I'm not sure where that 85% figure comes from, but given current antics I'd be willing to make an intuitive argument that a significant portion of the political left in this country says this because they agree with what the press is saying.  If the press disagreed, you'd get to see what real fascism looks like.

It's buried in the article. 

 

And virtually everyone (85 percent of respondents) believed that “freedom of the press is essential for American democracy” (compared to 4 percent opposed to that statement).

Wow. Wow. Republicans are wearing “Id rather be Russian than a Democrat” shirts and nearly half want to destroy the first amendment. Wow. I’m in awe at how stupid and unAmerican 43% of Republicans are. 

 

 

 

Can't disagree with anything in this post....but what's your take on liberals after listening to the hysteria turned up to 11 for the past 18 months?   

 

I'm guessing at least 43% would rather be Russian than a "Nazi" Republican.

Poll finds 103% of Americans think The Dude is a !@#$ing bonehead.

 

(Poll has an error of +/- 3%).

Maybe you should quit being a douche and learn a little yourself about it. 

 

I recommend starting with the 7 Years War at the latest and then bringing yourself current. 

 

The Seven Years' War?

 

Good God, you're a pathetic little simpleton.  Quickly now, compare and contrast the battle of Quiberon Bay and Seydlitz's command and control at Rossbach with the Manafort Trial.

I deactivated my Facebook recently. It’s very dusturbing to me to see so many veteran friends supporting a draft dodging coward. But they’re enlisted men who lack education so I forgive them for their lack of judgement. 

 

Im currently reading The Guns of August. If you can provide me with anything nearly as interesting regarding Holder, I’ll glance at it. But he’s not important, relevant, or worthy of anything more than a mere mention in the annals of history so he’s boring. 

Read the works of Theodor Geisel.  His treatise on "The Grinch" really amounts to a fantastical deep dive on the perils of unfettered capitalism v communal socialism.  I don't want to ruin it for you, but in the end, socialism wins out. Interestingly, in Giesel's never-competed dark sequel "Look Who's Grinchin 2",  by page 6 there is literally no toilet paper to be found anywhere in Whoville and every character eventually starves to death. 

 

Plus The Grinch is like you, he seems to hate a little somethung about everyone. I call him The_GrinchDude.

Yes, I rate FDR well. He does however play second fiddle to his contemporary across the pond though. 

Churchill was definitely opinionated. My favorite Churchill quote:

" Individual Moslems may show splendid qualities. Thousands become the brave and loyal soldiers of the Queen: all know how to die. But the influence of the religion paralyzes the social development of those who follow it. No stronger retrograde force exists in the world. Far from being moribund, Mohammedanism is a militant and proselytizing faith. It has already spread throughout Central Africa, raising fearless warriors at every step; and were it not that Christianity is sheltered in the strong arms of science—the science against which it had vainly struggled—the civilization of modern Europe might fall, as fell the civilization of ancient Rome."

I agree , a free press will try to keep politicians honest , a checks and balance. There will be bias in opinion , CNN favor Democrats ,  FOX favors Republicans. 

 

freedom of the press. The right to circulate opinions in print without censorship by the government. Americans enjoy freedom of the press under the First Amendment

....yes, Id begin American history there if I were teaching it. Why? Puritans are !@#$ing boring, Indians insignificant, and to go over how each colony began is also boring. So, to teach one American History, I’d start there.

Well, liberal hysteria is nothing new. Liberals are like women — quick to panic and small brains. I also think they’d calm down if they knew about Hitler and his rise to power. Liberals are always convincing themselves something is “Hitler.” Mostly, I just laugh when i see the “resistance.”

I’ve read about 50% of what Churchill wrote, and he wrote A LOT. But that may be the first time I’ve read that quote. A lot of quotes are atttrubuted to the man that he didn’t say, but this sounds like something he’d say. 

 

Im convinced that he planned the Gallipoli campaign as a means to retake Constantinople from the savage Turk. 

 

One thing I LOVED about Winston is he knew that ‘diversity’ was a bad thing. He would be sick to see how many Muslims are now on his island. I’m glad he’s not around to meet the mayor of London.

If you think it's weird for me to save a statement like the one you made then you truly are a despicable person. Woman are quick to panic and have small brains? That may be true for the women you encounter. Do you ever wonder why?

Well, I see the dude is still trying to defend this asinine poll............

 

 

the funniest part is his deflection to his vast knowledge of military history....................which (of course) "aint got nothing to do with it"

 

his original post, and the hilariously worded thread title are what this is supposed to be about.

 

Since it is bogus and indefensible........................we get his rant against lower white trash and calling those who point out his (obvious) mistakes a "douche"

 

just another day in "lala land"

Good and bad on both sides. The liberals are evil and republicans are perfect and vice versa is such crap. Its why I choose to be independent. I am giving strong consideration to voting anything but republican this fall however. You hard core republicans can thank Trump for that. Im sure Im not the only one thinking that way.

Glad your amused Rhino. Got a feeling you wont be laughing in November.

While we cannot agree which party is the bigger pile of crap, at least we can all agree that you're a !@#$ing moron.
