Bro…do you listen to anything other than conservative media? Try it for two days. I performed an experiment. I listened to NPR in the mornings and talk radio in the evenings. It took me about two days to realize how outrageous and inflammatory conservative media truly was. No wonder I was angry all the time and my blood pressure was through the roof. I will never go back to letting conservative media slap me around like some dog until I’m in a fighting frenzy so they can turn me loose against liberals.
Yep. That’s a separate issue, but you’re right on that one. I read an article that said that Hillary only has a 5% chance of winning the nomination. She’s a power mad loony. Obama might be as liberal as the day is long….but he’s sincere. Hillary’s just after power. If she had any brains or respect for the political process she’d bow out gracefully.
Chris, I have listened to NPR. All I get is the very clear understanding that that bunch of psudo-intelectuals really do believe they are smarter than the rest of us. I dont like being pandered to. I dont like being talked to like I'm a three year old that just doesnt know anybetter.
Ive listened to Keith Oberman. Now here is an enlightened individual. all I hear when his lips start slapping is blah blah blah. When that dude was born, they injected his head with the detridus of a dead dodo bird and called it brains! talk about an idiot.
At least when Rush says something over the top you know he is trying to be funny. Oberman actully thinks he is making a contribution.
Have I heard non-conservitive media? of course. and it reinforces my belief that these people are paternalistic socialists that really believe they can direct my life better than me.
It also reinforces my beleif that the people that fall for their insanity do so because they really think the governemnt owes them and they have abdicated all responsiblility for themselves!

That is unless one's politics tends to be more liberal. Populism, according to Webster's dictionary, is a political philosophy directed to the needs of the common people and advocating a more equitable distribution of wealth and power. Our elected officials are elected to represent…the people. Here’s a fundamental difference I have seen between political conservatives and liberals; conservatives seem to think that we elect leaders to lead in spite of the people’s will…liberals tend to think that we elect leaders to serve the will of the people. And right now…the Republicans aren’t as populist as you think. A narrow, but growing, majority of the people don’t trust them on issues such as the economy, health care, social security, domestic infrastructure, or even social values. Tell me….how do the Republicans expect to regain power if they are not populist and the people that pay them to represent their interests aren’t pleased with the job they commit to doing? I’d argue that the Republicans are in the hot seat because they’re not populist enough. Their disassociated with the common man and are only focused on the interests of the ultra wealthy…Republican policies are even hurting small business owners. Unless you’re a massive corporation, the Republican policies will stampede you. Most business owners I know are scratching their heads because the Republicans promised to be the pro-business party. Well….small businesses are taking a beating in Ohio and many other areas that were once prosperous. It makes no sense. Oh…but oil companies, military contractors, weapons developers, and insurance companies are reporting record profits. Even a rising number of investors are worried. Bro…the only thing the Republicans have that MIGHT be a something the people trust them to do is national defense. And an increasing number of Americans are starting to see how wreckless they’ve been on this issue too.
Get ready…in November the people will speak at the ballot box. I predict that Obama will decisively defeat McCain.
Chris, you have no clue. none what so ever.
the Republicans have been acting like populists for most of GWBs presidency. It is the thing that has gotten them in trouble. They arent being conservitives.
Conservitives beleive the best government is the least government. YOU people believe that the governemnet owes you something and demand the governemnt take care of you from cradle to grave.
It is about as unAmerican as borchst and Lennin. (or Lennin and Lennon)
populism is about giving the masses what they wont and making them dependant on the government teat. it is a violation of human rights as far as I am concerned.
Chris, I understand you just dont get where I am coming from. but what you fail to see is that there are dozens following this thread that dont get where YOU are coming from.

Yes, but we are hoping you will fix your broken record. Reading your writings is like reliving the 1972 election with George McGovern. You would have been right at home with him.

Such idealism in our justice system. Mostly uninformed. Today few get a trial by jury regarding the issues above. Most are pressured into plea bargains.
Yeah, that's wrong. I don't believe in plea bargains. That gives them an option to get out sooner for the crime they committed.
But you know, if I were them, I'd take the plea bargain too, knowing what I was facing!!!

Hey...this wind is wild and unpredictable...such are they are born of the Spirit.
However, there's a steady stream of "hot air" rising from your direction.

Beware when men flatter you. Especially right wing media. All the deception cloaked in flag waving. "You're a great 'merican!" Yeah....uh huh.
I think insecure people don't like NPR because the individuals truly are intelligent and trying to share information you most likely don't know...if you only listen to television news or talk radio.
