As for the outdated system – we’re already outdated. Health Care, Education… we’re not even using the metric system, for pity’s sake. America needs to modernize and renovate our entire societal infrastructure, not to hold on to the forefront as a world leader, but just to keep up with the rest of the industrialized nations.
If the GOP ultra-conservatives get their way, this country will soon be a backward theocracy whose only purpose in the world theater will be to provide cheap labor and serve as a tax shelter for companies from wealthier, thriving nations.

From BIG JOURNALISM-Kyle-Ane Shiver report …Here’s the important part:

“Fox News also reported yesterday that it had contacted Capitol police to find out whether the incident had been reported or was being investigated. Capitol police confirmed that it was neither reported, nor was it being investigated. These are pertinent facts, which the public has a right to know. Yet, the Washington Post relied only upon the claims made by these black lawmakers and Barney Frank to frame the allegations as established fact.”

“As someone who has been to Tea Parties and ridden the Tea Party Express with both black and white entertainers and speakers, I find these reports to be incredible. However, they do fit both the Democratic Party and the MSM’s standard attempts to equate Tea Party patriots with racism and narrow-minded bigotry of all kinds.”

“Unless those racial and “homophobic” slurs were corroborated by real witnesses, they remain nothing but allegations. However, they are precisely the kind of allegations that fit the MSM’s ideological framework. Just as the Duke rape accuser’s charges fit that framework and were reported as absolute fact for months on end. Just as the Tawana Brawley hoax, ring-led by Al Sharpton, fit that framework and were reported as fact”.

“This list is actually becoming too long for sentient citizens not to connect the dots on the MSM’s rush to judgment and abandoning all pretense to journalistic integrity – just to create news that fits their leftist ideology.”

“Shame on the Washington Post for not reporting honestly today. Those racial slur allegations, which they published as “irrefutable,” are nothing of the sort. They are just allegations. Hearsay. Not back up by any factual evidence whatsoever.”

“Are some black and gay lawmakers above lying about such a thing?

I don’t think so.”

What has made us great is the capability to start businesses, enrich ourselves, and maintain a society that is open to hear everyone. Our main tenents are individualism and freedom. How come we want to copy Canada?

The funny thing is 50,000 canadians a year prefer to pay high prices and be treated here. The mayors from Ottawa and Toronto treated themselves in Boston! Why do we copy instead of creating something new? Are our creative juices gone?

People are using the fear and disarray due to the latest economic shock to create an outdated system… Obama is investing in building roads… Are this what we have become?
