Have you actually read this forum?

Never fails...listen to Rush, watch Beck, read WND then come here and there will be at least one thread regurgitating the message. The same comes from the left to.

Our own liberal programs are broke and near insolvency functioning now as mere Ponsi schemes in which current contributors will very likely see little, if any, return on the money involuntarily taken from their paychecks. Our national debt is being driven to exponential growth by Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid along with government employee retirement benefits. Of course it's all unsustainable in the long run, but liberals believe in these programs and are lost without them, so they will do anything to keep and expand them. And, like any good used car salesman knows instinctively to stay off the subject of price, liberals know that they cannot present tax and spend liberalism in its true form and attempt to sell it for what it really is because the cost is too great. So their approach to selling liberalism in recent years has become one of demonizing anyone who brings up the subject of cost as being uncaring and selfish. They know logic and reason are not on their side, so they avoid them at all cost preferring to attack their political opponents personally.

Bravo, Bravo....lol

That last sentence hit the nail on the head. There are a lot of personal attacks from the liberal side when debating a subject.

Ironically, the last sentence was itself a personal attack.

Not in the way liberals attack us though. The statement he made was referring to a group of people. Liberals refer to the person as an individual when they attack opposition

I stll have not read anything specific that Beck, Limbaugh, etc have lied about. What did they claim as fact that was pulled from thin air?

because liberals and even some republicans hate it when talk radio tells the truth even half the time.

they would rather have talk radio perpetuate the lies all of the time.

Because they represent the conservative viewpoint, I know that their instincts and judgment are severely flawed, and that there is nothing they could say that I'd be remotely interested in. If they're attacked, it's because more enlightened people recognize the absurdity of their rants.

So quit pretending like they matter; they don't. The Republican/Conservative ideology stinks.

In the meantime, I give President Obama an A+ on his performance as commander in chief thus far.

Watch this video for real for about 10 minutes, and then tell me if you would still give him an A+

I'm somewhat of a centrist, but I don't watch or listen to those shows. If I listen to the radio, the last thing I want to hear is a talking head. I'm even irritated by shows like "Bob and Tom"--shut up and play some d*** music!
