I would have thought that amazing, but it is more common than sliced bread at a bakery. Wait a few days and those views will be reversed. :(

We have long past the time of the news media reporting the news in an unbiased position and this is just another case of the known fact that the news medias have been taken over by the liberals and report the news the way THEY want you to hear it. And it is also amazing how guliable the American public is becomming when they believe what is reported to them by some "talent" that reads his/her lines off the teleprompter. What once was a country of "wolves" is slowly becomming a country of "sheep" because of this.

I thought it was called propaganda when the news media puts the spin on a story. ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN & most others should start putting the word news in quotation marks.

__>WOlf in sheep's clothing, here, thenkye veery much!:twisted:

I think it could only take a few generations to breed freedom outta the US population, 80% would trade it for "safety." :tomato:

THIS DOES NOT MAKE IT RIGHT!

Real freedom does not guarantee safe anything. WE are the guarantors of our own freedoms.

I've noted a lotta 'liberals' are really commies in disguise..."the system should to this for me, the system should do that for me, I don't know how to do that--so let's get a gov't task force to do that for me...waahh waaah wahah!"

They needta:ziped:

Remember all those republicans who voted for the patriot act...the liberals are not the only ones taking our freedoms as fast as they can (the majority, yes). I think it was Jefferson who said "those who sacrafice liberty for security deserve neither". And power is the great corruptor. If it's been in D.C. for more than 4 years it needs to go! I don't care what party it's in!!:rantmeter:

Decentralize and repeal!
