In yet another example of how desperately MSNBC clings to race-baiting to appeal to its far-left audience, MSNBC host Toure opted to close the December 16 edition of The Cycle by focusing on last's week's now infamous nontroversy regarding Fox News Channel's Megyn Kelly and comments she made about the commercial representation of Santa Claus being white. Wrapping up his commentary, Toure suggested that Kelly was a white supremacist -- because she "posit[ed] that whiteness is somehow normal and central while blackness is other or different" -- and then proceeded to quip that President Obama is a Santa Claus-like figure because he is a "generous, benevolent black man... who lives in a place that some people think is magical" and who has "given something to each and every American, whether they've been naughty or nice," referring to the president and his health care overhaul commonly referred to as ObamaCare Read more: http://newsbusters.org/#ixzz2ngjNYqxs
The December 23 edition of People magazine looks through old pictures with Barbara Walters as she "looks back on her most memorable moments" in five decades of television interviews. During her 1977 interview with Fidel Castro "I spent 10 days with him, traveled through the mountains and held his gun in my lap," she said. "People thought we had a romance, but we never did."

No smokingâ¦and no pretend smoking either, at least not in NYC. The New York City council just approved a measure that would ban e-cigarettes in indoor public spaces. Because, you know, second-hand water vapor and such. From CBS: The New York City Council approved legislation Thursday to ban the use of electronic cigarettes from indoor public spaces where smoking is already prohibited.

I'm getting to where I like this thread It's getting to be a lot more about mind control If they can keep you pissed off and confused they can control you and I think we all know who "they" are
Pissed off and confused, yes, and especially in the wrong direction. Keep labor divided, racially, by gender, politically, "deserving" middle class vs. "tit sucking parasite" lower class, etc. Any internal divisions will do, the more the better, but the division between money renter and wage earner must NOT be discussed, must be averted--that's class war!.
welcome to the "Party" my friend as long as you are pissed off We own you And I think you know who "We" are
The latest edition of the gay newspaper The Washington Blade displayed what liberal newspapers don't find controversial: "Medicare to examine ban on gender reassignment." In other words, leftists are pushing the Obama administration to subsidize sex-change operations. We're posting enormous deficits, but the "progressives" are always searching for new entitlements. As usual, liberal journalists refer to this lack of "access" to taxpayer money a "ban." Chris Johnson reported: "The document from the Department of Health & Human Services, dated Dec. 2, finds that the reasoning for the ban is 'not complete and adequate' to support denying Medicare coverage for transgender people seeking the procedure."

By Rush Limbaugh: I think the vast differences in compensation between victims of the September 11 casualty and those who die serving our country in Uniform are profound. No one is really talking about it either, because you just don't criticize anything having to do with September 11. Well, I can't let the numbers pass by because it says something really disturbing about the entitlement mentality of this country. If you lost a family member in the September 11 attack, you're going to get an average of $1,185,000. The range is a minimum guarantee of $250,000, all the way up to $4.7 million.. If you are a surviving family member of an American soldier killed in action, the first check you get is a $6,000 direct death benefit, half of which is taxable. Next, you get $1,750 for burial costs. If you are the surviving spouse, you get $833 a month until you remarry. And there's a payment of $211 per month for each child under 18. When the child hits 18, those payments come to a screeching halt. Keep in mind that some of the people who are getting an average of $1.185 million up to $4.7 million are complaining that it's not enough. Their deaths were tragic, but for most, they were simply in the wrong place at the wrong time. Soldiers put themselves in harms way FOR ALL OF US, and they and their families know the dangers.. (Actually, soldiers are put in harms way by politicians and commanding officers.) We also learned over the weekend that some of the victims from the Oklahoma City bombing have started an organization asking for the same deal that the September 11 families are getting. In addition to that, some of the families of those bombed in the embassies are now asking for compensation as well. You see where this is going, don't you? Folks, this is part and parcel of over 50 years of entitlement politics in this country. It's just really sad. Every time a pay raise comes up for the military, they usually receive next to nothing of a raise. Now the green machine is in combat in the Middle East while their families have to survive on food stamps and live in low-rent housing. Make sense? However, our own US Congress voted themselves a raise. Many of you don't know that they only have to be in Congress one time to receive a pension that is more than $15,000 per month. And most are now equal to being millionaires plus. They do not receive Social Security on retirement because they didn't have to pay into the system. If some of the military people stay in for 20 years and get out as an E-7, they may receive a pension of $1,000 per month, and the very people who placed them in harm's way receives a pension of $15,000 per month. I would like to see our elected officials pick up a weapon and join ranks before they start cutting out benefits and lowering pay for our sons and daughters who are now fighting.
