"What good fortune for the talk show hosts it is that people that love us do not think." -Sean Hannity.
(not really)...........But I tell you I'm sorry, I try to listen to these conservative talk show hosts while driving (Sean, Rod Arquette, Rush today) to see what I can learn. More often than not there is almost no substance at all. Opinion x whatever - 10, 100, 100,000, 1,000,000 does not = reality or fact. Probably Doug Wright of KSL is the only talk show host who actually discusses the basis for his opinions and explores the basis for opinions of his listeners and guests. Even if you don't agree with him, he should at least get your respect for guiding a dialogue that has real substance.
It is not important to me that so many people believe this or that because their beliefs and opinions do not equal reality, truth or fact. I want to know what the foundation of their opinion or belief is.
There is no virtue or value in claiming or knowing that 49% of America believes that their liberty is being eroded by government. The real question is what is the specific governmental action, law, etc that you find objectionable and why.
There is no value in hearing a general rant regarding taxes, user fees, or licensing fees are too high. There is value is discussing what is the specific fee or tax, what is it being used for, does it provide value, should it be imposed and if so, is it too much and why?
What's wrong with a dialogue?
