Question?

[LickNeckey]

Do FSD and other resident ditto-heads receive copies of the RNC talking points? 

Or do they simply watch too much fox news?

Thoughts?

The only politically themed shows I ever watch is Rachel Maddow and  Bill O'Rielly.  If you watch Maddow you can see everything they're talking about on Fox with an hilarious, bizarre, or pathetic interpretation.

Maddow is the only msnbc/fox news/cnn/hln show I can stomach watching.  They all take themselves so seriously that its unwatchable.

I get all of my talking points from Jon Stewart

Some of us grew up without Fox News.  Some of us didn't believe the socialist propoganda from ABC, NBC, CBS and PBS.  We learned to think on our own without being indoctrinated by some teacher(s) in High School or College.  We learned by studying and coming to our own conclusions.  We don't need Fox News as we haven't needed it in the past either.  We know that Socialism has never and will never work in the long run, because we are smart enough to understand simple math and operating in the negative can't be sustained for the long run.  We know through studying history that Socialism can be National (Fascism) or can become Communist and either directions have resulted in the murder of 100's of millions and the continued murder, tortue and tyranny of people in Cuba and China among others.  We don't need the talking points, because we understand the belief in a republic government that is limited and capitalism, though flawed is the best form of government and economic system.

We know you can't think on your own and you need ABC, CBS, NBC, MSNBC, CNN, PBS, Newsweek, Time, NY Times, KC Star, insert City Paper here, The Daily Show and your Government to tell you what to think and do at all times.

I get all my news from twitter like a normal person.

Twitter/social media is awesome for breaking news (Harveyville getting boned last night is a prime example). The problem is you need people that will also stick with the story til done. That means actual people being paid to gather news.

Oh, and Twitter is good for following anything you're interested in that isn't mainstream. It's like the old TV Guide channel on cable, lets you discover all sorts of crap.

[steve dave]

twitter is the mainstream media if you want it to be.

Pffft. "Fox & Friends." It's the morning show, not exactly prime time. By the way, Steve Dookie is a KU grad and a complete moron.

What did your comparative studies teach you about unbridled capitalism?  Did it teach you about the Gilded Age, robber barons, and rampant greed?  Did it teach you about the Great Strike of 1877?  Were you able to see how the accumulation of wealth among fewer and fewer people generates societal issues?

Funny how "progressives" always seem to be looking backwards. Apparently, we need massive government and "social justice" because, otherwise, we're going to return to Upton Sinclair's "The Jungle."

Some people say a man is made outta mud
A poor man's made outta muscle and blood
Muscle and blood and skin and bones
A mind that's a-weak and a back that's strong

You load sixteen tons, what do you get
Another day older and deeper in debt
Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go
I owe my soul to the company store

I was born one mornin' when the sun didn't shine
I picked up my shovel and I walked to the mine
I loaded sixteen tons of number nine coal
And the straw boss said "Well, a-bless my soul"

You load sixteen tons, what do you get
Another day older and deeper in debt
Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go
I owe my soul to the company store

I was born one mornin', it was drizzlin' rain
Fightin' and trouble are my middle name
I was raised in the canebrake by an ol' mama lion
Cain't no-a high-toned woman make me walk the line

You load sixteen tons, what do you get
Another day older and deeper in debt
Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go
I owe my soul to the company store

If you see me comin', better step aside
A lotta men didn't, a lotta men died
One fist of iron, the other of steel
If the right one don't a-get you
Then the left one will

You load sixteen tons, what do you get
Another day older and deeper in debt
Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go
I owe my soul to the company store

You must have missed the part where I stated that Capitalism is flawed.  Yes I believe in laws and necessary regulations regarding capitalism.  I just don't believe that Government can run an economy top down better than a free market.  And we probably disagree on the type and amount of regulatory influence.
