But when Reagan did it... Ehh he gets the pass right? Or you know actually trading with terrorists... Or you know aiding fascist guerillas.. Or you know.. Supporting racist regimes... But hey we can just hide that under the rug cuz afterall he is REAGAN!!!

He gets no pass from me. He was just another statist in my book, playing a different suit. No love for Reagan here. Anyone that raises the deficit is no good. If you can't balance a checkbook, you probably shouldn't be at the helm of the ship.

Us pesky Libertarians...diffusing liberal 'logic' bombs like it's going out of style since '79 (actually, since 1776...classical liberals were libertarians by default)

I think it's her condescending tone and complete disregard for facts...she likes using emotion to support argument.

So apparently you guys are purists? I mean if so! Good for you! But ive seen too many "Americans for Young Liberty" pulling the Reagan card or too many "new libertarians" (and yes i call them new liebtarians cuz i see too many "Bush was a libetarian" and "ever since Obama became POTUS im a liebetarian) kind of people, but if you are acutally a good libetarian and more pure then good for you. I will find you and i agreeing mostly on social and civil rights issues (minus a few civil rights issues probably) but dont count me in on economic issues :lamo

Pure as the summer rain....or the driven snow....maybe fiji water. I'm ****ing pure. There.

On most social issues, yeah we are in agreement. Civil rights, I'm a purist (this also includes the second amendment, probably the only spot we disagree on).

So....you're halfway libertarian. ;)
 
She's a typical liberal. She just needs a man.

Good for you. Rare breed. But i appreciate the actual true libertarian here and there... :2razz:

I was thinking more than civil rights act. But yea you bring up a good point i am in favor of more stricter "gun laws" being universal background checks (even tho i am a gun owner :mrgreen: )

So....you're halfway libertarian. ;)

To give you a hint if you taking the political compass test im in bottom left. So yea im very libetrian when it comes to most social issues,
 
It's because we grew up knowing of foxnews as hacks for the right wing. It had already earned that reputation before we had a care in the world for politics. Older viewers sought out the network as confirmation of their longstanding (and apparently not satiated) political views.

If im super bored i watch CNN. I nightly watch PBS.
Every now and then i would watch Madow.
I watch the Daily Show a day late.
Other than that i dont watch any TV "news". If im at my Universities Student Union FOX is always on so when im eating lunch or chilling between class thats what i watch. Other than that i get my "news" form the Papers, a ton of internet News sites bet it "mainstream" or "independent"

It amazes me how many young people think the Daily Show is a news program.

Could mean a lot of things. Young people from what i understand are less interested in politics and tend to vote in lower numbers. They also tend to be more liberal. Fox news is obviously the most conservative political channel there is .Seems as we get older we tend to become more and more conservative. I think you will see a tick up in ratings though come summertime as the elections get closer. wish more would be active all the time. We need to care about what goes on

If people want to really care about what goes on, they wouldn't get their information from any political pornography network, be it Fox or MSNBC. It's all empty calories.

This is really simple. Who would you rather have reading you the news? Her....

If your argument is a flattering picture of Megyn Kelly and an unflattering picture of Robert Downey Jr ... er, Rachel Maddow, then you're not presenting much of an argument.

MSNBC has some hotties on their shows too. Let's not turn this into another "our side has the nicer tits" argument. That's REAL constructive.

Honestly, the REAL ratings are vastly different than the lefty YouTube "reporter" states. Starkly different.

Not to mention, Greg Gutfeld is killing it right now. Libertarianism is catching like wildfire across college campuses everywhere....Greg has the ear of many young people.

Yeah, RONPAUL2012 worked out real well. Greg Gutfeld is a ****ing moron.

If they're "informed" by the DS - something that even Jon Stewart finds ridiculous - then they are indeed clueless.

Not as clueless as Fox News viewers. Did you know watching fox news makes you less informed than people who watch no news at all? I could live under a rock for 20 years and be more informed than a Fox News viewer.

Paraphrasing Ronald Reagan who was talking about Liberals, not DS viewers: "Its not that they don't know anything, its that everything they know is wrong."

Paraphrasing Morton: "You are presenting me with data, I'll respond with nothing. If you can't make an argument, try bull****!"
