End The Fairness Doctrine Once And For All

End the Fairness Doctrine once and for all. I applaude South Carolina Senator Jim DeMint to force a vote on ending any thoughts of reviving the Fairness Doctrine. This law does limit freedom of speech and is solely targeted to conservative talk radio. Liberal talk radio fails miserably as guess what very few people wish to listen to it. Liberals are besides themselves in trying to limit Conservative hosts Beck, Limbaugh and Hannity, and their powerful and large radio audiences who listen to them. Why? Because Democrats are afraid of the truth? Are they afraid that these three hosts plus several more are actually expressing a point of view in which millions of Americans agree upon? As compared to the stale, failed rhethoric of the Democratic party? I think Senator DeMint has forced the issue and we will see how many Senators will be in favor of eliminating our freedom of speech by voting to agree with this failed doctrine. The standard should be freedom of speech not the limiting of speech to only liberalism. Remember 2010 is coming fast and the scales will be turning back towards democracy at that time.
