The Axis Of Liberal Media Bias
By K. Daniel Glover | May 13, 2009
Conservatives have suspected for years that traditional journalists take news cues from liberal bloggers. Stories about secret, online gatherings between said bloggers and journalists have fueled those suspicions.
Now a Brigham Young University political scientist has confirmed that the axis of liberal media bias runs straight from lefty blogs into the mainstream press. He surveyed journalists about their blog reading habits. Here's the summary (via Instapundit):
[Professor Richard] Davis also queried more than 200 journalists to learn how they use blog content in their coverage of political news. Most journalists were aware of influential blogs on both sides of the political spectrum, such as Daily Kos and Talking Points on the left and Michelle Malkin and Instapundit on the right. Despite equal awareness, journalists spend more time reading posts in the liberal blogosphere.
For example, more journalists know about Michelle Malkin than Talking Points. Yet twice as many journalists actually read Talking Points than read Michelle Malkin.
"When journalists take story ideas from blogs, those ideas naturally will come from blogs they read," Davis said. "These reading patterns suggest journalists may be getting primarily one view of the blogosphere."
Lefty bloggers and liberal journalists undoubtedly will dismiss the finding because it does not, and cannot, prove cause and effect. But the hostile online encounter I had recently with a former co-worker is all the proof I need.
Our discussion started on Facebook when conservative friends of mine criticized Obama in the comment section of an article I had posted to my profile. My colleague took offense that people would mock the president. I agreed that some Obama-bashing has been shameful but wondered why he hadn't voiced the same concern during the eight years of vicious ridicule heaped upon President Bush.
His response: "Mean things were said about Bush, but they do not come close to some of the things that talk radio has said about Obama and his wife!!!" (Yes, he used three exclamation points.)
Doesn't that sound like something he might have read on a liberal blog -- the sweeping generalization about talk radio with no evidence to support it? I thought it did, so I suggested that he expand his information horizons by reading all about the "Bush Derangement Syndrome" documented so thoroughly by Malkin, Charles Krauthammer and others. I was sure my colleague wouldn't continue claiming that Obama has had it worse than Bush if he just saw the evidence.
I was wrong. He promptly cussed me and dumped me as a friend on Facebook.
I've worked with dozens of journalists inside the Beltway over the past 18 years, and I'm glad to report that most of them aren't that close-minded. But my former co-worker's hostility to the mere suggestion that he gather information from sources on both sides of the political spectrum speaks volumes about how willing some journalists are to parrot the talking points of the nation's left wing.

liberal media leads takes cues from the left???
*cough*

1 torture is justified
2 wmd are definately in iraq
3 single payer health care is bad
4 our public school system does not need help
I want examples of the left leading the media
Good handle…Con! Are you completely deft, or just lying to yourself. The MSM have been nothing but leftist, normally television ratings regarding the news are not compared between the Big Three and Cable, but for the past six months, Fox News is crushing NBC and MSNBC, NBC.com combined.
The American people are sick of being lied to on a daily basis, and have stopped watching the news on ABC, CBS and NBC. Their ratings look like a stock chart for GE (who by the way owns NBC and its affiliates).
GE and its CEO Jeffery Immelt has been supplying Iran with equipment for years, ignoring the embargo, somehow I do not believe Iran was buying toasters or washing machines from GE, and what happens to GE and Jeffery Immelt? Nothing, with the exception that he was offered a job as an advisor to the President of questionable birthplace, Barack Hussein Obama, we can use his middle name freely as he used it is his inauguration. On that point, all he has to do to stop what may be a rumor, is to show his actual Birth Certificate, but refuses to do so.
Name one other President who has fired a CEO of a private company?
Pelosi lies again about knowing about water boarding…again, although CIA documents released, she has (as of today) changed her story four times now. She is considering calling for a Truth Commission. Obama said today that he vehemently opposes a Truth Commission, but what is the point, there were four Republicans and four Democrats who were briefed on methods used, and not only knew about those methods, but voted for them 8 to 0.
News breaking as of now; Hank Paulson told the nine largest banks (while setting in a conference room), “You are going to take this money (bail outs) whether you want it or not, and if you do not like the program, you will sign up for the program anyway.” “If a capital infusion is not appealing, you should be aware that your regulator will require it in any circumstance.” This is from a Hank Paulson Memo. Is this our government, or the Mafia?
CNN and Fox News reported the memo yesterday, but not much of the details until it had been vetted, and the MSM never said a word about any of this today.
Liberal media and left blogs, no doubt! I wondered back when Bush appointed Gen. Petraus (sorry if misspelled) just how long it would take a leftist like the NYT’s to come up with the line “betrayed”! These simple minded little farts are just full of chicken bane! I just wonder how the B. Globe will survive, he he! By the way, I do go out of my way not to purchase products that advertise in these super liberal leftest papers or any other media they use to indoctrinate people with their down and dirty lie’s! That fruit that runs his mouth in the G. advocate really shows how a trifle mind thinks and works! I really do not like lowering myself to their level but that (whats his name at the G.A.) most likely does not have the strength to do much more labor then to punch keys on his key board!
Lefty loon bloggers vs. righty rockheaded radioheads? MSNBC vs. Fox News? Everybody’s got their ‘hood. What’s the problem?
It’s what nasty, ideological, partisan, politics-of-personal-destruction, developing very intensely over the last fifteen years, has brought us to.
It’s all about $$$. Marketing selects an audience niche for the medium - and the producers design their programming accordingly - looking to develop marketshare and a profitable bottomline.
Today - the market for “objective” is pretty non-existent - despite the false “protests” of the respective protagonists.
Fox News (Murdoch) (by so called fair and balanced) IS making a killing by straddling the fence and they are full of a bunch of blowfarts! But at least the left wing freaks at CNBC,NBC,ABC,CNN and all the other limb wristed wimps are not fooling no one but them selves! It’s a sad time in America and people are waking from their mindless slumber and willing to change (not the change that “someone used” to get in the office) So you think it is all about the almighty dollar? I know better then that and so do thinking people! Their is a battle of the indoctrinating evil, willing to sacrifice our nation and destroying the minds of the young! It’s not about money at all, for the NEW York Times is a ship full of holes! But their are fingers in that hull! Don’t get me going here for the proof is in the pudding. Their are close to maybe 35 super rich individuals and families that got their grubby little fingers everywhere and are bent into complete global control and yes that means how many squares of t.p. sheets you use to wipe your a$$ ! Sheep are dumb but lamb chops cost money.
I have encountered those same kind of discussions with liberals, much like the one that you had. And the only thing that helps to ease my frustration in the end is to remind myself that Liberalism is indeed a mental disorder !! Seriously !!!!
Re: Post 6;
Your comment:
“...Their (sic) is a battle of the indoctrinating evil, willing to sacrifice our nation and destroying the minds of the young!...”
That’s too far out for me.
Your comment:
“...Their (sic) are close to maybe 35 super rich individuals and families that got their grubby little fingers everywhere and are bent into complete global control and yes that means how many squares of t.p. sheets you use to wipe your a$$...”
I don’t know how many “individuals” or “families” are involved, but I have long believed in “The New World Order” - conceived during the Robber Baron era at the turn of the 19th-20th centuries - the purpose of which was to control the (at least the western) “global economy” - and, I believe, under the guise of “free trade”, “open markets”, globalism and transnationalism that have been actively promoted, especially since the Reagan administration, “they” have had significant success in finally achieveing that objective. I believe American is suffering that transition right now. But - it IS ALL ABOUT $$$. Economics. Finance. Profits.
And since more people generally vote for the “American Idol” than vote in national elections - and since so many younger people are so seemingly obsessively hooked on electronic-based pop culture claptrap - and are seemingly very dismissive of some of the traditional things that Americans once held dear - I tend to agree with you on the “sheep” idea. I’m well past age 45 - and it often seems to me that my and older generations are from a different planet than those age 45 and younger!
Fox News is profitable (as are all the cable newstalk outlets - some more so than others) - but all the other of Murdoch’s media holdings are suffering financially (as are most media companies - ESPECIALLY in the print media) - and Fox News income and profit is running much LESS than last year. For my money, foreign multi-billionaires like Murdoch and Soros are equally bad in their influence on American affairs - but - BOTH are probably in that “group” you mention that’s interested in establishing global economic control.
The economic and political policies of the last 25 years have definitely brought America to a bad spot.
Problem is that there are people at NewsCorp who also work for Time Warner that will be the first to go under the truth serum given by Dr. Gupta at CNN if given orders from Jeff Bewkes courtesy of Obama. And one other who works for COX, but works with Boortz on WSB AM in Atlanta - Clark Howard.
The NewsCorp - Time Warner people are Bernard Goldberg, Chip Caray, Larry McReynolds, Dick Stockton, Kyle Petty, Matt Yocum, Bill Webber, Ralph Sheheen, Nina Easton, Adam Lashinsky, Frank Caliendo, Jane Hall, Charles Krauthammer, Bill Kristol, and Pam Oliver.
Some of the former NewsCorp people that work for Time Warner who would like to do the same thing are Kirian Chetry and Karen MaGinnis.
Their time will come when they have to choose sides.
Diane, no doubt that liberalism = retardation! (sorry for not being pc - na not really) but what is bothersome is the “fairness doctrine” (or ever name they decide to call it) they are bent on squelching the 1st amendment! I was talking with a couple of geekish brainiac friends and they (those that can not stand truth) brought up some interesting ideal thoughts if they do accomplish this feat that how this could (will) back fire on them. We have to understand that what Reagan did and what it was like back in the dark ages! During WW2 the ‘commies’ rid Poland of all radio’s along with electronic parts (tubes,tuners,capacitors etc) so what the Polish citizens do was make all the parts from scratch so that at least they could hear what really was going on in the world around them! Well here we are in the 21st century with a wealth of electronics and with the knowledge and the will we can do what we want! I’m aware (I hope most of us do too) of the three hundred mile long lateral antenna’s and what they are designed for, but people know ways around the park, they will never shut us up!
Yes media is hurting, our jobs are going away for a few low paying green slim jobs that they are hell bent to cram down our throats! 4/15 we had a party, was it because of the moral rot that is destroying our nation, we kill babies before they can take their first breath along with the Chicago politics as usual it was the “hitting our pocket book” that drew us out. I feel that we that calls themselves Christians need to humble ourselves and change from our wicked ways and ask our LORD to help us! I do feel that according to His word (with whats taking place with Israel) that we are on the Home stretch and not much will be done to stop it and i know a lot of you know just what I’m saying for the prophets of old have written exactly to the capitol t what the age that we are in and whats coming next. I am done and I won’t contest but I do know the Creator and anyone can know Him for He is no respecter of individuals and His name Is Jesus! Take care.
Yes, Byron…..I have been thinking more and more about prophecy and it does make me wonder when I stop to read all of the signs that are present, have been showing themselves to us for years, and are getting stronger with each passing day. And at the same time , it makes me so furious when I hear and read all of the crap sandwiches that the our liberal politicians are trying to force feed down our throats and insulting our intelligence to the max ! I know that global warming is a farce designed to destroy capitalism. There has been absolutely no doubt in my mind ! You know, it is as if we are in the days of our own personal Star Wars with Darth Vader and with many of the other goonie players in congress who are bound and determined to set out to totally destroy our country. And they have been doing it for years using such sneaky processes inside our school systems and colleges, and through the main stream media and every other which way that they possibly can ...... and knowing that the majority of the people would be so caught up and busy with Hollywood TV shows, and Football games , and whatever else that Americans do for entertainment , that we would not even notice what they have been doing for years ! Yes, I believe that we are headed for a one world order and one world currency and global TV ! I also believe that this process began back in the 30’s. I know and have heard personally about college professors who have given students failing grades for years if they did not conform to their like mind liberal ideas, and I have seen it happen with kids inside the grade schools for years, as well ! I have watched them take property away from kids as soon as they hit the school room door on their first day of school and teach the kids that their personal property becomes community property and that it no longer belongs to them !! Sneaky process that parents are not aware of because they are all too busy ! But when I have tried to explain these things to liberal and some conservative people ,as well; they just choose to brush it off and bury their heads in the sand and head off to the next soccer game, or foot ball game , or they cannot miss Dancing With The Stars , or shows like Big Brother ! I guess I am feeling more and more , that what is left of my generation really have lived and known the best years in America…...even though we have known and seen many hard times in the past, as well. Anyway, it is all very scarey. And I do wonder where all of these retarded liberal minded people came from who are either taking and allowing the morals of our country to slide down the tubes, and I wonder what they have to gain by joining those evil forces ! Seems like more and more of our so called representatives in Washington just sit on the fence and choose to watch and wait to jump onto the most popular side or to where the money is, instead of doing what is really right for our country. And the liberals that I have met all seem to be so narcissistic. I mean that the rules always seem to apply to others , but never to them ! It’s all so sad. And then they LIE when they get caught, they then hope that we are all stupid enough to believe them ! It’s all such madness !! Jus watch Nancy Pelosi today , as a prime example !! Oh my gosh !! UN…..fricking believable that we have people like her and so many like her representing us and our country !! I just wish we could all wake up tomorrow and realize that all of what has been happening has been a horrible nightmare. And the scarey thing is that I guess we had all better get our crash helmets on because it seems that we are going to need them, if we haven’t already, during this extremely bumpy ride that we are on now. In spite of it all, I do my very best to keep the faith, however, and to pray and to keep in touch with GOD, and to hope that the majority of Americans will wake up. Time will tell, of course. GOD BLESS !!
oh i see the liberal media ooooooooo
if usa had a liberal media .....
bushes aproval of raping kids in front of their parents would be front page evry day until all republican apologists are in gaol awaiting their date with a hot needle
I’ll skip over duufy. Diane you nailed it! If people listen to the libs (including the indoctrinal so called “history channels”) you would think that the “evilutionist” won the “monkey trial”! Far as when this sudden darkness has crept into our nation “founded by mostly Christians” and our constitution w/o out a doubt had Him in mind while being put together. The illuminati’s back in the early 1870’s laid down the steps to break this nation that has seeded the world of His saving gospel which the evil one just can not stand! So these interwoven secret societies which really are not secret but pure Satanic doers really have been busy and they do feel that this is the time to put all they have into the destruction 1st of America and that the NWO can be shoved down a willing world that feel they have to have someone other than themselves to think for them! The Bible Is right and all else is hogwash! Their is only one way and He provided it with the ultimate sacrifice because He does truly loves us (why, that is baffling) but He did create us so why not.
We are living in the times where deception is an art but we also are living in the times where the truth can be found and “never forget” that He (God) is greater then (he) the “created wanna be” that’s in the world! Also remember that in these days that their are proud boasting bloats that think they have the world by the tail which what they really have is a ticket to Hell “which they will deny”
but that still does not change the fact! So lets do what He asked us to do and pray for them for we once were one of them. Times will get tuff for us but it will be plain horror for those that will not heed to the gift that He paid so dearly for! They are targeting Christians because they (we) know the truth and the life along with the way! So Diane just remember to stay with Him and you will find out that the anchor will hold and He see you through these rotten times which may be the end of the age! THE WORLD IS RIPE FOR HARVEST!
Perhaps the so-called bias of journalists reading TPM more than Malkin is because there’s more to read at TPM—which is a full-blown news organization with several employees—than at Malkin’s webiste, which is just an opinion blog with little original news and little content by anyone other than Malkin herself. They are not equivalent websites, something that Glover and the guy from BYU appear to have ignored.
Hello folks. This is Professor Knowitall (Harvard Law School, Of course). Being so very superiorly educated; I have all the answers. Ask me and I will Liberally enlighten you.

Excuse me, I am approaching 60, BUT it is the following generations who are from a different planet, about the worst thing we as children did was throwing rocks at the tin covered street lights. If our parents caught us, we were punished. Our generation, or the ones we gave birth to were by an large good kids who turned into good adults. Our Children were raised with principles, respect, honesty, morals, good work ethic, and humility, my Son is a prime example of those traits.
Too bad Liberal Progressives were not raised the same way, our schools didn’t have drug problems, shootings, disrespect for teachers or their elders, stealing. I got my butt paddled with holes in it, and I deserved what I received. I didn’t like it, but I did not repeat the offense again. It should be brought back.
We were taught both Darwinism and Religion, we said the Pledge of Allegiance with “One Nation under God” and no one filed lawsuits, nor cared. Back then the PTA meant something, we could change policy, required reading, of course that was long before unions run by Progressives.
We now live in a modern day Saddam & Gomorrah, and the Book of Revelations has begun, get ready for it…
Re: Post 17;
Excuse ME ... but ...
“... Excuse me, I am approaching 60, BUT it is the following generations who are from a different planet ...”
That IS what I said, Wes! Read it again!
The ONLY difference was that I inferred that the “older” and “younger” generations were from “different” planets. (As opposed to saying this is the planet of “the older folks” and all the “younger folks” must be from a different planet.)
Your comment ...
“If our parents caught us, we were punished. Our generation, or the ones we gave birth to were by an large good kids who turned into good adults. Our Children were raised with principles, respect, honesty, morals, good work ethic, and humility ...”
This is EXACTLY what I was inferring!
MY comment was…
“...I’m well past age 45 - and it often seems to me that my and older generations are from a different planet than those age 45 and younger!...”
YOUR comment more clearly re-states mine!
Holy S**t! We FULLY AGREED on something! (Maybe.)
You chalk it up to “liberal progressivism” - making it a POLITICAL, conservative vs. liberal thing.
I, on the other hand, chalk it up to a pervasive SOCIAL and CULTURAL “libertinism” that developed with the “anti-traditional values” among certain “protesting” or “counter-culture” youth groups of the late-‘50s-early ‘60s - - who went on to become socially and culturally “libertine” when they became parents - and raised their kids accordingly.
To me - it is NOT a “political” thing. It is wholly and totally a “social and cultural” thing.
“Politics” is NOT the blame and is NOT the tool with which to deal with the problem; libertine social and cultural attitudes ARE to blame - and are the result of the lowering of standards in all social and cultural institutions from the “family” to “religion” to “the community” to “the schools” to “the media” - etc.
The battle has been lost in the family, in religion and in the sharing of community values. It’s NOT an issue of Republican vs. Democrat nor Conservative vs. Liberal nor can the problems be solved there.
Check out the various definitions of “libertine”. (The definition of the word does NOT make it a synonym for the political definition of “liberal”.)
If you get this - then you’ll understand where I’m coming from.
But do social and cultural changes inspire political change? Yes, of course it does, it is what has caused many Americans to blame America for the world’s problems. I am sick of the Hate America people who live here, if they do not like it, then move rather than change our county to mirror other socialist’s countries.
First of all .......Professor Knowitall from Harvard .....Thanks for the laughter !!
——————————————————————-
And Wesley in Dallas .......I lean in agreement with you about how children are raised these days , as opposed to how our generation was raised. As teachers, we have hardly been able to even look at a child the wrong way for bad behavior without the parents running to the school threatening a law suit ! And what does that serve to teach the child ?>> That he can keep getting away with his bad behavior , of course! Parents want to be friends with their children today, instead of being REAL parents. I witness this more and more. It has also gotten to the point where teachers are half afraid to even pat a child on the back these days or to give a hug when a child needs that. And of course there are those liberal minded teachers and professors who are telling the kids that their parents don’t know much , and that they shouldn’t listen to them ! Even liberal politicians are sneaking inside the classrooms to screw up our kids with thier poisons. Did you happen to witness Al E-GORE recently on a secret video tape that a child took inside the classroom ? He was telling the children not to listen to their parents ....as HE knew it all about Global Warming! Reminds me of that Professor up there from Harvard ! Can you imagine telling kids in school NOT to listen to their parents !! It is happening in schools all across America !! Important parts of History are also being sneaked out of the text books , and other things are being sneaked in to the books. Seriously. Just ask Professor Knowitall up there at Harvard! Did you read about the mother in Wisconsin who found an entire chapter in her child’s text book about how wonderful that Obama is ......and there was nothing about McCain ? And the 3rd grade children were instructed to write an essay only about the wonders of Obama !! Now what does that tell you about the brainwashing inside our liberal minded government schools ?? Very scarey! And that is ONLY one example ! It pays to read and to pay attention and to investigate what is being taught to kids these days…..but of course , most parents are busy doing other things, and the liberals in govt realize that and love that, of course ! Americans had better wake up !! As I said, it has been a slow and sneaky process that has been going on for years, hoping that the majority would not notice ! And it seems to be working just fine ! Journalism is dead. GOD is out of the schools. Our president is being too chummy with leaders who do not like America. Capitolism is going down the tubes. Hard working people are paying higher taxes and being punished for their hard work. We are constantly being lied to by our representatives in Washington. Government wants total control over our lives in every way shape and form, including our minds ! Yep. too many people are sleeping in Amercia and they had better wake up! And I do keep praying that it is not too late…..even though I have my serious doubts. And I have always believed in miracles!
Re: Post 19;
Your comment:
” ...But do social and cultural changes inspire political change?...”
Sure! But generally in the opposite direction of what you’re hoping for! From rigid to relaxed; almost never (except under dictatorship) from relaxed to rigid!
In terms of what the far-right-wingers and Religious Right might want socially and culturally - well, that horse long ago left the barn! Even the return of the “traditionalism” that I would like to see - is tantamount to trying to put toothpaste back into the tube.
Obviously, almost nothing is “ironclad” - but style and philosophy of governance (at least in a democracy), is a reflection of the society and culture within which it exists - - but neither democratic governance nor politics can actually and truly legislate personal morality or social and/or cultural mores.
We’ve apparently already had quite a bit of social and political change “inspiring political change” - and most of the posters herein really do not seem to approve of most of those “inspired” political changes!?!?
It often seems like the partisan “Democrats” and the partisan “Republicans” will ultimately have to be replaced by the “Pragmatists” - i.e. - if it WORKS, do it!
In any event, the milk has been spilled.
Is it a Democracy or a Republic for which it stands? I guess that would be in the eye of the beholder! Yes societies do change for that is the case in point (other then the NYT’s) that we are discussing!
The problem is that our young are taught that their are “no absolutes” which even that statement is a oxymoron! Those that pass that on to our young students should drink a cup of hydrochloric acid and then go back and tell them that their really are no absolutes and morality is out the door.! When you have a society that “says whats good for me my not be good for you” just for passing along some advice that could save them from a lot of pain and heartache (history does repeat for back in my day we were told not to trust no one over 30) so here we are again another couple of generations later where they are saying “that this is a country that’s no place for old men” of course they do not want to hear from those with the wisdom to save them from driving off the cliff where the barricades have been removed! It’s sad when you have a couple of generations that think that they (because that’s what they been told) can accomplish anything when the have not been taught true history (history that the blanks have been removed)! What if we were (by some act) all sent back into the mid 1800’s, do you feel that enough people would know and have the patients to make it? No, first they would plunder (at the risk of getting blown away) and no doubt that “they” would try marshal law with great resistances where in order to have order the globalist would find it convenient to impose a secure identity for commerce that they “surprise” already have in place. Oh! All that gold you been purchasing, well they will take it off your hands (you know, it heavy and weighty) and in time it will be a days wage just to feed one or two people. Just look around and we all will see that the loose ends are being repaired for the great machine! Talk to those you know in law enforcement (those over thirty) and the truthful ones that you would call a friend will tell you some interesting things! I’ll admit that some are clueless but those that been around will tell you stuff that the hairs on your arms will go vertical. We, again are in that age that (Biblical prophets of old) have warned us about and we are that generation and we are given a choice and I Choose the One that sacrificed His life for you and me. If you seek Him “He will” let Himself be known and you can know that the relationship is far greater then that of your best human friends! Just ask Him with sincerity and He open a new understanding with a love that’s awesome! And for the NYT’s they have been deceived (the section heads at least) and are dwindling, but maybe George would be kind enough to help them keep their propaganda machine oiled!
Byron,
Well spoken. Oh Yeah! I remember the Chicago Seven and their famous slogan, “Don’t trust anyone over 30”. Those “PAL” are mostly 60 and over now and continue with more slogans that are directed at young minds to alter their thinking. They are not going to change because there is not a speck of Honesty or Love in their hearts. It is a flaw in their genetic coding. “Born a Comrade (Pal), always a Comrade”. There is a coming Civil War coming to this country and as a result, the Comrades will lose as usual due to their flawed and weak thinking.
Hello folks, This is Professor Knowitall again.
Thank you Diane.
Being so very superiorly educated as I am, and being so very deeply in love with my perfect mind, all the time knowing the futility of lesser beings to out think me; I relish the seriousness of the Liberal chatter poluting my pristine ecco-environment.
Like the sun rising over the morning horizon, I bring more light upon every one of my subjects minds.
What cheers me is that every Liberal mind remains in total darkness. Could it be that Liberals are ruled by my little sister the moon? Their darkness makes my sunny rays ever so much brighter.
Oh my brilliance! Oh so much in love I am with my self.
I will shine your way again tomorrow morning. I have to go get this dark mole removed from my rump.
Dear Humble Professor Knowitall…...Just curious….What is your favorite style of teaching after you ride into the college classrooms inside your Trojan Horse? And what poisons to you pour into the brains of our youngsters ? .....Liberalism ? Socialism ? Marxism ?... or Communism ? And here is some food for thought….Perhaps you should consider having the extra large dark mole removed from your brain first ! Afterall, that one is far more annoying and visable than the other one, and it’s making you seriosly dilusional !
Diane,
Go sit in the corner till Nancy relieves you!
Haven’t you been paying attention? Nancy is losing her power and is looking for some serious relief for herself right now. Perhaps YOU should join her in the corner that she has managed to back herself into lately with her lies. You two extremely intelligent people would make a lovely pair ! You are making me laugh out loud again, Professor!
I cannot swallow whole the view of Lincoln as the Great Emancipator.
Diane he is a professing idiot! He’s one of those guys that rather be leave in nothing to create something! You see it strains is brain to be believe in a creator that gave us limited abilities to seeing the full picture, only through the blood bought people of the lamb (Jesus Christ) can have a understanding of the Creator! Of course he (they) can not fathom a “being” that works without being boxed in by time that stumps even the brightest of minds! Such things of God seems foolish to them! Most of these professing professors are so open minded that their brains spilled out! Even though they profess to be wise the Lord (in my words)says that they are as dumb as the rocks (that some)they claim to be gazillions of years old! Their are several intelligent web sites such as <icr.org> that really will help you understand the “creation view point” Their is a huge number of very intelligent scientist that believe and have proof of the Biblical creationist assuring beliefs, in fact in an open forum with an even amount and not slanted panel of Creation and evilution believing scientist the atheist will not challenge for they know that their beliefs are full of holes and full of missing links! They like to make people believe that those who believe in a creator are weak minded and need a crutch! But what the real reason is, is that they are scared stiff of even the mention of a creator because they do not want the students to think in any other way than that of what they worked so hard to indoctrinate them to think as them! Where is the tolerance! Their aren’t any, but I can promise them that the Lord will hold them accountable for each and everyone that they had a hand in swaying these young minds from the truth, again they will say that they do not believe that but that does not change a thing for they will stand in front of Him (w/o a sluzy lawyer like “Clarence Darrow” which knows now that their is no doubt a God) who knows your every thought and act! That will be nothing but eternal terror being removed from all that’s good along with being alone in constant torment! Also it does seem that the door is about to close (as so on the ark) and it will be very tough to come to the saving grace of Jesus. I take no pleasure in this and The Lord for sure doesn’t. Poor little soft spoken Nancy accusing the cia as liars! When she gets her little index finger pointing and swaying while she’s making her accusations we need to remember at least three of those fingers are pointing right back at her! If she has any decency she’d step down and America media should demand it! I’m sure her Dr. has gave her a script of valium or something! Since the libs have nothing but hate in their hearts and they just about have full control it will be amusing to watch them destroy themselves like cats and dogs!
Byron…...I totally agree!! And your comment regarding us GOD believing folks “needing a crutch” reminds me of what Darth Vader said about the people in Pennsylvania…insulting them behind their backs by saying that “those people only know how to cling to their guns and to their religion ” or something such as that ! And look at the church that He went to and how his spirit was fed with the Rev Wrignt “GD’ing America”! Very scarey, and I still cannot believe that anyone in their right mind voted for him ! .....And I wish that Professor Knowitall would read about why Satan was kicked out of Heaven ! His boasting about how wonderful and intelligent that he is serves to remind me of that ! I pray for them all, Byron. I really do ! Have a good weekend and GOD Bless !!
J.C., Go to the most accurate American constitutional web site’s that’s you will ever find and check it out <wallbuilders.com> (David Barton) U could learn a few thing’s if U try!I suppose that “O” would be the one that would be the one?! Oh I know and almost forgot that Lincoln believed in the Republic (which back then it was considered Conservative) - So many people just can not stand the reality that this nation was founded and made a covenant with the God of the Bible! You call red green and ozone a pollutant, the Bible warned us of these times! I guess some would say that limbo jimbo C. was the best president we ever had, Forgive me L. Bains J. was the man!
Someone is getting a lot of material!
Yes, Byron. Wallbuilders is very good ! Hoping that Professor Knowitall will find some time to visit there also !
Diane! These people that make fun of Christians are invertebrates (lacking backbone) for the get their strength in numbers and get joy out of na na na nau, you are one of them! You know, the thing’s that our children does. Just like this global warming, wait I forgot, now it’s called global weather change (has not the weather always changed?) believing that man is responsible for the 1 degree rise for a decade! Have they not heard of of dust bowl days back in the 30’s? Weather is mainly caused by the sun (that’s why were in a lull, cooling) but in the next year or so we’ll (sun) be into a highly active stage and you will not hear the end of it until their butts are so burnt that they will be praying for the rocks to fall upon them only to go to a lot hotter place! That’s why we need to pray and witness for Christ will draw some of them to Himself, but He works through us!
God Bless!
Thank you Byron. Even we Perfect Professors can learn. The Bible is packed full of all the most valuable information obtainable anywhere. The problem is that the Supremely Educated like my self are very much needful of re-education on the word of God. I prayed to the Lord last night that all this worthless trash I have spent the last 55 years polluting my mind wtih be swept away and replaced with the Lord’s word. Housecleaning! Freedom!
Pro. know nothing, it so good to hear from you! Baalzibub is not God! Jesus Christ the creator of all is the King of kings!
The difference between me & you is that I have been saved (bought at a very high price) which does not make me a non sinner but a forgiven one! So I and others will pray for you so that maybe He’ll have mercy on you and bring you to true salvation! Yes Pro. their still is hope but the door is closing fast.
I got things to do so enjoy this day that the Lord has made and you might try going to church tomorrow as long as it is not one of those emergent ones! Seek and ye will find!
Good Day
People I being so supremely educated in the state and privately financed universities for more than 50 years, I have more degrees than anyone else on record. Look in Ripley’s Believe it or Not. I am on page 526. Still yet I am having a very hard time comprehending the word of God. The words in the Bible are meant only for those willing to listen, believe and live a pure life. How can I remove all this worthless Liberal Trash from my polluted mind. I just wan to be free.
Oh my goodness, Professor ! I will continue to pray for you too that you will soon know the joy and freedom that other Christians have realized through the real living Jesus. The most wonderful thing about Jesus is that HE never forces himself on anyone, and that he waits patiently until we decide to invite him in to show us just how real that he REALLY IS !! And then ......talk about a REAL housecleaning experience ! Oh my goodness! It will be like nothing that you have ever experienced in your entire life ! And then you will truly KNOW what living is really all about ! I used to have a very stubborn mind set and nothing was going to ever change me. But then one day, (someone must have been praying for me), I began to wonder what I might possibly be missing if indeed Jesus was really alive and real. And I also reminded myself that just because we cannot see something , doesn’t mean that it doesn’t exist. And so I remembered reading in the Bible : Behold, I stand at the door and knock and whosoever INVITES ME in , I will come in and sup with him ! And so I finally did that. I finally decided to ask Jesus to show himself to me and to come into my heart , and that I needed to know for myself that he was REALLY REAL. I wanted to have my own personal experience with him , and not just believe what I had been taught by humans inside church buildings. And so I talked to him one night in the privacy of my own living room (with the faith of a little child) while sitting in the dark in a favorite chair in my family room. And it wasn’t very long before HE appeared inside my spirit, and he has never left me ! It’s amazing, Professor ! Keep saying your prayers and talk to Jesus with the belief of a little child , as he is your one and only savior, and trust and show that you have faith and Jesus will spiritually show himself to you ! I hope that you will choose not to leave this earth without experiencing this wonderful miracle. Jesus had to physically die for us in order for his spirit to be able to reach ALL who ask to be with him for all enternity. And we need to ask for forgiveness for our sins and ask him to help us and HE does ! It finally all made perfect sense to me ! You will “Know that you KNOW, that you KNOW !” after experiencing His love and presence and forgiveness. I used to think that Jesus was only in Heaven and that we had to wait until we died to have a personal relationship with him there. Some churches just don’t teach us correctly. And they try to scare us into accepting Christ. But, it’s all so easy and so simple, and we can talk to Jesus anywhere any time and he listens lovingly to us. Anyway, what you will experience will be far better than any emotion that you have ever known in your entire lifetime ! And Jesus is not an emotion…...He is really real ! I promise you ! GOD BLESS YOU, PROFESSOR ! Have faith and trust that The Holy Spirit will come to you soon and keep saying your prayers ! 
And I will be remembering you when I say my prayers, as well ! Now you are making me smile, Professor ! And my heart is smiling for you too ! WOW !!
Just let it go, Professor. Break down and cry if you feel like it , and talk to Jesus in private and BELIEVE that he has the REAL power to help you , and HE WILL !! He is our therapist. And He is our Shepherd. And we are his little sheep, and he knows that we are going to stray every once in awhile, but he never leaves us. He is always watching over us and waiting there for us once we have acknowledged him and know him and believe in him ! And he promises to make a place for us in Heaven with his Father once we have acknoweledged him. Now who would want to miss that experience one day ?? THANK YOU GOD for sending Jesus to us, and help us who are ready to experience the joy of knowing him ! We would all be doomed without him, as we all have sinned and we all continue to sin , but Jesus really does help us to do our best to follow him and he feels our hearts with warmth and love and it shines through for others to see. And even though we still sin at times, we are SAVED through HIM and by HIM ! NO greater gift will you ever know in your life time ! Degrees and rewards here on earth given to you by humans don’t hand a candle to the GIFT that GOD has given to us and that is the power of THE HOLY SPIRIT ! Big huggs to you, (((((Professor)))) I wish I could be there with you when you experience the greatest joy that you have ever known and when you finally GET IT .....like so many of the rest of us finally did !! Sometimes we have to go through a lot of stuff here to reach a point where we are truly ready to accept him. It is such a shame that some of us let our stubborn pride stand in the way for way too long , (and I was one of those ) and that some of us don’t realize soon enough what we have all been missing ! Forget the head knoweledge for awhile, Professor and trust your heart ! Smiling here with joyful tears, because I know that you are on your way now !! All GOD asks is that you have the faith of a mustard seed.
Professor ...Heading out to the library today to return a book, and I will take a look inside The Ripley’s Believe It Or Not,(page 526), while I am there !
Diane,
Thanks for Post #20, plus the other comments you and Byron have made. By the way, there is a new Quinnipiac Poll released yesterday Friday the 15th which is very interesting. It shows those who are Pro-Life and Pro-Choice (child killers).
1997:
Pro Life: 40%
Pro Choice: 50%
—————
2000:
Pro Life: 43%
Pro Choice: 47%
—————
2009:
Pro Life: 53%
Pro Choice: 43%
Undecided: 04%
—————-
What I find interesting is the Pro Lifers are ahead regardless of schools offering Birth Control, girls as young as 12/13 years of age can get an abortion without parental consent, not to mention that most all schools now have the right to issue the Morning After Pill.
What if Obama’s mother Ann Dunham, had aborted Barack Obama while in Kenya, who would be president today?
These facts need to be looked into:
1. Obama’s birth father was a citizen of Kenya under British rule. This fact alone means that Obama is not a natural born citizen.
2. There is no legal evidence that Obama was born in Hawaii and much compelling evidence that Obama was born in Kenya.
3. Obama is still a citizen of Indonesia.
Dual citizenship disqualifies one from becoming President of the United States of America.
Why can we not find out which passport he used to travel to Pakistan in 1981, not to mention when he transferred from Occidental to Columbia, he traveled to Indonesia to see his Mother and sister, Maya? Obama attended public schooling in Indonesia until he returned to Hawaii at age 10, but under which passport?
Obama’s American mother, Ann Dunham, separated from her first husband, Barack Obama Sr., in 1963 when the presidential candidate was two years old. Dunham and Obama Sr. are reported to have later divorced. Dunham married Lolo Soetoro, an Indonesian, and moved to Indonesia sometime between 1966 and 1967.
It was not clear whether Soetoro adopted Obama, either in Hawaii or in Indonesia, but there is strong circumstantial evidence that he did as far as Indonesian law was concerned.
In Indonesia, which was under tight rule in 1967, Obama clearly took on the last name of his stepfather in school registration documents. All Indonesian students were required to carry government identity cards, or Karty Tanda Pendudaks, which needed to bear the student’s legal name, which should be matched in public school registration filings.
Following his enrollment at the private Assisi school, Obama attended public schooling in Indonesia until he returned to Hawaii at age 10, but under which passport. According to Indonesian legal experts, it was difficult to enroll non-Indonesian citizens in public schooling.
It’s all such a mystery, Wesley ; and I wish that it could be solved. Thanks for all that you shared. I remember reading some of that those things that you shared; and I also remember viewing his birth certificate on line again recently that HE produced from the hospital in Hawaii. And funny thing > The investigators who have been doing thier best to solve this mystery were able to get copies of many other birth certificates from that same birth year and month, and all of those birth certificates matched each other ..... the same kind of paper, size, color ,foremat…..but Obama’s was very different ! His was not the same size , color, foremat as any of the others ! So isn’t that interesting ? And how can that be explained? And if he is not a legal citizen, I also wonder how many others know this secret, and who have helped him to hide this ? For instance, I can’t help but wonder if Teddy Kennedy (his biggest mentor) knows ?? And I would not be a bit surprised. Would you ? Just cannot help but wonder ! Guess there are still pending law suits in some states regarding this and some states have dropped them, so perhaps we will learn more eventually. You know if this had been an issue with a conservative presidential candidate, the left wing media would have been swarming all over it like flies on stink and would not have let it rest until it was solved! I hope we will eventually learn the real truth, as I am ALWAYS going to wonder. Didn’t his aunt who is still alive and well, also say that Obama was born in Kenya ?? Hmmmmmm. So it is all very strange !!
He has a relative in Kenya who is being secluded by the government there. As for Hawaii, that is not a Birth Certificate, it is a Live Birth Documents, those are usually given to those who have lost their Birth Certificate, or have moved to Hawaii. And “wink, wink, those who lost their passport. The Hawaiian Birth Certificate is similar to other states in the USA, it signed by the delivering Doctor, and has an official embossed seal.
All a Certificate of Live Birth is really good for, is getting into school and often times a drivers license. The Doctor who signed his “Live Birth” was in the 1980’s.
Media news blackouts like this concerning the pasts of some Democrat politicians seems to have started in the 1992 presidential election with Bill Clinton’s not releasing his medical records to the public, which the media gave him a pass on.
Is it true that Hillary’s college thesis, or something related to that, has still not been made public? And the same with her husband?
What makes the situation with Barry more ominous is that, at least back in the 90’s, right-wing talk show hosts used to bring up Clinton’s withholding of his medical records, where now, they won’t even bring up the subject of the birth certificate.
Can anyone explain why Rush, Sean, and company will not touch this subject? Will not at least debate on it?
Anyone?
Republican…...I have also wondered why Rush, Sean and company have not been willing to shed any light on this subject , and it is really strange. I can’t help but wonder if they fear that bringing that subject into the spotlight would start some sort of discrimination upset and revolution in this country that would turn everything upside down like we have never known! What other reason could there be ? I am only guessing, of course. But for some reason, no one in the media seems to be willing to touch that subject with a ten foot pole ! Don’t know what made me think of this today, but I can remember Rose Kennedy being interviewed by the media on TV back in the 60’s (when I was in high school), and she remarked that she wished that her sons had not gone abroad to study socialized govt , and that she wished they thought more like their Dad about Capitolism ; and after that the media NEVER interviewed her again !! But perhaps her children insisted that they didn’t after that ! (Haha!) Who knows ? Perhaps someone higher up has told the media to just leave the birth certificate story alone ! Only wondering and guessing , of course. I would think that if anyone would be willing to bring it to light, it would certainly be either Sean Hannity or Glenn Beck. They don’t seem to be afraid of much, even though their lives have been threatened. So it is all so very strange. I wrote letters to them asking them to shed some light on the subject during the elections, but no response. And they have certainly responded to other emails that I have sent to them, and even investigated a story involving a left liberal teaching school book which I informed them about, so once again, it’s all very strange and I will continue to wonder, as well. Perhaps it’s on their list and they are just waiting on some solid proof before they say anything. (??) Have a good night !
Very interesting, Wesley ! Wonder if that relative knows where Obama was really born ? I was thinking that it was the aunt who is living in the United States (illegally) who slipped and told some reporter that Obama was born in Kenya. And I thought for sure then that someone in the right wing media would take off and run with that ! I think I heard Sean Hannity mention the possibility once, but only briefly during the election, back when he was discussing Rev Wright. And I expected to hear more, but never did.
Diane,
Hugo Chavez is at this very moment destroying the last remaining radio station in Argentina that disagrees with his Athieistic/Totalitarian government.
Hundreds of German scientists and educators fled to Argentina at the end of WW2.
Real nice people there to cozy up to in Argentina.
Can anyone think of who has wined and dined with Baby Hugo lately?
Wesley, Republican, Diane,
This birth certificate issue, for me, serves as the truth-o-meter for the news sources I view these days. I discarded any news programs, sites, and talk radio shows that will not cover this story, who’s legitimacy was well-illustrated by Wesley’s posts 40 and 42.
I would highly recommend referring to columnist and radio talk show host Devvy Kidd, whose column can be read at http://www.newswithviews.com
Read her column archives going back the last few months, and you’ll see that we have a constitutionally unqualified usurper in the Oval Office.
Another great article by Lynn Stuter on this http://www.newswithviews.com/Stuter/stuter154.htm
Professor and Neo-conned. Will be certain to respond to your postings on Sunday. Thanks and have a good night !
Diane “they” have kept you busy! NWV’s, WND where Jerome Corsi has literally exposed the truth that the liberal media such as the NYT’s along with the rest of the usual suspects that made it their business not to let the public know the truth about the country (continent) of “his” that his grandmother was so proud to explain!
Whether your a liberal, conservative, independent or whatever this should make You angry! For if truth is not an option on such matters (where they pick and choose what to report) then their integrity is out the door! News reporting should not be entertainment as it is now! We have to face it that they (media) have played this dangerous game at the expense of all (including themselves) and will only have to get worse because they will have no choice but to continue down this road! I see a day that’s coming soon when no one will believe a single word that they speak!
We have these professing idiots that are bent on stupidity and it is unwise to cast seed on barren soil or rock for they are unwilling to stop and think of the “what if” which is a problem that even the realness of going to Hell they hold on to that rope of sand that one day their will be a day of reckoning! God along with 2/3rd’s of the angels and satan with 1/3rd of the angels (demons) are real! All these so called aliens are nothing but deceiving demonic activity! They problem with Americans in the last few generations is that they do not know the word of God and satan knows this! But “in the name of Christ” we can bring this nation back and we need to rebuke these demonic forces (which just the name of Jesus causes them to shutter and flee)as did Jonah and (which the Lord held off His wrath for another 10yrs until a new king was placed) Nineveh! We do not know Gods timing and that one of the thing’s that satan can not stand for he has no power for that of what the Lord allows hims to have, read the book of Job (oldest book in the bible) also older then any Sunni writings!
Hey, know it less! the knowledge that you so proudly claim just might fit into a fractional Quirk! Read the words of Solomon and you WILL learn that their really is nothing new under the sun, just new generations to pull the same old krap on!
Bryan,
Yes I am a Professing Idiot, but I get $400,000 a year of American’s tax $$$$ to perfect and profess Idiocy to my students and further the Idiocy. There are thousands like me in universities throughout America. Idiocy/Ignorance is a MONEY MAKING RACKET.
The crux of it all is that the people who created the greatest inventions, books etc were never taught by my sort. God gave them their natural talents and I cannot stand the realization of this fact.
I was close to your salary in the private sector, do not think I could teach people something I do not believe in, it would be near impossible for me…personally speaking.
As far as Obama’s B.C., the last time Jerome Corsi went to Kenya, he was held for two days before being sent back out of the country, and told not to return. Perhaps he is getting too close. There is a relative there, but the Government has built a compound around her home.
If true, everything he has done will have to be reversed, should the next president take over, or should keep something already done.
The speech at Notre Dame will be interesting, I wish the Graduating Seniors would attend, not only to take up seats, but walk out on him during his speech.
No you don’t! Yeah you are on well fare bucks, but just a fraction of what you quoted! What degree you might have it most likely came from “temple univ.” and you are about as intelligent of a domesticated turkey! You most likely go to sleep at night imagining that your the king of the world! Have you noticed that the words that you have written are only at the 3rd grade level? Why try fooling yourself when you can not fool others?! Why don’t you step down of that shet.land pony that makes you feel so big and smart “wise up”! I got thing’s to do but it will allow you to go to your dictionary and find some three syllable words to impress the non naive!
Far as I’m concerned talking to a stick in the mud makes no sense and as I said earlier “casting seed on granite brings not a harvest!
Good Day
Wanna be
no PHD!
Wesley, The words that I spoke above was meant for “the professing idiot”!
Wesley, thumbs up! And amen!
Byron RE Your post #31 |
“J.C., Go to the most accurate American constitutional web site’s that’s you will ever find and check it out <wallbuilders.com> (David Barton) U could learn a few thing’s if U try!...So many people just can not stand the reality that this nation was founded and made a covenant with the God of the Bible!”
Not certain why you felt it necessary to include me in your discussions—are to elaborate?
By the way, those around here professing “Christian” commentary ... (your right) however nowhere in that “right” does it suggest you should engage in unprovoked assaults on others.
Yes,Professor. I watched OB slobbering all over Chavez and patting his back like they were good school buddies. I also imagine they shared a private joke about how anxious that OB is to get that Fairness Doctrine through congress, so that he can also regulate radio and TV programs back in the United States ! OMG, He and Harry, Nancy, Barney, and Hillary are ALL so anxious for that bill to become a reality ! Can you imagine how horrible that would be ? They could spread fear over the airwaves, and keep us from hearing the real truth about any further govt corruption, as well as helping themselves to remain in power and to regulate bigger government !
Yes, I remember reading about the German scientists and people going to Argentina. I also remember that after Professor Einstein moved to the United States to teach at Princeton, that he sent visas to many families in Germany to leave there and to come here so that they could be free from the hated Hitler and his army, and big regulated govt. And I remember reading how grateful that so many people were to him. I also remember reading that Einstein absolutely hated government regulated schools inside Germany and that he was soon begging to be sent to a private school, which thankfully his parents did. Einstein had a very wise and good heart, and loving spirit, as well as an intelligent mind. I imagine that he shared with his students at Princeton that they must never allow a BIG govt to make their decisions for them, and to always protect and defend their personal rights and freedoms here. So sad that professors today are not doing the same and teaching students what happened in Germany, and inside other communist countries. We must never allow our children to forget those important times in history , or allow any of that to be dismissed from History books, as Stalin would have ordered. But I think it is happening slowly. Thank goodness we had a president who demanded that pictures be taken of the horrors that happened in Germany. Of course, even with the pictures, we still have those idiots who teach that those things never really happened and who won’t show the pictures!! UNBELIEVABLE that they are allowed to be teaching at all behind closed doors in our colleges.
Castro made the comment that Obama was a bright and progressive new leader. Scarey. I remember reading that both Hitler and Castro were admired and loved in the beginning, when people first knew of them, and that people were looking to them both to save them when they were promising brand new govt to make thier lives better and more FAIR ! And look what happened! Everything is certainly FAIR in Cuba. Everyone is poor. Everyone listens and watches the same regulated radio station and TV shows. No one has any freedom left. And everyone has that delightful free health care ! That must be where all the wealth was spread that they were promised ! I also remember that young Obama’s mentor was his Father’s best friend in Hawaii who was a Marxist and how young Obama loved hearing all about his Marxist stories ! Scarey ! I also remember OB making fun of concerned citizens who were attending the tea parties recently. He smirked and laughed about them waving their tea bags and insisted that THEY should be more concerned about health care, and not the pork spending and higher taxes and debt that our children have inherited. Don’t be concerned about any of that was the message that he sent, because what is more important than government HEALTH CARE ! Socialized medicene is scarey too.
And how about Hillary’s phone call to her favorite Communist mentor ? She sounded like Dorothy concerning herself with the well being of her favorite Uncle Henry who lives somewhere over the Kansas rainbow ! That was sickening and disturbing and she bares watching more now than ever before ! Never have trusted her.
I am also anxious to hear Obama’s poisonous speach today, along with hearing his comedian charm. It will be all about coming together as ONE, no doubt…..and about having open minds to BIGGER GOVT solutions and about handing over our guns and trusting BIG DADDY GOV to take care of us all !.......Lots of Peace and love from our progressive young new leader and community organizer ! I hope I am wrong about him. Perhaps he means well with his beautiful words, and is just not seasoned enough to be a good leader. But one thing that I know for sure is that we don’t need BIGGER govt, no matter who is sitting in the White House and representing us inside the walls of Congress!! That is simply too dangerous !! They are supposed to be working to defend and to protect our personal liberties and freedoms and not to take those away and to ammend our constititional rights !
Wesley and Neo-conned. Thanks so much for sharing the information regarding the birth certificate ! All very interesting reading, and I hope that this mystery will be solved or cleared up soon ! .......... But what if he is really a “Darth In-Vader” with no right to be President ? Then WHO becomes President ? Biden ?? OMG!
If the revealed truth indicates that the Democrats have in fact committed such a heinous criminal act, then the Republicans should be permitted to appoint a Republican President, imediately.
Obama has distructive and malignant beliefs.
A young student said to me the other day, “I voted for Obama because I am an American!” My reply, “No sh-t.”
Hey professor Idiot,
It is best to be an Idiot to the world, all the while being in the Lord’s faithful flock.
All things worldly are fleeting like the seasons and clouds in the sky. The Lord’s love is eternal. Loving the Lord Jesus is the key to Freedom.
I geuss I am a Idiot too. God is the only source of lasting freedom.
Hugo Chavez of Venezuela will be at the Whitehouse to attend a Media Blitz May 25th.
Diane - post #56 - “and I hope that this mystery will be solved or cleared up soon !”
If the mystery you’re referring to is the strange conspiracy of silence from the Right in not even bringing up this topic for discussion at all…I think it’s due to the fact that elite globalist institutions such as the Council on Foreign Relations have their members embedded in high positions of influence in this country; whether it be government, media, entertainment, industry, military, and education. For instance, Rupert Murdoch, owner of Fox News Network, is a CFR member. It’s therefore decided at the top, which stories get covered and which stories get buried.
Here’s a good article written about the CFR and its origins -
http://www.serendipity.li/jsmill/blase_cfr.htm
“But what if he is really a “Darth In-Vader” with no right to be President ? Then WHO becomes President ? Biden ??”
I agree with Professor Knowitall that the Republicans should get the prize. That would mean McCain wins the Presidency and Palin gets the Vice Presidency.
Ever read that story about the college student who was telling her dad that she believed in the liberal way of thinking of spreading the wealth? She told her father that he was too old fashioned and that he should not have any problem with paying higher taxes to give to the govt to spread the hard earned money that he had made and saved through the years to others! And so,after her dad listened to her opinion , he asked her how school was going. She replied that she had been working extremely hard for her grades and never going anywhere and staying up late every night and studying very hard to maintain her excellent grade average. He then asked how her room mate was doing wih her grades. The daughter replied that her room mate was partying ALL the time and rarely studies and just manages to make passing grades. So the Father suggests that his daughter go see her room mate’s professors and to ask them if she could donate some of her good grades to her room mate so that her room mate could be sure to graduate, and to make things more fair for her ! “NO WAY!! ” hollered his daughter. “I work very hard for those grades and no one is going to make me give them away to someone who doesn’t care about working just as hard as I do!”
” Now I think you are finally getting it ! ” replied the Father.

Rick…...Real cute ! I have seemed to have misplaced my German dictionary. Now,translation, please, if you would care to be so daring ???
Dianna ...... Are you fricking kidding me ? Wonder what sort of crazy questions that Katie Couric and Charlie Gibson and the rest of those so called journalists will be asking him ?? Nothing like the intimidating crap that they asked Sarah Palin, I imagine, as no one will want to insult him ! Perhaps Barbara will ask him what kind of tree he would like to be, if he could be a tree ! And I wonder if he will be offered Lincoln’s room ? Only wish I was joking about that !
Diane, Professor Knowitall is sitting on the dictionary so he can reach the diner table.

Diane,
They’ll ask ?‘s like “what brand (flavors) of ice cream do you like king “O”? Has life been nice since you now live in the big house? You can bet they won’t tell him that he looks a lot like Alfred E. Newman! Or why are you bankrupting us? Why all this green s#it now when we can least afford it? Why can not we drill on our own soil for black gold instead of from out enemies?
Maybe all 20 of his teleprompters will go haywire!
Thanks again, neo-con for that great article from the CFR. Things are making more sense to me than ever before ! Everyone should read that. It takes a little time, but it’s very well worth the read ! It certainly sheds a lot of light on certain suspicions that I have had over the years.
My pleasure, Diane.
Since we’re on the topic of Mr. Soetoro and the media bias he enjoys, it brings to mind those inane slogans from his campaign that the media were so entranced with.
I mean, how many nanoseconds did it take to conjure up the unimaginative “Change we can believe in.”? Wasn’t the concept of ‘change’ first brought up in the 1992 election by the Clinton campaign?
And ten to one….the “YES WE CAN” slogan was taken from the ‘Bob The Builder’ theme song.
Regards
Byron,
I would say that the list of questions you mentioned in your post #69 would probably occur on one of their tougher interviews with him.
And if I were Obama, I wouldn’t get too close to Chris Matthews during a one-on-one interview…if you know what I mean.
Neo-conned. Yes ! Very interesting that you mentioned that, as I had thought about the very same things during the campaign ! Funny !!
That trickling that Matthews had, Was that running up his leg or down? Chrissy could be a fairy nice guy! For sure if I was “O” I would keep my distance, unless they are birds of a feather! Man! this getting bad! I’m starting to sound like the freaks on the Huffington Post! I better pray and ask for forgiveness! (I do mean that)
As for MSNBC one of the odd things about Chris Matthews was a speech writer during the Carter Administration. He made such comments during the Obama campaign as “The feeling most people get when they hear an Obama speech…I felt this thrill running up my leg.” He also said, “Obama comes around, and this is the new testament.” Matthews was criticized for his lack of objectivity in covering Obama’s presidential campaign. On November 6, 2008, after the election, he stated on the MSNBC television program “Morning Joe,” that “I want to do everything I can to make this thing work [...] this new Presidency work [...] This is my job”.
Not to mention Matthews’ Co-buffoon during the election, a two time failed sports show host, Keith Olbermann (ESPN and FOX News both fired him), spewing his hate of anything or anyone who does not agree with him. He should have been kicked off the show on that Thanksgiving when Bush snuck into Iraq to have a Thanksgiving Dinner with the troops, Olbermann quipped, “Where the hell was al-Qaeda when he flew in?”
Many who voted for Obama are now asking, “Did we vote for Change or Chains”? I believe we are getting Chains. In the realm of National Security, intelligence is being gutted…again. Last time it was Bill Clinton, who denied Jordan offering Osama bin Laden to extradite him to the US for the first WTC bombing attempt, and the two African Embassy bombings.
At the bottom of this page, you will see who all have filed lawsuits to have Obama’s actual Birth Certificate:
http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=92393
Adding fuel to the fire is Obama’s persistent refusal to release documents that could provide answers. While his supporters cite an online version of a “Certification of Live Birth” from Hawaii, critics point out such documents actually were issued for children not born in the state.
The time has come. The issue can no longer be avoided by our elected officials in Washington. Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi MUST BE MADE TO RESIGN, or at the very least resign as Speaker!
The statement Pelosi made to the American people on April 23 was bad enough:
“We were not, I repeat, were not told that waterboarding or any of these other enhanced interrogation methods were used.”
But when that statement started to unravel, Pelosi’s behavior got downright bizarre; and NOW, Pelosi is insisting that her congressional colleagues, the Director of the Central Intelligence Agency, and brave CIA personnel are ALL LYING…while ONLY SHE, Nancy Pelosi is capable of telling the truth.
In comments laced with paranoia and fanaticism on May 14, Pelosi said, “THEY always mislead US.” By “they” she apparently meant dark forces known only to… Nancy Pelosi. By “us” she seemed to mean… Nancy Pelosi.
And now it seems that with every word she utters, Nancy Pelosi undercuts her credibility, the credibility of the United States… and puts American lives in peril.
It stands to reason that if Nancy Pelosi were water-boarded, it’s questionable that even then would she be able to distinguish truth from fiction.
But, as the old expression goes: “Facts to liberals are like crosses to vampires.”
Even former-Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich called Pelosi’s actions “despicable” and “dishonest” and called for her to step aside as Speaker of the House or for Congress to force the issue.
“I think she has lied to the House, and… I think this is a big deal. I don’t think the Speaker of the House can lie to the country on national security matters.”
When she called the CIA liars, she opened a door she may regret. The CIA holds all the secrets, and could “leak” her to death. It also calls into question of her ethics regarding mis-leading Congress, which is a crime.
Too late. The ‘CHAINS’ have been voted on by a majority of Americans, 4 November 2008. Our individual locations have been Globally Position recorded. We are all being classed and catagorized. Freedom of speech and the right to bear arms is being eliminated. Our finances have been removed from our controll. Communism is here. Agree or die.
I have posted this .pdf file before, from the Department of Homeland Security from Janet Napolitano. According to her, most of us here or anywhere someone is a thinking Christian is a terror concern for the Government. As well if you believe in the 2nd Amendment (Gun Rights), are against Illegal Immigration and a myriad of reasons, most of which are actually our rights, such as free speech. I am sure I am on some list, but I have nothing to hide, nor to be afraid.
If a person is Straight, honest, and a believer in God, It may have to be kept secret as a matter of survival. This has become necessary in the past.
Recorded history shows that ‘Good People’ have had to go into hiding in order to survive the slaughter of political Gangs gone bizerk, countless times..
Re: Post 76;
Your comment:
“... But, as the old expression goes: “Facts to liberals are like crosses to vampires” ...”
Exactly whose “old expression” was that, Wes?
You don’t think that Limbaugh, Hannity, Coulter, Beck - or Bush, Cheney, Rice, Rumsfeld - or ANY “non-liberals” are or have ever been “untruthful” - or guilty of “mangling”, “twisting”, “spinning”, “overlooking” or otherwise “messing with the facts”?
Why do you find it so difficult to just admit you’re a far-right ideologue who - NO MATTER WHAT - will NEVER be open-minded enough to even listen to a potentially opposing viewpoint without immediately damning the messenger as a “liberal”?
AND - by the way - here’s how the current edition of the Random House College Dictionary defines “liberal”:
1.) favorable to progress or reform as in religious or political affairs;
2.) pertaining to representational forms of government rather than aristocracies or monarchies;
3.) favorable to concepts of maximum individual freedom as guaranteed by law;
4.) favoring or permitting freedom of action;
5.) free from prejudice or bigotry; tolerant;
6.) open-minded;
7.) not strict or rigorous.
Apparently, plenty of Americans think “liberal” sounds pretty good to them! Yet, you incessantly engage in your version of name-calling - where you pejoratively make “liberal” seem to be the absolutely worst name that anyone could ever be called?
How do you see “ideologue”?
Bitter, foul and personally nasty partisanship is a serious threat to the future well-being of this country.
Very convenient. A dictionary.
Dictionaries are being revised as we type.
A Liberal is a forger of the links that bind a nation into slavery.
Re: Post 81;
And a Conservative is ...? (At least currently ... and, apparently, only temporarily ... until the next revision?)
(Personally, I think Wall Street and Globalism over the last 25 years are the links that will bind the former American working middle-class into slavery.)
Re: post #80
> Freedom to religion other than Christianity!
> Steal from those that have worked hard for what they have!
> Giving the minority favor over majority!
> Freedom of perversion making “wrong - right” The willful hate of the 10 commandments!
> Tolerating “just the liberal view, morality is not tolerable!
> So open minded that their brains spilled out!
> Slap on the hands to murderers, rapist, and all perversion while slamming those that have peaceful protest at A.clinic’s, preaching the gospel etc.!
One other thing that screwed a thinking of the liberals is the befriending the enemies who stone women that commit adultry along with the intolerance of homosexual activity (they lop their heads off) and as usual history repeats it’s self and their worst nightmare will be total terror and since the Christians that would be their to help will be gone! Remember, you will sleep in the bed that you have made! To bad, the worst that can be done to the Christian (in the atheist eye’s is kill them, but we have the LORD who will welcome us home the alternative is eternal hell which is not dogma!
Beaners #77 post, their was a huge amount of money, duplicate voting, deception and much more that challenging it was struck down! More young and illegals voted in this election then ever in history! My Messiah is the LORD JESUS CHRIST and for me knowing Him I’m considered a enemy! Where is the tolerance? Yes I’ll have my life taken for what I know, but I also know that all life goes on living as the soul leaves the body! I know without a doubt where I’ll spend eternity! The two futures, which one will many choose? As said, the door is closing rapidly and no one knows but He who is in heaven. But Biblical prophets (that so far is 100% right) says that (we) are that generation! Is eternity worth gambling with? Anyone who says that Jesus is a phony should know that that is one thing that He will offer you the challenge, just ask Him and I promise you that He will take you up on that under His conditions only. Why not get to know the creator of everything and be saved from a eternal horror where your worm (what you fear the most) will never die and total void of anything of good. It is sad that something so easy has to be so difficult.
Anita Bryant can give a proper definition of ‘Liberal’.
Liberal: Free from restraint in speech or action; unrestrained by prudence or decorum.
The Oxford English Dictionary, 2009
Never realized there were so many different ways to define “Liberal.” By the way, Professor; would you mind telling us what subjects that you teach, and or used to teach ? Thanks.
Re: TK: I appreciate everyone’s answer to Post #80 from TK, who at times agrees with the rest of us, until I speak.
I also am in favor of another recognized dictionary for Adults, Merriam-Webster, whose definition of Liberal:
liberal
Function: noun
: a person who is liberal: as a: one who is open-minded, **or not strict in the observance of orthodox, traditional, or established forms or ways** b: capitalized a member or supporter of a liberal political party, **a progressive**
————————
And for the 15th time, I DO NOT nor have I ever listened to Rush Limbaugh, or other Talk Radio. As for Coulter, I have to yet read any of her books, therefore I can make no comment regarding her. Your other claims regarding, “Bush, Cheney, Rice, Rumsfeld”, Rumsfeld was terminated by Bush, as for Cheney, and especially Rice, I have yet to hear any solid proof they did anything wrong, we only have the liberal words that they are/were untruthful.
I would remind you of comments made by liberals and Democrats, which have not yet any basis in “claimed” lies regarding the truth from questionable behavior of their own. As for Bush, I have told you (once again) I disfavored several of his stances in the last six months of his presidency, such as bail-outs; otherwise he built up the decimated intelligence Clinton destroyed, and did in all honesty keep us safe after the 9/11, till the end of his presidency. With the original version of DHS, and there were more stoppage of pre-eminent attacks that we are aware of, all of them stopped. Anything more that that is pure speculation. You will no longer draw me into defending myself against your “words”. By posting this comment, we can no longer know whether you are an Obamanite, or Republican.
My tendencies are more directed at current events than definitions at this moment it time, such as Pelosi calling the CIA liars, Director Panetta calling Pelosi a liar, she has already backed off the CIA and now blames Bush (after five versions of her story)...again. It is Bush’s CIA documents which Panetta are protecting.
Recent topical news about Obama taking on Bush’s view concerning the safety of the US, by keeping and using military tribunals at Delta V, a state of the are facility known as Gitmo. Troop escalation in Afghanistan, keeping troops longer in Iraq, Obama also did not rule out the use of water boarding if needed. The Daily Kos called Obama, “Bush Lite”.
To answer your question of me:
“Your comment:
“... But, as the old expression goes: “Facts to liberals are like crosses to vampires” ...”
Exactly whose “old expression” was that, Wes?”
—————-
That expression has been repeated so many times, I actually have no idea who actually came up with the quote, but it is widely used in today’s lexicon.
Diane,
Automatic knowledge is my my method. Every morning as I rise over the horizon my beautiful rays enlighten all minds with my perfect all knowingness.
So, Professor…...Our tax money pays you $400,000 a year (at Harvard??) to “beam” the liberal mindset into the brains of our college students??? Is that what you have been saying? And what do you mean about “Automatic ” ??? You are making me laugh again, Professor. Are you FOR REAL ???
Diane,
Nothing is real except God. All is illusion. One can make a choice; either mold the illusion to work for oneself or to mold it to work against oneself.
Certainly I am not real.
Diane,
If he was a real Professor, he would not make errors such as the one in post #79:
“If a person is Straight, honest, and a believer in God, It may have to be kept secret as a matter of survival. This has become necessary in the past.
Recorded history shows that ‘Good People’ have had to go into hiding in order to survive the slaughter of political Gangs gone bizerk, countless times..”
——————
For one thing, bizerk is not even a word, in ANY dictionary, it is spelled “berserk” not to mention too many grammatical errors.
We are not discussing grammatical errors here. We are discussing “Media Bias”.
Please err no more and stick to the subject matter at hand.
Prof. Knowitall is trying to make a point (in a rather circuitous way)and everyone is dancing around giving any valid answers.
Yes Boston, I am aware of that fact, but there were three off topic comments before mine. There was no intended malicious intent directed toward the Prof. I do however answer questions, just as someone wanted to know what happened to Brian R. Sullivan and his many aliases. Being a monetary contributor here, I turned him in for his vile and at times filthy comments. They checked his IP addresses, and there were five other names he used. We all should contribute to keep AIM alive and well.
Apologies for another off topic remark.
Re: Post 84;
“Anita Bryant”? Why would you think that Anita Bryant would have any factual or working knowledge relating to “liberal”?
Wesley,
However presented, your remarks are always a valid and cohesive parts of the ongoing topics.
We all try to size up the quality of thought of other posters.
It seems Liberal posters as a whole are lacking in quality of thought and post in order to disrupt and attack intelligent discourse at every turn. (That is Media Bias0. They are like children seeking approval and acceptance.
Some posters use multiple computers to disguise their IP address. Lhat is rather Liberal…...
More liberal bias:

Here is an interesting link. I will not look at it because it dims my influence.
Re: Post 87;
I think, relating to your comment,”...“Facts to liberals are like crosses to vampires” ...”, that an equal, item-for-item, case could be made for this version of the comment: “...“Facts to conservatives are like crosses to vampires” ...”
Broadbrush labeling, namecalling, and making bizarre statements like the above to condemn a very large group of people with whom one does not agree or of whom one does not approve sounds, at the very least, like cheap propraganda or, worse, prejudice, discrimination, etc., etc. And, the fact that YOU CLAIM “...but it is widely used in today’s lexicon…” does not make it so. And, even if what you say is the case (which I don’t believe it is) - would you hold that prior bad behavior excuses current bad behavior?
Your comment:
“...we can no longer know whether you are an Obamanite, or Republican…”
I’ve said this before: I’m neither. I’ve said this before, too: I’ve been an Independent for 41 of the 45 years during which I’ve been a registered voter ... I believe BOTH political parties as currently constituted suck ... and my strongest aversion is to extremist ideological partisans of all stripes (and ALL extremism in general). I’ve also said I believe Bush 43 was clearly the worst president in my lifetime and that, comparatively speaking, if ANY president does succeed (as measured in the historical and traditional terms by which all presidents are generally rated), I believe WE ALL succeed.
I’m NOT partisan in political terms - and I intensely dislike the incessant carping and harping, attacking and demeaning, etc., that is led by paid mouthpieces and provacateurs (follow by their respective groups of lemmings), whether DEM or GOP - - since it NEVER results in anything positive or productive.
And, while I’m definitely not personally averse to striking back when struck - I think it’s a great shame that civility, respect for others’ opinions, open-mindedness and a willingness to cooperate and collaborate in finding common-ground solutions to political differences is all but completely absent from today’s political arena.
I do believe that if Bush 43 was a little more “lite” - he probably would have been able to do a better job; and, I’ve said several times, I’ve NEVER been a fan of Pelosi or Reid (nor Boehner or McConnell) because I view all of them as extremists - and - IF it can be shown prima facie that Pelosi recently lied to the public about a CIA briefing several years ago - I would replace her if I had the power to do so. BUT - that’s a matter for the DEMs in the House, the DNC and the Obama administration to act on - and the way the GOPs are incessantly yapping about it - you can bet your pension that DEMs won’t take any concerted action against her. As I’ve also said: it’s all about “party” and “winning”.
The previous four administrations, over the last 28 years, have brought us to the worst spot we’ve been in during my lifetime - and the current president is certainly not going to reverse the backsliding and resolve the problems that got us here in 90, 120, a thousand or even twenty-five-hundred days. He may only be able to stop the bleeding (or not) - but to criticize him for not being able to undo the mistakes of nearly three decades in just four months in office is just more partisanship at its worst.

Bipartisanship for thee but not for me.
Each time a conservative is criticized for a reluctance to compromise and engage in bipartisanship (meaning come over to their way of thinking) I take notice how one sided this argument always is.
Conservatives and Republicans are required to compromise and liberals and democrats sit and wait for them to call uncle. This is a perfect example of why we conservatives are sick of the GOP. They need to take a stand and then stand there.
