"You (Americans) can't handle the truth."
 
It's instructive to look at how Newsweek caters to the 'right' in its cover subjects. Their market research must show that Americans have reached burnout on war-related topics.

You guys just tag teaming today?

It is interesting. I wonder just what the real reasoning is behind it...

P.S. Double posts here ain't so unusual......

There is a long thread here where various libs are arguing with fint almost exclusively. Snowjob has chimed in, but none of the other conservative clones. I've seen this before, a number of times, and have some other evidence as well: A coordinated effort and communication network amont cons. Fint must not have gotten the memo, or couldn't read it. The memo, of course, asks that cons refrain from engaging in certain discussions. Understandably.

Here, we have clear evidence that the libs have no such clandestine or coordinated strategy.

The term that comes to mind here is "independent." There are independent thinkers here, and there are those whose thoughts are not as freely shaped. This is related to a thread I started a couple of weeks ago in which I point out the genesis of the two words "Conservative" and "liberal."

It's still the highly-coordinated narrow-minded people versus the free thinkers. And it should be interesting to the conservatives that as diverse and independent as the liberal community is, there are certain concepts that we all arrive at, no matter where the starting point is. These are the principles that should make conservatives go "Hmmmmm......." but don't.

Dang it, I knew I was using the wrong Secret Decoder Ring on that latest message...

I would agree with you on some points however if I understand you correctly I would not be so quick to lump all conservatives together... if that is what you are implying. I personally know some conservatives that are free thinkers.

I'll do a search and see if I can find your conservative and liberal thread.

I for one have a mixed bag of opinions some of them liberal, some conservative

That's because Halliburton sub'd out the production of your one-time pads to Kotex...

Yeah, but at least they absorb well...

The Liberals on this Board are bound up in their own myopic dogma. Not one of them has shown that they could think their way out of a wet paper bag.

On the other hand the Conservatives are so proud of their own bowel movements that they parade it around as if it is Gods gift to man.

I don't think you can assume that Americans not on the 'right' enjoy reading about America's defeat. They probably changed the cover because Americans generally aren't as interested in foreign affairs as they are domestic news.

Jeff Higgins 09-27-2006 10:28 AM

So who is the lady on the cover, and why would I care about her life in pictures anyway?

She's one of the most famous living American photographers. Probably has done more Rolling Stone covers than anyone.

Why or why not that would interest you is something I couldn't possibly predict.

That is amazing...but the truth of the matter is that one conservative against many liberals...is just a fair fight (unless the one is Mul..and he'd cut you to pieces)...so why waste the energy. You were certainly getting the worst of it I believe. Of course, it helps to have facts on one's side in any debate. You libs should try it some time.

Your circle jerk has gotten so small that you are just whipping yourself now.

Your typically fact-filled, insightful post serves to reinforce my point rather well. I'll bet that one is a winner with other 6th graders. Thanks.

Clearly they are catering to their differing audiences. One for Americans and one for liberals and those throughout the world where there is a significant number that hate Americans and love to see any fabricated BS that makes the US look bad...like Castro, Chavez, Bin Laden, Democrats, etc.

Most Dems are on the record as saying Afganistan was the right thing to do.

Including most of the people on this thread (and myself), and the Dem chairperson Howard Dean, but we all get branded anti-war somehow.

We should of went in there stronger and got the job done. However troops and resources were needed elsewhere, right?
