Of course we are moving to a police surveillance state. It seems that Peter would rather wait until the police state has completely formed and consolidated its power before getting outraged about it. The Left certainly doesn't lack the imagination Peter does - they are building it, and we will regret it.

This is just what you libs keep telling yourselves so you can sleep at night. Removing Iraq as a nexxus of terror in the world was a good thing; Obama kicking over half the governments in the middle east and giving them to the muslim brotherhood was not. That will only become more clear as time goes on. Anyone who still clings to the Bush "worst ever" memes is simply showing their desperation. If Obama was competent, you'd have something to show for it, and you wouldn't have to wheel out the Bush punching bag for another round. It's so 2005.

The GOP thought it could turn a few of the girls into informants. The Watergate affair was the political equivalent of a panty raid. Obama has done much, much, worse.

Who sucks at selling freedom and liberty?" - Andrew Breitbart Tue, 11 Dec 2012 07:12:33 +0000 http://www.commentarymagazine.com/2012/12/10/what-if-conservatives-have-lost-the-argument/#IDComment515924533 http://www.commentarymagazine.com/2012/11/16/remove-the-carriers-from-the-persian-gulf/#IDComment493282425 Honestly, I believe the carriers (and the rest of our navy) are massed there for a reason. Obama has been gutting our military by outing dozens of high-ranking officers in scandals. He created the whole sequestration thing that will cut a trillion from the military next year. A recent Taliban attack destroyed most of our aircraft fleet - we have suffered the largest loss of aircraft since WWII. (Notice you didn't hear much about that.) And one well-placed Iranian nuke in the gulf... and most of our fleet would be gone, too. If someone wanted to literally decimate our military, this would be a good way to do it. Funny how that all works out, isn't it?

To maintain the integrity of elections, they have to regularly clean them of all people who have no right to vote. This has been done since the founding of the country, and needs to be done. The author may have conflated different types of voter fraud, but it's still fraud: you're trying to conflate voter fraud with regular maintainence - yours is the bigger lie. Which is it? Did Rangel "take a page out of the Republican handbook" or did Espaillat "take a page out of the democrat one"? The truth is, it doesn't matter. People who are not supposed to vote are NOT SUPPOSED TO VOTE. And if you want to run a fair election, you have to screen these people out.

In the olde days of the glorious 3 liberal networks, the populace was much more fragmented. You actually could just target particular audiences. You could go to, say, a wealthy San Francisco fundraiser and tell your donors what you really thought about "those bitter clingers"... and no one would ever find out what you really thought outside that room. But with the magic of cellphones and internet - suddenly EVERYONE hears what you're saying. Now, this doesn't mean that you can't try to target a single group - say by targeting women by making up a phony war on them - but it also means you're a fool if you think it will stay contained to that group or that there won't be collateral damage elsewhere. Like, when the people you claim are at "war with women" actually aren't. They tend to get upset. And the result, is your propaganda hardens your opposition instead and alienates people who know better. So, keep that up... it's been working great.

Freelance journalists sell stories all the time. National Geo, for example, even finances expeditions. Does that compromise the science conducted? Face it, the whole purpose of this article is to dismiss the things Brietbart did, not make any arguments about what he found. And who's it directed at? Those on the Right see this as a transparent ploy; you ain't converting anyone. No, this is targeted at your friends on the Left who are starting to look over the fence of your plantation - where the koolaid is free and MSNBC is on all day long.

I left last year because I had no choice; all of my graphics design and programming skills are useless in a state that shed all its IT workers and has a hundred thousands of newly-minted designers. For the first time in 30 years, I wasn't able to afford to live in my own home state. I'm down in Texas now. Things are still difficult; but they're doable. As much as I love Rhode Island, it will never get out of its own way. Look up Rhode Island in wikipedia and you'll see that it has the distinction of being one of the few "permanently blue states". Perhaps that's a clue as to what the root problem is.

The DVDs are pressed, videos encoded and uploaded, the stories researched and done. And when we start to see this stuff come out, we can all smile knowing who was behind it.

The Left show its intolerance every time it opens it's mouth. Go ahead, keep it coming - he loved it because it reveals the truth about YOU. If you think you're demoralizing anyone, you are sorely mistaken... you are only confirming everything we know to be true and everything he told us about you. Think about what a piece of cr#p you have to be to go trolling this hate, here, today. Breitbart: 1 Yepaff: 0.

We have to follow in Andrew's footsteps... everyone should watch his CPAC 2012 speech today. In it, he talks about why he re-tweets the hatred he receives from the Left; he said it was to remind them (and everyone) constantly of their intolerance. Today, we're going to be deluged by every Leftist pri*ck doing their best to say the worst. Don't be quiet. Don't let it stand. Take every bit of intolerance, and rub their noses in it. Make them OWN it. Do NOT let them walk all over our happy warrior when WE and HE needs us most.

That's why FOX is more balanced. MSNBC, on the other hand, has purged every view even a little in opposition.

Sociopaths can be smart. Hustlers and con artists are smart - at fooling people.

Even homophobes.

Very often when debating these idiots, you get dragged down into obscure arguments over the relevance of tree rings in 14th century Bavaria... its much better to keep the debate on simple, uncontested, facts that have been well-known for many decades. You know, stuff that a child can understand... because we are dealing with children.

I had pretty much thought cold fusion was a lark; but he appears to have stumbled onto something interesting. Notice all the true energy advancements are occurring in the private sector; not one "green energy program" anywhere to be found. I guess Rossi wasn't on the Obama re-election committee.

Each person born has an original sin - of breathing, and using resources. As religions go, it is an apocalyptic one: unless you convert, not only will you perish, but so will all of humanity. They have their sacred holiday in the spring, which is observed worldwide and promoted by all the media and government. To convert, you need to practice certain sacred rituals - the sorting of trash, the purchase of particular "blessed" products. Indulgences are offered as well - one must buy carbon credits to offset the sin that is one's existence, in order to be "clean". They have their sacred texts; Earth in the Balance, Silent Spring, etc. They have their prophets; Al Gore, Rachel Carson, Michael Mann. This religion is also completely endorsed by our government, and we are forced by law in many ways to conform to its beliefs. They believe that the oceans are rising, even though they aren't; that the world is getting warmer, even though it isn't; that the ice is melting, even though it isn't. They have a list of sacred totem animals they worship: the polar bear, the dolphin, the snail dart. But, most of all, they believe. With all their hearts. And they won't rest until you do, too. Mon, 20 Feb 2012 19:08:56 +0000 http://frontpagemag.com/2012/02/20/the-global-warming-cult-and-the-death-of-science/#IDComment297413396 http://frontpagemag.com/2012/02/20/the-global-warming-cult-and-the-death-of-science/#IDComment297399831 Follow the math... none of these facts are controversial, and are all well-established: 1% of the total atmosphere are green house gasses. Of the 1%: 91% is water vapor, the most prevalent greenhouse gas. It is 3-35 times more insulating than any other greenhouse gas, and caused by the sun striking the ocean. (Which is why solar variations drive climate more than anything else) 8% of greenhouse gasses are CO2. Of the 8% CO2: 4% represent the entire human footprint. 96% of CO2 is naturally occurring, and we couldn't do anything about it if we tried. And if we destroyed all of human civilization, it would only affect 4% of the total CO2. Of the 4% human-caused CO2: Kyoto and Copenhagen only sought to regulate 12-17% FACTS: There isn't enough CO2 to affect temperature, we aren't responsible for enough of it, and we aren't even trying to regulate enough of that. It's a scam. And continuing the debate only makes the pro-global warming people look bad - which is the real reason you want it to stop. You manufacture a phony "consensus", then bitterly attack anyone who dares question it, all the while claiming the "debate" is over - when it's really only just begun. You're like a one-trick pony... and the trick isn't even that good.
