ITT More anti-progressivism from people who clearly aren't the target audience of _Cracked_. Does nobody actually remember _Cracked_ magazine? It was a juvenile humor magazine that was basically an alternative to _Mad_, so they now grew up, and still do juvenile humor. The stated nothing contrafactual, they just glossed over the facts they couldn't hammer into dick jokes and whoopie cushions. Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar, and not a progressive conspiracy to make you think Cuba doesn't suck so badly.

People, in general, forget that most "progressives" are really socialists who have a self-interest in the system adopting their views. In that way, they subscribe to Ayn Rand as much as any Libertarian. However, they don't admit to self-interest and instead hide behind an altruistic mask of "fairness" that really doesn't exist. In that sense, Progressivism is delusion.

Agree about the news. I usually scan Le Figaro, Der Spiegel, and the UK online news to get a different perspective, and find some stories that never make it to U.S. news media, about things happening in the U.S.!

My point is that we have a majority of young who listen only to their source of choice, and have closed minds with respect to world view.

The frightening thing is that most of the younger generation uses these sources as what they think is real history, sort of like Jon Stewart's show passing for news (funny, but lacking in objectivity).

The worst part about this is that the storyteller is telling his audience not to believe anything they read about the Revolution, so any challenge for them to research for themselves is off the table, because they're being told everything is a lie (including the claims of Monarchial abuse cited in the Declaration of Independence). This is kind of the Progressive version of "conspiracy theory", making anything positive about the beginning of the country suspect.

Right on Stewart, but network new is also NOT objective. Having worked in the profession, I am not sure there is an objective news source. The minute a reporters writes the story, it is contaminated by their view, which is then further altered by the paginator, who drops sentences for space. This is all after the controls on the editors by the owners, who are likely in the Bilderberg camp. All these people likely went to public school, which has not taught accurate nor complete history for year. Yet, look at the Hollywood types who weigh in our our government. I heard Streisand hired someone to tell her what her foreign policy views should be - what, she can't read with all her spare time? TV news is even worse, since it deals in short soundbites, with writers of the news and then readers of the news.

I took this as a way to solicit more ad revenue for the poster.

rozar isn't involved with cracked.com why would you think so?

Progressive satirical comedy with a lot of missing facts. Obviously hasn't read the Declaration of Independence, beyond the first paragraph.

Hello Zenphamy,
I was thinking the same thing. The list of grievances is quite explicit and lengthy.

Oh I know. The worst part is it's funny. At least everyone will die laughing.
