Please Rave This; If you have total DISDAIN for those in the LSM and their lib followers that will sell out America without any remorse for the future of most giving Country on earth.
I used to wonder what was the deal with all of the raving about Liberal media but that was until I began to open my own eyes and question why we are only getting one side of the story from many of the major news networks. Let's just say I will not be returning to CNN.
What I am able to see now scares me.
1st Amendment to the US Constitution: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."
The Liberal media are fully within their right to present their version of the news as they see fit. Does it make it morally and ethically right? Hell no!
I recently went to one of the major online editorial sites, Huffington Post. After comparing favorable and unfavorable editorials for both of the major presidential candidates this year, I was both saddened and angered to see all positive opinions of Obama and all negative opinions of Romney. To make things worse, all comments are moderated, which lead me to wonder what kind of user responses were passing their checkpoint... Of the few comments from conservatives that I was able to find, many of them were simple ...

Of the few comments from conservatives that I was able to find, many of them were simple angry attacks that could be easily made fun of by anyone indoctrinated into the biased Liberal mindset. I was unable to find an intelligent Conservative point of view so I added my own two cents. After about an hour of waiting my response made it through intact, but I am fairly certain that it will not be paid much attention to. While I cannot say for certain that freedom of speech is being impeded over at Huffington Post, it is painfully obvious that their users are only being fed one side of the story and thus do not have a complete picture of both candidates. I wonder just how many of their users only get their political information from this website and how many of those people will be voting for Obama.
In light of this, Liberal Media can be quite an effective and dangerous tool for manipulating the public opinion and influencing the popular and electoral vote.
I do not like where I see our country headed.
"Censorship directed at political opposition to the ruling government is common in authoritarian and repressive regimes."
Will it eventually come down to this? I sure as hell hope not.
I can honestly say that I fall somewhere between Libertarian and Republican in my political views and I am proud to say that I arrived there upon my own accord.
"THE TOP 100 GREATEST ENEMIES OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA" WILL NOW HAVE TO EXPAND SOON TO; "THE TOP 1000 ENEMIES OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA". *VOTE- *(ROMNEY/ RYAN 2012') -"THE TOP 2 FRIENDS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA!"- [smile],...
PASS THESE ALONG IF YOU FIND THEM WORTH WHILE. i DID. this could save your butt and maybe your kids. make sure you teach them these things, it critical to their personal safety and freedom.
You can call it the LSM, but what it really is the federal government owned stations. They are run like the ones in China and Venezuela. They only report on what the liberal base wants and nothing else. Just like CNN all they got out of the presidential debates was that Romney wanted to close down Big Bird. The fact that George Soros is giving tons of money to PBS so that he can control their content and the fact that Big Bird/Sesame Street is a multibillion dollar business is something they will never report.
FOX is no better, despite many on the right who thing denial is a river in Egypt and begin menstruating when this little tidbit of a fact is brought forth ... http://www.pensitoreview.com/...
The most giving country on earth??? Are you talking about Sweden?
Sorry, but the US is 19th in the world in Official Development Assistance by country as a percentage of Gross National Income, at 0.21%. Sweden on the other hand gives 1.12% in Official Development Assistance of their gross national income.

BTW, the future for the United States is bright and positive. Our GDP is more than twice that of the second most productive country, China.
Debt will be at 30 trillion within a decade or so at this pace. We need major growth and major spending cuts or our GDP will begin to detract again. Business leaving this country continues to be a snowball effect, the defecting will continue to grow exponentially if we don't wise up. We will lose our number 1 spot relatively quickly at this rate. I believe lawsdau was referring to defecit, not a 1 year total budget when she mentioned twice GDP. We are well on our way there.
I agree that the debt needs to be reduced. However, it can't be realistically reduced by spending cuts alone. There has to be revenue enhancement - that means tax increases to go along with the spending cuts.
The only reason why businesses have been leaving this country is because they get tax breaks for sending jobs overseas, and they can reinvest profits overseas and not have to pay taxes on them.
Back in July, the Democrats introduced a bill called the Bring Jobs Home Act, sponsored by Sen. Debbie Stabenow (S.3364) that would have given a tax credit for up to 20% of insourcing expenses incurred for eliminating a business located outside the United States and relocating it within the United States, and it would have repealed the tax law that gave a deduction for outsourcing expenses incurred in relocating a U.S. business outside the United States. Of course, the Republicans in the Senate filibustered the bill, and it fell four votes short to invoke cloture not allowing it to go to debate and to a vote on the Senate floor.
Here’s how the nonpartisan Joint Committee on Taxation described it:
“Under present law, there are no specific tax credits or disallowances of deductions solely for locating jobs in the United States or overseas. Deductions generally are allowed for all ordinary and necessary expenses paid or incurred by the taxpayer during the taxable year in carrying on any trade or business, which includes the relocation of business units.”
The JCT estimated that ending the deduction for moving operations overseas would raise just $168 million over a decade.
In the federal government with an annual budget deficit of more than $1 trillion, that’s what you call a rounding error.
Here is the "Bring Jobs Home Act" that was killed by Republicans in the Senate in July. Please note what the bill does in the summary: "Bring Jobs Home Act - Amends the Internal Revenue Code to: (1) grant business taxpayers a tax credit for up to 20% of insourcing expenses incurred for eliminating a business located outside the United States and relocating it within the United States, and (2) deny a tax deduction for outsourcing expenses incurred in relocating a U.S. business outside the United States. Requires an increase in the taxpayer's employment of full-time employees in the United States in order to claim the tax credit for insourcing expenses." http://www.govtrack.us/congre...
I could take the time and find the changes to the internal revenue code that provides a tax deduction for outsourcing expenses, and I will if you provide the link to the fact checker that claims there are no deductions for outsourcing expenses incurred in relocating a U.S. business outside the United States.
There are no tax breaks for sending jobs over seas, however there are lower tax rates in other countries and less restrictive regulations as well. And reinvesting profits for free of course is a huge draw, one which we should have here as well. Unfortunately the left in this country demonizes rich folks who pay only Cap gains tax and use that to say they don't pay a high enough percentage. The left only wants to raise cap gains taxes which will serve to further discourage cap investment.
The bill you reference would give a 1 time incentive for businesses to relocate back to the US by paying 1/5th of the cost to move back. The business would be rewarded with returning to an overburdensom regulatory environment which they were likely fleeing to begin with, higher tax rates at all levels which they were likely fleeing to begin with, and a future that almost certainly will amount to more regulation and taxation with the current clan in power. All this for whopping incentive of "hey, you only have to pay 80% of your costs to move back". Gee thanks! In addition, the "tax break" you refer to for sending jobs overseas is not a break at all. Its simply an accounting for expenses a business has whether those expenses are overseas or here. businesses pay taxes on their net incom...

Reversing that would be telling businesses that they have to pay a higher rate of taxes for doing business overseas, a penalty if you will. Yes, the spin on the left is clever, it always has been but the characterization of things like this is rediculous.
Lastly, tthe idea that raising taxes is raising revenue id FALSE! Unless your economy is roaring and you are raising rates ever so slightly as to not affect economic activiity, raisning taxes will always serve toreduce revenue over the long haul. The absolute best way right now to spark economic activity here and now when rates are already 0, and the Fed is already printing money by the trillions to pump into the economy, Is to be the most attractive place in the world to do business! You do not make this country more attractive by raising any type of tax right now. The budget can absolutely be balanced without any tax increases! If Growth gets to 8% per year, and unemployment back down to the 4's, the revenue generated to the Gov. will DWARF any tax increase you can come up with.
There are deductions for companies that move their operations and there are deductions for companies that close factories in the US. And companies that make profits overseas does not have to pay US taxes on those profits. http://www.politifact.com/tru...
Haters of America that are so incredibly selfish that they only care what freebies they can mooch off of hardworking people need to be sent to a country where their ideas are already put into practice - like North Korea.
I'm totally disgusted with news media. only thing I watch on tv now is baseball, foolball and some sitcoms.....all the news is rigged so why bother????
Liberal media does more damage to this country than any terrorist could do by corrupting the minds of others with fake news. And the sad part is, more media is more liberal biased than fair and balanced, 8-1. When Univision is doing a better job than the bulk of our own news media in being fair and balanced, something's got to give.
They are propaganda machines for all things Leftist, pretending to be unbiased news organizations. I have zero respect for them and choose not to watch them.
