The Fairness Doctrine- ACT II

In 1949 the 'Fairness Doctrine' was introduced. By 1969 the ruling on Red Lion Broadcasting Co. v. FCC codified the Fairness Doctrine in American law. The doctrine demanded that radio broadcasters lose the right to freely choose the format for their shows.
It demanded that broadcast radio and mainstream publications present a controversial issue and allow opposing views.
This doctrine was further strengthened by the Communications Act of 1934 which demanded equal time for candidates on radio programs.
When the Fairness Doctrine was introduced it took away freedom of speech but more-over it took away an even more valuable right. It took away the right of a private businessman to develop the product he wishes to sell. It took away the entrepreneur's autonomy and took a socialist step toward suppression of a vital tenant of capitalism and free enterprise!

In the 1980s President Reagan and his cabinet repealed the Fairness Doctrine and gave rise to thousands of Conservative talk radio formats and hosts.
None of these hosts would shine quite as bright as the ever so talented and 'always Right' Rusty Sharpe, better known as Jeff Christy.
This radio sophomore was allowed, thanks to Reagan's burial of the Fairness Doctrine, to be cast in a format that would transform and inform the political world while turning the Leftists' world upside down.

Of course when Jeff Christy began his own show he refused to go back to the old way of broadcasting, instead he decided there would be few guests on his show, this show was going to be about expressing and teaching Conservative values and principals. And one more thing; he was NOT going to continue to use a pseudonym.
He was born Rush Limbaugh III and he would henceforth be known as such.

Rush Limbaugh has built a mighty outreach to many people in America and around the world. He reached this status of greatness by simply utilizing free market Capitalist freedoms. He did it his way. The four time Marconi award winner and Radio Hall of Fame and National Association of Broadcasters Hall of Fame member, found what worked and identified what the consumer wanted, then marketed it. Without those freedoms Rush Limbaugh and his descendants in national syndication would be out of work and Conservative America would be spoon fed liberal government sanctioned radio to accentuate their heap'n help'n of leftist TV and print media.
If Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, John Kerry, The Clintionistas, and most every prominent Democrat get their way later this year or next, they will have murdered talk radio and taken one more giant bite out of our freedom!

So let me just say this about freedom and Capitalism. Every day this viperous congress holds session, we lose another constitutionally protected or God given right. They are misguided by the notion that fairness is achievable. They either don't know or don't care, that to be fair to some requires you to be unfair to others.
Attempts to be fair to all results in cruelty to all and fairness and equality can never be achieved. That's why Orwell's classic tale of Communism in Stalinist Russia found the swine leaders changing the Farm Motto from "All animals are equal" to,"All animals are equal but some animals are more equal than others". Egalitarianism never works, is never fair and ultimately intensifies classism and grows governmental power.

If leftists are able to suppress the Conservative view by re-implementing the Fairness Doctrine, we will surely see Conservatives doomed to wonder in the desert for 40 years as they did in the 40's, 50's, 60' and '70s until the Reagan presidency and Republican congressional majority of the 80's. However, I fear that with a Marxist President and Socialist majority rulers in Congress, blood-thirsty for total government take over of the private sector, we could be in for stormy weather!
What can you do?
Be aware, when you hear people talking about the fairness doctrine politely inject yourself in the conversation. Let them know that this only seeks to suppress speech and prevent 25 to 50 million people, every day, from hearing a conservative point of view. Tell them that we don't win political, theological or ideological debates by censoring our dissenters. We win by presenting the best solutions and educating the citizenry regarding our agenda and purpose.
Then you can stay informed and when the day comes that Congress plans to entertain the Fairness Doctrine, call and write to your congressmen and tell them the same thing!
Pass this along and tell your friends to stand beside you as fellow sentinels over American freedom and liberty!
