Can’t We Do Better? We're going to have to — luckily it’s early.

I’m not much of a conspiracy theorist — and I certainly have nothing on Paul Craig Roberts whose most recent article, helpfully disseminated by the Ron Paul Institute, claims the Charlie Hebdo attacks to be a “false flag” operation — but I can’t help but wonder if the “mainstream media” is playing up the potential presidential candidacies of Mitt Romney, Jeb Bush, Mike Huckabee, and Rick Santorum simply to depress Republican voters.

Or, going the full tin-foil-hat route, maybe these guys are themselves double agents, part of a MoveOn.org (does it still exist?) sleeper cell which was just activated (by someone who doesn’t get that Americans don’t want to talk about the 2016 election in January of 2015). Their goal: To make the GOP look so ridiculous, so full of unappealing candidates, that independent voters scoff and Republicans begin considering staying home in 2016 the same way they did in 2012, handing an eminently winnable election to a living national nightmare in a pants suit.

To be sure, some press coverage of Mitt Romney is skeptical, with recent articles describing Republican ambivalence (to put it kindly) about his potential candidacy. Other pieces, though, including in liberal outlets such as the Boston Globe (an outfit that knows Romney better than most), seem to be trying to help Romney push an explanation for his “stunning change of heart.”

The thing is, Mitt, I don’t care why you changed your mind....

Well, this is the type of article and viewpoint which makes America appear like some European nation or worse. An oppressive nation wherein people exist for the benefit of politicians and conflict themselves over allegiance to same. It used to be the other way around in America.

This article reminded me of a society gossip page. Fewer and fewer of us here at FR, least of all me, gives much of a damn which one of the perfumed princes of the uniparty emerges on top.

Welcome to the new boss, same as the old boss.

This is sort of more like a false false flag moment where the powers that be are claiming something that is, isn’t what we all see it to be.

No wars will ever be fought to be won, control is now the key... Fear is the ultimate motivator and our government is in awe of the way islam controls with their death squads.

Desensitizing americans to the process. 2016 is definitely a pivotal point in american, nay world, politics.
