    I know your desire to cover for and try to represent the Democratic party. But deny you are one of them.

    I know very well how Hitler managed to take over. I frankly am ashamed you believe he was fairly elected. And you defend Mao who had the arms to fight Chiang Kai Shek and defeat him and pretend Mao was the guy the people wanted. I could cure you of your belief in Mao by having you meet the Chinese people I talk to somewhat often.

    As a long term former Democrat, a party I deeply studied, I assure you I was not using hyperbole.

    I am sorry for you that you must rush to assist them.

    I have over time on this forum stood for what is right. As a republican name other posters that smack Abe Lincoln silly as I do? We do have others who know the truth, but I smack that man silly.

    Who but me has made a major issue of looking not at what Democrats tell you to get your vote, but follow their actions. See how they love blacks then do nothing for them. See how they love women but run down men who love women, such as our pal Trump. They never run down either Kennedy nor Johnson who were wild ass womanizers. But they pour the pork to Trump.

    Democrats allege they got the blacks civil rights. i call BS on that and mostly due to my studying the actual congressional record of the events of that era.

    Who but me reads the congressional report? Congress can't lie to us when it is there in the report.

    What makes Democrats such liars? I wish I knew the answer to that.

    I watch the regular news daily. Guess how many moments are political news? I mean hard core deep news? The FOX shows try to get people to hear both sides. Hannity and Colmes when I paid for FOX. Even O'Reilly had people arguing with him on his program. And they took on important issues.

    If the program you hate at least has a good representative on both sides, that i can value. When CNN wastes it's day on Trump trashing, do not tell me that is news. At least on FOX you will find others who oppose. Such as Juan Williams and others such as Donna Brazil.

    I watched today as George Stephanopoulos smiles at the loyal Democrats speaking but acts like any republican talking to him is a liar. I know the mans full background. That small man worked for Clinton defending him daily. And he still is a loyal Democrat.

    Why do you suppose the media hires and fills it's staff with Democrats? Even the PBS newshour is managed by a Democrat and she constantly calls on Democrats and we get a load of their Bullpucky.

    Do you actually get it that only 7 percent of the media are republicans? We know that as many as 90 percent are Democrats. And all the news discusses Trump and not just the talk shows.

    So are Republicans too lazy or too stupid to run news organization. They have the money. Has to be one or the other if your claim that the media is 90% Democrats is true.

    I get it. This is such a bad loss for them even though it's great news for the country. They are lashing out and every response is dictator! Hitler! That shows they have no more arguments left in their quiver.

    I completely agree with this entire aspect.

    The more they are against the 2nd amendment, the more powerful it makes me want it. Not so much for me, but for my children and their kids. For my family and the neighbors family.

    They tick me off by allowing the misuse of the1st amendment yet fighting to remove the second amendment.

    I recall how it was in WW2 and believe me the media toed the line with FDR.

    They can't possibly hate Trump THAT much. Hate on that level makes them crap in their own beds. They are simply furious.

    The man you are discussing is non other than Jim Acosta

    See, a snarky one liner.

    Folks, please do not come to me later and say you did not get warned.

    I will remind you of the hundreds of great things that Trump has done.
    1. Fattened your wallet by both slashing taxes and making your dollar work harder.
    2. Freed some of you from stupid regulations. Guess who put those on the books?
    3. Spoke on your behalf back to the Democrat party press
    4. Who knows for certain but perhaps assisted FOX. Some Democrats forced to watch it as a poster alleges could have learned the truth and stuck with FOX.

    I hate the media and their tactics at influencing public opinion. Pick a subject. Say turnip farmers. They demonize turnip farmers, their methods of growing turnips, the dangers of eating turnips, the government subsidies for turnip farmers, the pesticides they use. Run story after story about the evils of turnips and turnip farmers for weeks. Then, run a public opinion poll. Make the questions loaded to push the polls.

    Are turnips bad for you?
    Do you worry about pesticides used to grow turnips?
    Should the government be subsidizing turnip farmers?

    Get desired results. Run a news story.

    Survey: People think turnips may be bad for your health. Concern over pesticide usage. Survey says government subsidies for turnips not needed.

    Republicans run Newmax, and I will not claim they run FOX since FOX admitted to supporting Obama in 2008 (I reported this on the forum at the time) But at least FOX allows a healthy discussion. Republicans run Breitbart as well and perhaps the Drudge Report. Drudge focuses on using the major media to put out news.

    We once had giants who did own the media. But when they died, their children had lost interest in such publications such as the Examiner and Chronicle in SF. The San Jose Mercury in my opinion still is a lot more fair and balanced.

    Being in the major news media appears to me to be almost a calling. Democrats recall how it worked in WW2 and over time decided they wanted those organs.

    Anyway surveys are out there proving that the papers and network TV are operated by a huge majority of Democrats.

    Why do you think the creeps of Hollywood got away with sex crimes for so long?

    When I was young and I mean 21, the media protected Kennedy. Treated him like he was gold plated. A young adonis. I mean if a person is truthful and examines Kennedy, he was killed far too soon to correctly evaluate him. But to the media he was pure gold plated.

    His cheating was not reported until he died.

    I truly am asking you in a very moderate, very mellow and very intrigued voice ...
    Why do you defend Democrats?

    No, they really do hate trump with apoplectic hysteria. It irrational. It is over the top. They have fanned themselves into a passionate outrage that defies reason.

    Righteous indignation, over a demonized opponent, with little to trigger it, seems to be the new direction and tactic of the increasingly militant left. Neither Bush nor Reagan had the levels of passionate hate that targets Trump.

    Welcome to Progresso World.
