   How will the the reporter ever recover from this brutal assault? I’m now convinced that everything Fox News ever said is 100% correct. All unions are bad and democrats are evil. How can I ever redeem my sordid history of leftism?

   I’m glad I don’t get Faux News on my TV… else it would have been smashed to smithereens long ago!

   Poor Mike Tobin! To suffer such a SAVAGE beating as that! I hope he made it to the hospital in time!
   WHAT BULLSHIT!

   RFK Jr.’s article is (as usual) right on the money.

   Although the Right has revised history and beatified Ronald Reagan (‘Saint Ronnie’ in conservative circles), a clear-eyed reading of actual history shows that in many ways, America’s decline started with him and his misguided policies.

   Large scale homelessness began when Reagan closed all the mental hospitals. Deregulation of EVERYTHING began when he outlawed and crushed the Air Traffic Controllers union. Reagan’s repeal of the FCC’s “Fairness Doctrine” has given us such hateful wingnuts as Rush Limbaugh and Glenn Beck and of course, Fox ‘News’…

   As the proverbial chickens have come home to roost, we’re seeing in stark, sickening detail what wholesale deregulation has wrought.

   To wit:
   We here south of the Canadian border are now living in a Corporatocracy… all but a few members of Congress are OWNED lock, stock and barrel (to use an archaic phrase) by corporate interests. Oh sure, they mouth the standard platitudes, wave the flag and sternly state there ‘heartfelt’ support for God, Country and Family Values… but usually keep their staged ‘news conferences’ short… because they have an appointment with their coke dealer and a hot date with a ‘special friend’ later that evening…

   Gee, THANKS Mr. Reagan and all of your simpering sycophants!

   Canada certainly has its issues, but at least it’s still a DEMOCRACY. Here’s the nightly CBC signoff:

   A bit on the nippy side perhaps, but it looks pretty damn good to me!

   Henry A. Wallace, who served as FDR’s VP from 1941 to 1945, understood Fascism very well. Perhaps MORE importantly, saw clearly that THIS nation is particularly vulnerable to the grasp its tentacles…

   

   Henry A. Wallace Warned of the Coming of Reagan

   As the Ronald Reagan Centennial celebrations continue to pay momage to the departed dear leader, Super Bowl tributes, birthday cake in the snakepit formally known as the U.S. Senate and testaments to his much hyped greatness warbled out by the likes of Sarah Palin and other opportunists it must be understood what Reagan really was. Ronald Reagan was first and foremost a virulent, red-baiting, money-hungry, human-rights abusing fascist.

   Fascist America, in 10 easy steps:

   From Hitler to Pinochet and beyond, history shows there are certain steps that any would-be dictator must take to destroy constitutional freedoms. And, argues Naomi Wolf, George Bush and his administration seem to be taking them all…

   I despair that we may have already gone too far down that dark highway…
