A proposition:

[Addy]

Lol yourself..


Al Qaeda chieftain Osama Bin Laden was never shy about the objectives of his jihad against the United States. High on that list was the destruction of the U.S. economy which, he declared in 2004, would be accomplished by "bleeding America to the point of bankruptcy." But even with the economic shock after 9/11, the cost of two wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, and the oceans of red ink from the estimated $3 trillion cost to the United States by 2011 to crush his Al Qaeda movement, Bin Laden ultimately failed in quest to permanently undermine the American economy.

But with the United States now on the brink of a sovereign default, House Speaker John Boehner and his radical Republican extremists may succeed where Osama Bin Laden did not.

Back in January 2011, the newly anointed Speaker darkly warned Americans what failure to raise the U.S. debt ceiling, as the nation had routinely done 40 times since 1980, would mean. Holding the debt ceiling hostage and preventing the federal government from paying the bills it had already incurred, Boehner explained:
"That would be a financial disaster, not only for our country but for the worldwide economy."

Nothing amazes me more than the fact that a rather large segment of liberals get their news from comedians.

It really says something about the state of the populous.

Just as it amazes me that most of the repubs tune in to Looney Tunes to get theirs.. a.k.a Fox!

You poor soul thinking everyone is corrupt, narcissistic and out to get you. I love my representatives ...thank god I don't have your doom and gloom and think everyone is part of some plots that only help them. How sad to live the way you do...so filled with negativity and paranoia,

Actually, it's the other way around. I keep hoping that millions of my fellow Americans might come to their senses and realize that they're being screwed by their representatives.,..

It's YOU who is all doom and gloom about the roughly 50% who happen to disagree with your agenda. How sad to live the way you do... so filled with negativity and paranoia...

 

[Colorforms]

Do you love them for the color of their skin or their actual abilities and integrity?

What kind of a question is that? Don’t you know it’s racist to question the integrity and abilities of a black person?

Sensitivity training for you, young man.

Hilarious...

“The fact that we are here today to debate raising America’s debt limit is a sign of leadership failure. It is a sign that the U.S. government can’t pay its own bills. ... I therefore intend to oppose the effort to increase America’s debt limit.”

Oh, well obviously Jon Stewart is the pinnacle of journalistic integrity in liberal circles. “He attacks both sides..sometimes…that’s good enough for me”.

Yes I agree, he does attack both sides.. good to see an open mind regarding journalism of any type..

I prefer facts and objectivity myself. But, whatever keeps your attention, I guess.

 

[Addy]

Facts and objectivity should be the goal of all journalists -- not the smears/shock value only tabloids to grab the audiences..

 

[Renee]

Wow. As soon as someone sprouts the words "The Party of No", I stop listening. It's nothing but a talking point.

And as soon as so keen says democrats are "hopeless. I stop. You're hopeless. I don't think you ever made a suggestion other than to criticize

 

[Barbella]

And as soon as so keen says democrats are "hopeless. I stop. You're hopeless. I don't think you ever made a suggestion other than to criticize

Really? Is that right?

American citizens, patriots, should be able to agree to disagree, and try to work out a compromise for the good of the Nation and its people, on most issues. As long as BOTH sides are willing, that is. Life is not a "my-way-or-the-highway" path... no one can "have it all".

... it is my firm belief that We, The People, need to "stick together" in order to survive with some semblance of dignity and freedom.

Also... I never said "democrats are hopeless". What I said was: Die-hard lefties are completely hopeless.

Huge difference there, but one that you're eager to eradicate in order to prove some hateful, disgusting point, right? As always...

Stewart is a journalist?

No, he doesn't make that claim...

Jon Stewart (born Jonathan Stuart Leibowitz; November 28, 1962)[5] is an American political satirist, writer, director, television host, actor, media critic, and stand-up comedian. He is the host of The Daily Show, a satirical news program that airs on Comedy Central.

Then why did you use the term in reference to him?

Do liberals see him as having the same journalistic integrity as, say, Shepard Smith?

Yes.. and he later apologized for it..

As everyone who has been here a while knows, I believe (nah, I KNOW) that 99.9% of politicians are crooked, narcissistic, selfish and self centered [Unwelcome language removed] who don't care about anything or anyone other than themselves. Sure I attack democrats, and especially liberals... because, first of all, I disagree with many of their opinions and views, but mainly because of their insistence on worshipping their government and their "leaders" to the point of bile-inducing nausea.

The point? We, The People, will continue to lose as long as we keep fighting each other, instead of fighting those who foster our division for their own gains. Do you not see how the animosity they encourage benefits THEM, and hurts US? Do you not understand how the political "elite" operate, and how cynically self-serving the whole lot of them is?

American citizens, patriots, should be able to agree to disagree, and try to work out a compromise for the good of the Nation and its people, on most issues. As long as BOTH sides are willing, that is. Life is not a "my-way-or-the-highway" path... no one can "have it all".

This, of course, is a "test". Your responses will immediately prove your patriotism, as well as your intelligence and common sense.,.

One, two, three..... GO!



PS... I've actually tried this a couple of times in the past, only to get shot down every time... I don't know why I keep doing this. However... it is my firm belief that We, The People, need to "stick together" in order to survive with some semblance of dignity and freedom. Unfortunately, we certainly don't seem to be doing that....

I think the majority of politicians are good people. Than can become corrupted but for the most part they are good.

He has never been identified as being a journalist only well known for his political satire..
I don't about Shepard Smith's credentials, but Fox has been to court to declare themselves as a non news source..

 

[Caroljo]

Yes.. and he later apologized for it..

Did he mean it? I never saw the apology....did that happen AFTER he found he needed to raise it himself?
