I'm not sure what Berkeley has to do with anything. What I meant was conservatives flock to Fox and talk radio and dominate the markets in viewership. There is no shortage of air time for conservative media. It's nonstop. The networks do an ok job, but they are right of center, mostly. Except PBS.

So, a few colleges don't want a certain right wing speaker. It's inconsequential overall. Conservative speech being quelled? Nonsense.

Palin's First Amendment rights allow her to look like as big of an idiot as she wants to be.

And if you don't like it, she'll shoot you in the face.

poor libs, now that your wrong-about-everything-hero marx has been deemed inauthentic because of his testicles, whom can you point to defend your repeatedly, historically, factually refuted beliefs?

of course, $1,000,000,000,000 is "free" in libspeak

Funny how not a single liberal ever said it would be free which is why there were actual payfors in it (the much maligned tax hikes).

http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/post-partisan/wp/2015/01/27/revised-cbo-outlook-shows-the-damage-wrought-by-obamacare/

On pages 128 and 129, you learn how the cost of Obamacare to the federal government is less than projected. In 2010, the CBO and the Joint Committee on Taxation projected that the ACA “would cost the federal government $710 billion during fiscal years 2015 through 2019.” The agencies now report that “those provisions will cost $571 billion over that same period, a reduction of 20 percent.” The CBO says the reasons for this are many, but it highlights a key factor. “Another notable influence on the downward revision to projected federal costs is the slowdown in the growth of health care costs that has been experienced by private insurers,” the report notes, “as well as by the Medicare and Medicaid programs.”

http://www.bloomberg.com/politics/articles/2015-01-27/obamacare-will-cost-20-less-than-initial-projections-cbo-says

Through 2019, the law's insurance provisions will cost an estimated $571 billion, down $139 billion from the CBO's initial estimates.

But you can keep getting your news from websites that also have headlines like
'Get out of here, you low-life scum!' John McCain goes ballistic on protesters who called for 'war crimes' prosecution of Henry Kissinger during hearing
and
Constipation, bad breath and ruined tastebuds: What flying REALLY does to your body (and how to fix it)
They seem to be serving you quite well. That one about constipation and bad breath might be really helpful I'm guessing.

Surely the President was well-acquainted with New York Times Co. v. Sullivan, decided by the Warren Court more than fifty years ago, vindicating the First Amendment rights of the New York Times Company - a corporation. How is a restriction on who can disseminate their political opinions, based on the identity of the speaker, not a violation of the First Amendment?

A corporation entirely devoted to journalism in a case centered around freedom of the press. I'm going to guess that the NYT editorial board would not have come to Sulzberger's defense had he began insisting that dictating his employee's healthcare choices were an extension of his corporation's "first amendment rights" just as the NYT is not entirely immune from libel.

American Sniper is dominating film media lately.
It's about the war people dream we had,
not the actual war.

I thought the movie was about the moral dilemmas individuals at war face, but we all see the world through our own prisms.

Sophia A. McClennen, the author of Splater's link wrote:
"the film depicts Kyle as a hero and a martyr, the real American sniper was heartless and cruel. Rather than struggle with moral dilemmas as we see in the film, the actual man had no such hesitation and no such conscience."

What are her sources for what Kyle was thinking? She sounds bitter that the movie is doing well.

Since the ONLY reason the Repubs have lost the last two Pres elections is because their
candidates were not conservative enough....

their primary voters will nominate the most reliably extreme, pure, conservative

therefore

look for Ted Cruz to battle Chris Christie, with Christie taking the nomination

and pick Rand Paul as his VP

with Sarah as Secretary of State

And the new Dem or whatever will continue down the same road. That road is paved better than any interstate in the US, however there are virtually ZERO offramps, except the few that lead to the Koch's and whatnot

After the glory of the 2012 primary the RNC could raise hundreds of millions of dollars this time around simply holding weekly debates and selling them PPV to Democrats.

I was going to start a separate thread, Democrat Candidates, but I didn't want to start another political thread (even though it's a pretty interesting topic).

If Hillary runs, with there be any challengers? If she doesn't, what then? Anyway, I really like what Bernie Sanders has to say, and the way he says it.

Here's an excerpt from an article that I found worth the read:

http://www.commondreams.org/news/2015/01/30/sanders-focus-not-clinton-whether-2016-run-could-mobilize-masses


Separately, in an interview set to air on C-SPAN's Newsmakers this Sunday, Sanders makes it clear that his current strategy is less about targeting Clinton and much more about raising, with urgency, the issues that neither of the two major parties have proven capable of addressing: the rise of of the billionaire class, the impact of money in politics, the unprecedented threat of climate change, and a generation of wage stagnation ...
