freedom fighters provoking lovers of royal honors and...

What do you do when you find yourself with a surplus? Some of my priorities include (in semi-order) paying off debt, working towards the international standard of donating 0.7% of your GDP to foreign aid (yes, this exists), foreign investments, and then perhaps looking at what kinds of programs...

One of the arguments people had against the original proposal of a health care mandate was the portion of the bill that exempted Congress and many higher government members from the mandate that everyone else would be forced to adhere to. It has happened time and time again in our history...

Why not let the market fix it? For the same reason wall street needs to be regulated and its only after the great recession that people in power realize it. If you let people, whos sole motivation is money, try to fix a problem like global climate change, they will fuck it up, let business...

Looks as though Arnie is really desperate and can't believe he is making such a large issue out of selling a few bits and pieces out of the Government Warehouse. Surely with a State that is bankrupt, this can't really make a meaningful difference, perhaps energy should be spent on more...

Women make up 51% of the total population in the United States, yet they are only 10% of the House and GOP. Why is this? I read the following article and thought this could make for an interesting thread? [COLOR=darkred]http://news.yahoo.com/s/politico/20090511/pl_politico/22342
