We are in a police state now

I view Flopping Aces as a pretty reputable New Media source, so I've put them here in News, not the Blogger forum. I have no connection with Flopping Aces, so this is not a case of "pimping my blog".

I have posted the full article, as one assumes FA is sympathetic to the goals of FR.

I find less and less in the so called "real" media worth reading, much less posting.

Odd that the blog was already pimped by it’s designated pimp:

Exact same article.

CWII Ping.

It's getting pretty obvious, isn't it. Blatent. The Obama regime isn't trying to disguise themselves much.

What's next, Ayers appointed as head of the Dept. of Education?

HT: Travis.

We’ve been in one ever since the Patriot Act. Since then, it’s just been a matter of fine tuning.

Hmm, that's weird because I did a search on "Police State" and it didn't show up. Maybe I was searching tags not titles or something? Are title searches case dependent? Weird.

Wasn't aware that they had a dedicated pimp. We even formatted them the same! LOL.

The only difference: I didn't excerpt it, as FR rules are that you are not supposed to excerpt blogs. I veiw sites like Flopping Aces as sort of Pro Blogs, somewhere between a full website and a blog.

My determination is whether they have their own URL or they have a blahblah.blogspot.com or blahblah.wordpress.com type of URL.

Maybe that's not a good enough rule. Paid advertising? Lots of blogs have that? Original reporting, lots of mainstream sites have almost none.

Thanks for posting the article.

At some point you may learn the difference between "it's" and "its."

What is wrong with the original post??? Seems okay to me.

And at some point you may learn to identify blogpimps.

[M. Thatcher]

It's = it is.

Its = belonging to it.

The poster meant "its" as a juvenile insult (the "pimp" is an "it," not a human being, har har), but instead used the contraction for "it is."

They don’t even pretend to care. Why should they with Boehner and McConnell ostracizing the TEA Party and rolling over on command?

Thanks for posting. If not for you, I would have missed this piece. I had seen a few of the cited articles, but Dr. John does a good job of pulling them together.

Dr. John does a good job of pulling them together.

Such a good job that he does not in fact attach his real name to them.

[kitchen]

And you hold Dr. John to a higher standard than yourself? (That’s rhetorical; please don’t answer with an expectation of a response.)

Thanks for the info.

I just read some information on pronoun possessives.

We are never too old to learn.

Thanks for the ping. A very important read.
