The audience of Fox News contains a minority of moderates and VERY few liberals. 94% of Fox News viewers self identify as republican or republican leaning. In what universe is that a "broad audience"?
Since Fox has the highest ratings of the news networks, it sounds like you are acknowledging that they are moderate by US standards.
Also, Warren Buffet is a leftist. Most of the wealthy elite are.
Wait, so you complain about others not researching what they choose to believe, yet you believe he grew up in Hawaii? He grew up in Chicago. He did struggle with racial issues just like most people in Chicago did.
Your post is a great example for what I was talking about. I assume someone must have told you that and you took it as truth.
I think it is simpler than that. He knows that Amazon is popular. He also knows most of the people that support him will not research anything he says and just take what he says at face value.
It's like the Travon thing. He mentions that Travon could have been him when he was younger. He makes these types of racial comments often. Most of the people that I know that support him honestly assume that he struggled and grew up in the deep south (instead of Hawaii) like them.
This appearance makes him look like he is pro-corporate and pro-middle class without actually doing anything but make a speech. And, judging by your post and people I know, he will fool most people.
It is rare that teachers are grading papers until 9pm. As a parent, I can testify to the fact that my daughter rarely has any written home other than math.
And 64k is a great deal compared to the bullshit 40k citation from the post he was replying to.
64k for working 9 months a year with almost free benefits is a great deal.
About time, these companies that deem you to want to know about their "special offers" are a horrible blight on people who want relevant information. Too bad the U.S. government hates non-corporation people.
Or the U.S. government doesn't want to put the final nail in the U.S. Post Office's coffin.
The statistics are not so clear since if you kill or scare off an intruder, it is unlikely to know if that intruder would have killed you so it wouldn't be recorded as a prevented murder.
I use it for moments I want to share. It's a public journal. I also remember my audience. My mom is listed as a friend as well as my boss. This helps keep me from posting stupid, compromising stuff. People that do post that kind of stuff would find another outlet to make public fools of themselves if there was no facebook.
When my wife pasted away in May, it was extremely useful for contacting her friends and posting rosary and funeral information. It also gave people a public outlet to for them to pay their respects. It meant a lot.
(Of course, our families and close friends, I notified over the phone or in person.)
It does impact me. We are members of society and societies are made up of people and families. For the past 30 or 40 years, we have been chipping away at family values and that has shown a great impact in our world (and before anyone tries to link me to racism, I am really not. I know I can't prove that, but my wife is black - she passed away 2 months ago - and my children are of course mixed.)
I am all for civil unions and I don't have a problem with what people do inside or outside the bedroom, but devaluing marriage does impact me.
I think for income tax purposes, though, we should tax based on address, not marriage. I know many straight people that live together with several children but don't get married so they can maximize their tax returns.

But we are talking about the US, here. It is not center right by US standards (well, maybe by Boston standards.)
That would make as much sense as casting an American for the Doctor
Does that include unions? Does that include groups like The Sierra Club?
It's hard for me to call people spending 5 dollars on a cup of coffee, leaches.

Looks like he was in his mid 20's before he went to Chicago.
middling: moderate or average in size
thats minimum wage where i live. if you dont make 20 or more, you are no where near average.
Not sure what the minimum wage at the unnamed place you live at has to do with Chattanooga.

In San Antonio, we have certain times that we are allowed to use sprinklers to water our lawn and we get charged penalties if we use too much water.
I'll give you all that.
Pay the teachers more but the we should quick hearing the bullshit that teaching is a hire calling or anymore honorable than any other paying job.
It's more and more clear that teaching is not a calling and just another job.
It is rare that teachers are grading papers until 9pm. As a parent, I can testify to the fact that my daughter rarely has any written home other than math.

My 401k is pre-funded. People live longer now. The 20 year pension method doesn't make sense anymore.
We have been doing this for new homes in San Antonio for the past 5-10 years. My house was built in 1993 and it's like this.
Not to similar. The Boy Scouts are not sentencing people "to chemical castration."

Don't worry. It fires a warning shot every hour to let you know it's time to change the battery.

That's why you give prizes to people after they complete the task.
Your post is pretty funny. Thank you for the laugh :)
He may not be as leftist as you, but he is leftist.
You mean our extreme left authoritarian overlord.
You used "our" so I assume you are from the US. By US standards, Obama is not center-right.
I loved it for the game demo cds that came with it.
The burden of proof should be on the challengers of the current laws.
The face that divorce is up and marriages are on the decline is a good indicator of what I said before about the destruction of the family.
