Hey, Scott, here’s another one to drop.
A humble 60 second remembrance of the NEEDLESS tragedy in Benghazi and how it SHOULD impact the coming November election! 4 American heroes died as Obama and Hillary made a mockery of the traditional and sacred military motto of “NO MAN LEFT BEHIND”.
DO WE CARE? DO WE EVEN REMEMBER??

Upfront I don’t know the answer... but what about his wife. Would still be his Nephew/Niece.
Good thing facebook didn’t refuse to post pix of a wdding cake for a same sex marriage.
Could be proecuted for that.
Unless Ed Mezvinsky recently married one of Paul Soros' sons, I would say no.
Possibly a great uncle - Mezvinsky’s grandmother’s brother.
Do you support Jim's right to delete comments on FR?
Well it wasn’t based on looks.
At his current audience level, sure, but when he starts swinging a 100 million viewership, then not so much.
At some level, a media service becomes a public access issue, and at that point it becomes a national interest issue.
Perhaps we can nationalize Facebook after the election.
Maybe not so much as nationalize it as "freedom of speechify" it through legislation.
Or we could leave all broadcast networks, all search engines, all social media systems, and virtually every other means of communicating necessary information to the American people in the hands of Left wing censors.
That is the option we are going to get if we do nothing.
We can talk theory and philosophy, or we can talk reality, and the reality is that they own the communication system and we don't.
If we allow this lopsided condition to continue, it won't be long before we will be calling each other "comrade."
The Fairness Doctrine will be so much better when "we" get to decide what's fair?
Count me out.
Count me out.
And there it is. Exactly what I was expecting you to say. I must say, I constantly deal with people who are so much smarter than me. Something that would take me hours of research and contemplation to arrive at a decision, others can whip out in the course of a few minutes or even seconds!
We have a massively biased system of information control in this nation, and you are worried that liberal opinion might get overwhelmed when the existing censorship paradigm is assailed?
You are too smart for me. So what's your answer then?
Freedom.
...you are worried that liberal opinion might get overwhelmed...
I'm not sure how you conjured that up.
It would be conservative opinion that would be overwhelmed when we "freedom of speechify" it through legislation.
Me too, but we aren't getting it now are we? It's being suppressed by total liberal control of the airwaves which result in manipulated elections.
I'm not sure how you conjured that up.
It is the demonstrable consequence of the policy you favor.
It would be conservative opinion that would be overwhelmed when we "freedom of speechify" it through legislation.
Banning censorship on major media systems would overwhelm conservative speech? More than what we have now?
You do realize that San Fransisco Controls the internet, and New York controls the airwaves? (yes, I am exaggerating, but not by much.)
I'm pretty certain this is a more flippant question than it is serious, but a reasonable answer depends upon a lot of things and some unknowns.
If Hillary gets elected, the process will be accelerated. Likely there won't be any further short term significant impact by the conservative segment of society. (till a revolt anyways.)
The media is already controlling what a large plurality of the population think and believe, that will continue and get worse. Liberals are making noises about "negative interest rates", to force people to spend money instead of saving it, and a "cashless society" so that the government will have absolute taxing and tracking ability on all the people's resources.
I'll pull a number out of a hat and say "ten years", but there are so many factors involved that anyone saying they can predict this accurately is a fool.
We can all understand mathematical functions, and so we may not know at what X value Y reaches an asymptote, but from the bit we can see, we can be pretty certain Y is going to reach it at some point.
