If You Haven't Figured it Out by Now, NPR is RED Radio

I used to listen to NPR, almost every day a number of years back, and sometimes I found that there were some interesting and informative programs on the station.  Car Talk, Science Friday, their discussions with artists and entertainers (but not all of them) were sometimes interesting (what's the show with Terri Gross?  "As it Happens"?) I began listening to NPR as I moved to the area where I currently live, but after I had been listening, September 11, 2001 changed the country I live in.  As I continued to listen to NPR, I myself felt that George W. Bush was taking strong steps to defend our country and prevent attacks from happening again, but I often found them attacking the President.  I did not even vote for George W. Bush.  I was politically uninvolved and apathetic to American politics.

NPR's strong bias against Bush, Republicans-conservatives-as I would come to know them really did not sit well with me.  It turned me off.  And soon, I discovered that there was an alternative: talk radio.

I discovered Rush Limbaugh, Michael Medved, Hugh Hewitt, Bill Bennett, Laura Ingraham, and others, and found their programming a whole lot more interesting than anything I had previously heard on NPR.

I have made up my own name for NPR.  I call it, "Red Radio."  This is not anything I learned from any of the aforementioned talk show hosts; it's just that NPR is living in a world that doesn't really exist.  A world where everyone should get along if they would just talk to one another and think like "progressives:"  I believe that there are many amazing things to see in the world, but it can also be a very dangerous place.  They believe in a world where there is no evil (only freedom fighters-against capitalist and colonialist tyrants that is), where anyone who thinks there actually is evil in the world is a bigot, where political correctness dictates how we should live our lives, instead of people just thinking for themselves and doing what's right, where racism is alive and well, where America is inherently unfair to them.

It is a network based on a naive and foolish political correctness, and misguided assumptions about "races."
To me, there are no races, but one: the human race.  Our color depends only on the amount of melanin in our skin, and that seems like a pretty superficial distinction to make for me.  They live in a world of limited opportunity: I live in a world where there is unlimited opportunity as long as the government and the Democrats don't suck the life out of the economy and the opportunities available, and take away our freedom by sucking up all our income with confiscatory taxation.

Finally, I also want government to spend more time minding its own business, instead of everyone else's, and that is where NPR and I have to part ways.  I still like the Car Talk guys though.
