The Fairness Doctorine...
AAL: 2
I hesitate to post this, because all this does is give ideas to anti-press leaders (which in fairness, huh that word again, I consider both McCain and Obama to be), but this recent talk about the fairness doctorine has me worried.
People are always going to choose what they want to buy, or watch, or read, or listen to. Reviving the "Fairness Doctorine" in communicaitons would force many outlets to make sure time is equal. On the surface that seems okay, but lets look a little deeper.
I know the most common argument against the Fairness Doctorine is the trappings in finding the mythical most neutral person in the world to arbitrate this (by the way this person hangs out with Bigfoot, The Loch Ness Monster, and all the Super Bowl trophies the Buffalo Bills have won). However I'm going to take a different look at this.
If the goverment gets to control who says what when on the media and that's percieved as fair, does it also seem fair if the government...
1) Forces you to buy an Ann Coulter book for every Al Franken book you want to buy...
2) Forces you to buy a ticket for "W" with every ticket for "An American Carol"...
3) Forces you to watch "Davey and Golaith" after you watch "Family Guy"
4) Forces you to watch Hannity after watching Olberjerkoff
5) Regulate your computer so you spend equal time on homework and facebook (now I have your attention)
6) Forces you to watch "Gary Unmarried" after watching "How I Met Your Mother" (this one is not really partisan, but only one of these shows is of legen-wait-for-it-dary quality).
I know nobody is talking about doing these thing (yet), and obviously some of them are not possible. But I would like any supporter of the Fariness Doctorine to explain to me what the moral difference is that justifies forcing the media to suddenly make sure everything is equal and forcing any of the changes on the list above.
My contention is whatever argument you can make for the Fairness Doctorine you can make for any of the things on my list.
In a sense that's what Conservativeuncensored is about, becuase the media people want to watch will be forced into media they don't want to watch. The government can get away with this because they own all the licensenes. But they don't own the internet (yet). Enjoy conservativeunsensored.com, before somebody in the goverment tries to force me to automatically redirect you to moveon.org when you're navigate away.

What is conservativeuncensored.com
This should've probably been the first post of the blog, but I decided to a get a few current event posts out first before defining what this site is about.
I'm one who's been a conservative as long as I've had political thought. However, I admittedly checked out of the political process in 2004. Though a support of President Bush (43), I still became disgusted with media lies and both republicans and democrats moving left.
"[A democracy] can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves largesse from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most benefits from the public treasury with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy, always followed by a dictatorship." - Unconfirmed Author*
I've decided I can no longer check out, as apparantly conservatism no longer has a party. No matter who wins this election, conservatives aren't going to have a friend in the White House. And instead of politcs being the public service it was intended to be, it's has become a carrer opportunity for the ignorant that only know how to give voters what they want, because their re-election depends on it, even though they don't know how to stop the destruction of their voters in the process.
I think many people that call themselves republicans and democrats in fact have many conservative values. However, the thing the ruling class doesn't like about it is that inheirant to conservative belief is a certain indepence from the government. It's not easy to court voters that know they don't need you. And if you run on the people don't need the government, those that do want to vote themselves the purse will villify you as mean to any number of groups (age, race, etc...)
So while I have conservative beliefs, I think we need to attack the ruling class at all turns, regardless of the letter after their name and before their state. I believe leaders need to start ignoring those voting for handouts, and start convincing people that continuing down this road will lead to our demise, and we need to vote over the temptation in favor of our freedom, that's the conservative way.
Concerning conservatism's opponents, I may use very foul language and very personal attacks, but I assure you it is not just because of who someone is, it's because of what someone stands for. I don't care if you're a small town mayor, a 50 year old lawyer, a SCUM journalist or a carrer politican (actually if anything I will be hardest on career politicains), that in istelf is not enough to bring my wrath. However, if you do anything to destroy the virtue of conservatism, I will use language that will make your grandma blush+, insults that would make your preacher squirm, whatever it takes to demostrate why the ruling class is hurting us to protect themselves.

ACORN and the Supreme Court
AAL2: Surpisingly Calm
So Friday's big news was that SCOTUS (Supreme Court of the United State) denied the Ohio GOP's.
I'm going to claim ignorance, but I think SCOTUS basically said since the Ohio GOP isn't a "citizen" they don't have the standing to bring this case.
http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=D93SBR781&show_article=1
So don't confuse this decision with the innocence of Ohio secratary of state Jennifer Brunner, though CNN, and the rest of the SCUM seem to be content to bury this fact at the bottom of the story, saying it's a "victory."
This was basically thrown out on a technicality, that the law wasn't designed for civil action. It sounds like another challenge will mount.
That said, I do understand the other side of this, and this is one situation where I would prefer the scalpel to the hatchet. I think they need to be careful how they purge the roles, and make sure they are following up on the discrepancies and not just discarding them. It wouldn't be the first time government information is wrong, and disenfranchising voters because the DMV has the wrong address wouldn't be right.
It would be decent of Brunner to at least acknowledge that she shares the goal of an honest election and supports the idea of getting fraudulent registrations off the rolls. However, at best I interpret her actions as she's decided to be apathetic about this (at worst she's conspiring, but I'll need more proof on that) for whatever reason, and seems okay with the risks posed with fraudulent names on the rolls, which I find irresponsible.
This isn't over, those sounding the Brunner victory horns may have to backpedal...

Conservative Uncensored Features...
A couple things that I think will make my blog unique.
1) AAL (Anger Alert Level)
This is a parody of the famous Department of Homeland Security multi-colored terror alert scale after the 2001 attacks. It's ranked 1 to 5 and borrows the same terminology with a description in terms of how threating I am to the EO-Cs (new blogword, Enemies of Conservatism). Each post will be rated 1 to 5 based on how angry I am and that will give you an idea of the tone to attribute to my words. There is a graphic on the right hand page.
2) CUBs (new blogwod, Conservative Uncensored Blogwords)
I will seek to define concepts that will be repeated in simple word and acronyms. The first time it appears in the blog I will define it parenthetically as a new blogword or new CUB, as in the two examples in this post. This will become a list on the right hand side of conservativeunsensored.com, and will also appear in the label list so you can see the usage in every post it appears (with the exception of CUB, since that will probably appear in every post).
Now obviously these features don't exist in RSS forwarded versions of this posts, so if you need to see these definitions or my color AAL chart you will have to visit conservativeuncensored.com.
