If you have half a brain cell, be afraid…be very afraid. However, if you're a terrorist, neo-liberal, or other enemy of the state, you'll love this video, which shows how our future president plans to unilaterally disarm the country, leaving us vulnerable to our enemies.
I know, I know. Neoliberalism is already a term, defined on Wikipedia and all that, but as long as America's definitions about everything are changing, I would like to offer up an alternate meaning to the word neoliberal.
A neoliberal is anyone over 27 who still watches cartoons regularly. Anyone who knows everything about show business and nothing about politics. Anyone who hates the war and has no idea why. Anyone who hates our president and has no idea why. Anyone who is voting democrat and has no idea why.
A neoliberal is anyone who can change their political views like a chameleon depending on whom they are with (the change being so natural that they don't even know that it is occurring). Anyone who thinks Fox news is biased and right wing but has no idea why. Anyone who thinks that other news stations are fair and balanced. Anyone who forwards emails without checking the content on snopes.
Neoliberals are not known for their ideas, but for their adherence to any idea that sounds good. They would rather get on with the important things in life such as iPods and Brittney's crotch shot. These are things worth learning about. Time magazine is taking care of the other stuff without us, and if we want to find out what they are doing, we just have to buy a magazine. But oh, wait – that copy of Maxim looks a lot more interesting.
In short, I guess, neoliberalism is the philosophy that we can unquestioningly trust the media and trust the government because they know better than us, and who are we to question them. It is the idea that we need to fit in with the majority even if the majority are sheep blindly following anyone who calls himself a leader, because it's easier that way.
Besides, sometimes it's hard work to think. Most people don't have that kind of time…do you?

I hope you like baloney America, because you're going to get all you can handle once Barack Obama becomes your president.
According to a story from the AP today, Barack Obama is saying he will have an “unshakable commitment” to
To bolster that commitment, he’s now saying he won't negotiate with Hamas.
Understandably, this doesn’t offer much comfort to Jews. That’s because Obama is still willing to sit down with people who run with the Hamas crowd. People like Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, a man who denies the Holocaust ever happened and would like to see
Once again, we have another blizzard by the media, enough snow to bring back Tony Montana from the dead.
But wait; there’s more. While the AP points out that “Some Jewish voters are turned off by his willingness to negotiate with countries like
Yes, well I’m sure the AP believes that
Back home we have a word for this kind or wholesale tripe vending. It’s called “BALONEY!”
