Its like saying wow gas is cheap across the street its only 3.10 compared to the 3.30 I paid yesterday.

This is the problem with America, decades of saying oh well it could be worse over and over, now we are here on the verge of collapse.

Just like a month ago after a blow out election , if I told you the dems were going to pass Don't ask don't tell, START, extend welfare by 300 billion, pass a food takeover bill and other government grabs would you be happy?

No instead our side looks to the defeat of the omnibus bill that was never intended to pass but to look as destructive as possible, to satisfy our side, while giving cover to the RINOS that voted for the other bills at the same time.

The bottom line is what gets passed, not what is stopped. Its almost like the saved or created job scam.

Now the republicans are talking about cutting 100 billion when they added 300 billion post elections. If my math is right that's an additional 200 billion of spending for 2011.

So, to get back to my point, the fact that FOX news is the best network compared to garbage does not make it good.

The best continues to get considerably worse and that's the problem.

All you say is true, but I think we need remember that these networks are in the entertainment business and are careful not to offend too many viewers.

It seems you like Beck so let me use him for an example. It seems to me that the theme of his message is that the federal government has overstepped its constitutional role in operating unconstitutional welfare programs like Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid. I believe that's basically the message Beck wants you to believe he's sending.

So, show me a tape of Beck calling for the termination of the Social Security program, or the Medicare program, or the Medicaid program. I don't think he ever actually calls for the termination of those welfare programs, programs he implies and wants you to think he believes are unconstitutional.

Do you think Beck and Fox aren't afraid of offending the Social Security and Medicare recipients in their audience?

I do. No wonder the man is an emotional wreck.

Fox ain't perfect, but it's better than the rest.
