You call this a FAIRNESS Doctrine?!?

A Liberal is like a whiney little boy's Mom who harasses the football coach because her athletically inept son is not getting equal playtime in the games.

I hate to break it to you Mom, but he probably isn't getting equal playtime because he isn't as talented as the other players. It's not unfair, it's not unjust --it's reality --the kind of reality that scares Liberals to death.

Liberals know they cannot succeed in a truly free society, which is exactly why they continue to use cowardly tactics to silence their opposition.

I've experienced this oppression in my own life on many occasions. I was kicked off of campus for protesting a Liberal speaker. (Never mind it was a public event held outdoors.) I was fired from my campus newspaper because my "views didn't represent that of the school's." (Never mind it was a public school and an independent student paper.) Most recently, a local Liberal posse has argued that I shouldn't even be allowed to write for the Courier-Journal.

This type of oppression, disguised as "fairness," has occurred on a global scale as well; namely, in countries such as Cuba, China, and Soviet Russia.

But this time it is here, in the United States.

Liberals are hoping to use something called the "Fairness Doctrine" to put a government-mandated muzzle on the mouths of their opposition.

The Fairness Doctrine is supported by many big name Democrats such as Nancy Pelosi, Dianne Feinstein, John Kerry, Howard Dean, etc. What this legislation mandates is that radio stations be required to provide "equal airtime" to Liberal views every time a Conservative opens their mouth on air.

In relation to my original analogy, this doctrine is just another case of Liberals not being able to cope with a truly free marketplace of ideas and abilities. Liberals refuse to accept the truth: that Conservatives receive higher ratings and more airtime on talk radio simply because more people want to tune in and listen to them.

Liberals have a completely distorted view of freedom and the Fairness Doctrine is a perfect example of that.

True freedom, equality, and "fairness" would be permitting all Americans to communicate with out government restriction, not to restrict the First Amendment so that everyone's speech is equally suppressed.

John Kerry, while speaking on a New York talk show confirmed this Liberal distortion of liberty when he said, " I think the Fairness Doctrine ought to be there... conservatives got rid of the equal time requirements and the result is that they have been able to squeeze down and squeeze out opinion of opposing views and I think its been a very important transition in the imbalance of our public eye."

Fairness and balance should not be the concern. The concern should be equal oppurtunity, not equal outcome.

As William Maurer, an attorney with the Institute of Justice stated so well, "Even-handed freedom is better than even-handed oppression."
