The ever-mirthful Mark Steyn beautifully targets the argument against Rush Limbaugh with his usual precision.  Asking Rush to prove he didn’t make racist statements (and none have ever been found, unless you’re so blinkered and biased or braindead that you believe he did) is tantamount to asking when he stopped beating his wife.  It’s a cowardly pseudophilosophical game the radical left and idiot sportscasters, not to mention NFL executives, are playing, and it won’t sit well with most fans.

 You probably have the read the title and are thinking….where? Iraq seems to be stabilizing itself and troops are coming home. I can’t be referring to that. The war in Afghanistan is heating up. General McChrystal requests 40,000 more troops Obama instead sends a token 13,000.  I  am not talking anout that either. The war I am referring is much more dangerous for our country because it is happening right here on own soil.

 The missles were launched at conservative media this past week when the following statement was made by White House Communications Director Anita Dunn. Fox News operates “almost as either the research arm or the communications arm of the Republican Party.”  Strong words and a statement that just underlines Obama’s hatred for Fox News. I don’t even think this hatred is exclusively for Fox News. Its more for anyone that dares question Obama’s motives or his decision making process.

 This is a frightening step towards censorship. Obama repeatedly in the past has refused to let any Fox News coorespondents ask questions of him. In his barnstorming tour to push health care reform on the Sunday Morning News he avoided Fox.  These probably has a lot to do with the fact that his teleprompter is not programmed to answer such things. Particularly disturbing is the fact that as always, no other media outlet seems to care.

  Another question now comes up. Is it possible that the Fairness Doctrine could be resurrected? Could there be enough votes for passage. In my opinion….no IF the bill would be voted on straight up. The Democrats would never present the bill in this manner, instead attaching it to another which is scary stuff. I still contend that this is the strategy which will get health care reform passed.

 So in closing the Obama administration again has there priorities askew. US troops are starting to lose their lives in the escalating confrontation in Afghanistan. Obama during the campaign repeatedly said we needed to be there instead of Iraq. Now faced with the reality of the situation….he punts. Instead of protecting lives he finds it more important to protect his fragile ego. During the campaign Barack presented himself as a centrist…I believe he is. His entire focus centers on himself….God help us all.
