I agree. I would also like to see funding cut for NPR and Planned Parenthood. They both get plenty of private donations. Radio is radio. Couldn't that money go to women's shelters or something a little more worthwhile? However, the "price" of living in a free society is also rising up. I rarely see the conservative movement rise up - with the exception of the Illegal Immigration Reform which was a good thing to see. Somehow, the left seem to be able to mobilize much better and much more efficently than the conservatives do.
