Do you actually watch Fox, or is your knowledge limited to edited cllips from HuffPo, MotherJones and Jon Stewart?

I used to watch all the talking heads when I was younger...so my knowledge of what they do and how they do it is good...and then I stopped watching all of it (FOX, MSNBC, CNN) about 5 years ago. It was a huge relief. Do you still watch them? RE: FOX on "sanctuary" cities... - SunsetBengal - 07-11-2015 While I do not agree with "sanctuary" policies, I think I understand why they have them in place. (bogging of legal system, monetary resources, etc.) Close the border... Go ahead, spend the money on border enforcement. Then, the amount of spending used to control activity of illegals can at least be factored into a budget as a finite quantity, at the Federal level. This should take a good deal of pressure off of State and Local governments to spend their resources on a problem that can be controlled at the source.

(bogging of legal system, monetary resources, etc.)Personally I think if we're going to do anything at the federal level to help curb illegal criminals coming in from Mexico, it would be to legalize the selling and growing of marijuana nation wide in the US. Cut the demand, and it screws the supplier. Same as prohibition and organized crime in the 20's and 30's. I don't even smoke pot and I know I'll get flamed for my above opinion, but I also think it would cut down on the ridiculous prison population in this country.

I'm not sure how much it will cut down on the illegal border crossings of individuals, but I'm sure it would affect it some.

It was a huge relief. I never really have, but occasionally I see them. Of course, I'm intelligent enough to ignore the obvious BS and don't get my panties all bunched up. I've watched enough to know all of them have opinions with and without merit, some more than others (and often "outrage" is directly proportional to that person's difference of opinion and the BS research they believe supports it). I just find it comical how there are liberal watchdogs who's sole job appears to be to monitor Fox and Limbaugh for something inflammatory, and then their minions lap up the kool-aid and go around starting threads and posting in blogs. I've often thought most of their audience must be liberals waiting to be outraged over something said.

The Blaze, Breitbart, etc. Only the try to pass themselves off as "news". MM and the like simply repost what was said (with their take, of course) and you can watch it for yourself. I do like that some groups hold other responsible when they lie, make up facts, bloviate. In this case its just fun to watch Sean expect a long time supporter to back him up...only to find out he didn't do enough (any) research on the guy he was talking to and "knows". RE: FOX on "sanctuary" cities... - Nately120 - 07-12-2015 I'm a pretty big Giuliani supporter, but what I seem to get from this is that he's almost accusing Hannity of doing a disservice (or at least brushing off his inflammatory assertions) by trumpeting the number of illegals and the amount of crime being committed as sensationalism over realism. If you tell people to demand we deport and convict every guy your neighbors pay to mow your law, or the guys who work in the kitchen of restaurants you aren't going to be as efficient in dealing with the real criminals that are doing those things Hannity wants to scare you with. As with gun control, Rudy's New York policies were just too gray and results-oriented to really fall in line with the all or nothing mentality someone like Hannity has. I'm not even sure why they had him on when they could have found a safer Republican who would say "I agree, we are under attack by criminal illegals protected by liberal policies and we need to put a Republican in the White House who will crack down and keep us safe. In the mean time, buy guns. Lots of guns. The illegal immigrant criminals have guns. You need to own more guns than them." Truthfully, if I didn't look so ethnic I would want to be a right-wing pundit. Seems simple enough. |
