Freedom of speech and freedom of the press have gotten way out of hand. Instead of producing high minded movies, television programs and comedy shows we are constantly deluged with stories depicting the lowest form of life. This exposure for our young only desensitizes them to the possibility of degeneracy. Why is vulgar humor considered funny? Why is unbrideled sex and vulgar language considered necessary to sell entertainment? No wonder the islamic fundamentalists believe we are infidels. We are!!!

LiarBlogFake, huh? Bookmark that dump, folks, for the next time you want to see what wins in a cagematch between good ‘ole Eastern bloc-style dependency and the sheer political self-delusion it takes to actually pull it off.

That place is where reality conforms to completely unsupported opinion and cites All That Is Free and Good at the same time.

Lest you think we merely jest, remember that the 43% that wants to torch the Constitution in the name of preserving it — for that most noble of all constitutional enumerations, namely an even larger menu of American Socialist options — infests such hives of collectivism as DireBlogCake.

I say split the country. This is finally a house divided against itself.

81% of Americans say the country is going to hell, and I imagine 81% also say that they don’t like the weather.

Well the study(and many comments on blogs) seems to show shows that way to many Americans have lobotomized themselves and left thinking to a heavily left-biased anti-American movement in the general media. Most of the ‘arguments’ against Bush, the economy, global warming, you name it that I hear are sound-bite misinformation at best they simply have taken fully to heart as gospel.

Most of it is 1% research into any claim, and 99% trying to remember how to repeat exactly what they hear in a NYT article at lunch for their political ‘argument’ for the day with co-workers(and rarely ever brought up twice). Not to mention they are grooming children in public schools today to take the same approach to any so-called facts or ‘news’ they hear in their adult lives. The scary part is how many people I talk to simply take a point of view over a certain issue with 0 effort and put up 100% resistance to anything other then their chosen view. The Obama zombies are a perfect example, they don’t even have any idea why they like him in the first place.

Rotwang – I used to have a long ponytail. It would even get hard at times. I think I’ve “grown up” some since those “good ol’ days”. I will freely admit that I WAS WRONG. I suspected that this was the case when I got spit on in LA, (I’d just returned from a “dirty litty police action in
Southeast Asia with the good ol’ USMC). But when I listened to John Kerry speak at the University of Oklahoma in 1972 I really started to worry about my liberal positions. Well, the pony tail is a distant memory, (yes I do have a few functioning brain cells), and I’ve awakened from my 40 year fog. Try it, you might like it.

A correlated question should always accompany these polls, with results reported:

How have you reached your conclusions; and if based on information, what has been its principal sources.

81% of Americans say the country is going to hell and 80 of Americans disapprove of Congress. Is that a coincidence, or is it just me?

This so called poll is just the tip of the iceberg in liberal socialist media propoganda. As Sept. & Oct. roll around leading up to the Nov. election we will be sick and disgusted by how much of this we’ve had to endure. The liberal socialist media, along with Obama, Hillary and Rotwang have a singleness of purpose, they hear the clarion call of “collectivism.”
Their socialist dogma (read rotwang above) is only surpassed by their contempt for individualism and self-sufficiency. Their polytheist religion makes intellectual elites, progressive politicians and socialist journalism the (g)ods that they bow down to. They can’t, for the life of them, understand why there is such resistence by those they deem ignorant of their version of the truth. I’m encouraged that Obama and Hillary are the standard bearers for this philosophy (religion) as we elect a new president. Because the more they gain exposure the more self-evident are the systemic failings of liberal socialist collectivism. Go Barack Hussein, Go Hill & Bill, Go Rotwang… shout your religion from the rooftops ’cause we’re laughing with you not at you… really!

This poll is utterly and intentionally faulty, and it is an insulting lie. For some years now, the minute I see “CBS” or “New York Times”, I know I can immediately dismiss whatever is printed below it, because it is probably full of cr–. Both organizations have completely squandered their credibility, which is the only thing any news organization ever really has.
