Woke Up This Morning, Got Myself a Gun I thought maybe he would feel better in the morning. Nope. I am still bothered by the many liberties to be lost under an Obama presidency and liberal Democratic Congress. Starting January 20, I am going to keep a list of liberties lost. I'll probably seed a list of liberties likely to lose. Perhaps in all the excitement yesterday you missed the news that Chuck Schumer said he wants to bring back the Fairness Doctrine . As those of us following along with actual issues are aware, Obama is going to be the most anti-gun President in history, ...

Obamist Newspaper Columnists Claim Talk Radio Won't Be Shut Down
The Radio Equalizer: Brian Maloney —
... pundits insist the issue will be part of Obama’s agenda in his first 100 days in office. But of course, it’s all made-up nonsense, backed by no evidence whatsoever. In the current issue of the New Republic, Marin Cogan goes looking for those Democrats supposedly plotting to kill talk radio but ends up empty handed. Clearly, Cogan must not have looked very hard, or she would have come up with statements from Senators John Kerry (D-MA), Chucky Schumer (D-NY), and Jeff Bingaman (D-NM), all of whom support a crackdown on Obama ...
