The Science of Fox News: Why Its Viewers are the Most Misinformed

[Brass]

Quote from Epic:

...Libertarian = Socially liberal and fiscally conservative...

Except that Libertarian Ron Paul has no problem if a restaurant owner chooses not to serve blacks:

http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/1201/08/cnr.05.html

And he believes in little if any regulation. Unregulated capitalism leads to distortion because it ever increasingly leads to the few controlling and manipulating the majority to the point where the majority has few if any rights, including personal safety and reasonable financial security. (The mysterious case of the invisible hand that wasn't there.)

Where is there any evidence that unregulated Capitalism leads to a small minority controlling the majority? Federal corruption doesn't count as that is a legal, not economic issue.

I don't have a problem with racism being legal either, that is part of freedom of belief, no matter how flawed it is.

I have no problem with it either. It's non of the federal governments business.

I'm not going to teach you history while you just sit back. Acquaint yourself with working conditions in the late 19th and early 20th century, and the wild west financial frontier. Seriously, acquaint yourself.

Then that makes you an appeaser of racism, of which I want no part. It also calls into question your notion of equality. You need to decide whether you want to live in civilized society or a Third World variant.

Anybody who gets his news from Fox, ABC, CBS, MSNBC, or CNN is hopelessly misinformed. Stupid people think TV is a good source for news.

Your statement proves that you don't respect liberty, as I suspected. What do you care if someone else is a racist? People have free will to believe whatever they want.. like your belief that Stalin was a right winger. what happened to your Rockefeller example?

Someone posted this on here I believe a while back. It isn't some all encompassing test but it will give you an idea of where you stand: http://www.politicalcompass.org/ I think some people will be surprised where they end up. Brass I'm betting that you are economically liberal and authoritarian on this test. Care to prove otherwise?

I'm perfectly okay with that myself.

If someone doesn't want my business because of the color of my skin, or any other reason that is their right not mine.

Quote from Brass:

So that the South could have continued to enjoy the perks of slavery?

Isn't it amazing that these people who support the re-legalization of racism and discrimination would NOT be the ones suffering at the hands of racism and discrimination?

States rights=klanspeak.
