Are you telling me your compatriots haven't been harping on these exact issues since January 19th, 2009?

Would you like me to post some of those links that have been thrown out here on CD from the right wing, conservative tea party republican?

No we can't all agree because it is your choice to believe that some sites are less credible and the choice of others to believe that those very same sites are more credible.

You cannot control what someone else posts as long as it it is not against TOS.
Personally I think all sites like that are "wingnut" sites but I dislike politics.

Please show us the 'credible sources" that backs this up.

Or, are you just pulling things out of your head and treating them like fact, you know, partisan junk, just like what this topic is about.

If they out and out lie and make stuff up. See: Mother jones, breitbart, and a few others.

Does Mother Jones and Breitbart occasionally tell the truth? Absolutely! But their massive number of lies and deceptions get in the way.

Don't forget that Fox considers their news shows 'entertainment', NOT news.

Easy. If the source doesn't fit someone's slant, it's a biased hack job. See how easy that was?

Yeah, let's get all our distorted news from NBC. They are a real legitimate source nowadays.

Besides, there's endless entertainment if you read the other stories in many of the links. You'll find out that Obama was really born in Kenya and is a "Manchurian Candidate" whose only function is to destroy the entire nation by providing an avenue for healthcare for all.

Where would one go to find out that all liberals are on welfare and food stamps but have all graduated from some liberal college with advanced degrees?

Where would one find out that all conservative republicans deserve SS and Medicare and every liberal is on Obamacare and food stamps and is a lazy leech, sucking off the teat of government, while conservatives earned theirs?

How would anyone know that Blacks, Hispanics and Indians are the major problems in this country and are on a mission to destroy the white society?

How would anyone know that only conservative republicans have ever fought and died for our country, while all liberals have stayed home collecting welfare and getting Cheetos all over their sofa, watching daytime soaps?

How would one know all know this, if not for the honest, unbiased, conservative, whacko sites, run out of a concrete bunker in someone's back yard and having it's roots in The John Birch Society and Mein Kampf??
I like reading Infowars just for the comedic value.
