What have we done to America?

Lets explore that 'logic' for a second. Imagine that the press could be so easily bought off. Do you think that any politician wouldn't do so? The inly limit would be how much BBQ you can stuff down their throats, not how many politicians would gladly "buy off" the press at that price. Infinite demand because of such a low price.

So if that is true, then why believe anything in the press. Any press article becomes a lie for the cost of a plate of BBQ. In Texas at a high end BBQ joint that is under $20 for all you can eat. Less than a decade ago we use to go to a all you can eat for lunch at $4.95. The ambiance was essentially uncooled/heated barn, but the BBQ was good (Salt Lick near Austin). So for $1000 could buy off every MSM outlet reporter. Look at the money coming into the campaigns. Heck, Clinton, Obama and McCain could foot this bill out of there personal pockets.

This reminds me of a liberal friend who sent an AP report of the Belgrade riots at the US embassy and said "Here is a terrorist attack on US soil". He was so excited at the idea of being able to pick up a club to bash Bush with, that he didn't think the logic through. If you are going to consider a riot that started a fire that was contained in less than 45 minutes a terrorist attacks, then how many democrats from the 60s would not be considered terrorists by that definition. He of course immediately dropped the line of argument. Hopefully this liberal will also see the basic inanity of his position and drop the argument.
