Can someone in Philadelphia enlighten the rest of us on
how well Rush's tv show is doing in its "test" time
slot?  Has there been much discussion of this move by
the local media?

I don't believe that the intent is to eliminate liberal views or
discussions but rather maintain a civilized level or mood.  I am unsure
what the original posters intent was (no libs or what) but I want liberals
to post to it, just in a civilized manner.  The moderator will only block
those threads that are name calling or just stupid comments intended for
feuds between individuals.  I don't know how to maintain a level of
fairness with a moderator though.  --Ryan

Hmm.  IMO, the only way the Republicans are going to win in '96 is
if they manage to suppress all the ultra-right wing hyperreligious nuts.
The Democratic strategy in '92 was move the party towards the average joe's
politics.
The Republican strategy in '92 was to move the part *AWAY* from the
average joe's politics, and towards the religious crazies (see
what happened to the Republicans here in Washington ... a platform against
yoga and medition =) )

Now guess who won?

Not true.  Except for an occasional screw-up (play on words unintended), the
military has not knowingly drafted, enlisted, or commissioned anyone whom
they knew to be homosexual.  Those who are later found to be such are quickly
separated.  Admittedly, my experience only goes back three decades so I
can't address what the policy was prior to that.  The "need every bit of
help they can get" argument sounds more like a Billary initiative.

Some "work". All you have to do is feed the summary through the biff filter
and _voila_, you've got B1FF. The biff filter recently turned up again in
the one of the sources groups (alt.sources, maybe?). As they say in

Reply-To: jpietro@perelandra.austin.ibm.com
Organization: IBM - Austin, TX
Keywords: rush, censorship, tv

Here in Austin, TX, we get to watch Rush's TV show on KBVO, FOX 42,
weekdays at 12:00 noon (yes, NOON!), the day after it's taped.  This,
of course, means we see Friday's show on Monday.

Last Friday's show, in particular, had a segment where a group of
children were "pledging their allegiance" to Rush.  There was one line
that went as follows:

   "...one conservative, just like ___..."

The word following "like" ("God" I presume) was cut from the audio
portion of the tape.  You could see the children mouth the word, but
no sound whatsoever.

Did this happen everywhere?  I'm curious if this was local censorship,
or if Rush did this to himself.  I seriously doubt the latter.

This is the second instance where a portion of the audio from Rush's
show mysteriously disappears.  I can't remember the previous instance
exactly, but it was recently (within the past week).

Let's be realistic here.  If there was no liberals (=a moderated group),

Noone seems to get this. Spotted owls and individual species are the
purported reason for the fight. The true reason is that the environmentalist
want to say the virgin (ooh) forests and the Endangered Species Act is
the only law with enough teeth in it to be useful.

By the way, the timber industry is all wet. There is a finite amount of
virgin forest. When it is gone, the logging jobs will be lost but there
will be no forest left. On the other hand, if we stop logging these
forests now, the jobs will be gone but the forest will still be there.
It's a resource that will be consumed.

The questions is: do we want to find training & jobs for these men & women
now or later? The most intelligent solution would be to ban the export of
raw timber. Saves the jobs and the forests.

Interesting event here in Iowa recently. Operation Rescue was picketing

  [answers were yes from Texas, Ohio, ans Mass.]

Ditto for Philiadelphia.  I got the feeling it was perhaps blipped 
out in the original video tape the family sent in.  It didn't really sound 
like the audio cut out on my station channel.

Too bad it wasn't left in.  I would LOVE seeing Rush getting dissed by 
other conservatives who might not appreciate him airing the Lord's name 
used in vain...

    I really do sympathize with your distaste for name-calling. Whenever 
it happens it's deplorable. I might want to extend that farther than 
you'd care and say that I think that even some of Rush's name-calling is 
deplorable, but that's not really the point here.

    I've seen a lot of accusations here that name-calling is "typical 
liberal behavior", but I'd like to suggest an alternate interpretation. 
Name-calling is immature behavior; whether it's done by 5 year old kids 
or 20 year old college students or 40 year old talk show hosts. Sometimes 
it can be funny, but it very rarely adds anything to a discussion so I'd 
like to think that we usually manage to avoid it here.

    In my opinion the reason that we're seeing more of this behavior from 
liberals is that those particular liberals are young and immature. I would 
also add that people seem to have a greater likelihood of being liberal 
when they're young and conservative when they're older, so liberals just 
end up with the lion's share of the immaturity. But it's not so much a 
liberal trait as it is of the immature. Just in case you've never seen 
this, I now include

I shouldn't say that.  What he posted was idiotic, and it was an idiotic
