I agree with you 100%. In fact, i have theorized that if we were to cut off ALL supportive payments to every nation and have them submit a request funding as a new applicant, we could then qualify each nation as a friend and supporter of our Nation. We then make an agreement as to what each party will do and, if they do not uphold their end of the bargin, cut them off and wait for another round of application. They must QUALIFY for the funds.
Good point, starman.

AGREED.

That will never happen.
The best we can do is to do some weeding.
Mostly socialists that don't know what has made this Republic great.

Maybe if you stop filling your little head with stupid conspiracy theories, you can go to bed at night without crying yourself to sleep.

Conservatism is an ideology built around affirmation instead of confirmation so Conservatives will only listen to new's that tells them what they want to hear instead of what is actually true.
I prefer to think of conservatism in its most fundamental form; a tendency to reject social change and a preference for tradition, which today is found in both the major parties. I think what you are describing is more specific to a number of populist movements that also exist on both sides of the divide but certainly the most predominate being those that rally under the Republican party which has been the more conservative party for the last 50 years.

No doubt. Fox News owes it's incredible success as a business to it's catering. If they suddenly decided to broadcast the boring facts like NPR they would most certainly loose the audience and sponsors they've built up on the right-wing's addiction to drama and outrage.

In general, public media does enjoy more journalistic freedom than commercial media does because they are not beholden to the dictates of corporate sponsorship. Even after a history of Republicans slashing budgets for public media has forced NPR and PBS to seek *some* corporate sponsorship to make ends meet, this rule is still holding because so far, the corporations willing to sponsor public media are supporting the existing programs.
There are always reasons for things. ;)

The truth is NEVER fair and balanced. In any situation where views are polar opposites, the truth always falls squarely on one side or the other.
Fair and balanced doesn't mean both sides win JW. That's like saying football isn't fair if one team wins and the other loses. If the truth falls squarely on one side or another it means the other side didn't do such a good job of reporting the truth. Is that fair? Yes, it is.

So how is the church with its lack of profit and all that upkeep any different from any other American household in the same situation? The percentage of American households that live from check to check is increasing rapidly and yet we still expect THEM to pay taxes.
Sorry man, it's not working on me. I don't have anything against churches, I'm just saying that I don't see any reason to give a church special treatment. There are millions of people and small businesses that struggle with taxes, no one likes to pay them but someone has to pay for the services provided.
BTW, did you find that law yet? I'm still waiting.

That doesn't explain the difference between being polite and being PC deb. That's OK, I'll just wait for the Canadian to respond, I get a feeling he will have a little more to offer than stupid insults.
