Are you afraid? Well you probably don’t need to be as afraid as are. Daniel Gardner is the author The Science of Fear: Why We Fear the Things We Shouldn't--and Put Ourselves in Greater Danger, and he’s going to tell us why our primitive response to fear causes us problems in today’s modern world.

 

You might not know it from the media coverage, but John McCain has made no fewer than 61 flip-flops (aka refinements) on policy positions. Here’s the list. The latest of these is a “clarification” on his statement that gays should not be able to adopt. We want to find out why his 180s aren’t skewered and lampooned in the media half as much as Barack Obama’s “refine” comments. Eric Boehlert of Media Matters has a theory or two to explain this phenomenon.

 

Today’s McCain untruth – from a surrogate as usual – is that there is no wildlife in ANWR. Ok, let’s pause here and spell out what ANWR stands for: Arctic National WILDLIFE Refuge. Man, do they really want to drill for oil everywhere they can.

 

Plus, green speed dating, more news from the Courts on the fate of gitmo detainees, a Bush related bribery scandal, bank runs, a ban on baggy pants and much, much more …

 

Kuby...GOOGLE "OPERATION MOCKINGBIRD" CIA bragged in '05

about how successful this operation on the media was. They have bribed, bought or blackmailed every MSM operation in America. Reporter's jobs depend on their cooperation. You claim it is "conspiratorial" to suggest that there is a united agenda by the press to (obviously) push the GOP agenda and to give McCain a pass while hitting Obama with as much scrutiny as can be mustered.

Obviously even the CIA director bragging about what a success this operation mocking bird has become, especially since media ownership is now in the hands of so few people, is not enough to get you to open your eyes. You dismiss it so glibly and once again demonstrate how, in spite of being ill informed, your "opinion" must be correct. The media's agenda is as plain as the nose on your face with evidence of their propaganda complicity blaring daily in your ears and you refuse to recognize the obvious but rather claim 'you just don't understand' or 'you just don't get it'.

The only way to not know is to not want to know. It's like believing that OBL is alive when his death is also obvious...one only needs to google or search for the info. Is the only thing you read your opinions coming out of other people's mouths? It's a good thing your heart shines through and reveals you as a beautiful person or I wouldn't even bother to point out the discrepancies of your "national voice". Right now I love ya' like a brother...just not one of mine.
