The Fairness Doctrine is a  law that demands a “balance” of opinions be presented on public airwaves, primarily effecting talk radio. The Democrats may be pushing for a reinstatement of the Fairness Doctrine in the months ahead. If enacted, it will kill talk radio as we know it.

Here’s what Senator Charles Schumer (no friend of gun owners) said yesterday on Fox News about his desire to reinstate the Fairness Doctrine. Please pay attention to this subject and let your elected representatives know your opinion if this comes up for legislation in the Congress.

Bobby Jindal is the Governor of Louisiana. He’s a proactive, successful and serious politician you may wish to know more about.

In addition to being mentioned as a possible Vice Presidential running mate for John McCain, Newt Gingrich calls him, “the most transformational young governor in America today.”

Here’s why.

It may turn out that Barak Obama may be another Emperor with no clothes. Even the “lefty” kids are pointing fingers and daring to say he’s naked. Should we say, “All show and no go?” Barak’s not walking his talk, and people are noticing.

Even Bob Herbert, a lefty columnist in his recent New York Times Column (requires paid membership to read so I didn’t post a link.) is pointing to Obama’s pretense of being a “new politician,” while saying one thing and doing another.

Herbert writes: “Senator Obama is not just tacking gently toward the center. He’s lurching right when it suits him, and he’s zigging with the kind of reckless abandon that’s guaranteed to cause disillusion, if not whiplash.”

“What’s he doing?” is the most common question heard recently from Obama supporters.

“He seems to believe that his shifts and twists and clever panders — as opposed to bold, principled leadership on important matters — will entice large numbers of independent and conservative voters to climb off the fence and run into his yard.

Maybe. But that’s a very dangerous game for a man who first turned voters on by presenting himself as someone who was different, who wouldn’t engage in the terminal emptiness of politics as usual.”

This promises to be an interesting summer in politics.

There is a 20-year old global warming conversation that:

1. It is certain that there is global warming and 2. Human activity is the cause.

It ain’t necessarily so. There are circumstances that have been observed and then interpretations added. This article has an interesting take on the ideological, theological and psychological aspect of this conversation. If you are convinced that we’re the cause of terrible global warming and we’ll pay for it soon, don’t bother reading this article. It might cause an aneurism.
 

As a former Naval Aviator, I have a certain understanding of John McCain’s background. I certainly disagree with him on issues like immigration and drilling in ANWR. I do appreciate his character to the extent I’m familiar with it.

This article gave me more information on John McCain and more reasons to appreciate his personal values. I recommend you read it.

John Coleman, founder of The Weather Channel, has more credibility than Al Gore and has 31,000 scientists backing him when he says, “Global Warming caused by humans is not supportable by the facts.”

Why should you care? The Global Warming Scam is one of the reasons behind $4.34/gallon gasoline.

People are just now getting it. Oil may be going up but most of  the price increase is because the dollar is going down. The dollar is losing its value. It takes about $1.60 to buy a Euro now. Not long ago the Euro and dollar were equal. If that were still true a gallon of regular would be about $2.30 now.

The Fed has been printing money to keep interest rates down among other things. Check out this video and tell me if you think it rings true for you.

One correction as expressed by another who viewed this video:

“That was pretty good but he got his facts wrong.  The gold standard was removed in 1924, not in the 60s.  At that time, US went to a silver standard with the silver certificates.  It was the silver standard that was removed in the 1960s. 

I was just thinking.  I’m 52.  When I started driving a car, gas was 25.9 cents and my minimum wage job paid $1.60.  Back then, I could fill my 12 gallon gas tank for two hours of working.  Today, it would take a minimum wage worker an entire day’s work, just to fill his tank.  That’s a 400% decrease in spending from hours working.  I don’t make minimum wage any more but after 35 years of training/experience in the work force, I can stiil only fill a 12 gallon tank after two hours of work, just like when I was a 16 year old kid.”

“We in Denmark cannot figure out why you are even bothering to hold an election.

On one side, you have a bitch who is a lawyer, married to a lawyer, and a lawyer who is married to a bitch who is a lawyer.

On the other side, you have a true war hero married to a woman with a huge chest who owns a beer distributorship.

Is there a contest here?”
 

“Landing on an aircraft carrier was the most fun I’d ever had with my trousers on. And the 24 hours that I spent aboard the USS Theodore Roosevelt–the “Big Stick”–were an equally unalloyed pleasure. I love big, moving machinery. And machinery doesn’t get any bigger, or more moving, than a U.S.-flagged nuclear-powered aircraft carrier that’s longer than the Empire State Building is tall and possesses four acres of flight deck. This four acres, if it were a nation, would have the fifth or sixth largest air force in the world–86 fixed wing aircraft plus helicopters.”

P.J. O’Rourke is a guy with a gift for reporting serious subjects with a touch of humor. He recently spent 24 hours with the men and women of the USS Roosevelt. As a former Naval Aviator with 2000 hours of jet time and 300 carrier landings, I’m still powerfully drawn to anything regarding these floating “bird farms” as they’re called.

Here’s a link to the story which also says some good things about John McCain in comparison to his dem rivals.
