Don't bother trying to figure it out. The NY Slimes needs to quit sending a faggy theater critic to do a man's work.

Well I say the regular Joes are starting to wake up. At work even the most unaware workers are mad as Hell. I know of lots of Democrats who are paying attention and ready are bolting from the Communists. Lots of them.

Yes, the MaObama Populist tone is certainly becoming the base argument for the Democrats at the NYT.

You are right. The administration does care more of the perspectives of our nations potential enemies than the Republicans.
And of course in Obama’s narrow opinion it is the Republicans who are partisan. All while he spews partisanship and blame for everything in justification of his Cloward-Pivon policies.
I feel like I have been spun off into some parallel universe, or alternate reality. I would not have believed that this was possible 20 years ago.

I thought it was a faggy weatherman ???

Oh, sorry, that was CNN that had their reporter arrested in Central Park with his weewee tied up with a rope (I kid you not) ...

and drugs in his pocket -— which he was so stupid he showed to the cop without being asked .......

and got off with a reprimand

no jail time !!!!!!!!!!!!

Gee, Freepers, do you think any of us would get off so lightly for 1/10th of a crime like this? Or just this fool?

NY and the MSM ain’t it great???

The historian Alan Brinkley has observed that we will soon enter the fourth decade in which Congress — and therefore government as a whole — has failed to deal with any major national problem, from infrastructure to education.

Hmmmmmm. Four decades -- that would be the naughts, the nineties, the eighties and the seventies. So, presumably, Brinkley (and Rich) are referring to the sixties.

What was "the major national problem, from infrastructure to education" that the Congress dealt with? Could it be...poverty?

Ah, yes. LBJs "War on Poverty". And decades later, we have spent literally trillions -- and, still, about 15% of the country lives in "poverty". A proportion essentially unchanged from the sixties.

Proving once again that, to liberals, it is intentions that matter -- not results.
