GP1 Posted February 6, 2011 Report Share Posted February 6, 2011 Article and Video Thanks to FOX News, this idiot is one of the faces of the Republican Party. The Mount Rushmore of the Republican Party used to have Abe Lincoln, Ronald Reagan, Dwight Eisenhower and Teddy Roosevelt on it. Today, it is Rush Limbaugh, Bill O'Reilly, Sarah Palin and Sean Hannity. If you are a Republican and this doesn't scare you, you are as stupid as Limbaugh, et al.

UAZipster0305 Posted February 6, 2011 Report Share Posted February 6, 2011 Downright scary, and oh surprise, the Great GP1 is right again. (No sarcasm there either.) I love how FoxNews claims to be "fair and balanced" yet has over a quarter of its air time devoted to Republican/conservative propaganda. FoxRadio is even worse with nearly 24 hours per day of this crap. I don't believe all other media is so liberally biased that such a slant is justified either. Let's be honest though, Democrats are not great either...they just have real leadership in place that aren't a bunch of talking heads. People who follow this stuff in any absolution on either side of the aisle are nothing more than sheep. I love how these guys claim to be upholding moral values through conservative politics and yet someone like Rush has been married four times...talk about protecting the sanctity of marriage. Most of them also claim to see it as their responsibility to "educate" the public on conservative issues yet are high school and college drop outs. Regardless of formal education, a truly educated person seeks out information on their own and makes up their own mind rather than having it all spoon fed to them. Every aspect of this culture fascinates and amazes me. Consider Rush Limbaugh's ~$100 million dollar per year salary. You really don't believe that LifeLock and other small companies pay enough in advertising dollars to support this behemoth, do you? What/who supports the rest of his income? Big business? I honestly don't know, but nothing would surprise me. The back and forth struggle between liberals and conservatives is only meant to distract everyone from asking deeper questions about the government, media, and big business and how they all operate together. Watch JFK or Loose Change if you have your doubts. Donald Sutherland's character in JFK says it all, and 9/11 is our generation's version of JFK.

Yep, both were open and shut cases in which radicals committed terrible acts and millions of people were hoodwinked into believing in crazy conspiracies. You must be a sheep. Baaaaaa! I bet you are way too quick to even consider such events as possible, so you immediately dismiss them without considering facts or watching the movie/documentary. If true, it is exactly this kind of mentality and attitude that would allow these things to happen. I am not saying these events happened exactly the way described by others in books/movies in any absolution. However, they are definite possibilities, and there are reasons the real truth is hidden. Single assissins and terrorists can't change parade routes, have the military stand down, have a limo of evidence immediately rebuilt, botch an autopsy, or host war games on the exact same day of the exact same scenario that is happening as part of a terrorist act. A steel and concrete building falling because of fire is completely unprecedented let alone after only "burning" for about an hour. Nor do buildings that are pancaking floors as described by the 9/11 Commission fall at free fall speed and get reduced to pure dust and conveniently short steel pillars. Why were thermal hotspots (via IR satellite) and molten steel found in the basement of the World Trade Centers found a month after the collapse? The list of such things goes on and on. Your faith and trust in people with infinite money and power staggers me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zen Posted February 7, 2011 Report Share Posted February 7, 2011 in all my time, I have rarely ever found anyone who would defend oreilly. I mean, I've heard these people exist, but I have never witnessed it. What I have seen a lot of is people taking troll bait when someone associates him with other people whom they want to vilify. Predictable. Most people cannot see the forest from the trolls. What is lost in all this is the fact that the people at the controlling strings of places like fox and other media interests willfully advance neocon agenda whist promoting lipservice to libertarian and freedom-centric ideals, which is nothing close to their goals. BTW, go greatness Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a real conservative who is desperately concerned the conservative message has been hijacked by a group of complete fools who have sixteenth century ideas about science and childish religious views (Evangelicals). I don't even know what the Republican/conservative message is anymore. It sounds more like Charlie Brown's teacher with a few key phrases like "socialism" dropped in. There is never a plan discussed...just anti-liberalism and anti-Democrat. All I believe we would get from Republicans being in charge is a larger military budget, tax breaks (particularly to the wealthy) that we can't afford, and more religion infused into government.

I don't even know why these things are issues other than they have implications for religious beliefs, which IMO have no place in politics. Same sex marriage is a universal inevitability, and the Supreme Court has ruled on abortion, so no major changes will be made to it. We have a hundred problems more important than these.

Weighing the facts, the conspiracy theories are too ridiculous to be true. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're right, because the mass murder of millions of PEOPLE isn't a pressing issue. Gay marriage though, you're right, who cares. They can sodomize each other all they want just do it behind closed doors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gay marriage though, you're right, who cares. They can sodomize each other all they want just do it behind closed doors. Innocent people get killed everyday. If we can kill thousands in the War on Terror and call it collateral damage (I have no sympathy for them BTW), why can't an abortion be described as collateral damage in a free country? I'm sure a construction worker unemployed for the past 12 months cares much more about getting a job than getting an abortion. Millions male/female couples sodomize each other every day. Don't be a closed minded fool like the idiots on FOX. People who are offended by gay marriage are the kind of people the Republican Party has created. It is an us againt them mentality even if what "they" are doing has nothing to do with you everyday life. We have a +50% divorce rate in this country....maybe the gays could do better.....the straight folks aren't doing that great of a job right now.

Dave in Green Posted February 7, 2011 Report Share Posted February 7, 2011 What a stimulating discussion of Zip sports! Yeah, who would ever guess that an Off Topic forum on a sports discussion site would be for issues off topic from sports? The extreme wing in any political party only represents extremists. Moderates, who generally represent the largest percentage of any population, are best represented by the more moderate political wings. When an extreme wing takes over a political party, it tends to push out moderates. Over the years I've been pushed out of both parties and forced over to the other depending on which one was less extreme in any given political era. After having spent earlier portions of my life as both a liberal and a conservative, I came to the conclusion years ago that neither has all the right solutions to all the world's problems. No one is worthy of getting a free perpetual key to the kingdom. I have an internal "crazy meter" that I apply equally to both major American political parties. When one party has more crazy individuals saying more crazy things than the other, I tend to vote for the party expressing the least crazy positions. Neither party is immune from periods of looniness, though people who buy into the concept of "my party right or wrong as long as I live" might not see it in their chosen party. The genius behind the U.S. system of government is checks and balances. This is the key point that protects citizens from the abuses of one wing taking over the whole system and running roughshod over those who disagree with their point of view. Each of us is imperfect, so it should come as no surprise that the political parties that represent us are filled with imperfect people with imperfect visions of what's best for us. Without a system of checks and balances, imperfect people with imperfect extreme views would be more likely to skew the system and create more serious and lasting collateral damage.
