Unfortunately the low info types get their news free off the airwaves:
For the week of April 15, 2013, ABC World News with Diane Sawyer averaged 8.49 million Total Viewers and a 2.0 rating/8 share/2.34 million in Adults 25-54, according to Nielsen Media Research.
4 times foxnew's ratings..... < / curb >
I love me and really miss me. I hope I come home soon.
People who suffer from BDS are unable to see Bush as he really is, he and his dad with the help of Rove dismantled almost everything Reagan did.
GW is a big government New World Order socialist, in fact both he and his dad pumped the idea of a New World Order.
So here’s just a few things Bush did that are socialist, you list what he did that was capitalist:
A. Drug benefit for the elderly.
B. AIDS money to Africa.
C. Auto bailout.
D. Attempted amnesty.
E. No teacher left behind.
I know there are a few more but can’t recall them.
So now it’s your turn. I see Bush as he really is, sad to say I voted for him twice.
So please list his conservative creds.
Fifty percent of Americans (conservative Americans) are serviced by one half of one cable channel (FOXNews) Almost no competition on the conservative side. Easy pickin's...
The other 50% of Americans are serviced by CBS, NBC, ABC, all the newspapers except one, all the cable outlets but one, all the news magazines... etc... the liberal side is one tough market to compete in...)
You're selling the man short, sick. But that's par for the course for you.
You seem to take a strong dislike to anyone on our side who's bright, successful, passionate, or effective. And woe be unto them, if the people actually love and admire them. You will make it your business to run them into the ground on this site.
You purposely left out ‘ or dead wrong’ which is in the case of your hero Rush as those links showed.
Maybe that is why you love him, you need someone who tells you things that will be proved wrong.
Many suckers really believe him when he says things like McCain then Romney will beat Obama in landslides. He is effective at that for sure.
Chasing cars on the highways is not for me,
Much as I admire the guy, I can't argue with that. If there was ever a time for action, this is it.
The great thing about Rush's business is that he only has to be smarter than those who believe him, like those who believed him that McCain and Romney would win big.
Trump played that game too.
If Rush were merely a pollster or prognosticator, I'd have to agree with you, but predicting winners and losers in political races is about .00001% of what he does.
You want to hang him for being wrong about a horse race and ignore how good he is at what he really does, which is read our enemy and deconstruct them on-air for the public.
Like I said, you can't stand real leadership on our side. Seems to be your chosen task in life to tear them down wherever you find them.
SURE it does!!!
(If you own the TRACK!!!)
They're all around us. Perhaps you're one yourself.
The problem with conservatives, is they're not naturally the rebellious sort. They tend to mind their own business and hope that others do the same. They don't think like liberals, who are always networking and collaborating to bring their perceived enemies down.
Conservatives also understand that, fundamentally, their way of life is the one that predominates in this country - despite the never ending attacks, erosions, and leftist advances over the last century. In that wise, they're in a defensive position, while the left is positioned on offense.
Those of us who frequent this website understand that the field is shifting, and that the left has almost turned the table to the point where their preferred way of life is predominant. We correctly see that it's time for conservatives to go on the offensive, and quit merely fending off and enduring the attacks of the left.
Quite a question you posed there. It strikes to the very heart of the current political/cultural dynamic in America.
Brain wipe?
Your reply is interesting. My view on the last 237 years, is that the conservative ideal/idea, has never been respected. Our Constitution is against human nature, if only by the vanity of self governance. Now, we are past a tipping point. Perhaps, there is still time for recovery. Conservatives have never had a problem, lest the weak. We now live in a society/culture that has succumbed to a low variable, and it is crushing the life out of everyone. The Builders have left the room, for a time. We are in for a long rough road. I pray that civilization survives.
Also...Thank You for your thoughtful response.
Since we're dipping our toes ever so slightly into philosophical waters here, I'll give you my take on that.
In my view, the Framers constructed our Constitution with an eye toward underscoring some fundamental concepts that were set forth in the Declaration of Independence. The phrase, "We hold these truths to be self-evident..." was a landmark point in our understanding of man's essential nature. It then naturally followed that the formal constitution of our new government should follow those lofty precepts.
The Framers, being the wizened people that they were, also recognized that men who are granted authority over other men, have a tendency to abuse that power over time. Such is the flip side of our true nature as beings. Thus, they included in our Constitution, a set of checks and balances to thwart, and hopefully prevent, such a predictable occurrence in the future.
It was even said at the time of our founding, that the Constitution was crafted for a moral people, and that it was wholly unworkable for any other. That has been proven to be true by the generations of the last 75 years or so, who in their moral degeneracy, have looked to undermine, cancel, and overturn the Constitution at every opportunity.
Fortunately, the American Experiment gave birth to a new strain of people who's genes still run strong in our population. If it were not for the truth and strength of the basic American character, this nation would have long ago succumbed to the dark forces which seek to abolish it.
I don't think there's any argument that we're living through the worst onslaught of attacks against our fundamental way of life, and yet - we still stand, daunted, but resolute in our determination to survive this scourge.
Don't let the barking moonbats deceive you. They are not winning, despite the deluge of demoralizing propaganda they're raining down on us. One of the chief reasons this website is so valuable, is that it acts as a truth filter for patriotic Americans who might otherwise be convinced to surrender to the horde. Don't buy the hype. They cannot, and will not defeat us, so long as we "bitterly cling" to what we know is right, and maintain our determination to resist their evil.
I know how you feel.
Never give in or give up. Thank you, for standing with Our Founders. May we all stand together, come what may.
Thank you, FRiend. I'd rather die while spitting in their eye, than lie down and surrender.
