I work evenings....and I don't post from work...slacker!
If I weren't monitoring a dozen clusters and SAN's I'd do something more fun than post politics...
Of course not and not one single politican or pundit I've heard of has proposed shutting down any part of conservative media.
{Talk radio’s suspicions of a movement to reinstate the Fairness Doctrine were confirmed by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) on Tuesday June 24 during her comments at a Christian Science Monitor breakfast. When John Gizzi, an editor for Human Events asked Speaker Pelosi whether she favored a return of the Fairness Doctrine, she told him an unhesitating “yes,” reports Gizzi. }
Pelosi Supports Return of Fairness Doctrine
I think you may not be paying much attention.
Eisenhower was a fiscal conservative.
No, Eisenhower was a social conservative and a fiscal liberal. Eisenhower was significantly to the left of the Kennedy administration, fiscally speaking.
Nixon was a fiscal conservative.
So you think wage and price controls are pretty conservative, huh? A centrally planned and managed economy as the definition of "conservative?"
Actual fiscal conservatism is about free markets - the opposite of Nixon/Ford/Carter economy.
The term conservative is too abstract these days...but I know people who think they are conservative think it means that you hate Obama, you're anti gay marriage and anti abortion, you're a "patriot"???, and you love freedomsandliberties.
Opposing Obama and the fascist economy he promotes is a conservative position. A managed economy, be it Marxist or fascist is anathema to market capitalism, the heart of conservatism. Social conservatism and recognition of the war that the "counter culture" openly wages on American values is certainly part of the conservative movement.
I thought you remembered the 70's?......remember back when the Republican party had moderates and liberals?
The Republicans have Alan Simpson and Olympia Snowe - the far left is alive and well in the GOP
There are no moderates in the democratic party, that I will grant you.
and the Democratic party had conservatives?....that was because there wasn't 100% advocacy journalism back then.
No, there was a 100% managed press. The system of apparatchiks built by America's own Josef Goebbels, Edward Murrow, ensured that only the stories which served the party saw the light of day. America got one side of the news they were permitted - the DNC side.
Obama has never proposed banning Fox.
{The Obama administration on Thursday failed in its attempt to exclude Fox News from participating in an interview of an administration official, as Republicans on Capitol Hill stepped up their criticism of the hardball tactics employed by the White House.
The Treasury Department on Thursday tried to make "pay czar" Kenneth Feinberg available for interviews to every member of the network pool except Fox News. The pool is the five-network rotation that for decades has shared the costs and duties of daily coverage of the presidency and other Washington institutions. }

Try again.
They might have discluded one of their pseudo journalists from a press meeting but they're not censoring or restricting them from saying anything they want.
They attempted to shut Fox out of coverage. Obama has a LOT of Stalin in him.
It's a shame Fox and MSNBC are even allowed at white house press conferences, they might as well include the Nat'l Inquirer.
The National Enquirer has a better track record than the NY Times. It was they who broke the "Blue Dress" while the NY Times obfuscated for Clinton. It was they who revealed the Condit story, while the Alphabets and managed news covered. It was they who Exposed Edwards, while the Times and Post lied to cover for him.
Yeah, they might as well - America could get better and more honest coverage.
I didn't vote for Obama. Bob Barr was an embarassment ever since he tried to sue Bill Clinton for "emotional distress" after the impeachment thing. That guy had absolutely no chance of winning. You wasted your vote, you could have voted against Obama.
I'm a Libertarian - I generally vote Libertarian. Barr wasn't my first choice, but WAY better than Obama or open borders McCain.
I could've typed "little" people 
but chose not to.
