  1. Yes, all 50 of them.
  2. Buzz off you little turd. Perhaps, but he has been flamed by the left on numerous occasions for many of his pieces. He may have suffered a bout of amnesia regarding the McCain/Clinton deal but he certainly is no lefty. He wrote over 50 critical pieces on Hillary and her emails. In today's age of preaching to the choir style of journalism that only reinforces peoples views on topics, he steps outside of that realm and critically covers both parties.
  3. I'm pretty sure he had the Richard Petty vote locked up before the endorsement. N.C of today looks much different than when Mr. Petty was a race car driver. Oh, it's changed a whole hell of a lot. The triangle area along with Charlotte has been moving consistently to the left ever since.
  4. To be fair, Chris Cillizza is one of the most objective down the middle journalists/arbiters I've read.
  5. Or the fact that Rex has consistently had some of the best defenses in the NFL over the past decade.
  6. On a side note, am I the only one who thinks Colin appears to be pretty gaunt?
  7. lol, ok Yes, we shouldn't discount the alt-righty's view when it comes to having a pulse of the minority community.
  8. You don't see that he's an even bigger fat liar than Hillary? You don't see that?
  9. You do realize that the corporate interests of the media are called ratings? And ratings usually means what people want to see. Therefore the corporate media interests intersect with what the public wants. The problem isn't what you are alluding to, which is that corporations or in this case corporate media is some sort of iniquitous cloaked entity that is out there to mind !@#$ the public. Is it the public's fault that has driven the media to cover things the way they do or is it a case of the media conditioning the public to view what they want to show? Considering that at the end of the day, each consumer has the decision to watch a wide variety of programming, at worst it's a little of both. Most journalists are liberals, so most news that is covered comes more from a liberal perspective. FOX was one of the few tv options for conservatives to get their news, and they were able to monopolize that market, whereas the other channels competed with one another. The problem is that you have opportunistic members of both the conservative and liberal media who see that there is a market for a certain form of "news", and then they look to push those views to the extreme which conditions viewers to adopt those views. It's a vicious virtuous circle, think of a feedback loop. Just keeps going round and round reinforcing those views. It's horrible.
  10. What are the cap savings for cutting Felton?
  11. Is Steve Tasker smoking crack, because it sounds like he may be smoking crack.
  12. You know how he says he feels strongly about people of color being oppressed? Despite all that, he wears a t shirt in support of Castro just the other day, who was 1000 times more oppressive to the people of Cuba than the United States is towards their people.
  13. That Kap, he's a good dude, we should all admire his courage.
  14. No offense Nanker, you clearly do not have a pulse of the Latin community, not just in Mexico but throughout the world. Trump is public enemy number one throughout the Latin world, he is THE punchline of punchlines. I agree with Lowry on many issues, immigration, is not one of them.
  15. Whatever good Trump did in Mexico was erased with all the red meat he was dishing out last night.
  16. I do not see the calculus for the Mexican president, there is absolutely no upside for him.
  17. The safe space was breached.
  18. Hopefully ALEC's efforts pay off. It's time the US catches up the rest of the world with having to provide ID's to vote.
  19. Then I misunderstood you. However, there are several courts that don't believe that to be the case. It depends on the makeup of the court and from what I've seen how many different ID options are allowable as proof of ID. The lesser the number the more stringent it is seen as.
  20. The laws of unintended consequences. We see it all the time and certainly not analogous to only race relations but pretty much all broad policy.
  21. I guess. I thought he was getting open a good bit and he had shown that he probably was our best option of a WR to go up and fight for the ball. Plus he's a good blocker.
  22. Greg, you're fishing. The program existed well before they surveilled the Black Panthers or any of the Civil rights related groups.
  23. I think you need to research it. That program was not inspired by racial tensions but rather as a counter to any sort of political movement that they saw as disruptive. The racial component that you speak of was simply a byproduct of what the program encompassed. I'm not agreeing with the program, I'm disagreeing with the premise of your beliefs regarding the program.
