Robert Cooper wrote “I propose we refer to the MSM as the ‘legacy media’ from this point on. I believe it is more accurate and takes away the implication in the MSM name that they are the source of correct and true information.” On Glenn Beck tonight, glenn called the news media the cult media and that’s exactly what they have been since BO came on the scene last year. When they’re covering Dems (and Dem corruption) they act like dumb idiots (see no evil, write no evil) and when they’re covering Republicans they could be candidates for a Pulitzer Prize.

“No peeking! Just vote for it. Force the vote. No time to wait.” – sounds like the Patriot Act.

“Preferred bondholders having their contracts abrogated” – Only because they wanted to wait for more of YOUR money to up the perceived value of the debt.

How about banks not being allowed to return TARP money? – But they are returning it.

“Forcing Governor Sanford to take stimulus money” – You mean the same way Jindahl was forced and Palin was forced, preventing them from grandstanding on a small percentage of the stimulus while raking in hundreds of millions of dollars? Yeah, how noble of them.

Now as to the original question, where has talk radio been censored? I’ll throw in a couple more” Where is Obama’s apology? When is Sean Hannity going to be waterboarded for charity? When are we finally going to stand up and say, “Mr. President, enough is enough! Your choice of spicy mustard is simply not acceptable!”

I hear you say we need a fair media. Just wait. All the major newspapers are going the
way of the horse and buggy. The corupt so called “news” out-lets will follow, as more
people realize they are being fed s–t by those left wing dandies. Oh my friends, the
good days are just around the corner. No more Keith Overbite. No more Obama.

#44 sheesh – Congress was censored. Stimulus bill. Nope. No peeking! Just vote for it. Force the vote. No time to wait.

How about shareholders being bullied by the Whitehouse?

How about dropping the voter intimidation case when they had an automatic conviction because the defendants never responded? Voter rights? No such thing.

Loss of liberties. Unions being moved to the front of the line. Preferred bondholders having their contracts abrogated. Forget your property rights. Unions come first.

How about banks not being allowed to return TARP money? Or being forced to take it in the first place? LImiting Exec pay even in companies not taking the money?

Forcing Governor Sanford to take stimulus money by bypassing him and going to the Legislature? Sure, we’ll just abrogate his authority as Governor by making him acccept those attached strings.

I could go on, if you wish, sheesh.

Unfortunately, the majority of Democrat constituents are crooks and liars who like crooks and liars; that’s why there’s never a shortage of liars and crooks in Washington and that’s why they will always be there. Like-minded people are always drawn together. These politicians are voted into office and are kept there for one reason only: to steal for their greedy masses, their creations. Why do you think Democrats always have to run as “conservative” Democrats? If they ran as the big, fat, lying thief-liberals that they are, they’d never get enough votes – they’d get some from their crooked minions, mind you, but not enough from the real conservative Democrats or Independents to win.

The MSNM will never, ever go after Obama and his administration or the Democrats in Congress like they should. They learned an important lesson when Jimmy Carter was president. They hammered him and hammered him and Ronald Reagan got elected – and they realized their mistake. After that, they have never done their job to the extent that they should and they never will. Why? Because they’re a bunch of crooks and liars them own selves. Because what they report and what they do is totally self-serving (and I really think they desperately want to be in the “cool crowd”).

So ask yourself this: Do honest people really want their elected officials to steal and cheat and lie for them? Do honest people want to profit off the misery and rights of others? Do honest people want the best for everyone not just themselves? Do honest people understand the reasoning behind that? Do honest people believe in forcing others to give up their properity against their will? Do honest people believe in violating the Constitution to get their way and punish others whose beliefs are different?

Republicans have always voted out of office people they are unhappy with. Always.

Democrats never do that. Never. Lazy crooks and liars. They deserve what they get. And crazily enought, by reading these blogs, they just don’t get that they’re going to get screwed just like the rest of us. What, you guys think that only our taxes are going to be raised and only our jobs are going to be lost? That’s the only saving grace for me; you’ll be going down with the rest of us. I can’t wait. That’s right, you won … hope that pays your bills.

With some notable exceptions that’s probably at least one too many things for them to keep in mind no matter how large their staff.

Good idea regarding the legacy media.

I agree.
I found an interesting “essay” or “outline” on that subject, something revisionist historians have recently discovered and determined to be some sort of ancient fiction or fantasy for the masses, obviously nothing that ever interested the elites.
As I recall, the name was, “Constitution on The United States” or something like that. You’d love it, goes right with what you express in your post. It’s a great fantasy, really, but I doubt it could ever be useful for long; too many people are either disinterested on the one hand, or power hungry on the other. If you like it, let me know what you think. Could a country like that last more than a few hundred years? It would take a lot of people with character, but could it be done?

I mean really sheesh. Let me see, who got us into the Vietnam War. Let me go through the list. Hummmm let’s see. Oops it was the Democrats! 50,000 dead? Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia all lost to the communists? Don’t play moral high ground, you don’t have a case. By the way, more civil liberties were lost during the Democratic administrations than the Republican ones. Go take a sheesh, things will be better in the morning.
