Headline: How red-state politics are shaving years off American lives

[Procrustes Stretched]

I quit the Post in 1995 because of their democrat bias and racist op-ed’s.

When they were busy attacking Bill Clinton?

okay

You're jealous of anybody who can think outside the Voices From a Box media that mind-slaves are made to believe in. Everything we are told from above is make-believe.

They didn’t attack Clinton.

^^^ racist POS

That’s trump logic. It’s like calling me cheap because I remember 3 years ago you were cheap.

Such spin. A college degree is still worth $1 million dollars. Did you know that? So on average, a person who has a college degree will make an extra $33,000 a year for 30 years. Imagine what you could do with an extra $33K a year

College Is for Coolies

Meaningless justification. Just because a Diploma Dumbo job-thief makes that much money doesn't mean he earns it. The chiefs of the drug cartels make a lot of money, too, so you miss the point of whether it's good for society and the economy. Getting a job just because you can go four years without a job makes no sense. It is the equivalent of buying a job, which elevates people who can't do the job.

If truth could be told instead of sold, the fact is that the sadistic bosses care only about how much a potential employee sacrifices in order to work for them, not about how much potential he has. And college is designed only for the bosses' sons, anyway. The treacherous Trustfundies don't have to live like teenagers afraid to grow up, eking by in childishness, emptiness, and depression off part-time low-wage jobs. And Daddy pays his brats' tuition, too, so he has no right to mock those graduates who can't pay off their student loans.

Success in a failed economy is nothing to be proud of.

A couple of days ago we had hazy days here in the Florida panhandle because of those Canadian fires.

Forest fires weren't a frequent headline until the Greenie girlymen put their resentment of manly lumberjacks into law.

Blaming the Messenger: A Continuum of Press Condemnation​

Blaming the Messenger: A Continuum of Press Condemnation

From Jefferson to Palin, politicians of the left and right have blamed the media for public discontent with their policies, politics or personal behavior.

www.pewresearch.org

As election day draws closer, complaints about a liberal bias in the press have intensified. On Oct. 6, a crowd at a Sarah Palin rally shouted abuse at reporters after the vice presidential nominee blamed CBS anchor Katie Couric for what Palin called a “less-than-successful interview with the kinda mainstream media.” Wall Street Journal columnist Dorothy Rabinowitz has offered concrete examples of reporting that favored Obama. And probably the most strident moment came from McCain senior advisor Steve Schmidt who in September told reporters that The New York Times “is today not by any standard a journalistic organization.”

Where do the current criticisms fit in with the history of national political leaders’ relations with the press? Criticism of the press by political figures is hardly new. As far back as 1796, George Washington explained his decision not to seek a third term noting, among other reasons, he was “disinclined to be longer buffeted in the public prints by a set of infamous scribblers.”1

The criticism has not always come from the political right. During the Vietnam War, Presidents Lyndon Johnson and Richard Nixon alike condemned the press for what they saw as undermining of their war efforts. Bill Clinton’s relationship with the press, never good, soured further during the scandal over Monica Lewinsky, and variously included complaints about both liberalism and a right-wing media machine.

The more overtly partisan and ideological nature of the criticism — that the press is liberal — is relatively new. The modern critique by conservatives that the press is liberal first notably flowered in public in 1964 when former President Dwight Eisenhower raised the complaint at the Republican convention, to wild reaction. The criticism has become noticeably bolder since the 1990s, when Newt Gingrich, representing the second generation of movement conservatism, took power in the House. Yet it may have never been more pointed or personal than this year.

What follows is a timeline of key examples of political leaders attacking the press that offers something of a guide to how the rhetoric has evolved.

Wow!

Your hatred for America and Americans is amazing.

Mental Cowardice From Ventriloqists' Dummies

There was a video of a worker playing jokes on a robot by moving something just when it was about to pick up the object. I actually felt sorry for the robot. Realizing that is nuts, I don't feel sorry for people who post like programmed droids.

You Republicans seem to be anarchists. You want to tear down the entire system. Boy are you unhappy. The only problem is 40% of your party are deep state globalist rinos. Who like the stutus quo. And to be honest, I like the status quo too. We don't need to tear the system down and re invent it. We just need to roll back some regulations and tax breaks. We need stronger unions. We need Democrats in the White House, and controlling the Senate and House.

Unfortuntely it's too late on the Supreme Court. The Court is now stacked against labor. When it's you or Harlan Crow, you lose every time. Do you want to tear that down too? Has Hunter made you wake up to realize the good old white boy network is bad and you aren't a member just because you are white? Told you so.

You use democrat propaganda to excuse democrat propaganda.
And you didn’t respond to my examples.
You’re either a dishonest propagandist or an idiot.
You decide.

So, basically, letting people make their own choices.
Of course thats bad to a statist.

Just pointing out the consequences of your ignorant decisions. And maybe laughing a bit, too.
