and then you followed it up with meaningless gibberish.......what was the point of the disney movie? a single instance of a very general topic? the context is shaky

as for my capitalization, or lack of.....who gives a shit
Did you see the movie? Do you know the topic? Do you know who Ron Dellums was? Do you understand the connection between the CBC and Socialism?

The Disney movie was an emotionalized anti-apartheid screed. Just in time to support the whole anti-apartheid movement, which helped put Nelson Mandela in power in South Africa, along with the ANC, which has since taken the country back toward third world status. Now, you tell me how that kids movie wasn't propaganda wrapped in emotionalist bull--political preparatory fire.
It is just one egregious example of how Hollywood uses "entertainment' to push political memes--and has been doing so for decades.
The only thing shaky about the context is your lack of cognition.

As for your capitalization, well, some things are case sensitive.

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Sinkspur, are you back?

Can't be.  He hasn't post a single news article as of yet.

actually, I made one assumption ..... and I bet it's accurate even though I do not know a thing about you

sanctimonious? hardly.....I just have a functioning brain...... it appears you can't tell the difference
Your assumption was incorrect.  You'd lose your bet.

capitalization or case sensitive......who gives a shit

all movies are one form of propaganda or another.....just like Fox News is every bit as fake as any other news outlet (you have to have your head up your ass to believe otherwise)

but you do generalize and make blanket statements in a manner that suggest a lack of reason

You guys crack me up

I posit that you were already cracked up when you arrived here.  As for your nic, you should probably change it to PinkFlySwatter.... just going by your performance in this thread.   :silly:

 Suppose the answer to this question is no. What do people propose should be done about the mainstream press?  Should we create a government agency that monitors the media? The fairness doctrine? Or, simply accept that all media, I don’t care if it’s Fox news or CNN, has a bias?

I have little interest in streamlining government or in making it more efficient, for I mean to reduce its size. I do not undertake to promote welfare, for I propose to extend freedom. My aim is not to pass laws, but to repeal them.

Just because you can't or don't understand what I am saying, doesn't mean I am wrong. It is merely a comment on your ability to comprehend. The statements were derived from years of observation, examples were given, the connections are obvious. Your dissimulation has been noted. SO, next question, are you the 'blue hammer' come to bash your way around this forum?? Have much fun over at DU or Kos with this?

I understand perfectly what you're trying to say.

I have no idea what either of those places are.

like I said, I'm just trying to help.....trying to ease your pain

Right. But you knew they are places.
You don't capitalize your sentences, a convention often practiced by narcissistic teens to twenty somethings.
After that the ezra pound fantasies go away...
About that last:
I have no pain. I lead a grand life, am well thought of in my field, have a large and wonderful extended family, no money worries, and good health. I am the unworthy recipient of the Blessings of a loving and forgiving God.
In short, I have no pain to ease.
Another of your  assumptions that lands squarely on one end or the other of your spine.
But like a typical liberal, here you are offering to alleviate a problem I don't have, and claiming to 'help'.
Move on, Mother Theresa, there are others far more worthy of your assistance than me, and far more needful.

WTF do you know about my pain? 

As Joe said above, when I want your help, I'll ask for it.  (Spit!)

I'm a generally happy person, too.  I worked a full life, doing what I really liked to do, and now I'm retired. 

Why do leftists think we're all miserable?  What kind of wild fantasies do they have about us on the right?  And, the constant lecturing, giving us all that goodness they carry/spew from on high.  We should all be proud to be lectured by the likes of @BlueHammer

My 'Viking Hunter' High Adventure Alternate History Series is FREE, ALL 3 volumes, at most ebook retailers including Ibooks, Barnes and Noble, Kobo, and more.

In Vol 2 the weapons come out in a winner take all war on two fronts.

Vol 3 opens with the rigged murder trial of the villain in a Viking Court under Viking law to set the stage for the hero's own murder trial.

Lmao, well, how cute is this.  Somebody thinking he's gonna be all edgy by posting on a conservative forum.  Going to shock us and shake us up, huh?

What are you, one of those fossils from Democratic Underground?  Does that place still even exist?

You're going to have to up that troll game.  It's weak.
I say this to Beto fans, Trump fans, all fans of politicians: it is un-American, ridiculous, and dangerous to be a fan of a politician. They aren't pop stars. Support them if you agree with their policies. Criticize them when they go wrong. They are servants, not celebrities. —— Matt Walsh
