Getting on TV and saying that only "God" knows how the tides work is a far cry from misstating the number of states in the US, just for the record.

Not good form to debase (like the first quote) others posts, then do this.

Pot, kettle.

Such as who......Beck, Limbaugh, what I know of Beck, is pretty libertarian, has encouraged people to return to faith and family, love of country has emphasized the Constitution and Blacks who were part of starting this country. Limbaugh ? Really ? I am only assuming those are who you are talking about ....they are the usual names the left obsesses about ....but the reality is there is no comparison of some one who believes in faith, family,personal responsibility and all that is good and decent to some one like olberman maddow odonnell mahre and their ilk. I know that is painful for some of you to hear but, that is just reality.........not to be too general but,that is basically the difference between Conservatism and Liberalism. Hope that answers your question.

Must be comparable to the left's fear of Palin and/or the Tea Party.

Actually ol' Kieth got a great deal. His new bosses just paid him $14 mil to keep his mouth shut and stay off the tube.

That Maddow guy has all the answers. Hmmmm, I mean, "I don't know any of the facts" and then go on about those 'facts' on camera. Now who has done that same thing?

Yeah, they could create a left slanted talk radio network and call it Air America. Oh, wait, that's been tried already and failed.

Maybe this (liberalism is dying) is happening along with the "dumbing down" of America? What is the rating of our students compared to the rest of the world? That should give you a hint.
Since most teachers are liberal, I say the "dumbing down" of America is their fault.

Nothing wrong with the Tea Party, as long as they arent promoting Palins agenda. They may have something to contribute.

Obviously that's what you're doing. Most people in my world totallyl disagree with your perspective. So what you're saying is that "most people" you know see it your way? How can you possible speak for "most people" in this country?

"Most teachers" are liberal you say? How do you know that? The dumbing down of American is not just in our educational system.....it's on the TV machine too.
