   RedBar,

   Give me a break with that, I have never disagreed with you that both sides play the same games. I have been talking specifically about the size and mindset on govt. I do not know the specifics on the cases you mentioned but how can someone put slavery in a good light? That is like the old expression “Hit!er built roads too.”

   R’s have talked a better game about limited govt but have not always practiced what they preach. But the President is taking the role of govt to a different place than I have seen in my life, though to be fair I was not always paying that much attention.

   @Diamond Dave

   Nice attempt at spinning the situation. However, the fact remains that Fox News has dropped significantly in the key demo for Primetime while MSNBC has increased exponentially in comparison to one year ago and in comparison to 2008 post-election time frame. I’m sorry to hit you with actual facts but that’s how we do things around here.

   Mark2,

   What is the point? I am not a Liberal and I agree with womens’ right to vote, ending segregation, etc. Is it possible that other “conservatives” also feel the same? Maybe the term “conservative” is being used in the same pejorative sense as “liberal”.

   And I think you may need to look again at who voted for/against some of those bills, I think they had more Republican support than you may think.

   No cable news shows on the list.

   Using Steve Perry logic cable news is dying.

   Hi Bobbyv,

   I have to disgree with this point, “I think the deck was stacked more against the workers in the past than it is now” unless you are referring to the Gilded Age. Workers have increased productivity over the past 40 or so years but their wages have stagnated. Also, workers are more insecure with many things that were onced normal standard procedure in the past like having a secure retirement. Over the past 40 years, a slow erosion of a more equal balance in power which allowed them to earn a decent piece of the American pie, has become ancient history. Now income inequality is at its highest with only a very few receiving an enormous piece of the pie and everyone else receiving a sliver to fight over. It is not a good trend at all.

    Hi Faith,

    I threw that comment in and gave no specifics so I fully understand your disagreement. I was referring to the 30′s and 40′s, which in all honesty is really not a good comparison. Over the time period you are citing I agree with you. There used to be more loyalty between a company and its workers. People would stay at the same place for years, now that is much more the exception.

    @Bobby “And I think you may need to look again at who voted for/against some of those bills, I think they had more Republican support than you may think.”

    Again, you’re getting confused with terms Republican and Conservative. Back then many Republicans were actually Liberals and many Democrats were actually Conservatives. In fact, Republicans used to be a Northern Liberal Party and
    Democrats used to be a Southern Conservative Party.

    That was the purpose of the video. To remind you that Liberals were once in the Republican Party. However, times have changed since then. But one thing has remained throughout the history of our Country…Liberals/Progressives always seem to be on the right side of history regardless what party they have been a part of and Conservatives always seem to be on the wrong side of the history regardless of what party they have been a part of.

    Basically, don’t get confused with the Party name, pay more attention to Conservative vs Liberal mindset.

    @Hillbilly “No cable news shows on the list.”

    Sure there was – Jon Stewart and Colbert easily made the list. In fact, Jon Stewart consistently makes the Top 25 list on a daily basis.

    Mark2,

    I read your post and it makes sense. Where I think you go wrong is when you say Liberals always are on the right side. I am not a blind partisan and are not a proponent of the “One side all good the other is all bad philosophy”. Are there no issues ever where Democrat policies have not worked? I did a bit of research after reading your post but I was out and it was late so I did not go too far. I found one article, posted below, that somewhat contradicts you (but not completely, nor would I expect it to since as said I do see your points). This guy could be a total nut but what he says seems reasonable. His point is similar to mine: Neither side is all good or all bad.

    It is going to be the norm for a while. So that you stay busy, I found you a job as body-double in ‘Wipeout’.

    Really? Marks 2′s “joke” went right over your head if you didn’t realize what he was getting at when he pointed that out. Hillbilly always points out when Bill O or Hannitys “news” shows pop up on that list….yet they aren’t “news” shows either. If you are going to point out Hannity’s and Bill O’s entertainment non-news shows when they are on that list, you should point out when The Daily Show and The Colbert Show also pops up on there.

    Thanks. Terry Jacks had some interesting songs on his own. I’ll try to find the one about his dog hit by a car.
