how much have you donated to pbs? Given that 15% of it's funding comes from our tax dollars, you think if those who love it so much would kick in some, it would have no issue.

I also think that we should have a publicly-funded military, but it doesn't mean that I want to personally fund it. There's a reason we have a government, and that's for things that are better organized and funded by the whole society.

And yet it does around the world, ever heard of 'Radio Free Europe', 'Voice of America' or perhaps 'Stars and Stripes' back in the day?

Well to be fair, snowflakes fall on all sides of a yard, not just the one you wish to make light of.... ;)

Second we have had a citizen militia since before the founding of our Republic. Many right wing snowflakes like to rant on and on about the Unorganized Militia which is not part of any government funded military organization.

So we have had one since before many of us were born and yet some claim we still have a snowflake storm... :confused:
 
they need to be taxed also at the same rate other radio and tv pays

I support this, especially given what passes for 'degenerate art' among artless progressives. Michelangelo would be turning in his grave.
 
PBS should be shut down along with CNN and any other broadcaster which is critical of trump.

I called for defunding pbs 20 years ago when trump still just a businessman

The flaming lips at pbs not only look down on trump but trump voters also

Screw them

Btw: pbs will not cease to exist

But it will have to be paid for diectly by liberals themselves
