Calling members of the press "the enemy", is not name-calling, it's fascism. And the MSM is definitely not progressive. They're corporate owned and those corporations are run by conservative CEO's.Again, there is a difference between name calling with the press and suppressing it. The press used to be proudly partisan, and the government had an antagonistic relationship with press that was on the other side. Only in this century has the "we are neutral even if we aren't" mantra become the norm for mainstream media. He isn't going after the press as a whole, he is going after the partisan press, which is of course mostly progressive these days.
How convenient? What's that called? Perception management?Wow, so many progressive talking points in one statement. Yeesh.
Less regulations means more economic meltdowns and events like Deepwater Horizon. I don't want more money going to stockholders, I want more money going to me. It's bad enough their tax rate on dividends is 10% when I'm paying 35%. What we need to do is end corporate welfare.Less regulations means more $$ for actually producing the product the company offers, less overhead, and more $$ for stockholders, which considering pensions and 401k's is a lot of people not exactly among the hoi poloi.
The defense budget is obscene. We need to cut it in half. Close all these bases we got around the world and end these bullshit wars we've been fighting for the last decade.Defense is a federally mandated sphere.
Yawn.and right now we are mostly bombing off-white people. And saying abortion is a problem for the States to figure out is Federalism, i.e. small FEDERAL government.
Their outrage is in direct proportion to how fucked what the Republicans are trying to do. They are screwing the American people to the benefit of their 1% masters.They are screaming their fool heads off, not debating, not asking actual questions, just screaming talking points trying to drown them out.
He didn't have progressive policies. He didn't even have a single liberal in his Cabinet. His foreign policy was the PNAC neocon agenda.I won't talk for others, but my opposition against Obama was opposition to his policies, and progressive policies in general. I don't have to hate the guy to dislike his politics, or think he's an asshole.
1. Yes, it's name calling. Fascism is storming their offices, arresting them, and forcing government censors on them. Stop calling everything you don't like "Fascism",
And yes, it is progressive. What is the split of Dem $$ vs. Republican $$ given during elections by journalists, and the CEO's of major press organizations? It may not be crazy like you progressive, but it's still progressive.
2. It's called reality, sometimes loons like you are called back to it, picking up the phone and answering is entirely up to you.
3. Nice scare tactics. There were plenty of regulations in place and those things still happened. The problem is progressives believe in regulation that is designed to stifle industries they don't like, not actually regulate them. Plus, most of the regulations are made up by lawyers and "activists". not people in the actual fields, who for some reason are often treated as the enemy by said regulators.
4. The time when we can hide behind our Oceans and let the world do what it wants is over. International Trade is needed to maintain our economy, and a Strong military is needed to maintain international Trade.
5. I take your lack or response as a lack of an actual point to make. Hack
6. More agitprop from someone who probably gets their thinking and talking points from Daily Kos.
7. If you are just going to outright lie then I win, you lose, piss off.
