As the bad economic news continues to emanate from the United States — with a double-dip recession now all but certain — a reckoning is overdue....

can you imagine if we had a fair non biased media?

First off we would not have Mccain, Obama would not have even got his state senator seat and Hillary would have been their nominee.

Also 0’s poll numbers would be half of what they are and the black community would have realized he has done nothing for them and only uses them along with he has no clue what it is like living in a black community .

Also his freeloading wife would not get away with hypocrisy of losing weight for us while she stuffs her fat arse

The state run “media” is full of liberal girlymen. Barry reading from a teleprompter makes liberal girlymen faint.

I 'Stole' this from somewhere ..

There is nothing mysterious about Obama's methods.

Don’t expect the media to change.

Far from repentant, the media is busy shaping the next election outcome, using the same old tactics.

Obama may be damaged beyond repair, but that won't stop them from trying to choose the republican nominee.

I expect a certain number of Americans to fall for the media's worn out routine. But its much harder to watch many Freepers bite once again.

“can you imagine if we had a fair non biased media?”
______________________________________________

It is all part of a Marxist game plan.
Once you take over education and media, you have it all.

It will be next to impossible to reverse the damage.

I now have Fox news for the first time in eight years.
I consider it just a slight tilt to the left of center.
The Obots and neo-Marxist, however, talk about Fox as if it were a disgusting vast right-wing tea party conspiracy.

That just tells me how out of balance America has become.

I found where I got the Demagouge line from (first post) and here is more from the site ..

Obama’s continued pathological lying can only damage America. First, it instructs the public such behavior is acceptable. Moreover, Barack’s demagoguery is extraordinarily dangerous, since the average person has no means of independently verifying his claims, meaning voters fly blind for information on state policies and elections. This must change. The first step is replacing a hideously corrupt and incompetent mainstream media, already underway due to suicidally biased tendencies.

M. Scott Peck essayed on pathologically dishonest persons in People of the Lie.9 According to Peck, (a Christian convert after becoming a psychiatrist) people who habitually lie cross the line and become evil, devolving into enemies of humanity in their desire to hide deceptive and evil natures. He writes,

“Evil is the exercise of political power—that is, the imposition of one’s will upon others by overt or covert coercion in order to avoid spiritual growth. Because their willfulness is so extraordinary, and always accompanied by a lust for power, I suspect that the evil are more likely than most to politically aggrandize themselves…The malignantly narcissistic insist upon “affirmation independent of all findings.” Self-criticism is a call to personality change…The evil are pathologically attached to the status quo of their personalities, which, in their narcissism, they consciously regard as perfect. I think it is quite possible that the evil may perceive even a small degree of change in their beloved selves as representing total annihilation…They project their own evil onto the world. They never think of themselves as evil; on the other hand, they consequently see much evil in others…”

"Barack Obama obviously assumes his lies cannot be stopped and they aid change. But what does it mean Obama needs and feels privileged to lie? Certainly, that his policies are unacceptable if transparently presented. Further, that Barack carries Pragmatist definitions of truth and right and wrong inside, which, as discussed—is functionally indistinguishable from Marx’s diabolical ethics.

The above is from The Canada Free Press, which I know absolutely nothing about 'but' .. Everyone needs to read this entire article: Our Demagogue in Chief

People of the Lie is a good book - great description of commonalities of how a lot of evil people operate. I need to get another copy and read it again - it’s probably been a decade.

with a double-dip recession now all but certain...

For the millionth time, this is NOT a double-dip recession. NO, its a 970 dip recession! Each day in office is a recession - it goes away at night, while I can temporarily dream away this nightmare regime, only to return the next morning.

Double dip recession? The budget deficit is 12% of GDP... That's JUST the deficit. Unless the economy is roaring somewhere somehow that we missed, we've been in a sustained economic depression since Obama took office, and the only thing that covers it up is the massive amounts of cash the federal government is borrowing at unprecedented speed and simply washing into the overall economy.

This isn't about being a deficit spending hawk or whatnot, but being coldly analytic about the numbers. If the economy's ‘growing’ at two percent and the federal government is pumping in 12% of the GDP in borrowed money, wouldn't the actual number be a ten percent shrink in the economy?

It's the massive donkey in the room that no one seems to want to mention, lest it be recognized as a massively crashed economy that simply has not improved in four years.

“That just tells me how out of balance America has become.”
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

I am on my second marriage, so is my wife. Let me tell you how much I love my wife. I love her enough to put up with her 36 year old son from her first marriage who is brilliant at purely technical stuff but has the common sense of a dirt clod, he actually watches MSNBC to find out the truth that is kept from America by that lying Fox News! I am serious, he thinks that Ed Schultz and Rachel Maddow will feed him the truth. He was an Olberdoofus fan until Keith got canned. I try very hard not to have any kind of conversation with him beyond what is absolutely necessary. I am not the kind of person who suffers fools gladly. Is that true love or what?

The next time I hear a black person grouse about how “Obama’s not doing nothing for the black community; we have outrageously high unemployment”, I’m going to tell them that Obama is not going to do anything for them either. He KNOWS they’ll vote for him no matter what.

I think you tell the people you love the TRUTH, and let the chips fall where they may.
