Thank you FOX News. You have done Goebbels work for him well.
As Herman Goering said: " But, after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy or a fascist dictatorship or a Parliament or a Communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same way in any country."

The irony of people whoā€™ve gone completely stark raving mad, courtesy of the Fear Industrial Complex, being the ones trying to make it harder for sane people to vote is lost on, well, pretty much everyone.

Indeed they areā€¦ I just wish the results, though inevitable over time, would show up faster.

Iā€™m pretty sure that in ca. 1936 the same number of Republicans felt that FDR was a greater threat to America than Hitler.

I am so not surprised by this. Nearly every Republican Iā€™ve spoken with in the last decade is convinced President Obama is not a true American and that he is a socialist-Muslim-Communist. I have long given up trying to have any semblance of a reasonable discussion about Pres. Obama. They ALWAYS ask me ā€œHow can you be so misinformed?-- you used to be so educated and had an open mind.ā€ Of course, the subject of FOX Entertainment always comes up, as they areā€“you knowā€“the only ones who tell the truth.

You will never be able to fix the Chosenly Stupid Ones.

Because ending two wars, not starting another, securing nearly universal health coverage for all Americans, bringing unemployment back down to under 6%, helping the DOW tripleā€¦ all of that is a great threat to Americans.

oh yeah and Obama is such a failure at foreign policy heā€™s got all the mideast fighting their own wars instead of sending our troops in to do it.

Wait.

Same here. The GOPTP are all about bringing on the Armageddon-style of existence. When God or Jesus doesnā€™t poke his head through the clouds, with one foot on land and the other on sea, they will still find a way to blame us and Pres. Obama for messing up Godā€™s plans. Darned Almighty ainā€™t so almighty in their eyes after all. (Sorry to step on some folksā€™ religious toes, but religion is at the base of all this.).

Yeah, but when we thought Bush II was an imminent threat to the USA, we were right.

Itā€™s one thing to ā€œprovide entertainmentā€.

And, to many, thatā€™s what FOX ā€œnewsā€ is.

But now we can see that itā€™s much much more.

Or should I say much MUCH LESS.

How I would trade the manic enthusiasm of looking at ten mostly African American young men on a basketball court for the desire to STOP Republicans in their quest.

The RWNJ media has convinced the convincible that on the ladder of success:

  1. one day youā€™ll be rich so coddle the rich so you will be coddled when you get there.
  2. those on the ladder below you are gaining on them so stamp their fingers so they donā€™t climb past you!
