I wish they stop pissing in our pool !

Does anyone here know which T.V. station G.E. owns, lol. More often than not people are harping on Rupert and his pet media machine while it seems everyone overlook the fact that one of the most powerful companies in the world owns a t.v. station. Give me a break. Oh know that kook Glen Beck jumping on the A.T.S. bandwagon and thinking outside the box, lol. Besides, everyone has a website now and they operate on web traffic so obviously they are going to promote it, not because they want to warp our minds but because they want to make money. That's cool if you don't like Fox, not everyone cares for them but you know a lot of people do. That is why they are successful and continue to smash the competition in ratings.

I guess its one of those "OCEANA IS AT WAR WITH EURASIA; OCEANA HAS ALWAYS BEEN AT WAR WITH EURASIA" things.

So here we see the neocons making a seeming 180 and coming sniffing around our lovable lunatic fringe, the home turf many of us have staunchly defended from the same neocon scum at risk to liberty, reputation and (sometimes even) bodily integrity over the past decade. First the bastids wanna beat us; now it looks like they wanna join us.

Actually, this is not the first 180 for this crowd. During the Clinton years, the same disreputable crew went under the rubric of "Libertarianism" in numerous online pigfights of the 90s...yes, hard as it is to imagine, the same crowd that has spent the Bush years bellowing about the need for the "war in eye-rack" and the "war on terra" were, a scant few months before 9-11 spun them around, the same gang that spent the 90s howling about "Janet Reno's jackbooted thugs" and the "Clinton threat to liberty" and so forth.

It just goes to show that ideological position is NOT what motiviates these people, as much as they seem to define themselves by pure ideology. Rather, they move like a school of minnows, sharply banking and swooping this way and that, with the prime directives being A) to stay with the herd and B) to get as close to the middle of the herd as possible. Conversely, those of us who DON'T define ourselves by ideology and claim to use our common sense and intellect in sniffing out the turf often end up having more cogent and well-defined ideological track records over the long term.

Color me unimpressed.

Dear Neo-Conservatives:

What, do you think that you can win the libertarians back by talking up Ron Paul? Half of us voted for Obama, because we so detest the hypocritical big-spending and war-mongering of the Neo-Cons. And when I say that we voted Obama, I'm not talking about "a vote for Paul/Baldwin/whoever is a vote for Obama." No, we eliminated the middle-man and voted for Obama. We would rather have 30 years of Democrats than another four years of a Neo-Conservative President. NeoCons: It was a vote against your bankrupt policy ideas.

Now, you guys can act like Ron Paul is your ideal candidate. You can interview him, give him a platform to speak, and act like you wish you hadn't thrown him under the bus during the primaries. That's fine. He won't embrace you; and if he does, we won't hesitate to bail on him. You scare us and we want nothing to do with you. We may rejoin the Republicans, but only after every one of you has been voted out of office and blacklisted by the MSM. You disgust us. It's over, between us. We've broken up with you, even though it meant leaving the Republican party, and we will never again stay in the same house as you.

Signed,

A libertarian (small "L")

PS: Stop trying to take credit for the Tea Parties.

I suppose it's only natural that out of complete utter desperation an organization will go to any lengths possible to insure it's survival.

Which we can see in this case entails a great deal of plagiarism.

Sad, lame, pathetic and they need to be called on it... no place of cover/shelter should be allowed for these monsters to hide or have a disguise. Assuming the country still exists, our greatgreatgrandchildren will be paying for the crapped they pulled. This den of thieves has to be completely eradicated.

Are people even watching what is occurring in the govt right now? It is as liberal as possible and they are taking over car companies, banks, aligning our country with communist dictatorships, printing money til the printing press dies from exhaustion, going after guns and ammo, adding anyone who doesn't agree with socialist ideas to a terrorist watchlist, and the latest atrocity was signing in a mandatory govt service law. Hellooooooooooooooooo why are you still harping on "neo-cons"? Please wake up soon. While you're campaigning against Fox News the current govt is destroying the country.

Is there actually a conspiracy in all this mess somewhere or is this just a politicial baiting thread? Or is it a jealousy thread? FOX is #1 in cable news because they are brilliant marketers whereas MSNBC and CNN are just shrill.

So .. where's the conspiracy?
