Besides Fox, I wonder how many of them will talk about Benghazi. Judging from Guests, it appears that some networks want to waste time talking about that Ex NBA Player claiming he is Gay (Which I still don’t believe).

f they were as intelligent as they have been told their entire lives, how come they have not solved the economic problems in five years when dummy Bush solved it in two? After decades of them telling us they had all the answers why don’t they have this answer? The reason is, they do not have any of the answers and have fooled America into believing they are more intelligent than they are. They have built a system which is a giant circle of wagons shooting anyone who disagrees with their world view while labeling themselves the intellectual powerhouses. Just like most of today’s science, they are an agenda driven fraud.

The Orthodoxy. The Left here operates by the same basic principles it operated by in 1920s Russia and 1960s China—the ruling elites feed the agenda down to the intelligentsia (media and academia) who then codify it all as “fact,” the nomenklatura turn it into “policy,” the appartchiks carry the water for it and ferret out the naysayers (who keep thr gulags full and the dunce caps headed), and the useful idiots figure out soon enough what insanity they need to “go along” with — or else.

The Orthodoxy. Don’t leave home without it.

Yes, but as soon as he crossed the Potomac, he contracted Potomac Fever. It happens to all of them. Many of them exhibit rapidly worsening symptoms. After a couple of re-elections, many of them forget their constituents in favor of their new friends across the aisle.

You can’t stay there and stay sane. Not possible.

When you truly look at liberalism there is very little actual intelligence, rather we have a large circle of wagons of people all covering for each other. <<<

BINGO!!.....it's the reason why it's so frustrating debating a liberal....No amount of logic or proof can sway them from “group think”.....to admit even a minor flaw in their reasoning or thinking, absolutely crushes their egos and self esteem!!!.....
Hence the name-calling as their last line of defense

Ive come to accept that as the “white flag” of an intellectual discussion....you've proved your point!!..anymore discussion will only result in more and stronger personal attacks...

[ROCKLOBSTER]

BENGAZI!

Good Morning All and thanks AB for the thread. At least FNS is covering Benghazi. It’s the lead off story. Other than that it’s all about the homosexuals.

[ROCKLOBSTER]

Er, I mean,

Good morning everyone.

Thanks for the thread and ping AB.

Goes straight to the panel to discuss.

Cokie Roberts sucks

[TomGuy]

when you break down what he says there is no real intelligence there. He is a bully and a name caller who passes himself off as an intellectual and by the liberal establishment’s definition he is.

That is a developed tactic. It even happens here on FR, especially during election cycles or heated legislation events. Those who use the tactic do so because they are unable to defend their positions in discussions. They don't have facts or knowledge, so they bully and become belligerent.

They are easy to spot. On FR, for example, they attack other posters (making it personal) rather than attacking the content of posts. Many of them are very adept at using the alinskyest tactics.

The tactic is especially used by the community organizer types, the progressives, the Liberals, and those pushing PC agenda issues.

I heard a few minutes of c-spam earlier this morning. It was totally infiltrated by left wingers again all cry-babying about how those evil guns keep killing people. Amazing how guns jump out of locked closets unlock themselves and then go and kill people all on their own.

[Alas Babylon!]

Well, here’s a new statistic for “Cinco de Mayo”:

The record low for May in my small town in east Alabama was 41 degrees. This morning at 5:31 AM it was 38.2 degrees.

Amazingly cold. I had to turn the a/c off and turn the heat back on.

Global Cooling is upon us! Send more CO2!!!

[TomGuy]

MTP

Leahy manages to blame the Republican House for Benghazi by suggesting that the Republican House would not povide funding for security.

Gregory: Are we any safer?

Harmon: Yes and no. ... we need a narrative ...

These morning shows are sometimes better than Comedy Central. At least on Comedy Central, the characters know they are jokers. On these morning news talkies, the characters don’t know how clownish they are.

[animal172]

The Commurat on FNS is admitting that the Benghazi memo put forth by Susan Rice was scrubbed.

[TomGuy]

Amazing how guns jump out of locked closets unlock themselves and then go and kill people all on their own.

The only thing worse are eeeeevilll SUV's.

[bray]

Thanks Paleo for taking it from theory to real life. It really is Moscow on the Potomac.

They no longer need Gulags or firing squads since they can do it virtually with the TV. They simply destroy lives on the TV with their talk shows and keep everyone in line or discredited like they have done to Palin, Clarence Thomas or any Conservative.

Pray for America to Wake Up

[Sirius Lee]

or discredited like they have done to Palin

Well, they tried anyway, but she's still electing Conservatives.

[rodguy911]

Brilliant stuff again bray!

How we got obama, obamacare and the rest however is a little more complicated.

As you say the average liberal is a mind-numbed robot.Rush does not state that liberalism is a mental disease for nothing. It truly is.

Along with the muzzies liberals are some of the most brainwashed individuals on the planet. The question is how did they get that way?

It's through a slick manipulation of every phase of our society/life from religion to education, to voter intimidation to programming our every move through legislation, judicial decree and finally altering the results at the ballot box.

We are up against a jaded, viscous enemy who uses political victory after victory to help destroy us and a once great nation.

Destroy their politics and they will fold.

[ROCKLOBSTER]

WOW!

Very lively debate on FNS featuring a new face Congressman Jason Chaffetz (R) and an obvious lying RAT apologist Congressman Steven Lynch.

It is definitely “must see TV” and way too rapid fire and amazing for me to monitor and type at the same time.

Chaffetz is very sharp and able to articulate the many points he wanted to cover including how the State Dept was intimidating witnesses (survivors)...four people are dead, Hitlary’s signature on a major document and State Dept refusal to release document as well as their intimidation tactics while allowing review of non-classified documents.

Ughhhh!

McPain up now.

[jpsb]

McCain is on Fox now, I had to turn the TV off. The man makes me il.
