Insert your head in the sand liberals!!

For the past couple of day reports have come out how "progressives" want to enact legislation to limit talk radio. First, "progressive" really means thought controling communists as most are on the extreme left. Second, the reason why the want to limit talk radio is because it is dominated by conservatives. This becomes a danger to the mind controling democrats because they are unable to control the message the is sent to the masses.

It really is a design to limit the conservative message and nothing more. Recently, a Senator claimed to hear Boxer and Clinton talking about regulating the air waves because of the right wing conservatives. They stick to their ignorance and not realize demonation of the air waves by conservatives is market driven. They don't look at the numbers where liberal and conservative shows were in the same market (including in liberal bastions)to see the audience is larger for conservative shows.

Why is it noboby on the left is protesting but instead advocating for it. Oh, that is right because the views of conservatives don't reflect your own, so, who cares. When government gets involved to regulate speech that is a problem. Some might say it is regulating distribution and not content, but let's look to the reason for legislation now. The dominance of conservative shows is market driven. I guess the Dems want to socialize everything including thought.

I waiting for the liberals to stand up to this intrusion into speech that is blantly to control content. What is that a cricket? I thought so.

A Winter in the Summer

Last week I was on business in NYC and visited my friend. I usually arrive a day early to check into the hotel and head to his and his brothers place on upper East Side. However, this time was different because I would see his brother for the very first time since his surgery. The timing was good he arriving by subway and I by taxi meeting at the same time at his door.

We walked in and his mother yelled my name asking why I was in town. Just business I told her, but K and I will be going for a run around the park. As I walked into the living room I see the body of half a man. A million thoughts ran through my head as I looked upon a my friend's brother sitting in a chair with a blanket in the sweltering heat because he is cold. Despite being humid, he request another blanket because he was cold. When I heard that I had to turn away because a tear came to my eye and the memory of a similar request from my dying grandfather.

While C and his mom went for a walk, K and I ran around the park. He told me to take it easy as he has not been running much. I kind of figured since he was taking care of C. The conversation and what was not said revealed so much. Everyone has hope that C will survive, but all know that it is very difficult road.

As I said goodbye to everyone, I told C he better be healthy next time I come back. I know some will take that statement as callous, but you did not grow up in Mass and realize you never let up on your friends no matter what their condition. C I pray for you and your family daily.
