Rick Santelli did a segment this morning, on CNBC, that he called 'Under the "Borg" walk' and the crux of the matter was the ability and the reasonableness to question authority, and the power that authority possesses, to interpret 'facts' as they are presented to the mass's. I found his ending quote to be of special interest.

Frederich Nietzsche, "All things are subject to interpretation whichever interpretation prevails at a given time is a function of power and not truth."

This really belongs over on the "Brian Blake" thread...

No sh!t!

I grew up in the 60s. Questioning authority and pretty much everything is second nature. My general lack of respect for authority might have something to do with my not rising to the top of management ranks.

I only breach the subject because the progressives seem to get their panty's in a wad whenever anyone questions the morals or ethics of their annointed leaders.

Conservatives don't, though.


Either that, or they do, and since you are one, you pretend you're different.


Whichever.

Well Dan, in fact I do believe that a different set of standards are applied to conservative leaders by the majority of the media than the standards that are applied to our liberal leaders, only an uninformed dimwit would proclaim otherwise.

You might keep this in mind, assuming there is room for it.
"All things are subject to interpretation whichever interpretation prevails at a given time is a function of power and not truth." Frederich Nietzsche

Respectfully.

Of course you do.



I'm pretty sure that was my point.

Rev, your head must be nine feet up your ample ass.

Hope this helps.

P.S. "You're either with us, or against us!"

The Tood has been drawn out of his cave.

Well, while a trench nine feet long might contain your ego,----,if it were deep enough.

That same trench could not also contain your monkey ass.

Geeze... that's, nine feet....at some point wouldn't his head come out his mouth?

Politics in this country have been ruined by the media and their sensationalism. What makes blackmouth a dumb dumb is that he doesn't get that.

This really is not a political party issue it is a mass media issue. There is no unbiased anything anymore and thus the facts are whatever you make them.

And to your Nietzsche quote, that is truer than ever now, but it doesn't negate that there are facts and a reality. Funny thing is, back during the eight years of GWB, lots of bleeding hart liberals were quoting Nietzsche, I guess it's just a cycle.

I'll vote for whoever I like. No party affiliation here BTW. I often get criticized for being a libtard when I defend Obama, and was called stuff like that defending conservatives in the past. It is sad that people see all in red and blue. Thanks media for tellng everyone what to think and giving everyone what they want to hear.

Pick you channel, pick you color of brainwashing.

Five years ago about 80% of Russians had a favorable opinion of Americans. Today about 80% of Russians consider America the biggest threat to Russia.

The propaganda machine is stronger today than ever before in human history. I don't think peoe even care about the truth any more.

Hitler had it figured out below!

Oh I get it alright, I just thought that the Dark Side was getting a bit boring and could use a bit of a stir. So I made a post that I supposed would unsettle some of the libtards that scurry about in the cracks and cranny's here on the Dark Side. And just as I expected they showed up like rats to cheese, bringing along with them their disease and pestilence.

What a clown.

grayhook greatly overestimates his own cleverness.

Tood, I wanted to make sure that you realized that the humor of you calling me a clown and saying that I overestimate my cleverness was not lost on me.

Well the fact is I do think that the site had been languishing lately, and I don't know of what you speak when you say that I'm "Folding like a house of cards" because I stand by my stated opinions.

I suspect you are wrong about that.

Fish on...

Todd

lol

You whined and people called you a whiner.

Shocking only to a paste eater - like you apparently are.
