I personally think NPR is consistently the best broadcast
journalism on the
air...in any media! "All things Considered" is worth this
resource all by
itself. If you agree, please sign and forward this.

NPR is a liberal/socialist/communist propaganda machine that
spews lies and distortions for the Democrat party. The Democrats
created it and funded it with taxpayer dollars to get their
propaganda out.

It should not only be cut off from government funds, but made to
give back all the funds it was unconstitutionally given by the
Democrats, PLUS INTEREST.


Sure- just as long as Halliburton has to give back its money too.
Gotta be fair.

You seem to forget that Halliburton is a private company that provides
products and services to clients that contract for those same products
and services. Halliburtion is supposed to make a profit and pay
taxes.

NPR is not private and it is not supposed to make a profit and it does
not pay taxes.

As a stockholder in Halliburton I would fire any CEO for not making as
much money as he can from the clients. The fact that the government,
in
its stupidity, allowed a situation where Halliburton is the only
supplier of the services, in a area of the world, where the government
need the supply of those services is not Halliburtons fault but the
governments fault.

In the capitalist free market system you raise the price of your
products and services as high as possible. It it bankrupts the
government then it's the governments problem not Halliburtons. (of
course if the Government is the only customer of Halliburton then it
becomes Halliburtons problem.)

You obviously don't know much about the free market capitalist system.

I know that contracts awarded on a cost-plus and no bid basis aren't
elements of a "free market capitalist system." The CEO of Halliburton
has learned, as have many others, that he can make as "much money as he
can from the clients," if he operates on insider connections,
favoritism, cronyism, and back room dealing, instead of on true "free
market" principles.
