Fox News Network: CLEAN UP!

One of my favorite talk show hosts: Laura Ingraham, has addressed in a big way the problem with the sleaze on the Fox News Network. There is quite a bit of momentum forming to contact Fox News and demand a better moral standard! Here is my letter to Fox News. Everyone, send a letter to Fox, it will only take a few minutes!!!

Dear Fox News,

Like so many other millions of viewers,I have been overjoyed to see the rise of a "Fair and Balanced" Network such as Fox.
I hope you keep up the investigative reporting and your commitment to the truth. It is what made you number one. The people who made you number one are comprised of people in this country who are committed to the truth and integrity our nation was founded on.

The people who have given you your success for the most part are fairly conservative people. The "T-Warriors" as Bill O'Reilly calls them are getting quite fed up with all the trash they have been seeing on your network lately. We don't mind hearing stories about a congressman's sex tape scandal (just to throw an example out there), but when you show the footage of the actual sex tape it comes across as being very sleazy and unprofessional. Throughout the day you are constantly showing sexual images of women. Bill O'Reilly is perhaps one of the worst offenders of this. His soft-porn footage he likes to constantly roll is an affront to the conservative people he likes to attract. How a society regards it's women and children is a good indication as to what direction the society is headed for. Showing these images constantly degrades and sexually exploits women and the gifts they were given by their Creator.

It usually happens that when a show or network has to stoop lower and lower just to get a story or an edge over their competitor, they are running out of ideas or their creativity is shot. I sincerely hope this isn't the case with Fox. I am speaking with more and more people who are fed up with this trash we get assaulted with when all we want is to hear the news. Your network cannot continue flooding my house with these images and so I, like many others are tuning you out. If you doubt where your customer base is coming from, I would love to see you run an online poll regarding this issue.

I appreciate your time and consideration,
Melissa Taylor

Immigration and Teddy

I have been having a great time listening to the Laura Ingraham show. She's hilariously smart and not a shill for anyone, unlike Rush or Hannity. Here is something she had on her show about Teddy R. and his comments on Immigration in his State of the Union speech. What has happened to conservatism?

TEDDY!!!

Our present immigration laws are unsatisfactory. We need every honest and efficient immigrant fitted to become an American citizen, every immigrant who comes here to stay, who brings here a strong body, a stout heart, a good head, and a resolute purpose to do his duty well in every way and to bring up his children as law-abiding and God-fearing members of the community. But there should be a comprehensive law enacted with the object of working a threefold improvement over our present system. First, we should aim to exclude absolutely not only all persons who are known to be believers in anarchistic principles or members of anarchistic societies, but also all persons who are of a low moral tendency or of unsavory reputation. This means that we should require a more thorough system of inspection abroad and a more rigid system of examination at our immigration ports, the former being especially necessary.

The second object of a proper immigration law ought to be to secure by a careful and not merely perfunctory educational test some intelligent capacity to appreciate American institutions and act sanely as American citizens. This would not keep out all anarchists, for many of them belong to the intelligent criminal class. But it would do what is also in point, that is, tend to decrease the sum of ignorance, so potent in producing the envy, suspicion, malignant passion, and hatred of order, out of which anarchistic sentiment inevitably springs. Finally, all persons should be excluded who are below a certain standard of economic fitness to enter our industrial field as competitors with American labor. There should be proper proof of personal capacity to earn an American living and enough money to insure a decent start under American conditions. This would stop the influx of cheap labor, and the resulting competition which gives rise to so much of bitterness in American industrial life; and it would dry up the springs of the pestilential social conditions in our great cities, where anarchistic organizations have their greatest possibility of growth.

Both the educational and economic tests in a wise immigration law should be designed to protect and elevate the general body politic and social. A very close supervision should be exercised over the steamship companies which mainly bring over the immigrants, and they should be held to a strict accountability for any infraction of the law.
