Americans don't need to be Gitmo detainees to be tortured. As we are compelled to listen to the cycle of news on a daily basis about what the Cheneys said (and others like them), that's torture!
These people are not called out on the facts enough. Are they being paid by these media outlets?
The security of our nation is being severely affected by these people.
No one minds a debate about politics, but the lying should not be tolerated.
The next time any one of them say anything, they should be required to provide a video clip or to reference a written document supporting the statement or opinion.
That should be the "new rule."
Calling all who believe in change ------------
Media - pay NO more attention to Limbaugh
Bloggers - do not write about Limbaugh
Rush Limbaugh will become "invisible" without attention.
He feeds off of attention and it helps his cause (of spreading hatred in America).
We fall into this trap all too often - when we give pure evil its just due.
No form of hatred should be given "food."
We should restrain from ever writing or mentioning names like Limbaugh.
I will start first.
As of this blog, I will no longer mention the name of R. Limbaugh.
I invite you (esp. the media) to do the same.
We MUST take people like this out of the conversation for a diplomatic America.
This man speaks words of treason and terrorism and we should have not part of it!
Join me.
Corporate news outlets worry more about ratings than news.
CNN's John King's interview with Former Vice-President Cheney sparked off the psedo-debate this past week. A sitting president does not have time to spare with a former Vice-President.
In this country, it's one thing we can count on - and that's entertainment.
The media is not concerned with informing us of real problems, unless it's "breaking" news.
We're in the dark, my friends.
To be the leader of the free world, one would think quite differently if visiting outside of the country.
Too much attention is paid to commercials and how much money journalists receive.
There's no diversity in the media. We look at the same tired faces and "they" ask us to believe what we here. So much of the truth is distorted until the lies and the truth start to all sound alike. No one is interested in giving us the truth.
We pay for elections. We donate money towards campaings. We stand in line to cast our votes. We help to pay the salaries of reporters who spend way too much on clothes that don't properly fit them or hairstyles that could only mean anything at a Paris fashion show.
We demand news - not fluff - not opinion - but, hard facts.
And, for goodness sake, stop having the same tired faces as guest "analysts." Who chooses these people anyway?
Cable news (all stations) need to seriously revisit their diversity policy. I'm sure that people from a variety of ethnicities can read a teleprompter.
So, instead of trying hard to pull in the most viewers and "leaking" critical information of national security (to be the first), we might want to step back and allow the President (along with Sec. Hillary Clinton, and others) to do the job that we invested in.
The main stream media should take a serious look at how real journalists report - not for the glory, but for the truth.
Everyone has a hand in national security.
People need to know the truth.
Is this something we can isolate and eradicate?
Let's be proactive - instead of reactive.
Lives are at stake.
Tag Line: The truth will prevail.
In the words of Sonja Gupta: I don't want to freak you out."
Yes - tell me the truth. What's going on that we may need to know?
Why do these people insist on sugar-coating information?
If this should be a real concern, alert us before more people die.
The GOP will regret not giving millions of people a chance at better health care if this virus truly hits us.
Are we prepared?
Shouldn't Cheney be taking it easy - like on an island somewhere?
And, why is the media pumping him up?
Are the news outlets that desperate for filling in time?
This guy is a train wreck. Everybody knows it.
Maybe, we were looking for WMD's in the wrong place. They were right under our noses the entire time!
The
Eve of
Anarchy
Party
must know that it's not the 1700's.
And, we don't want to re-do a CIVIL WAR.
Accept that we have a smart President.
Remember when we didn't have such a smart guy at the helm of the ship? It wasn't that long ago.
Plainly: DECEPTION
Sarah Palin hides her true personality.
Behind those glasses is a mean person. That's my preception.
She also comes across as someone who can curse like a sailor.
The GOP falls in love with truly good deceivers.
Palin has no substance. She realizes that she stands in front of ignaorant people, to a large degree, who will latch onto anything she claims as true.
Her personal life is filled above the brim with problems. She cannot answer any questions about policy with grit.
She is basically shallow. Some people are just that desperate. There is no doubt that Palin began this occult movement. Actually, John McCain is to blame. Now, he wants to throw her under the bus.
She is a twisted person that caters to other twisted people. Let's not forget her pastoring experience.
Ever see how she holds her baby? No cuddling. No true eye contact. No holding close as nuturing mothers do. She holds the child backwards.
She's not a happy person.
Let's examine just how unique Texas is:

Statistics of hate Crimes in Texas (most committed by whites, 44%, against blacks)
http://www.txdps.state.tx.us/crimereports/07/citch6.pdf
TEXAS HAS A LONG HISTORY OF HATE.
These are just recent accounts.
And, only the tip of the iceberg.
I have an idea - Governor Perry, just step aside and watch US grow!
Go to an island somewhere. Take Tom Delay with you!
Let's pray for some of our white brothers and sisters.
Don't think for a moment that this country is going to change easily.
Hate groups have grown tremendously in the past 10 years.
One glaring fact about these tea baggers - they're all white.
Trust that every other ethnic group is paying CLOSE attention.
This nonsense should be stopped immediately before race riots break out.
This is crazy!
And, all of it is based on lies.
Who's the father of all lies? Satan.
If Mr. Perry doesn't like the way things are run here and cannot support the new President (and show some respect), he should go to live in another country.
Sorry bud, you're no longer needed.
Texas should have a Democratic Governor.
There has been too much racism in Texas far too long.
Breaking from the union?
"Ear Marx/Obama shining shoes" (writings/drawings on signs)
Claims to Christianity?
Colonial attire
Television/radio rhetoric
- ALL ingredients of vulnerability.
CAREFUL!
Disagreement is one thing - overthrowing the government is something else.
Where were they during the disgraceful Bush years?
The world is watching and we look pathetic!
Fox News is dangerous.
There are way too many "hidden" messages leaping out to those vulnerable to do anything to see a white person in charge.
This thing is not about taxes. People are carrying signs that mock our President, as if he is responsible for the mess we're in.
How can they get away with inciting a revolution? Shouldn't they be the target of the FBI? You know, like the KKK or the New Black Panther Movement.
This is not free speech.
This is throwing the first lick.

Why hate?
African Americans, Hispanics, Arabs, Asians, and any other ethnicity has been asking that question for centuries.
Where does that get us?
Does it solve the economic crisis? The environment issues? Educate more children?
The sad part about this hate movement is that when people are immersed into the hatred pot, it's no coming back.
It's like they're in a frenzy. And, they are.
This nation has been soiled long enough by hatred.
Enough already!
Recall the Russian scientist's views on a civil war America by 2010?
- Not so unlikely.
People are arming themselves with high powered guns, building shelters, and forming "underground" networks.
Hate groups are on the rise.
What's wrong? Glad you asked.
FEAR!
Thanks to many people in government, we operate our government from fear. The past 8 years have been a testament to some of the worse years of fear on record.
Bush messed up our system on many layers.
The lies that have been laid in the name of freedom are what we're paying for now.
Yes, right-wingers, you know that you set this nation up to fail. America cannot stand on the backs of weak-mindedness.
President Obama is preaching unity, but this nation (in all of its glory) is deeply rooted in the shame of slavery, of owning people, of having its way with people (anywhere), of shaming our founders!
Tag Line: The truth will prevvail.
Under the guise of tea bagging, Fox News has found a way to manage delivering subliminal messages of hatred.
The signs that people are carrying invoke racism.
The tea parties are NOT innocent and should not be taken lightly.
Yes, most people are tired of being broke.
But, Fox News is doing something else.
The network is druming up "how it used to be."
Remember: During the original tea party, slavery was still the law.
If the levee breaches weren't enough - and the formaldehyde filled trailers weren't enough, and the overwhelming corruption weren't enough -
Just finish off the killing job with poisonous drywall from China!
People's houses have been rebuilt with - yes - deadly materials!
Just when you thought it couldn't get any worse.
Aren't we supposed to be the smartest group on the planet.
Yet, we continue making huge blunders.
Dr. Ivor Heerden (a whistle blower) recently resigned from Louisiana State University (LSU) under pressure from the State. It appears that LSU is more worried about receiving federal funds than saving people's lives. It also appears that the school's Vice Chancellors advised Heerden to stop going to the media - or else.

A nice little Bush connection is also mentioned in this article.
