		<description>As you suggest ExcessiveModerate, The libraries ban books already.  There are 172,000 book titles published a year in the US.  Even in a big library system maybe 90% of those titles are BANNED and BURNED -- that is, to use real world speak rather than liberal incendiary wackyness -- the titles are not part of the books purchased that year.

Libraries only have so much money and so much shelf space.  They can only buy a FEW of the titles available.

And it is likely that the titles bought -- the 10% or so that make it into a modern public library are heavily weighed to the PC side.</description>

		<description>Although I&#039;m not a librarian, my day job is working for the Los Angeles Public Library.  The leftist bias is palpable, and while they deny deny deny there is any censorship (e.g. they have no problem with allowing &lt;em&gt;anyone&lt;/em&gt; to download porn), several librarians have admitted to me that they refuse to stock books they personally disagree with on the basis that they have no &quot;literary merit&quot;.  I guess those books encouraging teenage witchcraft rank up there with Cicero.  &quot;High Times&quot; is up there with &quot;Newsweek&quot;...in the young adult section to boot.

The system &lt;em&gt;will&lt;/em&gt; stock conservative bestsellers because they can&#039;t ignore them, and believe it or not, even in cesspool LA there&#039;s about a 50/50 split in conservative/liberal patronage.  One librarian remarked he was glad that we carry conservative tomes because the authors only get paid once &quot;for that cr*p&quot;.

Worse still is the blatant anti-white racism in promotions and hiring.  Non-whites can and are promoted and hired anywhere within the system, but for example if a white person wanted a Senior Librarian job in a predominantly black community, forget it - &quot;not a good fit&quot;.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;As we’ve noted, Palin did not attempt to ban any library books. We don’t know if Emmons’ resistance to Palin’s questions about possible censorship had anything to do with Emmons’ firing. And we have no idea if the protests had any impact on Palin at all. There simply isn’t any evidence that we can find either way. Palin did re-hire Emmons the following day, saying that she now felt she had the librarian’s backing. Emmons continued to serve as librarian until August 1999, when the Chicago Tribune reports that she resigned.
&lt;/blockquote&gt;

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Except that what you say happened in Alaska and the so-called “book ban”..never happened…nor did the librarian get fired, nor did the Governor have any consideration of firing or banning. This has all been debunked by all sorts of fact checkers…ie..one called Factcheck.org. But when you are a leftie hatemonger…truth be damned…hate and lies are order of the day. Great platform….lie, cheat, steal…the ends justify the means…&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Did I ever say she banned any books? 

And she did try to fire the librarian, but the residents of Wasilla demanded she didn&#039;t. If you want to pretend like she didn&#039;t even consider or attempt to fire her and invoke FactCheck.org, well I&#039;d really like to see that link.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;As usual, individuals like les or bluesoc have to come along and toss in nonsense to obfuscate the real issues&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Personally I thought I was clarifying the issue by pointing out an improper (in my opinion) analogy. Moreover, I thought there would be more sympathy for PRIVATE businesses selling what they choose and PRIVATE citizens speaking out in protest. Maybe this is the wrong place for a libertarian. 

Even if you find the analogy apt, weren&#039;t you a little bothered by &quot;[a]nd even if she did inquire about the [book banning] process, so what?&quot;

So what? SO WHAT? Should politicians really be making those decisions?</description>

		<description>Can anyone explain this:

&quot;Less than a week after the Alaska State Senate Judiciary Committee voted to issue subpoenas in the investigation into Gov. Sarah Palin, those state employees who were ordered to testify won&#039;t be honoring the subpoenas&quot;

Don&#039;t these people respect the law?

Why wouldn&#039;t a public servant want to testify?

What are they hiding?</description>

		<description>Sarah has them running scared. Hillary will miss an opportunity to appear with Sarah at the UN protest. No comment from BO and Biden. What will Hillary do when Sarah is President of the Senate? Run away again? It takes a real woman to stand up to the third world thugs!</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;You guys don’t actually HAVE to sell the thing!

Just “carelessly” hide the boxes, “accidentally” drop them off pallets, “forget” to stock the ones you have, and then suggest a nice Al Franken or Micheal Moore book as a substitute…

&lt;/blockquote&gt;

They do this on college campuses as well. Any publication they deem unholy, they steal or destroy. Leftists are the worst hypocrites.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;And where are they now? Stewing in their salons and screenwriting rooms. Concocting horror stories about terrifying Christian conservative bogeymen who threaten peace, tolerance, independent thought, ambiguity, and difference. Patting themselves and each other on the backs as the valiant protectors of dissent.

(But only the kind with which they agree, of course. Shhhhh.)&lt;/blockquote&gt;Actually, I find it fun to watch these nutjobs shake in their shoes at every turn, knowing both that they have already lost and that they were full of $h!+ from the beginning.

THAT&#039;s entertainment!
