And think about all of the Chinese and Russians who fell for the communist propaganda of their times. The media did the propaganda work for them.

How did communism turn out for them?

Where do you think all of the Nazi and Commie propaganda was shown?

In back alleys, bars and warehouses?

No - it was in their movies, news, TV/radio shows, newspapers, magazines, art and schools.

Surveys show the mainstream media overwhelming support the liberals by votes and donations that's on public record.

So how is present day any different than when the Nazis and Bolsheviks took over?

Well guess what, the German media, art, movies, celebrities, etc. portrayed Hitler who gave good speeches as a good guy too.
You're right, Obama is secretly trying to gas all the Jews and blacks and take over the world.

Non-stop comedy in here...civil wars, militias, Glenn Beck...this crap is so good it must be fattening.

Nope, it wasn't the media. There was civil war in both cases.

Oh, yeah in 1918 Imperial Russia, with its 24/7 news casts, broadband blogs boasting of the superiority of Marxism over the decrepit "capitalism" of the Czarist government was a huge influence. The same goes for rural China in 1949!

What black hole of history spawns these deep insights?

The black hole of Glen Beck and Rush Limbaugh.

Predictions that we will become a divided country , broken up into regional sectors , a collection of states with Sovereign Governments. The end of the United States as we know it...... Such may become the case if by the likes of the current posters get their wishes.
The far Right just won't give up , they keep telling their story , even , when no one will listen. Black is white , and white is black , the same old crap we have been listening to for the last failed eight years. Bush will go down in history as the worst president we have ever had , admit it , and stand aside , its over.... The best we can hope for now , is Obama has enough confidence of the people to kick start a new beginning. I am not sure anyone man can do that , it , may be too late. The neo Cons may have won , but in the end , we all loose , even them.... All thats needed to complete the plan of world dominance , is for China to form a new strong alliance with another world power. World War Three , will be won over economics , not guns or Nukes.

Here's what I want to know ...

... if out of control spending by Bush and the Democrat Congress was bad, and it was

... then why do you think colossal scale spending by Obama is good?

There's a big disconnect in your logic here - please educate me.

Because the spending is on things that they think are important now.
Sorry, couldn't resist

You could just sit and listen to the CBS coverage for their view, but now we are going to have to read the same drivel from those you encourage.

I am not ripping you buddy, but you know that nothing good or new is going to come of this right?
