Ask W. It apparently only takes 8 (!) years to get the economy of Zimbabwe and when Fox news is screened by a Saudi Prince, I want someone to point these things out to me. Real journalism is repoting facts and is freedom of speech and I don't understand why anyone would be opposed to it. Hollywood is one of the few influences that isn't "old money" and do not have corporately-funded ideas. That is why the right feels threatened by them. They make their money the old fashioned way. They earn it rather than inherit it or sell their souls to corporations to furthur those corporations' objectives, which is to completely control our country.
have you not noticed that our press are ALL owned by corporations? You think there is freedom of the press here? There is, by the constitution, but NOT by the press' corporate owners!
Thankfully, we don't have the tolerance for christian people of Iran. Unfortunately, we have the exact SAME tolerance for NON-christian people as Iran does of christian people! I just LOVE the alleged tolerance of other religions (and facts) the Texas school board just enacted. Just a WONDERFUL example of the religious right in this country stealing our country: leaving out Thomas Jefferson, without whom those idiots would not HAVE the right to religion freedom. Incredible that ANYONE would align themselves with those complete anti-american morons and still pretend to be more "knowing" of what should be said and done in this country.
as far as "freedom of speech", you obviously think that includes Glenn Beck calling our President a Nazi, a Fascist, a Communist. That is not an idea, which is supposed to be what the first amendment is about, i.e. the sharing of, but plain old SLANDER from a (i hesitate to say) person with an agenda NOT beneficial to this country. "Freedom to LIE nationally" is NOT covered by the first amendment and certainly not what the founders of this country had in mind.
I'm tired of morons like YOU, STILL pretending that the conservative/republican/BUSH policies and beliefs actually work, ESPECIALLY since the first 8 years of this century prove beyond doubt that those ideas aren't worth snot. If you or ANY republican could tell me what was GOOD about the 8 years of that LIAR, i will be shocked, because it has NOT happened yet. YOU still promote the exact same ideas and agenda, which you probably do NOT understand is to sell this country to the highest bidder (i.e., the corporations before Bush and the chinese after) and couldn't care at ALL about the people who live here and work here and vote here and try ever desperately to pursue that happiness that Jefferson wrote about, to no avail.
REAL questions would be a nice change from people like you, rather than the propaganda this is.
I wonder how many people are paid to post and answer questions in this and other forums? It's SO Karl Rove, wouldn't you say?
Ya gotta love Will Ferrell (sp?).
