Sunday Morning Open Thread: Each Dawn I Die

Name someone like Frank Ross today?
The MSM is chocked full of them:
Dan Rather, Brian Williams, Charlie Gibson, Katie Couric, Rachel "The Bull" Maddow, Chris "Wet Leg" Matthews, Keith "Big Head" Olberman.

That was easy enough.
(/sarc off)

Cagney seethes like a thousand volcanoes as he squirms in his seat, tethered to the repulsive Raft. The eyeballs of audiences throughout the world are riveted to Cagney's face for what seems like hours until he gets up and socks Raft, satan personified, with a left to the jaw.

They don't make them like that any more.

The Republican's are a party of NO!!!!!!

NO more taxes….

NO more corrupt government…..

NO more "special deals"…….

NO more progressive agenda…..

YES we are the party of NO!!!!!

I probably could name them if I could pronounce or spell their names.

They're very thin on the ground here but there are a lot of them trying hard in such physical and virtual mind-prisons as China, Russia, Burma, Belarus, Viet Nam, Libya, Cuba, Iran, Syria, Venezuela, North Korea, Berkeley, and San Francisco.

I would put Glen Beck and Breitbart with Giles and O'Keefe on the list. Whoever leaked the global warming emails also. There are others, but I wish there were more.

I heard bin ladin was forming a corp to buy his freedom.. I also heard that GE with its new found rights will soon be running for president after GE wants all their constitutional rights. I would protest all this but I am only a poor person and I have no rights.

Rick, calm down, have cup of tea! All politicians live and thrive on tax-payer money – left or right. The Washington folks need to be put on a no-pork and no sweet deals diet.

Now *that's* a friggin' movie!

Thanks for posting the trailer today.

Like Frank Ross Breitbart exposes corruption, cronyism, & media bias. Andrew B. knew that traditional media chose not to cover certain stories which gave him the opportunity to present those stores to and hungry readership. In the Golden Age of Newpapers cities had 10 or 12 papers competing for business. Street smart reporters without any kind of college degree fought for any story that would sell papers. Tough immigrant kids fought for the best corner to sell newspapers. That sure as heck is not the spirit of the elitist L.A. & NYC Times. Today you can only find that unbridled, kick-ass spirit with internet news. Thanks to Andrew and the rest of the gang. Might I suggest Big Ed-ucation. Kids are being brainwashed by their teachers as I write.

Go be a victim somewhere else … like the DailyKOS, or the Democrat Party.

I see the thumb but no debate.. or was that a vote for GE for president?

1. Not a Republican (at least not first and foremost); certainly not a registered one.

2. No, actually you will find me to be a real buzzsaw to your insipidity. As an aside, considering the quality of your arguments and writing, I'd shelve the over-the-top, cartoonish overconfidence, if I were you.

3. Don't need to read your profile — your posts to this thread speak volumes. You are either: a) highly misinformed, or b) deceptively attempting to dispirit conservatives, and dissuade them from supporting the GOP — currently their only practical (if not natural) home — by attempting to draw some moral or ideological equivalence between the Republican and Democrat parties.

4. Exactly to what you are referring in your first two questions is unclear. As for the last one, I would counter your absurd notion that Republicans are *so progressive* by simply asking: how many of the 60 votes in the Senate for Obamacare were cast by members of the GOP? Don't answer, it's rhetorical.

I heard these words before " I not a republican but only the republicans can save day"..thus you are republican.

the republicans are the allies of the democrats and use the government to maintain their power, thus they are government parties.

when a party uses the power and wealth of the government to maintain their power it does make the socialist thus progressive.. we would not want a fair election to get in their way of their power.

before I waste my time on you are going to debate or just hate.

just look at the postive you debate the people will love you

Corporations are properly viewed (by people who value liberty, that is) as a method by which people organize themselves to accomplish that which they could not alone. In this regard, it is no different than any number of other plural entities, such as unions, advocacy groups, churches, political parties, non-profits, etc.

Should anyone object to any particular message, the correct response is more (and more persuasive) speech — not shutting that message down.

People who frequent Breitbart's sites know the following: the MSM cannot be trusted to be objective. We instinctively DEVALUE its product (and it is just that — *a product*); and we refuse to hold members of this "profession" above their fellow Americans, in some protected or elevated class.

Remember, this is the Information Age: the opportunities for the rest of us to be "journalists" grow with each passing week. As such, at what point do an individual's online reviews, reports, or rants — regardless of the topic — cease being mere remarks and qualify as "news"?

You speak in bizarre, conspiratorial platitudes. "The Republicans are the allies of the Democrats?" So Rep. Joe Wilson R-SC, who famously shouted "You lie!" during Obama's health care speech to Congress, is allied with Maxine Waters D-CA , who threatened to nationalize U.S. oil companies?

(BTW, why does every one of your comments have a single vote of approval? Is this sock puppetry?)

attack the messanger
socialist tactics
party tactics

they allies they love to hold hands as they gerymander the country. as if it was spoils of war. strike one.
the elections laws put in place are to keep all others out . strike two
the both support the progressive tax code strike three
they both refused to control the border as if it was a game against the American people.
they both love amnesty
I can go on.

Now browns victory.. If coakly had came out hard against this HC bill and the terrorist should tried in military court she would have won and the republicans know it.
This was not a republican victory. This was a unaffiliated victory for there was not enough republicans to win election. Brown must keep his promise or he will be gone that is the power of being unaffiliated. Without a party to re-elect the politician must keep their word or be gone.
52% of the state is independent and thus not a democratic state but an independent state.

corp is property
people formed corp to limit liability.
thus the money is company money not theirs.
thus a corp is not a person and thus has no rights
corp. can have foreigners, foreign governments even terrorist own them.. that is bad for the election process.
giving rights to property diminish the voice a real person
and can be said with this ruling that people have become property.

what you complain about NBC and I am sure GE is because they are corp.
what is not said here is about the local control and how local media also plays the same game, some hate democrats some hate republicans.
most media are members of the chamber of commerce and act to protect those interests.
get corp out the press and owned by individuals we might get a fair shake but I doubt it.

The progressive tax code and regulations which both government parties support dictate who will have the depression and who will have the recession and who will succeed. The bank bailouts once and for all declared the connected won’t be allowed to fail and working people won’t be allowed to succeed and will be stuck with the bill. To the supporters of the bail out what do you tell the people who were hurt by the bail out? You answer clearly was “ it sucks to be you” or was it a more gentlemen’s response “yea me screw you”?
A republic is founded on laws and when those laws are not enforced then there is no republic there is only corruption.
When this country learns that our liberty was stolen one tax, one regulation, one manipulation at a time and all in the name of the public good or is it for government good or is it for party good, they will know it was the government parties that killed the promise of America.
In case some of you forgot part of that promise was the right to succeed, but also the right to fail.

There are few things more sacred to a republic than representation. The one man one vote and all it’s citizens are represented equally promise. Why isn’t voter fraud hounded out of existence? Voter fraud is a direct assault on our republic, it can kill a nation. There is nothing more fraudulent than gerrymandering and it’s creation of an artificial majority based on party affiliation not representation to silence the dissention of we the people. It is one of the reason our congress does not listen to we the people. Gerrymandering is a creation of the government parties to protect their power and to turn representation into re-election.. The parties can not speak of freedom until districts are based on representation not party affiliation.

"Get corporations out of the press and owned by individuals?"

You say this so cavalierly. Not even the billionaire Rupert Murdoch owns a majority of News Corp. (I wonder if he could afford it).

I don't know about you, but I want access to news organizations that have resources and reporters flung all over the globe. This costs MONEY. And LOTS of it. There are precious few *individuals* — as you would like to see — who can underwrite such an undertaking. But corporations allow PEOPLE — i.e., *groups of individuals* — to come together and accomplish this.

Who knows? Maybe Breitbart will go public and we can ALL help him expand his reach and influence. Would you rule out participation on the grounds that it would constitute … yet another EVIL media corporation?

And as for this hallowed pure, natural state that you so simplistically wish for — "trade between two individuals" — all I can say is, thank God for corporations. No "individual" can bring us what we have today: modernity.

Cheap, abundant food. Technology that a hundred years ago would have appeared to be magic. Life-saving medications.

Conversely, trade between two individuals translates to the Stone Age: beads exchanged for land; hogs exchanged for grain.

I don't want that. I want a freakin' GPS-enabled, wirelessly-networked iPhone. And an *individual* could never bring me that. Nor could government, for that matter. But a CORPORATION can.

Good job, i will keep visiting this blog very often. I mean, her, awesome thoughts
