Well the far left thinks they are going to pick up the white house and gain some seats in congress. In theory this is not a big deal because we have the bill of rights to protect us. No matter who votes how or who wins an election we keep our rights eight?

Wong sadly this is no longer the case. There are rumors going around the media even now (almost 3 moths before the new people are officially in office) that the fairness doctrine is making a come back.

In short this policy says that the government gets to tell broadcast media that they must present “balanced” and “fair” views on topics. So if you have Rush Limbaugh on for 3 hours a day you need to put on AL Sharpton for 3 hours a day. Or you could possibly get away with a Hannity and Clomes style program.

I think we should have a literacy test for anyone running for congress.

It would work as follows

The phrase “congress shall make no law” means

A. Congress can do whatever they want.
B. As long as the president says he likes it first its okay
C. This only applies to a limited number of circumstances
D. Congress does not make any laws in this area.

Sadly I think 3/4ths of congress could not pass this test (that’s at what like a 9th grade reading level if that).
