Well black is white now, debt=wealth you must have missed the memo.
When the healthcare fight is over, they will go after bloggers and talk radio...
People are starting to see that O is a communist and wishes ill for America.
Obie surrounds himself with commies, people he must agree with or they wouldn’t be around him.
The mask has been removed.
Great photo!
I have been to this bridge.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Concord Hymn
Sung at the Completion of the Battle Monument, April 19, 1836
By the rude bridge that arched the flood,
Their flag to April’s breeze unfurled,
Here once the embattled farmers stood,
And fired the shot heard round the world.
The foe long since in silence slept;
Alike the conqueror silent sleeps;
And Time the ruined bridge has swept
Down the dark stream which seaward creeps.
On this green bank, by this soft stream,
We set to-day a votive stone;
That memory may their deed redeem,
When, like our sires, our sons are gone.
Spirit, that made those heroes dare
To die, and leave their children free,
Bid Time and Nature gently spare
The shaft we raise to them and thee.

Of course not. They’ve had a monopoly for so long they feel entitled to telling us what they want us to know.
Catch that? Reporters should "report" the news, not CREATE it
I was so happy to hear Charles Gibson was retiring.
They wish the “Bob Doles” of the world would gain a voice again in the Republican party? hahahaha. Dream on! Conservatives are taking the Republican party back over!
MSM = No talent, no brains, no truth.
NO THANKS!
I have a vague recollection of some older technology based on state-controlled broadcast media that was pumped out free into the air on state-controlled frequencies...
Just semantics, folks.
Tonight's speech will, undoubtedly, employ "words" crafted and designed to get what the forces behind his presidency want the speech to accomplish.
As they critique it, those who value liberty must keep that fact uppermost in their minds. Else, they will get lost in the technicalities and "issues" of parsing phrases.
The big picture is individual liberty and prosperity for future generations through constitutionally limited power granted to government versus collective subservience to coercive control (tyranny) by government. The first is the successful and authentic idea of America's Founders, and the second is a counterfeit idea which has been tried and has always failed to make the lives of people better.
By his own claim in a campaign speech, "words matter." We must remember that "words" are only vehicles that carry ideas, and even the chosen exercise in semantics being thrown around gives the clue. What is the role of a trigger on a weapon? It is certainly not to cause the weapon not to fire! What a stupid choice of words.
If a person is intent on taking his cargo from Point A to Point B, and finds there are such obstacles to traveling by airplane that he decides, for expediency's sake, to take it by bus instead, except for the time involved, there is no difference in outcome. The cargo still goes from Point A to Point B. Changing the mode of transportation didn't change that fact.
Changing the semantics of the mode of getting the billions (trillions) of dollars involved in health care in America under the control of powerful "people controllers" in Washington, D. C., will not change the outcome and consequences. It will only serve to delay the onset of those consequences.
Calling the vehicle a "public option," a "trigger," a "cooperative," or by any other word should not confuse Americans about the cargo's eventual fate. The Far Left wants to transfer this large percentage of the American economy to the control of the state. Congress, the Senate, and the Administration need to be told "no" in no uncertain terms.
Changing the description is just an exercise in semantics. The destination already has been made clear, and it's not in the direction of liberty.

Hey, ABC! Remind me again who first thought up the idea of "YouTube Debates" during the presidential primaries?
So now you're lamenting the popularity of people creating YouTube political statements?

Back in January, the press had visions that by June, we would be singing Pro Obama songs, wearing our uniforms to our Obama jobs, and doing the sign of the cross every time we passed our Obama shrines.
Instead, they have a broken messiah whose policies are all rejected by the public. Human nature is human nature. The press is human with all their human biases. They worked so hard to get him in and despite their best efforts, they are finding that just saying he is a success doesn't make it so
In continueation, they are now forced to lash out against all those who disagree. That’s why the increase in the “racism” charge
