The key to an article like this is to find the word “centrism” and find out how the author defines it. He places Juan Williams near the Centrist line, so he must be writing from the Left. Once you know a person’s “centrist line”, you know everything about their ideology.

I agree with you and it is affecting my personality. Not that I had a good personality to begin with.

The Establishment™ has found a way, loopholes if you will, to maintain control without the consent of the masses. They use the MSM, the judiciary and the threat of a government shutdown as a foil for any meaningful change(unless it is a change THEY want). They are winning and the people are losing.

There are no peaceful solutions anymore. Doesn't anyone else see that?

Affluence seems to deaden the political senses.

The website christianheadlines.com is owned by Salem, an empire of fake conservatism and NeverTrumpers.

Glad you got that in. I tried to comment but the comment section seems to be turned off now.

Fact is 1st question of the 1st GOP debate was designed by Fox to derail Trump by Having Megan Kelly ask an utterly absurd “gotcha” question designed to enmesh Trump in the Dems primary campaign meme of “GOP War on Women”. It was a question that might as well been written by the DNC. It was an absurd shameful joke of a question. Millions of Americans saw it for what it was and it was the start of the end for Kelly at Fox. Prior to that she was starting to beat BOR as top watched show on Fox, after that she faded into obscurity.

BOR specifically referred to Free Republic as a “hate site” in one of his shows. I shed no tears that blowhard pinhead behavior finally caught up with him.

Hannity shows how you deal with these smear jobs. If there was not some truth to the attacks on BOR, he would of fought, not quit.

The Five is an awful show.
I only have Hannity, sometimes Tucker, and Fox and Friends.

All the other shows can take a flying leap, though Bill Hemmer is watched in my house by others in the family.
It is mainly One America News now.

I make sure my TV is not on Smith, and yet there are people on here who watch him, and then post on here moaning how Shep Smith is reporting. Well frigging don;t watch the drama queen then , and stop adding to his ratings.

"...although I think it belongs in the earlier afternoon not prime time."

Agreed. I listen to people talk and scream over each other all day. Squirrely chatter just doesn't sit right when the day is winding down.

You comment was very good. He is not a conservative, he may think he is, but RINO at best. Distorts much of what happened during the election. Another who thinks he gets it, but absolutely does not.

Very true. And remember what happened almost a week prior to that. After being warned in back channels, she breathlessly opened her show with the recycled "Raped his wife" slander, interviewing the Daily Beast smut peddler, using BREAKING! graphics and chyron scroll, going for the decapitation strike.

If you look for the concurrent threads here, you will see that some of us were watching live and noticed she got kinda cold feet towards the end realizing she really stepped in it ( she's a lawyer, she's been divorced, she knows what this was all about, but went forward anyway ). But it was too late for her, as Michael Cohen contacted them and was on the next night ( IIRC ).

So ironically, what she did that night with her tactical smear was make a huge strategic mistake in firing before she saw the whites of his eyes. Trump got pissed, went on offense and by the time the debate rolled around he walked into that arena loaded for bear and she never stood a chance. She shot herself in the foot and very few folks to this very day realize that it was a fait accompli before that loaded debate question was ever asked.

She may very well have knocked him badly at the debate had she not prematurely spent her ammo. We'll never know. The truth is this, inside of five days, she changed the course of history for Fox News going forward as well as taking herself out in the process. What a career move, she joined the Dixie Chicks knowing full well what that meant.

I REALLY like Watters, and think he will influence the commentary of the others on this program, to the positive.

He is there to look befuddled and keep his comments t minimum like Bolling did when the producers would shut him down for picking on Juan.

We will see if they hold him down like they did Bolling.

Dear OneVike,
Thanks for the ping.
Some folks, who could be pigeonholed as “C and E Christians”, think they can claim full labeled Christianity. I’ve seen it in my lifetime, as i think some other folks have, too. Yet, they vote (D), are ‘socially aware’ with their ‘snowflaky’ kids, and other social ills that they propogate willy-nilly.

Whatever happened to those ‘preachers/pastors’ that admonished the congregants in acting to feed the envy of the world, and the resultant thirst, ‘for what they got’?

American society is going into two camps:
government is God, and all that is demanded to feed it;
God deigns government, and is subject to Him.

The first three I would agree with.

That being said, I gave up on Fox being "Conservative" 5 yes ago.

Yes they have Conservatives but they have about as many Libs.

OAN is about the only truly "Conservative voice out there.

1) Lefty/Democrat Rupert son James Murdoch is now in full control of FNC.

Beyond that sad fact, little else needs to be said.

Orielly talked tough about bj and the klintons but, then he met him at a party he folded like a cheap camera. Same thing about hitlary, how he would make sure she didn’t get elected then nothing.

Is Shepard another left wing nutty Christian? What a pile of steaming crap. If anything FNC was entirely hostile to Trump, posted fake polls showing him 5 points behind, and never, not once tried to promote him. Shepard is just another never trumper.
