1,000-member secretive progressive journalist group uncovered

No, it pretty much is in a different direction of my post. Other than that, who cares? talk about Bush all you want. I would bring up Bush on this topic, but why bother when Obama has been so much more destructive? That seems to be an area that you don't want to touch.

No comment about Obama? He's the guy in office right now. He is saying he will do things if Congress won't.

I'm hugely bothered by Obama's performance, he lost me before he was president when he said, as president he would attack AQ in Pakistan with or without the Pakistani governments permission. And of course you don't care that Bush did it too, you only care when its a democrat doing it, you didn't need to emphasis that.
 
I wouldn't respect someone who's a communist but refused to say, either. I don't know any communists, but I do know a fair number of liberals. They're different than communists.

I should probably use the term "Statist", since it covers all the big government types. No reason to restrict it to just the Commies. The problem with a lot of liberals, especially these days, seems to be that they think they are just left leaning and are still in line with the beliefs that this country was founded on. But a lot of them seem to end up supporting positions (and many Statists say they are against something, but their actions prove otherwise) that are downright incompatible with our Constitution.
 
You JUST referenced the DP " Breaking News " section in a ridiculous attempt to legitimize the Huffington Post as a " Mainstream " news source.

Its a Hack left wing site and has been a hack left wing site since its inception.

Your desperate mitigations and attempts haven't changed that

Meh, you just hate them for relentlessly exposing right wing lies.

I do not know why people get so confused by this, but any one who is not an anarchist is a statist to some degree, by definition. People need to learn what these ****ing labels mean before they throw them around. Am I a commie, a socialist, a statist, a nazi...I get called all of them and none are entirely accurate.
 
Abuse it? Obama doesn't even acknowledge we have a Constitution or Bill of Rights.....

I can't even believe he got a second term (voter fraud obviously)...

I think he's at least glanced at it, since he has commented that it is "deeply flawed."

You only seem to care about a President using the military, then he sucks.

Well then, go ahead. Describe yourself. I'm a Conservative.
 
Not sure if this is going to be considered the right place to post this, but I think it is breaking news to uncover the corruption going on in the media these days....In true Journ O list form this is far more corrosive...The marriage between left wing, (possibly socialist/communist) professors in our University system to shape what we are told, and not told is the end of journalism as we knew it.

No longer is it just the facts, but pure propaganda spewing from the left. It is dangerous to a free society, somethings today's progressive seems to relish.

How is a group of left-wing journalist suddenly a threat to all the Right-Wing journalism that goes on today? I understand that Conservatives have long claimed liberal-bias in the media, but considering the thousands of journalist in the news industry, I don't see how this small group of 1,000 writers and/or new commentators can possibly be any more influential than the hundreds of Right-Wing newsletters, blogs and online news outlets not to mention the more prominent 24-Hour Conservative talk radio circuit. Seriously, I don't see what the Right sees as such a threat from the Left where journalism is concerned. Seems to me you guys have the eyes and ears of the public pretty much covered.

Of course, the question is "are they listening and heeding your warnings" or "have more people begun to tune you out"?

I showed you how Bush said the same thing. We shouldn't allow people into our WH that think that way about our constitution! Call it out when you see it ANYWHERE, not just when you see it in a democratic president. If you want to be consistent and legitimate.

Not at all, I've a laundry list of things Obama has disappointed me on. I gave you one

2, Gitmo is still open

3. PPACA

4, NSA domestic spying

5. Border security

6. Benghazi, endangering our ambassador by covertly supplying the Syrian rebels with arms from the annex there.

7. Fast and furious

8. Support of militant Islamic groups in the ME

9. Abuse of UN resolution in Libya to protect civilians, as an excuse to conduct regime change

10. Support for overthrowing the Ukrainian government

11. Predator drone program

12. Secret kill list

And that's not an exhaustive list
 
That's awesome, but why is it secret?

I'm not sure it is secret. It might just be a website or small organization for events and the like. What I saw, it contains a calendar of events, like voter registration day, youth group meeting somewhere, etc. Looks pretty small, although liberal apparently.

I'm not seeing any grand plan, there. People are free to sign up on lists or whatever. I know I was added to some lists after signing a couple of petitions.

That's not a legit information source. But even if the story is true, I don't see much there. It looks like a small organization or website or list where a calendar of events is maintained. I was put on some lists a couple of times just from signing a couple of petitions online.

This doesn't seem like any grand scheme, to me, any more than signing up for news info from Fox News, a rightwing-slanted news organization (I say that, even though I watch Fox, along with other news networks, which is why I can see it's right-slanted, even some of the supposedly straight news stories). Maybe it's more, but without further information from a legit source, it doesn't look like a big deal.
