Everything else including race,sex, religion, sexuality, age, and all the rest are nothing compared to the big white elephant. We are supposed to be blind to it. This blindness should be almost second nature to every God fearing and American. That's what we are thought from childhood with so many subtle ways and sometimes overtly, as in with Fox News.
I find MSNBC and CNN the be the leaders in brainwashing. While Fox does have right wing talk shows they always have opposing views. Fox news (not talk shows) far exceeds the standards of the admittingly biased news of the left via the MAJOR media ABC NBC CNN etc.
Well, there're all brainwashing us in the end. If you are a conservative fox is the machine prescribed to you. If you are a liberal MSNBC and CNN do a better job of cleaning your brain out, while the 1% runs washes out your wallet.
EXACTLY but you appear to prefer brainwashing by the left. Read your initial post.
Yeah, Sorry. Didn't catch my mind as much as it does now.
Don't be sorrry. My beliefs are more conservative than mosts here. I was not for any of the bail outs, croonie capitalism, or a corrupt government. There are common grounds.
Nice to see we see eye to eye on this issue.....The bottom line is there is one way to make it right now. If big banks and big business got 800 billion, then the rest of America should get the same amount. Then we can call it even and start a new.........
And then who decides who gets what? Should someone that has sucked off the government teat for 3 generations get as much as a student who just spend 4 years in college trying to better themselves? Or a military vet? A small business man?
Well, the people who were sucking off the government and the people for generations got 800 billion dollars, and guess what they're back at it trying to do the same thing again. Create another collapse and get paid. So, if you ask me, if they have a right to a bailout, then by God every crackhead and every God fearing American should get a bailout. Just a perspective.
We have spent over 5 trillion on the war on poverty only to create more. It's a SCAM designed to keep people from working and voting for a certain party.
