  • Until I see liberty restored, torture abolished, justice served on the criminal elements of the Corporate elite and the Bush administration... I'll remain sceptical on Obama's "CHANGE".

  • His term might be VERY surprising to supporters... :(

  • Hey, Ratfink, how's that change workin' for you now?

  • I was born with unalienable rights for life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. I don't need no God damned Government, beaurocrat, politician or lawyer. Just because they signed THEIR rights away for THEIR position does not NEGATE the RIGHTS that are mine. Its the Government that desires to manage your unalienbale rights. And they have gone too far.

  • 3. ....It is admitted that you cannot have a good executive upon a democratic plan.

    As far back as the founders my friends...

  • 2. ....THE PEOPLE ARE TURBULENT AND CHANGING; THEY SELDOM JUDGE OR DETERMINE RIGHT. Give therefore to the first class a distinct permanent share in the government. They will check the unsteadiness of the secondCan a democratic assembly who annually revolve in the mass of the people be supposed steadily to pursue the public good? Nothing but a permanent body can check the imprudence of democracy....

  • Alexander Hamilton:

    1. All communities divide themselves into the few and the many. The first are the rich and well born, the other the mass of the people. The voice of the people has been said to be the voice of god; and however generally this maxim has been quoted and believed, it is not true in fact...

  • welcome to the academic world of 'critical realism'.

  • THis is the way 'liberal media' should be. I am not a liberal, but I prefer this to any mainstream media. At least there is some honesty and reality here.

    All of the MSM news channels insult their viewers by treating them like children and purposefully deciding not to broadcast certain facts.

  • welcome to viewer-funded media!

  • you gotta tighten up the pledge drive message

  • What else is new?
