How about all the ex-Cuban's who are up in arms down in Miami? Would they be good ones to talk to?
maybe they'll loot and burn Miami

And, they'd laugh at you if you thought Obama was anyway as despotic, tyrannical, totalitarian, autocratic (whatever hyperbolic catch phrase you prefer) as Castro.
Did I make that comparison?

Oh. Sorry. Thought your comment was relevant to the thread. I'll try not to assume anymore. ;)

Future doesn't look bright to those folks that are slaves to the dem party

US-born American? You may be screwed…

Via National Review:

All of the net gains in in jobs since 2007 have gone to immigrants — both legal and illegal — according to a new report from the Center for Immigration Studies, meaning that fewer native-born Americans are working today than were at the end of 2007.

From November 2007 through November 2014, the number of employed native-born Americans has decreased more than 1.45 million, while the number of employed immigrants has risen by more than 2 million (as the immigrant population grew rapidly, too), according to data compiled by the Department of Labor’s Bureau of Labor Statistics.

Yeah, and that tower in Pisa is only slightly askew. :rofl:

Might as well add all that truth coming out of the White House has that good 'ol liberal bias as well.
Oops, I forgot, Obama is a right of center corporatist. :lol: :dunce:

I've read a few of Greenwald's pieces as well, and to call that "investigative journalism" is, well, a slap in the face to real investigative journalists. :tothehand:

BTW, I'm not trying to equate Breitbart with HuffPoop or Strassel with Greenwald. Breitbart is entertaining while Huffy is a joke. Strassel seems to have a pretty regular reliable gig with the WSJ while Greenwald is burning bridges at media outlets all over the world. You're actually right, comparing them is sad.
Ummm...Greenwald primarily reports on civil liberties, the surveillance state, and foreign policy (where he pretty much shares the same views as the Pauls and Pat Buchannon). I could be mistaken, but defending civil liberties and exposing government over-reach might also be things favored by those on the right. :dunce:

The fact he has burned bridges with establishment media is a feather in his cap. There are very few independent journalist left…that's part of the problem. The only people who don't recognize his journalistic chops are media types who've cozied up to power and feel access is more important than truth…and those who follow said media types. :dunce: :nod: :kisswink:
Glenn Greenwald biblography:

2014 No Place to Hide: Edward Snowden, the NSA, and the U.S. Surveillance State.
2011 With Liberty and Justice for Some: How the Law Is Used to Destroy Equality and Protect the Powerful.
2008 Great American Hypocrites: Toppling the Big Myths of Republican Politics.
2007 A Tragic Legacy: How a Good vs. Evil Mentality Destroyed the Bush Presidency.
2006 How Would a Patriot Act? Defending American Values From a President Run Amok.

Greenwald is your typical left-wing socialist when it comes to civil liberties. Your civil liberties end when it goes up against socialized medicine, free-market economics, and private property rights. Greenwald's view on foreign policy is that radical Islam is a by-product of US foreign policy, and that the US is subservient to the agenda of the radical right-wing Israeli government. Yeah, I can picture Paul and Buchanan saying the same thing. :lol:
“As someone who speaks at all sorts of political gatherings every year, I can say with certainty that no event assembles more passionate activism, genuine expertise, and provocative insights than the Socialism Conference. This will be my third straight year attending, and what keeps me coming back is how invigorating and inspiring it is to be in the midst of such diverse and impressive activists,” --Glenn Greenwald
Just your garden variety progressive radical. There's nothing independent nor unique about him. :coffee:

Greenwald has some libertarian points of view when it comes to civil liberties and gets recognized by a Libertarian group. Politics makes strange bedfellows, sometimes. :coffee:

I honestly don't know Greenwald's economic views. Speaking at the socialist workers party shouldn't bother anyone. After all, Goldman Sachs pays Hilary Clinton to speak at their functions and I'm not ready yet to proclaim she's not a capitalist.

But if Greenwald IS a socialist, he sure has made a good chunk of change being so... :lol:

It appears you're not quite sure what that word means.

I don't think anyone cares where Greenwald speaks. He is what he is. I don't see what's the big deal with Clinton speaking at Goldman Sachs either, since half of her husband's cabinet seemed to be Goldman alumni.

He might have made a good chunk of change. It's just a shame he doesn't pay his taxes. :ohno:
