I just was a guest on Mike Feder's show SIRIUS Satellite Radio show and learned something deeply, deeply offensive.

The liberal channel is called "SIRIUS Left."

The conservative channel is called "SIRIUS Patriot."

1. It's OK.
Conservatives have to be convinced they are patriots every few minutes. They must not be allowed to think for themselves.

4. Everything is a lie in CON land.
Sirius "Patriot" for their wingnut channel really means Sirius "Traitor".

5. Don't really care what they call it;
the fact that it reaches over 6 mil. subscribers with top programing ( Lynn Samuels being questionable)is good enough for me. Would love to know how many listeners they ( Sirius left)have on any given day.

6. That has always bothered me, too.
Why can't we be "Liberal Patriot" ?

7. I thought there was a Sirius Right.......
....and that Sirius Patriot was more like the militia channel with guns and smoking and shit.

8. It's been like that for years
but I have never seen the reason to call one Left and the other Patriot. :eyes: The ones who are more patriotic are the lefties anyhow.
