Great article even if it is from a Liberal source...
How the American Media Helped the GOP Become An International Humiliation

The US Republican race is dominated by ignorance, lies and scandals. The current crop of candidates has shown such a basic lack of knowledge that they make George W. Bush look like Einstein. The Grand Old Party is ruining the entire country’s reputation.

That Bush can't safely travel to Europe without hassle is just another reminder of how far Europe has fallen. Had he used the US military to crush the Democrats and ordered the justice department to prosecute rape victims for sex out of wedlock, then he would have been welcome to stash half the US treasury in EU banks and Swiss chalets. Or he could have raped a child and been welcomed into polite European society.
I don't know if it ever got to the current candidates. About the forth paragraph, I could no longer take it seriously. You might try venturing beyond huffpo and MSNBC.

In case you missed it this article is from neither one.
Since you are so enamored by the neo-socialist tag, you must love this paragraph.

The toxic Tea Party brew of Old Testament bigotry and hatred combined perfectly with the Koch brothers neo-Bircher agenda to create a neo-Fascist corporatized and glossily worshiped stupidity.

@ Dan, Just wondering how you feel about the drones they are flying around this great State just to find weed. ????? I personally think it's a great big waste of taxpayers dollars, as usual. Looks to me they are obsessed with finding weed. I think they love the prohibition laws so much because they get to steal so much from people because of it, but what really gets my grit is the 50k people in Mexico that have died in this war. And all of the lives it destroys. I'm choosing to rep God on this one because of the loss of life, and the use of the law to destroy lives and steal goods from people when it's already commerce ignored by the lawmakers. This destruction in reputation affects people in every area of their lives. It dictates where they live, and where they work. It's so wrong. They no longer have access to certain things which is so discrimination.
Hugs
ps sorry for the temporary hijack, but it is a hot political topic.

I can't see how the GOP can survive another Presidential campaign with the same people controlling things. It appears they have ALREADY lost the next election and they don't even have a candidate yet.
The triumph of ignorant ideology over intelligence I guess.

I venture everywhere in all forms of media and they have it pretty well right in that article - the U.S. media in general is shockingly poor and Fox verges on criminal. How bad or perverted do you have to be when your audience is MORE ignorant than people who have had NO NEWS AT ALL?
The fact that you didn't read it shows your colours Dan - YOU are part of the problem. Your bizarre rants above give a good demo of the problem the U.S. faces.

Darlin', you know I'm on your side about the weed thing but really - you HAVE to get out more. It seems like weed & God are all you ever post about anymore.
Let's have some opinion ON TOPIC for a change.
