The
liberalssocialistscommies that run NPR (into the ground) are totally clueless and think everyone is as stupid as them and the imbeciles who listen to their horrendous programming.“The proposal to prohibit public radio stations from using Corporation for Public Broadcasting grants to purchase NPR programming interjects federal authority into local station program decision-making. “This legislation would ultimately dictate the daily editorial schedules and news programs of nearly one thousand public radio stations across America.”
Huh??? It doesn’t interject anything because without the federal (taxpayer) funding they’re free to broadcast whatever crappy programs they want without any type of federal oversight. These people are morons.
They claim that only two percent of their annual budget comes from the taxpayers, even though the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, which oversees NPR, says it received $420 million, of which about $90 million went to NPR.
Right after the Juan Williams firing late last year, after Williams said he gets nervous if he’s on a plane and he sees a muslim onboard, NPR president Vivian Schiller attempted to go into damage-control mode, but failed miserably, saying that “NPR receives less than 2 percent annually, on average, from government grants, of their annual budget of $166 million.”
Yeah right. You how you can tell when a lib is lying? Their lips are moving.
CPB/NPR also receives taxpayer money from the National Endowment for the Arts, the Departments of Education and Commerce, not to mention the private donations it receives from various lefty foundations and private citizens from its almost daily beg-fests, where for only a $200 donation you get a $2 CD.
But let’s suppose only 2% of their annual budget is taxpayer funded, that’s $3.32 million. What happened to the other, oh, about $86.68 million of our money?
It turns out that these taxpayer-supplied funds are used in what is nothing more than an elaborate shell game. Some of the money goes to NPR to pay for their programming, and some of it goes to local NPR stations, which then have to buy their programming from NPR, so most of the money ends up in the coffers where it started, at CPB/NPR.
Since they claim only get two percent of their budget from us, I’m sure they could find alternative sources for those funds. I’m certain there are a lot of
democratssocialists who are millionaires and billionaires that could fund them. George Soros already donates millions to NPR. Let him cover their tab if he thinks the pollution that is NPR’s programming is so vitally important.The one thing that pisses me off about the bill being written by Republicans is that it would only cut off funding for NPR, not the Corporation for Public Broadcasting.
In these days of satellite and cable TV offering hundreds of stations, not to mention satellite and terrestrial Radio with thousands of stations, and of course the internet, there’s no reason whatsoever our money should be used for airing their far left-wing agenda on radio or TV, especially considering the trillions of dollars of debt the libs and some RINOS have racked up in the last few years.
Yeah, I’m a mean SOB, but I say cancel Big Bird and Barney if we have to pay for them! Maybe at the swamp they can put a recipe for Barney burgers in the LFG cookbook.

Four GOP lawmakers have proposed a bill that would end automatic granting of American citizenship to children born in the United States to illegal immigrants.
And of course, the libturds are screaming “RACISM!!!”. And to prove its racist, they ask a member of one of their many perpetually offended liberal groups, La Raza, a racist organization. Go figure.
Of course, this bill will most likely pass in the House, but no way Harry Reid (Dimocrat, NV) allows it to even get voted on in the Senate, and even if by chance it somehow was voted on and passed there, no way Obungler signs it.
I’m certain most of us here feel this way: We have no problem with people from other countries (other than muslim countries) coming here, as long as they come here LEGALLY AND DO NOT NEED TAXPAYER-FUNDED FINANCIAL SUPPORT OR ANY TYPE OF WELFARE!
Now, all that being said, the area where I live in Missouri part of the year has many poultry-processing plants. Most of their employees are from one of four countries- Mexico, Guatamala, Ecuador, or Honduras, and most of those people are here illegally, working for $7-9 per hour, doing jobs “that Americans won’t do”, as the libs and RINOS keep reminding us.
When these illegal parasites have their children here, we end paying for their births, costing thousands of taxpayer dollars per baby, since the vast majority have no health insurance. But just because the kids are U.S. citizens (for now), it doesn’t give the parents here illegally any right to stay here.
Nothing pisses me off more than going to the grocery store, picking up what I need, and waiting in line to pay, and seeing these illegal criminal aliens paying for their food with an EBT card or WIC card. We already have too many American-born leeches collecting welfare to start allowing parasites from third-world shitholes to get on the public dole.

Republicans are moving forward to eliminate one of the most contentious and obvious abuses of the U.S. Constitution: birthright citizenship. This measure was put forward in the 14th Amendment as means of ensuring that former slaves and their children would be American citizens. However, now we see how that Amendment is being twisted as the children of illegal aliens are instantly granted citizenship even though their parents are not Americans and have no intention to be. Something has to give.
As reported by Fox News, “Four Republican lawmakers introduced legislation Thursday that would end automatic granting of American citizenship to children born in the United States to illegal immigrants, arguing “birthright citizenship” is an incentive for illegals to race for the U.S. border.”
Reps. Steve King of Iowa, George Miller of California and Rob Woodall and Phil Gingrey, both of Georgia, said the current practice of extending U.S. citizenship to so-called “anchor babies” is a “misapplication” of the Constitution’s 14th Amendment.
“Passage of this bill will ensure that immigration law breakers are not rewarded, will close the door to future waves of extended family chain migration, and will help to bring an end to the global ‘birth tourism’ industry,” King said.
