I forgot to mention Penny Pritzker, who was Obama’s national finance chair and who is now sitting on Obama’s team of economic witch doctors.

She was at the epicenter of the subprime loan fiasco from the very beginning.

“For all the media’s irresponsible coverage of the 2008 elections, they were the most blatantly dishonest and biased in their allowing Democrats to use the airwaves to present a blatantly false narrative that Republicans were to blame for the tanking economy due to their “failure to regulate.”

Can we take the media to court over this in a class action suit by any chance? On the grounds of failing to do their job in objective reporting?

I just heard that
Debbie Stabenow (D-MI)
Charles Schumer
Tom Harkin

are just three Dems talking about bringing back to ‘Fairness Doctrine.’

In the name of “Fairness,” they want to impose total domination of the media by liberals and deny conservatives any voice at all.

So probably not.

Fairness Doctrine, abortion and gun control. That’s the absolute bloody limit for me.

Well, as of now it’s socialism rammed down the country’s throat, $1.3 trillion in Porkulus, socialized medicine featuring medical rationing to let old people die of medical neglect, refusing to try the USS Cole terrorist even as we say we’re closing Gitmo, installing a tax cheat as our Treasury Sec, and on and on.

But yeah, Fairness Doctrine, taxpayer-financed abortion for the babies of the world, and gun control are worth getting pissed off about, too.

I think Glenn Beck nailed it yesterday.

He referred to David Copperfield, and how he does his magic tricks by presenting all kinds of distraction to take your attention away from what he doesn’t want you to see. You’re looking around here and there, and miss the REAL trick.

Beck said that there was so much going on to be outraged over that he frankly didn’t know WHAT to focus on; that he could do whole programs on any of a dozen different simultaneous outrages. And that he thought this was part of a deliberate campaign of misdirection.

The thing that continues to sicken me beyond description is the fact that Obama’s polls continue to remain high as the worst policies in our lifetime are being rammed through one after another.

Good facts about the economic crash but remember also the Credit Default Swaps.

I love the testimony of hitting the EPS number to the penny to kick in bonuses...classic. If you’re going to be a prostitute, you may as well make it lucrative.

See tagline below . . A couple of days ago, I heard Rush throw down the gauntlet to Obama and the Democrats, with a THUD! He meant it, and I think they will soon rue the day they became the “Party of Piranhas”. Rush has the “gravitas” to back it up, and Democrats are comical every time they tangle with him. It’s sort of like watching a “Road Runner” and “Wiley E. Coyote” show.

“...And that he thought this was part of a deliberate campaign of misdirection.”

It is Alinskyism. Throwing everything of the system at the system to cause it to become choked up on itself. Mass confusion...It’s deliberate.

Re Post #15 NOT Alinskyism. I meant Cloward-Pivenism dang it.

Thanks so much for a great piece! Easy to share with some ill-informed folks I just happen to know.

Proudmilitarymrs,
First of all, I honor you and yours for your family’s service and sacrifice. May God bless you all and keep you safe.

Also, appreciate the note. My ultimate goal is 1) to provide information and links to the truth and 2) to leave behind a permanent record for when the Democrats lead us to ruin.

I said to my husband as we watched Glenn that I am beginning to think that a lot of the pork put into this bill was designed to draw all the attention so that the real socialist stuff in there would get lost in all the outrage over the spending.
