I liked what Krauthammer said about this tonight.  He said that Obama claims to know what Fox reports repeatedly..... therefore he must be watching us all the time.....and we should run an ad declaring that we are the channel that the President watches!   

Know what?  You don't have to watch FOX to find out " whas' hapn' " anyway.  I get the clearest picture when I visit my local Ingles Market.  On my last trip to the grocery store, my grandson and I quickly went thru to pick up a few things and we proceeded to the easy check out line (20 items or less).  There was a latino lady in front of us and she clearly had more than the max allowed in her cart but the other lines were full so we stood there behind her while she checked out her items.  Now here is where it gets insightful.  She was separating the items as she was putting them on the counter.  She would check out a few and pay for them before continuing with the rest of the items.  Each time she paid, it was with some type of paper voucher.  She wound up with a cart full of stuff that she didn't pay as much as a dime for and I could feel my face burn as I was getting the picture of hard working people everywhere who were doing so in order for her to be able to do this. 

I think there ought to be checkout lines for voucher users or would that single them out as somehow inferior due to their extreme sensitivities?  And something else, I've never got in line at the grocery store behind one of these voucher or snap card users that was skinny.     

FOX should stand at these checkout lines and give the public what it already knows.  Tell you what they have done in my area in Grnvl. SC.  They have visited the stores and selected a shopper to be the recipient of the gift of paying for whatever the shopper had in his/her shopping cart.  This happened every day for a week.  FOX also appeared at one of several gas stations and paid for the gas of a customer and this happened frequently for awhile.  I don't see or hear of any other news station doing these things in my area.

Did you notice it was from "The Chicago Tribune" and the comments about marxism attributed to Ivy League college 'education'.  I won't even begin connecting the dots associated with Obama, but I was interested enough to google the individual's names of FDR's "advisors"...Ah, how history does repeat itself...and how thems who forget their history are doomed to relive it!!! 

That's when "socialism" got a bad name, and the Marxists went underground.  There were a few who tried to ring the alarm bells, but they were demonized by the left's media.

It is clear he is a very angry man child right now. He is not getting anything through Congress and even the left is turning on him to a degree. The democrats won't say it be they see how he has Obama has destroyed their legislative advantage. In Washington self preservation takes precedence and the total support from democrats is over. Obama cannot stand this.

If I were a working member of the Chicago media, I would get a severe case of twitchy if I wrote anything bad about Da Godfather and there was ANY construction going on where they were pouring a building's foundation.

We're going to have to change how our body politic thinks, which means we're going to have to change how the media reports on these issues."

Can you imagine the uproar if a Republican president had said something like this?



Everyone from Wolf Blitzer to Tim Robbins would be screaming bloody murder!

^The first part of that quote says a lot too.  "We're going to have to change how our body politic thinks".   Change how we think to what?  The colleges have been doing their best to change how we think.  They don't allow conservative ideas to get through.

In a universe where they scream bloody murder about micro-aggressions, what sort of national defense posture will we have from college-educated officers of the future?

I worry about that too.  Between all the internal changes regarding being openly gay, sensitivity training, and fast tracking illegals to serve, who knows what kind of military we will have.

The kind that wants to talk stuff out and practice empathy with those who want us dead, yesterday.

I worry that Obama will CHANGE Fox News and instead of the smart eye candy, infobabes, He'll replace them with Transgendered Politically Correct Libtards!  Nobody will want to watch Fox anymore.

Remember when Holder and Obama threatened to sue Standard and Poor for downgrading US Treasuries?  That was about a year ago.

The city governments want the federal mint to come in and bail them out for their excesses. That's what much of this rioting is about.
