I could not have said it better. Socialism has not worked anywhere it has been tried because it was not done correctly. (sarcasm)
Good article.
No, the regime will keep the media apparatchik, who will dutifully mouth the propaganda of the regime verbatim....so, really, nothing will change.
(P.S.--thank you for your service.)
No way... They will wait until the debates...
PULPITS of FNC and WSJ. No bias there. He's not trying to make anyone think 'rligious right' is he?
