NOTHING FAIR ABOUT THE FAIRNESS DOCTRINE






Not since Joseph Goebbels controlled the German thought and speech process in Hitler's Germany, has a threat to dissenting speech been manifested as is the attempt to resurrect the Fairness Doctrine.
To refresh your memory about Mr. Goebbels, after the Nazis rose to power in 1933, he was appointed propaganda minister. One of his first acts was the burning of books rejected by the Nazis. He proceeded to gain full control of every outlet of information in Germany. Following his appointment, his attacks on German Jews, beginning with the boycott of 1933, became ever fiercer and culminated in the Kristallnacht in 1938, the first open and unrestrained pogrom unleashed by the Nazis.

Now substitute the word "Jews" with the word "Conservatives" and you can see the similarity if the Fairness Doctrine is re-instated under this present administration.


“With the stink of public corruption blanketing Washington, with our elected officials passing the single largest spending bill in our nation’s history without even reading or debating it, with the increasing nationalization of our financial institutions, with almost dictatorial control of Congress by one political party, and with increasing signs we are becoming a socialistic country, Americans need more dynamic talk show hosts like Savage, not less,” said Thompson, the president of the Thomas More Law Center.
Conservative talk-radio hosts such as Dr. Savage have been so effective in rallying public outcry against many aspects of the liberal agenda that Democrat politicians have increasingly called for a return to the “Fairness Doctrine,” Orwellian- speak for censorship.

Thompson commented, “If the Doctrine is so fair, why are the liberals limiting it only to radio? Why not television, the Internet, and all the print media?”

The Fairness Doctrine, first introduced in 1949, required radio stations to broadcast opposing views on any matter of public importance they discussed. However, in 1987, President Reagan directed that it be abandoned. Since then, Democrats have made several unsuccessful attempts to reinstate the Doctrine.

With total Democrat control of the federal government, the Fairness Doctrine can be re instituted by a regulation of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) or by Congressional enactment. Whatever form its reinstatement may take, any limitation on the Free Speech rights of Michael Savage will result in an immediate legal action. The U. S. Supreme Court would most likely find any reinstatement of the Doctrine unconstitutional.

A regulation of speech motivated by nothing more than a desire by the Democrats to silence political opposition on controversial issues of public interest is the purest example of a law abridging the freedom of speech. Such action is the hallmark of totalitarian governments, not a free society.

The Thomas More Law Center defends and promotes America’s Christian heritage and moral values, including the religious freedom of Christians, time-honored family values, and the sanctity of human life. It supports a strong national defense and an independent and sovereign United States of America.
And if you doubt the Leftists, that control the power structure in Washington, have already started the march to thought and speech control. Just consider for one moment the controlled press conference that the President had recently. The lack of substantive questions by any member of the Press , and the failure to address any questions that had not been pre-planned should show the lack of openness in this new administration. Or consider the fact that for the first time since WWII, a Bill was pushed through Congress without any public hearings,no amendments allowed, and no document presented to the Senate before they voted to pass this almost one trillion dollar spending Bill!

Not only do we not know for certain where Obama was born, because the birth certificate is doubted by many as being authentic, and I have a question that begs to be answered. Did Barack Hussein Obama register for the draft as is required by Federal Law of all 18 year old men in the USA? If he did , why don't his people show his draft card to prove he is a real American native born?
