Why Liberal Talk Radio Will Never Succeed

By Semperpapa

Do you remember Air America? No, me either.
Do you remember Jenine Garofalo? No, me either.

The Left has been trying to "compete" with conservative radio talk show for years, all the while working under the radar with Washington and the main stream media, to actually shut conservative radio down, and the hell with the First Amendment. In both cases they have failed, mind you not because of lack of effort, but mostly because when it comes to the preference of the American people, the theory of free market and free choice still applies.

Why does liberal radio not work? In my humble opinion, it is a matter of depression.
I am not inclined to be listening to some guy or girl that is continuously putting down my country, our economic system from which the radio speaker is benefiting anyway, our Military from whose sacrifice the speaker is benefiting anyway.
I am not inclined to endure hours of some sniveling idiot complaining against the power of corporations while working for one and getting paid handsomely by it; and I am surely not wasting my time listening to the social justice speech of some hypocrite who has made a career upon the misery he can create for a specific group of Americans.

But mostly, I am not inclined in spending my valuable time and brain cells listening to some moron who tries to boost his ratings by being as controversial as possible.
Case in point is the ultra liberal progressive talk radio "personality" Bill Press.
This is a guy who for decades has been polluting the airwaves with his liberal poison. But just as the rest of his kind, he has to resort to really controversial positions in order to attract the attention of the American people and get a little boost in ratings.
I had not heard the name "Bill Press" for some time until last week when this champion of moronity came out with this statement regarding our National Anthem, the Star-Spangled Banner.

“It’s an abomination… First of all, it ranges two octaves; most people can only do, kind of, one octave. It’s more than a pet peeve. It is a major crusade of mine. A major cause of mine and that is, to get rid of ‘The Star-Spangled Banner.’”

Well, my friends, there you go. Typical liberal fascism. I don't like guns so I want to take guns away from everyone else, I don't like the National Anthem so I want to take it away from all Americans too.

Sadly, Mr. Bill Press is not much more than a tick on the toilette seat of a public bathroom on Venice Beach and regardless of the amount of outrage he may cause by such types of statements, he will never amount to any real threat to the Star-Spangled Banner. I know it may come to a surprise to the ego of Mr. Press, but he is not significant enough in the whole scheme of things to make any difference.
Even in the anti-American climate that is pervading our country, the vast majority of the American people happen to like our anthem and it will take a lot more than some low grade leftist talk show thug to take it away from us. A hell of a lot more!

Finally, if Bill Press is embarrassed by our National Anthem, the solution is very simple. I am sure that the French new socialist government is more than willing to give good old Press political asylum, or maybe the Castro regime in Cuba.
And if all else fails, there is always Germany and the old faithful "Deutschland Uber Alles" which he can work to change into "liberal fascism uber alles".
So, leave my Anthem the hell alone, ok?

Just my thoughts!
