Yep jkalos.

I'm with you..

All of the msm who continue to trot the exact same word-for-word scripted bs (which they get directly from WH press secs.)ARE just as guilty as those conspiring to bamboozle the public with thier ambigious rhetoric.

The media has the responsibility of asking questions THE PUBLIC WANT TO KNOW-not what the corporate-owned govt. want us

to. that includes not buying into the redundancy of cliched sloganeering leaving all viewers to wonder: "WTF did he just say?".

The media seems to be enamored of pundits and elitist scholars that like to wow themselves with thier creative and long-winded

words and slogans...

But the average viewer does not speak that way-and most of the time is not impressed with a litany of 5 syllable words.

Language is meant to COMMUNICATE with people-NOT to purposely try to confuse and control through language.

It should be as concise as possible-that's the job of the msm- to take ambiguity out of it and INFORM the public..

Has this country gone so far downhill from the past 8 years of made-up language, ambiguous language, coded language, emotionally-charging language--that it does not even know the basic meanings anymore of communication, information,news v. propaganda???

If your not worried about the fate of your own soul-or freewill msm--please don't think that the public isn't.

We know we went to war based on lies, killed many innocent Iraqis, have tortured, have given up our own rights unwillingly,asked our troops to do things against thier own freewill, ignored the environment, squandered other countries resources for our own greed--and that's something many Americans are coming to grips with in our own collective conscience and trying to rectify...

Many,like myself, are extremely angry- that a few men of Govt., media, lobbyists, foreign lobbyists, fundamentalist sects.....have decided upon themselves to take away our nations' collective soul and conscience in upholding the laws of natural order or basic law itself over personal freewill. Life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness are all rights given every human in pursuant to thier own souls' evolution.

That the public and our military(including contractors)were ordered to commit the acts that they have,(or else lied about or manipulated)compromises not only the evolution of those involved-but all of us..

That's the biggest disgrace of all-the immoral arrogance of a few who've taken everyones' choice of freewill in thier own lives AWAY.

This is the biggest offense of all to me-it's what makes me angriest.

Enslavement by definition

would include not only body-but mind and soul-all parts of things human.

This is why it is so morally wrong to use control of emotions, manipulations of mind,lack of clarity, lack of substance dispensed through media (by govt.) to puposely "enslave" Americans for immoral purposes.

It is why the Bill of Rights and our Constitution were created to begin with..

No foreign country, industry, religious affiliates have the right by laws of "abolition of slavery" (and freedoms afforded like freedom of religion) to enslave others to thier own capitalistic or religious interests.

I have my own right of freewill to chooses my own fate as accorded by the Constitution---just as all Americans do..

All the manipulations, lies, spin, rhetoric...will never take that away..as much as they might try..

Those that DO try need to be held accountable.

The public needs to take a very active role in doing so-by being as vocal as possible about thier rights (mind,body & soul).

Nailed it GG

Cokies' technique is one very common to the Rt Wing...

ignore any dissent but instead remain focused on just presenting issues as black/white, win/lose to play to thier ignorant electorate who eagerly wait for thier chance to wave their "#1" foam fingers...

These same #1-foam-finger-waving RT-wingers don't even care what the person has to say...They just are filled with such hollow lives-that lives in thier own egomania--that living to be " a part" of something, getting the chance to yell "WHOOOOOOOOO" with other GOPers,getting the chance to yell "Let's get the bitch/asshole"....show's the mentality of people who don't want to do alot of thinking on thier own shallow lives-but instead want to demonize everyone for their unhappiness and shallowness.

It's the Cokies of the GOP, the Limbaughs', the O-Reillys'---that continue the reciprocity of the egos.....

Rush, O.,Cokie:::the world is black cause I say it is.

# finger-waver: WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO....

Rush, cokie, O.: Damn right I'm right!

#1 Finger-wavers" WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO....

Rush, Limabugh, O.-anyone who tells you differently is a terrorist

#1: foam-finger: WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO......

and so the conversation continues:

the foam-fingers feeding off the lunatic egomaniacs..

reciprocity and circular firing squad of egomania...

reality gets further and further away from ego..

it's why you can't get through to people who live in the ego/materialism of their own minds.
