I agree. However, there a number of good left wing radio talkers out there now. Particular Thom Hartman on satelite, and some terrestial stations, and available free on pod cast.

I have generally found the "left wing" truckers/dockworkers to be far more knowledgeable about what the right wing believes that are the right-wing truckers/dockworkers about what the "left" wing believes. The die-hard conservatives (who are often very good, well-meaning people) in most cases have no idea what the left actually believes and have never heard a "left" argument.

And it has changed their coverage. The corp/right-wing take over of America is almost complete. They now have nearly complete control of the media outlets.

It is astounding what is happening in America. When you have ordinary people (who have to work for a living) on here calling Obama a Marxist when in fact Obama is to the right, in many cases, of (Republican) Dwight Eisenhaur and even Richard Nixon - its just amazing -- and more than a little scary.

Apparently civics -- not to mention American history -- is no longer taught in schools. As a great American said, people can not be ignorant and remain free.

I noticed you couldn't adress the issue; only attack the poster's intelligence. I know this would be a novel idea to a Libbie; but if you leave out the cutsie asolescent type insults and actually debate issues, you might actually gain credibility.........

Anytime you want to discuss issues from football to finance, history to Marxism's histrionics;.......bring it on. You know where to find me.

Income taxation is a total failure. The Fair Tax is a workable solution.

Expand your paradygm beyond your few contacts. Many of us used to be Libs; that's why we left......

I must be a bigot to. I was hunting these people in the early 90's and as of 30 th of Nov I will be doing it again. I will be going with Mccain. At least he had the guts to put it on the line. What has the other guy ever done.

As for Sept 11 why don't you tell us why they did it ?
