Rep. Kinzinger: Drudge and ObamaTrade.com spreading misinformation
Politico ^ | June 19, 2015 | Nick Gass

Illinois Republican Rep. Adam Kinzinger this week blamed misinformation from sites like ObamaTrade.com and other sites like Drudge Report that pass along those links for distorting information about trade legislation, including bills on trade promotion authority, trade adjustment assistance and the Trans-Pacific Partnership, the massive trade deal that has yet to be finalized.

This is quite funny given Drudge is mostly a news aggregator who publishes links to various news articles written by others. Drudges dirty secret is that he gives you both sides of the story, which makes it hard to maintain the progressive narrative.

Then publish the interim TPP rather than keeping it hidden in a Capitol subbasenent guarded by an abbey of illiterate monks with orders to strangle any Congressman who tries to copy a single word from it... Or something like that. Your keeping it secret means I have to copy sections from a Dan Brown novel to fill in the blanks.

That is why FOX gives him so much time and authority. The guy must be a McCain sychophant.

True-—Freedom of Speech is so ALL sides can be DEBATED so the truth can be known—which can never be truly known-—some ideas are closer to the truth than others and history proves what works and doesn’t. Only Free Market Capitalism and private property Rights (Natural Rights from God) create prosperity in human cultures . Rule of Just Law. (Justice Systems only promote “public virtue” (Montesquieu)-—never theft, welfare, vice (sodomy) slavery (Marxism)——all dehumanizing vices which use human beings as a Means to an End HAS to be condemned). All “systems” which create Masters for moral adults.

That is the problem with Leftism-—they pretend to KNOW the TRUTH-——and they BELIEVE in their UTOPIAN views and that there is NO God. All their (unjust) “laws” promote slavery and vice. (Under our Constitution, unjust laws are “Null and Void” (Justice John Marshall).

All assumptions are Big Lies with Marxism and their ideology forces Fascism-—totalitarianism. Think one way (NWO) or else you die.

Our Speech and News has been controlled by Marxists for decades-—and the “PC” language and “hate speech” laws are unconstitutional and part of destroying the Freedom of Speech.

When Marxists can control the Words/Language——they can control the proper perceptions of the ignorant Masses that our public schools have been pumping out (little Hitler Youth-like minds).

It is how they destroyed McCarthey (Diana West/Evans). They control the allowed Language and Lies to be repeated over and over and it becomes the Truth (embedded in the Minds of children and all adults to elicit the correct emotions-—it is operant conditioning).

That is how they got decent adults to embrace the vice of sodomy-—to overturn Christian Worldview for the pagan, Satanic ethics. They used TV images of Will and Grace and the vile behaviors and mental illness of sodomites to be covered up.

Control the minds of children and you will control them for Life. They have been embedding emotions-—like “pride in sodomy’ for decades. It is the Muslim worldview-—where they hate the opposite sex and prefer the little boys for sex (Shoebat). Muslims are sodomites—like the NWO Fabian Socialists, John Maynard Keynes who bragged about where to find the little boys to castrate and use in homosexual orgies.

We keep hearing about all this erroneous information floating around In cyberspace.

I take it we should listen to Katie Couric; yeah, she’ll give it to us straight.
Or Brian Williams - now there’s a guy who knows the difference between fantasy and reality...

From an old Hill article:
“Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-Ill.) defeated Rep. Don Manzullo (R-Ill.) in Tuesday’s primary — a big win for the rising GOP star and a relief for House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-Va.), who had endorsed Kinzinger despite howls from Tea Party groups.”

Getting funding to fight off conservative challengers seems to be the main reason for supporting this TPA.

"...But, generally speaking, the Protective system in these days is conservative, while the Free Trade system works destructively. It breaks up old nationalities and carries antagonism of proletariat and bourgeoisie to the uttermost point. In a word, the Free Trade system hastens the Social Revolution. In this revolutionary sense alone, gentlemen, I am in favor of Free Trade." -- Karl Marx

The left also said “Pass it to see what’s in it.” Or, was that Ryan? Oh, wait! It was both!

Kinzinger must first admit to the “misinformation” he spread when he pretended to be the anti-Establishment Tea Party guy against conservative incumbent Manzullo in the primary.

I think the congressman has half a point, various news outlets (partially for partisan political reasons) obfuscated the difference between an alphabet soup of trade related items. TPP has over the top secrecy assosiated with it, TPA and TAA were what they were voting on, TiSA and TTP are additional trade deals being negotiated. I believe that a large segment of the American people have no clue that those are separate items, thus because they have a problem with one, they have a problem with them all.

Anyone who says PTA doesn’t give Obama more authority is wrong. Without TPA both houses of congress can amend any agreement he sends them. With TPA they can’t.

Without TPA the Senate can filibuster a bad deal. With TPA they can’t.

TPA gives Obama more power. Other presidents were given this power, but that is no reason to give it to this president. Nor does it mean that passing TPA does not give Obama more power.

Voting for TPA is voting to give Obama power he does not have now have. It’s just that simple.

“Misinformation” is information the rulers don’t want the peasants to have. Things were smoother when the peasantry couldn’t read and didn’t have TV or internet.

so ALL sides can be DEBATED

That's silly. The politically dominant side does not and can not debate. All the Left can do is shout slogans and stick bumper stickers on their cars. In formal debate the best of them are lost. You have to have some facts to back up your arguments and you have to reason, neither of which is appropriate to liberals. Liberals believe something is true because they say it is true. QED. Reality is a mental construct.
