Now, having to defend itself, rather than acknowledge the bias and seek more diversity of view, it will go the other way.

This is his BIG concern, not "you can keep your doctor," or "Benghazi was a spontaneous reaction to a video," or "we began negotiating with the Iranians only after a 'moderate' was elected," or Obama's lies to AIPAC about Jerusalem, or his lies about the nuclear deal, or "I have Israel's back," or "terrorism has less to do with Islam then any other religion," or the absolutely Orwellian "workplace violence." Don Lemon is a news anchor in the United States of America! Obama sold himself and his propositions through the lie. And I think Lemon's example is indicative of the pettiness fueled by emotion rather than reason, which we now see all around us.<br />JeffwithaJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07073609950380822171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6579213173749170024.post-63937349483304944142017-01-21T23:49:52.079-08:002017-01-21T23:49:52.079-08:00oldschool,

Act..."And it makes absolutely no sense."<br /><br />Actually, it does. For a long time I think most of us have sensed a mood/longing among radical activists for a repeat of the good old 60's. And, of course, the "long march through the institutions," isn't over by a far cry. "Revolution," has always been the siren song and it has of course always fizzled out because in the end the average guy has to put food on the table (and stuff like that.)<br /><br />What we are seeing is all of the above and a humiliated left gearing up for the next shot.Doodadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03349941094682080146noreply@blogger.com
