Welcome to Bizarro America
Where Tax cuts are always good for the economy (even though we KNOW, HAVE REAL Empirical EVIDENCE that THEY DON"T- See W, and counter example of Clinton) and cuts in social programs are always bad for the economy (Again, even though WE KKNOW, HAVE REAL Empirical EVIDENCE that THEY DO-see FDR)

Truth is untruth. Nothing more to see here, just keep listening to the pundits on TV, they'll never steer ya wrong!

3. truth is untruth is wheels in wheels.
It is also spending any value in any label.

If you think patriot is good, make a patriot act to spend that thought against the person thinking it.


That is why so many mixed metaphors are created. To try to link opposing ideas, so that a person when supporting one idea, has to, if they believe the 'framing' support some idea against them.


For instance, every usage of metaphor can be long linked with many jumps to turn around its meaning, and point to something bad and good, to try and remove meaning from one, or attach to the other.


My point is if they are steering wrong, they should be removed. Some people think that if a person gets steered wrong, they deserve it.

That is if you can get away with it you deserve it. It is only valuing the ability to avoid wrong steering, and worse, that ability is only taught to some in society,

How many in the media went to School of Americas?

4. And when Repubs are in control they spend like money is no object.
It's only while we have a Democratic president that spending has to be stopped.

6. And there's the "equal sides" of any BS story on the major networks
wherein the republican side is always stated regardless of how insanely false it may be, in the name of "equal time". It's not equal time if the supposed other side of a topic is so absurd that it doesn't even exist.
