Michael Moore must be so excited he is peeing his panties. Castro and the goons that limit the dangerous freedoms of the Cuban people, so they can’t hurt themselves, are the cat’s meow for Michael. He wishes he would have had Castro’s goons beating the crap out of him when he didn’t have the discipline to stop eating too much. In another couple of years, if that long, this will be America. Obamao and the Pelosicrats won’t tolerate free speech and political opposition.

Already a dem consultant has been given a warning by the Sorosobama regime to avoid FoxNews. It’s already starting here, as well.

totalitarianism can only exist in an information vacuum. “fair & balanced” is the last thing they want right now.

As I said BACK IN NOVEMBER, cancel all cable television, mainstream newspapers, magazines. Boycott advertisers. Go Galt on them. And vote the bastards OUT! Everyone loves their football too much, or their Oprah, or... whatever. The only thing the media understands is pulling the plug. There has got to be a FOX only package. Satellite tv would make billions if they offered it.

“There has got to be a FOX only package.”

I think you can get it on the ‘net. Could probably hook up a TV if you had broadband. But when the s hits the f, FNC is just as bad as any of them: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/2380270/posts?page=117#117
