The guy who's scared by Muslims is calling someone else fascist? Who's scared of Muslims? I have 6 Muslim friends. You should be a politian for making things up. Also, read the defination of facist so you can understand what it means. Someone else must have posted this: http://www.marlinsbaseball.com/forums/topic/88621-muslim-demographics-scary/ You are the master of putting words in people's mouths! Never have I been scared of Muslims. It was an interesting video full of facts. Something you never seem to do is show facts.

Dude, there were no really significant numbers at any of the last tea-parties. The BIGGEST of them had maybe 1,000. That's nothing. Compared to any other protest, it's a failure. The one thing they had going for them a few months ago was FOX News spending all day covering these things because basically every person at those tea parties is a FOX News viewer. They were hyping it up beyond belief, and it was really hilarious. The other problem is, the libertarians who started this thing have had their little protests hijacked by the 9/11 truthers, the Obama birth certificate nutjobs, genuine racists, bigots, anti-semites, and other far right-wing conspiracy theorists. Basically the best way to sum this whole thing up, as zombones said earlier, is that there are a bunch of scared white people afraid that the blacks and browns are taking over. The same thing happened in the 1960s and 1970s during the Civil Rights/anti-Vietnam War protests. Typical racist remark. This has nothing to do with the color of his skin or party. Both parties are the same anyway. This has everything to do with spending the MOST money in the history of the Earth in 5 months by a man who has NEVER accomplished anything his entire life. He's never run a payroll or company. He didn't even pay for his schooling. It's crooked. Obama's approval rating will continue to drop and yes you may be the last of the sheep to awaken. Or maybe you are right, Americans should ALL become poor and lose their jobs so that the government can become a tyrany and take over every facet of our lives. 1) transportation 2) communication & media 3) how much we earn 4) all business 5) banks 6) morgages and housing 7) weapons 8) food These 5 months of spending are just the tip of the iceberg. We are decling as a country 10x of what we did under Bush. Wait until 4 years is over. It's people like you who are in denile. All it takes is one HUGE event to occur and this country is OVER. For example, the banking system collapses one day. Everyone trys to go to the store and buy products but paper money is no longer valid. Therefore, looting and stealing occurs. However, people can not buy guns and weapons to protect themselves because the government has banned them. Police patrol the streets and gather up people to take them to "safety". However, it is a camp. Every government is crooked. You see what's happening in Iran now will the people rioting due to corruption? The same will happen to the U.S. by next year if Obama keeps spending, controlling, and taxing. If you think this is far-feached then God Bless you!

haha bobbob calling me dumb instead of showing me facts or economists opinions? NO WAY! Resorting to name calling because you are in the minority in favoring TRILLIONS of spending during a recession is not the way to communicate. To spend more than the United States has EVER in the history of the United States in just 5 months in office is just mind blowing to me. Things are getting worse, not better. In case you haven't noticed. But show me some facts about why things are getting better instead of saying I'm dumb. hahaha!

You can not artificially kick start an economy by bailing out companies, taking over companies, taking over health care so small business owners can not survive. This is proven by nearly every economist. Artifically creating money OUT of thin air the worst thing the Federal Reserve can do. Every single person knows this. The Fed is intelligent and they know this. They have an agenda and that is appartent to most people (hence the 237 Tea Parties and counting...). So you believe the government should control health care, the auto industry, and banks? You believe and want the government to TELL YOU how much money you are ALLOWED to make? And tax you 25% on it? Bye bye America. Bye bye Capitalism. Hello, Fascism.

How does anyone explain this? If a superior, strong, free country's people are struggling to get by (food, jobs, taxes, debt).....how does the government GET STRONGER? As we suffer? In a great country/democracy....if the people suffer, so does the government. If the people prosper, so the government. Here were have millions of people who are over-taxed and trying to get by/provide for their families meanwhile the government STRENGTHENS, takes over the auto industry, banks, continues to tax us instead of helping us, and continues to elimate small business's (70% of jobs in America). This is called a dictatorship. And it's coming....no way should the government get stronger as the people weaken. It doesn't make sense! Use your common sense.

You are rational? I am not? I am not freaking out like you cussing on this website. I'm having a conversation with you. These are facts: 1) THE FEDERAL RESERVE IS A PRIVATE ENTERPRISE. 2) Obama continues to get the Fed. more and more power. These are my opinions based on facts: 1) The elitists RUN America. 2) Obama does not make these all of these important decisions by himself.

Again you don't get the point bobbob. You just get angry because all of this is over your head. While the unemployment rate is nearing 10% (9.4%), and Americans are struggling to get by, the government is SPENDING at obsene rates never seen in the history of mankind. I'm sorry man but why does the government continue to print money and deflate the dollar? 60 mil? 100 mil? For cyber attacks? Give me a break. You can cuss all you want instead of having an intelligent conversation but this is pointless. A revolt will happen soon enough when all this continues. We have the government increasing tolls! We have the government spending money for RED LIGHT RUNNER CAMERAS! During a recession! ALL OF THESE THINGS ARE NOT NEEDED! The only thing needed are private business's to be created again. Not the government taking everything over and spending, spending, spending. How do you justify Barack Obama spending more money in 5 months than 203 YEARS of Presidents combined?????? During a recession????? Please answer that question and I'll leave forever......You can't answer it. It's called control.

You didn't answer my question at all. I hate you... Sure I did answer your question. You hate me? Why because you can't face the facts that the conglomerates and elitists run this country and the World? They run the banking system, the federal reserve, and the media. Are you too naive to believe this? Money rules the World. Money is the root of all evil. Major sports are tainted. Referees are in jail. Elections are rigged. Corporate leaders steal. Congressmen don't pay their taxes. Look at the World we live in. You shouldn't hate me. You should become informed and educated instead of being a sheep and watching American Idol or Desperate Housewives on ABC (a channel showing things like New World Order 2012 and Health Care Nationalization). You will be better suited in the long run when everything gets REALLY bad.

Here's a great article for bobbob....the media can brainwash people into beliving anything. Have you ever heard of soldiers coming home from Iraq and other wars saying it's nothing like it truly is on TV? I have heard many.... What's Wrong With This Picture? By Mark Crispin Miller This article appeared in the January 7, 2002 edition of The Nation. December 20, 2001 For all their economic clout and cultural sway, the ten great multinationals profiled in our latest chart--AOL Time Warner, Disney, General Electric, News Corporation, Viacom, Vivendi, Sony, Bertelsmann, AT&T and Liberty Media--rule the cosmos only at the moment. The media cartel that keeps us fully entertained and permanently half-informed is always growing here and shriveling there, with certain of its members bulking up while others slowly fall apart or get digested whole. But while the players tend to come and go--always with a few exceptions--the overall Leviathan itself keeps getting bigger, louder, brighter, forever taking up more time and space, in every street, in countless homes, in every other head. The rise of the cartel has been a long time coming (and it still has some way to go). It represents the grand convergence of the previously disparate US culture industries--many of them vertically monopolized already--into one global superindustry providing most of our imaginary "content." The movie business had been largely dominated by the major studios in Hollywood; TV, like radio before it, by the triune axis of the networks headquartered in New York; magazines, primarily by Henry Luce (with many independent others on the scene); and music, from the 1960s, mostly by the major record labels. Now all those separate fields are one, the whole terrain divided up among the giants--which, in league with Barnes & Noble, Borders and the big distributors, also control the book business. (Even with its leading houses, book publishing was once a cottage industry at both the editorial and retail levels.) For all the democratic promise of the Internet, moreover, much of cyberspace has now been occupied, its erstwhile wildernesses swiftly paved and lighted over by the same colossi. The only industry not yet absorbed into this new world order is the newsprint sector of the Fourth Estate--a business that was heavily shadowed to begin with by the likes of Hearst and other, regional grandees, flush with the ill-gotten gains of oil, mining and utilities--and such absorption is, as we shall see, about to happen. Thus what we have today is not a problem wholly new in kind but rather the disastrous upshot of an evolutionary process whereby that old problem has become considerably larger--and that great quantitative change, with just a few huge players now co-directing all the nation's media, has brought about enormous qualitative changes. For one thing, the cartel's rise has made extremely rare the sort of marvelous exception that has always popped up, unexpectedly, to startle and revivify the culture--the genuine independents among record labels, radio stations, movie theaters, newspapers, book publishers and so on. Those that don't fail nowadays are so remarkable that they inspire not emulation but amazement. Otherwise, the monoculture, endlessly and noisily triumphant, offers, by and large, a lot of nothing, whether packaged as "the news" or "entertainment." Of all the cartel's dangerous consequences for American society and culture, the worst is its corrosive influence on journalism. Under AOL Time Warner, GE, Viacom et al., the news is, with a few exceptions, yet another version of the entertainment that the cartel also vends nonstop. This is also nothing new--consider the newsreels of yesteryear--but the gigantic scale and thoroughness of the corporate concentration has made a world of difference, and so has made this world a very different place. Let us start to grasp the situation by comparing this new centerfold with our first outline of the National Entertainment State, published in the spring of 1996. Back then, the national TV news appeared to be a tidy tetrarchy: two network news divisions owned by large appliance makers/weapons manufacturers (CBS by Westinghouse, NBC by General Electric), and the other two bought lately by the nation's top purveyors of Big Fun (ABC by Disney, CNN by Time Warner). Cable was still relatively immature, so that, of its many enterprises, only CNN competed with the broadcast networks' short-staffed newsrooms; and its buccaneering founder, Ted Turner, still seemed to call the shots from his new aerie at Time Warner headquarters. Today the telejournalistic firmament includes the meteoric Fox News Channel, as well as twenty-six television stations owned outright by Rupert Murdoch's News Corporation (which holds majority ownership in a further seven). Although ultimately thwarted in his bid to buy DirecTV and thereby dominate the US satellite television market, Murdoch wields a pervasive influence on the news--and not just in New York, where he has two TV stations, a major daily (the faltering New York Post) and the Fox News Channel, whose inexhaustible platoons of shouting heads attracts a fierce plurality of cable-viewers. Meanwhile, Time Warner has now merged with AOL--so as to own the cyberworks through which to market its floodtide of movies, ball games, TV shows, rock videos, cartoons, standup routines and (not least) bits from CNN, CNN Headline News, CNNfn (devised to counter GE's CNBC) and CNN/Sports Illustrated (a would-be rival to Disney's ESPN franchise). While busily cloning CNN, the parent company has also taken quiet steps to make it more like Fox, with Walter Isaacson, the new head honcho, even visiting the Capitol to seek advice from certain rightist pols on how, presumably, to make the network even shallower and more obnoxious. (He also courted Rush Himself.) All this has occurred since the abrupt defenestration of Ted Turner, who now belatedly laments the overconcentration of the cable business: "It's sad we're losing so much diversity of thought," he confesses, sounding vaguely like a writer for this magazine. Whereas five years ago the clueless Westinghouse owned CBS, today the network is a property of the voracious Viacom--matchless cable occupier (UPN, MTV, MTV2, VH1, Nickelodeon, the Movie Channel, TNN, CMT, BET, 50 percent of Comedy Central, etc.), radio colossus (its Infinity Broadcasting--home to Howard Stern and Don Imus--owns 184 stations), movie titan (Paramount Pictures), copious publisher (Simon & Schuster, Free Press, Scribner), a big deal on the web and one of the largest US outdoor advertising firms. Under Viacom, CBS News has been obliged to help sell Viacom's product--in 2000, for example, devoting epic stretches of The Early Show to what lately happened on Survivor (CBS). Of course, such synergistic bilge is commonplace, as is the tendency to dummy up on any topic that the parent company (or any of its advertisers) might want stifled. These journalistic sins have been as frequent under "longtime" owners Disney and GE as under Viacom and Fox [see Janine Jaquet, "The Sins of Synergy," page 20]. They may also abound beneath Vivendi, whose recent purchase of the film and TV units of USA Networks and new stake in the satellite TV giant EchoStar--moves too recent for inclusion in our chart--could soon mean lots of oblique self-promotion on USAM News, in L'Express and L'Expansion, and through whatever other news-machines the parent buys. Such is the telejournalistic landscape at the moment--and soon it will mutate again, if Bush's FCC delivers for its giant clients. On September 13, when the minds of the American people were on something else, the commission's GOP majority voted to "review" the last few rules preventing perfect oligopoly. They thus prepared the ground for allowing a single outfit to own both a daily paper and a TV station in the same market--an advantage that was outlawed in 1975. (Even then, pre-existing cases of such ownership were grandfathered in, and any would-be owner could get that rule waived.) That furtive FCC "review" also portended the elimination of the cap on the percentage of US households that a single owner might reach through its TV stations. Since the passage of the Telecommunications Act of 1996, the limit had been 35 percent. Although that most indulgent bill was dictated by the media giants themselves, its restrictions are too heavy for this FCC, whose chairman, Michael Powell, has called regulation per se "the oppressor." And so, unless there's some effective opposition, the several-headed vendor that now sells us nearly all our movies, TV, radio, magazines, books, music and web services will soon be selling us our daily papers, too--for the major dailies have, collectively, been lobbying energetically for that big waiver, which stands to make their owners even richer (an expectation that has no doubt had a sweetening effect on coverage of the Bush Administration). Thus the largest US newspaper conglomerates--the New York Times, the Washington Post, Gannett, Knight-Ridder and the Tribune Co.--will soon be formal partners with, say, GE, Murdoch, Disney and/or AT&T; and then the lesser nationwide chains (and the last few independents) will be ingested, too, going the way of most US radio stations. America's cities could turn into informational "company towns," with one behemoth owning all the local print organs--daily paper(s), alternative weekly, city magazine--as well as the TV and radio stations, the multiplexes and the cable system. (Recently a federal appeals court told the FCC to drop its rule preventing any one company from serving more than 30 percent of US cable subscribers; and in December, the Supreme Court refused to hear the case.) While such a setup may make economic sense, as anticompetitive arrangements tend to do, it has no place in a democracy, where the people have to know more than their masters want to tell them. That imperative demands reaffirmation at this risky moment, when much of what the media cartel purveys to us is propaganda, commercial or political, while no one in authority makes mention of "the public interest"--except to laugh it off. "I have no idea," Powell cheerily replied at his first press conference as chairman, when asked for his own definition of that crucial concept. "It's an empty vessel in which people pour in whatever their preconceived views or biases are." Such blithe obtuseness has marked all his public musings on the subject. In a speech before the American Bar Association in April 1998, Powell offered an ironic little riff about how thoroughly he doesn't get it: "The night after I was sworn in [as a commissioner], I waited for a visit from the angel of the public interest. I waited all night, but she did not come." On the other hand, Powell has never sounded glib about his sacred obligation to the corporate interest. Of his decision to move forward with the FCC vote just two days after 9/11, Powell spoke as if that sneaky move had been a gesture in the spirit of Patrick Henry: "The flame of the American ideal may flicker, but it will never be extinguished. We will do our small part and press on with our business, solemnly, but resolutely." Certainly the FCC has never been a democratic force, whichever party has been dominant. Bill Clinton championed the disastrous Telecom Act of 1996 and otherwise did almost nothing to impede the drift toward oligopoly. (As Newsweek reported in 2000, Al Gore was Rupert Murdoch's personal choice for President. The mogul apparently sensed that Gore would happily play ball with him, and also thought--correctly--that the Democrat would win.) What is unique to Michael Powell, however, is the showy superciliousness with which he treats his civic obligation to address the needs of people other than the very rich. That spirit has shone forth many times--as when the chairman genially compared the "digital divide" between the information haves and have-nots to a "Mercedes divide" between the lucky few who can afford great cars and those (like him) who can't. In the intensity of his pro-business bias, Powell recalls Mark Fowler, head of Reagan's FCC, who famously denied his social obligations by asserting that TV is merely "an appliance," "a toaster with pictures." And yet such Reaganite bons mots, fraught with the anti-Communist fanaticism of the late cold war, evinced a deadly earnestness that's less apparent in General Powell's son. He is a blithe, postmodern sort of ideologue, attuned to the complacent smirk of Bush the Younger--and, of course, just perfect for the cool and snickering culture of TV. Although such flippancies are hard to take, they're also easy to refute, for there is no rationale for such an attitude. Take "the public interest"--an ideal that really isn't hard to understand. A media system that enlightens us, that tells us everything we need to know pertaining to our lives and liberty and happiness, would be a system dedicated to the public interest. Such a system would not be controlled by a cartel of giant corporations, because those entities are ultimately hostile to the welfare of the people. Whereas we need to know the truth about such corporations, they often have an interest in suppressing it (as do their advertisers). And while it takes much time and money to find out the truth, the parent companies prefer to cut the necessary costs of journalism, much preferring the sort of lurid fare that can drive endless hours of agitated jabbering. (Prior to 9/11, it was Monica, then Survivor and Chandra Levy, whereas, since the fatal day, we have had mostly anthrax, plus much heroic footage from the Pentagon.) The cartel's favored audience, moreover, is that stratum of the population most desirable to advertisers--which has meant the media's complete abandonment of working people and the poor. And while the press must help protect us against those who would abuse the powers of government, the oligopoly is far too cozy with the White House and the Pentagon, whose faults, and crimes, it is unwilling to expose. The media's big bosses want big favors from the state, while the reporters are afraid to risk annoying their best sources. Because of such politeness (and, of course, the current panic in the air), the US coverage of this government is just a bit more edifying than the local newscasts in Riyadh. Against the daily combination of those corporate tendencies--conflict of interest, endless cutbacks, endless trivial pursuits, class bias, deference to the king and all his men--the public interest doesn't stand a chance. Despite the stubborn fiction of their "liberal" prejudice, the corporate media have helped deliver a stupendous one-two punch to this democracy. (That double whammy followed their uncritical participation in the long, irrelevant jihad against those moderate Republicans, the Clintons.) Last year, they helped subvert the presidential race, first by prematurely calling it for Bush, regardless of the vote--a move begun by Fox, then seconded by NBC, at the personal insistence of Jack Welch, CEO of General Electric. Since the coup, the corporate media have hidden or misrepresented the true story of the theft of that election. And having justified Bush/Cheney's coup, the media continue to betray American democracy. Media devoted to the public interest would investigate the poor performance by the CIA, the FBI, the FAA and the CDC, so that those agencies might be improved for our protection--but the news teams (just like Congress) haven't bothered to look into it. So, too, in the public interest, should the media report on all the current threats to our security--including those far-rightists targeting abortion clinics and, apparently, conducting bioterrorism; but the telejournalists are unconcerned (just like John Ashcroft). So should the media highlight, not play down, this government's attack on civil liberties--the mass detentions, secret evidence, increased surveillance, suspension of attorney-client privilege, the encouragements to spy, the warnings not to disagree, the censored images, sequestered public papers, unexpected visits from the Secret Service and so on. And so should the media not parrot what the Pentagon says about the current war, because such prettified accounts make us complacent and preserve us in our fatal ignorance of what people really think of us--and why--beyond our borders. And there's much more--about the stunning exploitation of the tragedy, especially by the Republicans; about the links between the Bush and the bin Laden families; about the ongoing shenanigans in Florida--that the media would let the people know, if they were not (like Michael Powell) indifferent to the public interest. In short, the news divisions of the media cartel appear to work against the public interest--and for their parent companies, their advertisers and the Bush Administration. The situation is completely un-American. It is the purpose of the press to help us run the state, and not the other way around. As citizens of a democracy, we have the right and obligation to be well aware of what is happening, both in "the homeland" and the wider world. Without such knowledge we cannot be both secure and free. We therefore must take steps to liberate the media from oligopoly, so as to make the government our own

The global elitists run this country. There are only 5 major companies that own all of TV. Here's a chart to break it down for you bobbob... http://www.nowfoundation.org/issues/communications/tv/mediacontrol.html

"Short said the $60 million, four-year contract with US-CERT uses the so-called ethical hackers to analyze threats to the government's computer systems and develop ways to reduce vulnerabilities." So the government pulls 60 mil out to examine threats to computers? Seriously, when does this end? Where does this money come from? Why does the government tax us anyway when they can just print what they want?

What does Eckersley know? Is he a coach? Marlins have the best scouts in all of baseball- scouts and front office the Red Sox would dream about. Our success of young pitcher's are fine. Beckett, Burnett, Dempster, Looper, etc...all good careers.

And why do you believe people aren't taking Tea Parties seriously? Because it's a threat to government control. Why does the media project Tea Parties as radical? Is it radical to love the Constitution? No, it's radical that Obama doesn't understand the Constitution. I'm a strong member of the Tea Party. I'm tired of red vs. blue politics. They are all in it together- for themselves.

Call me a conspiracy theorist all you want: this is about common sense. Call me crazy, but we have nations nuking up yet we are worried about CYBER ATTACKS!?!? HAHA. During a recession the government hires 40,000 computer hackers with your tax money! The government power trip continues as they will filter the internet soon enough.... Wanted: Computer hackers ... for hire Feds call for so-called ethical hackers to help secure government networks From YAHOO and WASHINGTON AP The Department of Homeland Security is recruiting hackers to help feds "think like the bad guy."Tech-savvy students, take heed: Computer hackers are wanted by federal authorities, but not for prosecution. Instead, the government is looking to hire so-called "white hat" hackers to secure the nation's networks. General Dynamics Information Technology put out an ad last month on behalf of the Homeland Security Department seeking someone who could "think like the bad guy." Applicants, it said, must understand hackers' tools and tactics and be able to analyze internet traffic and identify vulnerabilities in the federal systems. In the Pentagon's budget request submitted last week, Defense Secretary Robert Gates said the Pentagon will increase the number of cyber experts it can train each year from 80 to 250 by 2011. With warnings that the U.S. is ill-prepared for a cyber attack, the White House conducted a 60-day study of how the government can better manage and use technology to protect everything from the electrical grid and stock markets to tax data, airline flight systems, and nuclear launch codes. President Barack Obama appointed a former Bush administration aide, Melissa Hathaway, to head the effort, and her report was delivered April 17, the White House said. Although the country had detailed plans for floods, fires, or errant planes drifting into protected airspace, there is no similar response etched out for a major computer attack. David Powner, director of technology issues for the Government Accountability Office, told Congress last month that the U.S. has no recovery plan for a digital disaster. "We're clearly not as prepared as we should be," he said. Administration officials says the U.S. has not kept pace with technological innovations needed to protect its computer networks against emerging threats from hackers, criminals, or other nations looking for national security secrets. U.S. computer networks, including those at the Pentagon and other federal agencies, are under persistent attacks, ranging from nuisance hacking to more nefarious assaults, possibly from other nations, such as China. Industry leaders told Congress during a recent hearing that law enforcement and other protections are too outdated to fend off threats from criminals, terrorists, and foreign nations. Just last week, a former government official revealed that spies had hacked into the U.S. electric grid and left behind computer programs that would let them disrupt service. The intrusions were discovered after electric companies gave the government permission to audit their systems, said the ex-official, who was not authorized to discuss the matter and spoke on condition of anonymity. Cyber threats are also included as a key potential national security risk outlined in a classified report put together by Adm. Mike Mullen, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Pentagon officials say they spent more than $100 million in the last six months responding to and repairing damage from cyber attacks and other computer network problems. Nadia Short, vice president at General Dynamics Advanced Information Systems, said the job posting for ethical hackers fills a critical need for the government. The analysts keep constant watch on the government networks as part of a program called Einstein that was initiated by the Bush administration under the U.S. Computer Emergency Readiness Team. Short said the $60 million, four-year contract with US-CERT uses the ethical hackers to analyze threats to the government's computer systems and develop ways to reduce vulnerabilities. Faced with such cyber challenges, Obama ordered the 60-day review to examine how federal agencies manage and protect their massive amounts of data and what the government's role should be in guarding the vast networks that control the country's vital utilities and infrastructure. Over the past two months, Hathaway met with hundreds of industry leaders, Capitol Hill staff, and other experts, seeking guidance on what the federal government's role should be in protecting information networks against an attack. She sought recommendations on how officials should define and report cyber incidents and attacks; how the government should structure its cyber oversight; and how the nation can increase security without stifling innovation. A task force of technology giants, including representatives from General Dynamics, IBM, Lockheed Martin, and Hewlett-Packard Co., urged the administration to establish a White House-level official to lead cyber efforts and to develop ways to share information on problems more quickly with the private sector. The administration has struggled with the basics, such as who should control the nation's cyberspace programs. There appears to be some agreement now that the White House should coordinate the overall effort, rejecting suggestions that the National Security Agency take it on--a plan that triggered protests on Capitol Hill and from civil liberties groups worried about giving such control to spy agencies.

No, I haven't been sleeping through anything. I just find it interesting that on July 4th, there are already 237 gatherings of Tea Parties which is amazing! People are starting to find out the following: 1) Federal Reserve is corrupt. 2) Obama has spent more in 5 months than 203 years of Presidents- COMBINED! 3) Obama is not a U.S. citazen (recent poll says 51% say they want to see a real birth certificate) 4) Obama has taken control of auto- soon to be banks, internet, and health care. Call me what you will but the evidence is in front of your faces. The only reason you believe I'm crazy is because the media has you brainwashed. Americans are too ignorant to put together any intelligent thought processes anymore and mold their own conclusions. The government is creating this recession on purpose. It's evidently to any intelligent human being that you don't spend TRILLIONS of dollars to GET OUT of a recession. As Obama continues to take everything over and private business's disappear completely, his approval rating will continue to drop. No doubt in my mind that this guy WILL indeed go down as the worst President in US History. More people and sheep continue to awaken to the corruption (237 Tea Parties) but will it be too late? Or will Obama continue to SNEAK TRILLION dollar bills through Congress QUICKLY????

Obviously Hotcorner.... However, the writing is on the wall. Fear mongering will continue as the government decides the internet is no longer deemed "safe" because of trojans and viruses. Therefore, they will control it like they do the media and newspapers. Mark my words, soon enough only certain sites will be able to be viewed. Gee, why do you think the government already has control of google (the #1 powerful website) and just employed 40,000 computer hackers during a recession??? If you believe it is for safety, you are gullible.

Global Warming? Why even bring up that lie by the government. Take for instance the Founder of the Weather Channel and eminent Meteorologist John Coleman who has stated: There is no significant man made global warming. There has not been any in the past, there is none now and there is no reason to fear any in the future. The climate of Earth is changing. It has always changed. But mankind's activities have not overwhelmed or significantly modified the natural forces. Through all history, Earth has shifted between two basic climate regimes: ice ages and what paleoclimatologists call "Interglacial periods". For the past 10 thousand years the Earth has been in an interglacial period.... [where] the Earth warms up, the glaciers melt and life flourishes. Clearly from our point of view, an interglacial period is greatly preferred to the deadly rigors of an ice age. Mr. Gore and his crowd would have us believe that the activities of man have overwhelmed nature during this interglacial period and are producing an unprecedented, out of control warming. Well, it is simply not happening. Worldwide there was a significant natural warming trend in the 1980's and 1990's as a Solar cycle peaked with lots of sunspots and solar flares. That ended in 1998 and now the Sun has gone quiet with fewer and fewer Sun spots, and the global temperatures have gone into decline. Earth has cooled for almost ten straight years. So, I ask Al Gore, where's the global warming?

Zombrones, Why is it so difficult for you to have an intelligent conversation? Would you like your government held to different standards than everyone else. The government is allowed to print and spend money out of thin air, tax people more than ever, increase tolls, spend taxpayer money for red light cameras, etc.... Wake up! You don't need to go crazy. You just need to be enlightened and spread the word.

By 2014, I doubt this country will have a free internet.

Nice analysis Zombrones. Lou Pritchett is NOT a celebrity. He is one of the best business men in the world.

A REVOLUTIONARY IDEA Independence Day tea party tally explodes National organizers expect more nationwide protests on July 4 than ever -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Posted: June 15, 2009 8:40 pm Eastern By Chelsea Schilling Tea partiers rally with American flags in national show of patriotism (WND photo / Chelsea Schilling) The tea party movement is showing fresh signs of momentum as the national tally is once again exploding. Amy Kremer, national organizer for the Tea Party Patriots, told WND her organization is expecting more rallies on Independence Day weekend than were held on April 15 this year. "They are going on all across the country," Kremer said. "Last time it was on one day; this time it is all July 4 weekend. We will have more tea parties this time around than we did last time, for sure." Planning to attend an Independence Day tea party? Don't forget to order your "Don't tread on me" Gadsden flag! Buy one now at WND's online store. Tea Party Patriots is organizing more than 220 national tea parties scheduled for Independence Day weekend that will focus on the following three principles: fiscal responsibility, limited government and free market. In addition to protesting excessive government spending, Kremer said the organization will also emphasize citizen opposition to government-run health care. "The administration is ratcheting up its rhetoric on pushing through its 'health care reform,'" Kremer said. "We can have tea parties until the end of time, but we need to be effective. We're using our tea parties as a platform and an opportunity to educate people about what is going on with this and why we are opposed to government-run health care. If the government gets involved and imposes any kind of governmental health care, it is intrusive into our lives, and it will absolutely affect the free market." Tea Party Patriots held a town hall forum in Washington, D.C., Wednesday. It focused on the Obama administration's plans for government-run health care. "We're going to continue holding them throughout the country until the legislation comes to a vote on the floor of Congress," she said. "We are already starting the conversation with the town hall forums. For those who are not already looped into that conversation, the Independence Day event will be an opportunity to start that conversation." But the party won't end there. Kremer said Tea Party Patriots has organized another national protest to be held July 17. Her group is encouraging motivated citizens to meet simultaneously at every representative's and senator's office in the country at 12 p.m. EST to show their commitment to stopping Washington's health care agenda. "It's important because all of these people are concerned about this slippery slope to socialism," she said. Every day there is something the Obama administration or Congress is trying to push through to take more control over our lives." Kremer referenced Obama's recent firing of the CEO of GM and is sale of Chrysler to Fiat. "That's not America," she said. "That's not about free market and capitalism. All of these people are coming together to protect this country and the Constitution. We want to protect America and our capitalist society." Meanwhile, at a Little Rock tea party event this evening, Tom Cox, founder of the Arkansas Tea Party, is expected to declare his candidacy for the U.S. Senate.

MEDIA MATTERS Americans believe Internet news most reliable Only 1 in 200 expect newspapers to be dominant source in 2014 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Posted: June 15, 2009 9:03 pm Eastern A new poll reveals that more Americans would choose the Internet as their only news source than TV, radio and newspapers combined, and Internet reports are considered much more reliable that other mediums. It also shows only 1 in 200 people surveyed believes newspapers will be a dominant source of information in 2014. The poll by Zogby International said as broadcast newscasts continue to lose viewers and newspapers struggle to stay alive, "the Internet is by far the preferred source for information, and ? it is considered the most reliable source as well." The survey discovered 56 percent of adults nationwide would pick the Internet if they were allowed just one source for their news, while television, newspapers and radio earned the support of 41 percent ? together. Among Republicans, 56 percent would choose the Internet for their news, while among Democrats that figure was 50 percent. Seventeen percent of Democrats said they would prefer newspapers as their only news source while 5 percent of Republicans made that choice. The survey, which contacted more than 3,000 people and has a margin of error of 1.8 percent, revealed 38 percent believe news from the Internet is the most reliable, followed by television at less than half that figure ? 17 percent. Newspapers were in third at 16 percent and 13 percent chose radio. Since a full 84 percent of American adults report having Internet access, the poll "reinforces the idea that the efforts by established newspapers, television and radio outlets to push their consumers to their respective websites is working." The poll said 49 percent of all respondents said national newspaper websites were very important and 43 percent said national television websites were important to them as a key source of news. A total of 41 percent said local newspaper websites were important sources while 34 percent said local television stations were the same. "That the websites of traditional news outlets are seen by a wide margin as more important than blog sites ? most of which are repositories of opinion devoid of actual reportage ? could be seen as an encouraging development for the media at large," the report said. And forget Facebook and Twitter: Just 10 percent consider Facebook as important for news while 4 percent said the same of Twitter. Eighty-two percent said they believe five years from now the Internet will be the most dominant information course. Television was second, at 13 percent. The survey showed that only one-half of one percent ? 0.5 percent ? said they thought newspapers would be the most dominant source of news in five years. It was only a few weeks ago when WND reported its own 12th anniversary. WND began with the vision of its founders to create an Internet news source that would employ the highest standards and practices of the traditional American press in the world of the New Media. That commitment is still reflected a dozen years later in WND's mission statement: "WorldNetDaily.com Inc. is an independent news company dedicated to uncompromising journalism, seeking truth and justice and revitalizing the role of the free press as a guardian of liberty. We remain faithful to the traditional and central role of a free press in a free society ? as a light exposing wrongdoing, corruption and abuse of power. "We also seek to stimulate a free-and-open debate about the great moral and political ideas facing the world and to promote freedom and self-government by encouraging personal virtue and good character." The ambitious undertaking was inspired by founder Joseph Farah's 25-year career in the newspaper business ? a career that provided him with the opportunity to experience virtually every job one can do in that industry. In 1987, Farah got his first opportunity to serve as editor in chief of a daily newspaper in Glendale, Calif. For the next two years, he ran the News-Press and a small chain of suburban weeklies with a combined circulation of 250,000. In 1990, Farah was recruited to be editor of the historic Sacramento Union, the oldest daily west of the Mississippi and the first newspaper to hire Mark Twain ? then known as Samuel Clemens. Among its other notable alumni were Bret Harte and Herb Caen. It was during his time in northern California that Farah became fascinated with new technologies emerging in the Silicon Valley during the pre-Internet era. "My work in competitive newspaper markets had left me frustrated with the inherent inefficiency of delivery methods, the high cost of newsprint and the growing dominance of a few monopoly media corporations strangling out alternative voices," he said. "The idea of an 'electronic newspaper' ? one that could eliminate the heavy machinery and expensive supplies needed to be in the daily print world ? was increasingly exciting to me. I had seen the future of news long before the Internet came along." Inspired by the success of the DrudgeReport, the Farahs decided in the spring of 1997 the time to act had arrived. After experiments with less-ambitious websites that didn't require daily updates, WorldNetDaily was launched, without fanfare, May 4, 1997. The news site quickly emerged as one of the most popular in the world ? voted so, in fact, every week for nearly two years running between 1999 and 2001 on the independent, European-based Global100.com. Since then, WND ? as it is becoming known to its millions of unique visitors ? has broken some of the biggest, most significant and most notable investigative and enterprising stories in recent years.
