They are all normalizing the republican f*cktardery aka governance, back to Bush the lesser years where unethical, immoral and conflicting business issues that would normally sink the careers of any democrat are now deemed unimportant and not worthy of investigations. <br /><br />The only difference now is that they are left debating the inconsistent brain fart tweets of a rumored coke-addled wanna-be autocrat. And yet somehow they always manage to find two or three white male 'patriotic goons' with military experience who shout over the designated liberal, usually a female strategist from one of Hillary Clinton's two losing presidential campaigns.R Whitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14150488267916316478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11363027.post-15969736791312317812016-12-29T11:58:36.522-06:002016-12-29T11:58:36.522-06:00Since Christmas I have watched the media shift bac...Since Christmas I have watched the media shift back into Bush years ca. 2002 mode. <br /><br />The only new thing is there are less liberals allowed near a camera than 10+ years ago and 140 character bumper sticker tweets are as valid as to multi-year study done with actual data. <br /><br /> trgahanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04718897286384990852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11363027.post-78482466400517200922016-12-29T10:56:21.195-06:002016-12-29T10:56:21.195-06:00And until the Beltway Both Siderist club is knocke...<i>And until the Beltway Both Siderist club is knocked down and cast out forever, all of this will happen again.</i><br /><br />The problem is that all the necessary preconditions for the banishment of Both Siderism from our media (restoring the Fairness Doctrine, getting money out of politics, etc.) are things that cannot themselves happen until the Both Siderists are banished from our media.<br /><br />"Until they become conscious they will never rebel, and until they have rebelled they cannot become conscious." -- Winston Smith in his diary<br /><br />After failure to synchronize watches doomed the Bay of Pigs invasion, but before he became shot through the forehead from behind, JFK said, "Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable." I sometimes wonder whether those people have made violent revolution just as impossible as the peaceful sort, and what that means for the civilized world and the United States.Neo Tuxedohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15455041641080873400noreply@blogger.com
