We have plenty of liberal/conservative voices. Plenty of Democrat/Republican voices. But FEW voices from those who identify themselves as Independent. It was the Independents who, in part, made a difference in the election of Obama. I even occasionally listen to Michael Savage. I want to know what all people are saying and thinking.<br /><br />But if some media outlets don&#39;t permit all voices, then the media is biased.<br /><br />The outsourcing of American jobs and &quot;illegal&quot; immigration are huge issues that out elected issues have swept under the rug.<br /><br />Everyone else has sovereign borders. Why is America not allowed to have sovereign borders?Safiyyahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07670659439981133346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32212161.post-68603375430350885342009-11-29T20:18:45.445-05:002009-11-29T20:18:45.445-05:00Asalaam alaikum,<br /><br />Hmm. Lou Dobbs. I don&#39;t think he&#39;s racist. I think he&#39;s an isolationist and so dreadfully boring. I could not turn on his show without seeing some piece about closing the borders or China taking jobs from Americans. Like a blond Pat Buchanan. Eww. <br /><br />After a while, people stop listenig, no matter how valid one&#39;s arguments. W/ Dobbs, less would have been much more. <br /><br />I&#39;d much rather watch CNN than Fox News, the exception being when Dobbs was on. But I ain&#39;t no liberal. Thems fightin&#39; words! :D<br /><br />Dobbs forced himself out-- didn&#39;t need any help from his bosses.
