    I thought this article,

    http://www.salon.com/2013/10/20/conspiracy_theories_explain_the_right/

    that Appeared in "Salon" was especially well reasoned and provided much food for thought. Please don't bother to comment unless you have actually read the entire article.

    Apropos is a recent post from kid.fx.cross that he/she posted in another thread in P&R entitled "Inside the Fox News Lie Machine..." It's a quote you might keep in mind as you read the Salon article.

    Quote from kid.fx.cross:

    "Satan Rules

    We are not happy until everybody is pissed off

    Everybody on MSNBC is pissed off every day

    We own them

    Now it's just a matter of getting everybody on FOX pissed off

    Then, we will rule the world

    (if you are pissed off, you belong to me.) "

    My god, this cannot be real: "Forty-four percent of Republicans and 21 percent of Independents believe that Obama is making plans to stay in office after his second term expires. Only 11 percent of Democrats agree."

    Edit: the author forgot "the leftist media".
     
  3. I actually tried to read that article but it was such a piece of warped leftwing garbage, I stopped.

    Here's the thing, pie. We conservatives really do not require the services of liberals to advise us, counsel us, caution us or point out our flaws. Liberals' advice is always some version of "why can't you conservatives be more like us?"

    Cruz, Mike Lee and the people who followed them showed leadership and guts, two quantities not exactly in surplus in the republican party establishment. They were backstabbed by sellouts like McConnell, McCain, Graham, Boehner and Paul Ryan. Where exactly has following these RINOs gotten us?

    There are always a few in congress floating bills to repeal the 22nd. Nothing conspiratorial about that.

    Fox Nearly Doubles CNN and MSNBC's Combined Viewers Tuesday, Best Ratings Since Lineup Change

    By Noel Sheppard | October 23, 2013 | 18:53


    It looks like Fox News's revised lineup is a hit with viewers.

    On Tuesday, FNC almost doubled the combined total viewers of CNN and MSNBC achieving its best ratings since recent changes that included the addition of Megyn Kelly to primetime.

    According to TVNewser, from 7PM to 11PM Eastern time, Fox averaged 2.534 million viewers. MSNBC had 941k and CNN 397k.

    In the all important demographic of people aged 25 to 54, Fox averaged 454k. MSNBC had 213k and CNN 134k.

    As for the head-to-heads, the numbers certainly won't please MSNBC chief Phil Griffin.

    Greta Van Susteren at 7:00 almost doubled Chris Matthews garnering 1.99 million viewers to his 1.03 million. The demo score was 372k to 231k.

    Bill O'Reilly at 8:00 nearly quadrupled Chris Hayes garnering 3.22 million viewers to his 851k. The demo score was 506k to 178k.

    Megyn Kelly at 9:00 almost tripled Rachel Maddow garnering 2.825 million viewers to her 1.081 million. The demo score was 472k to 250k.

    Sean Hannity at 10:00 more than doubled Lawrence O'Donnell garnering 2.08 million viewers to his 801k. The demo score was 458k to 194k.
