Alan, you must have missed the meeting where you were assigned to be my whipping boy. Ted is someone else's assignment..........but I can't remember who.....

We each have our own perspective on issues as well as what "ideas" should have a priority for rebuttal. Most of the stuff you choose to post is what I consider the typical, mainstream leftist propaganda. You have the advantage of a wide band of what looks like "support" because what you espouse is the meme for most of the print, audio, and video media. Echoed by much of politician purchasing wealthy, academe, and the entertainment industry. You guys have the big megaphone (or echo chamber, you choose) that belies your actual representation as a portion of our society. Your ideas, information, conclusions, whatever you choose to call it, ride the wave of a purported Goebbel's quote, "Tell a lie often enough and it becomes the truth." I know............gee that's harsh! Well let's look at one of my favorites that you pulled out again in the past few days. G.W. Bush destroyed the economy (not an exact quote, but a representation). (just to set a tone of context, this is not intended as a defense of the former Pres. it's to point out the shallowness of that assertion and it's juxtaposition to how Pres. Obama's performance is measured by your side) I have challenged you on this before and you've not replied. No lefty has ever tried to answer the question: If a village idiot (as you guys so often like to portray him.............Is that racist? Hmmmm) from Texas can single handedly exercise the vast powers of the Presidency to destroy our economy, how is it that the worlds most articulate and brilliant Messiah (again, the left's representation) can't wield those same powers and right the economy in just as short order? (I'm sure that's racist!) Yet that is the meme. Surveys show that a wide band of our population believes that, even after four years of the Obama Presidency. True, the numbers are diminishing, but slowly. Yet I have never heard one of you folks from the left tell us EXACTLY what actions the former Pres. did to destroy the economy all by himself. The tax cuts that were enacted along with a Democrat controlled Congress? No, federal data show that actual revenues increased after the tax cuts that cut across the entire income spectrum (NOT just the rich as is often lied about). Oh, then it's an "unfunded" war...............a war approved by Democrats in Congress as well as Republicans.......and Congress "controls" the check book........not the Pres, And since (often not mentioned because it doesn't fit the propaganda narative), Pres. Bush had to deal with a Dem. controlled congress for about half his term, they could have shut off the funding anytime they wanted to..........but didn't. So, those two excuses don't wash....................so what was it that Bush did exactly to kill the economy? Oh yeah, he eliminated regulations....................Really? Show me where the Federal Register EVER shrunk in size for the elimination of regulation(s). And here we are today with The Most Brilliant President Ever, whining himself, and supported by the deeply entrenched communication network, telling us that his abilities to fix the economy are thwarted by those pesky Republicans. You know, the ones who controll only one house of Congress, and have done so for only 1 1/2 of the 3 1/2 years Obama has been in office. And in those first two years, the voters of this country gave Pres. Obama a very strong majority of his own party members in both houses of congress, a situation that, under the powers vested by our Constitution, gives the President the absolute highest level of authority and potential power allowed. President Bush NEVER had that amount of support from Congress................yet you want us to believe he destroyed the country/economy, yet O is powerless?

The point is I don't choose to address things that lean toward what I perceive as conspiracy theory (conspiracies do occur, though not as often as either end of the political spectrum likes to think, so they may sometimes be valid). We have enough debunkable tripe spewed by the left to challenge............and are facing an overwhelming propaganda mechanism..............we should do a better job of focusing our efforts for effectiveness sake.
