TNC, is pretty much safe to say that your problem is not with Democrates or Republicans it's with the system. Your basically pointing out Obama because he is in charge right now. And that's perfectly fair. I have a skeptical streak in me too. But my main problem with your side of the argument is that your basically trying to fight the system with bullshit. And that does nothing but make things worse: -you post a bunch of clips that are obviously out of context -at best Glenn Beck is nothing more than the political equivalent of a "monday morning quarterback", and at worst his a quack with the same agenda that all pundits have: to get a higher TV rating, but unlike the better pundits he does a very poor job of hiding it. His only real usefulness is to give The Daily Show material. At least, John Stewart does an excellent Glenn Beck impersonation. -don't blow the Fox News/Obama administration out of proportion. Take a look at Venezuela and what Hugo Chavez is doing there if you want an actual example of the government holding the new media down -"Marxist"? Really? Are we witches too?
At the end of the day you have to admit that politics is basically just a popularity contest. Sad? Yes. Wrong? Maybe. But that's just a fact of life(in and out of politics really). It was like that 1809, it's that way in 2009, and it will be that way in 2109. Openly liking Obama more than Bush, and taking it easier on him doesn't really make you a sheep. It just makes you human. If you've ever made a real world decition based on who you like more, then you've done the same thing too.
The system that we have is not perfect. It's merely adequate, and that's way better than most countries in the world have. It's based mostly on bullshit lies that we tell ourselves every day to make ourselves feel better. Facts and actually theories have very little to do with it. And what affects us directly has very little to do with who is actually put in charge, unless the person in charge is truly a catastrophe, but US has never really had a catastrophic president(No matter how much people complain about Obama, Bush, or Clinton) . And that's not any Illuminati psycho-babel crack pot theory either. I guarantee you that special interest groups have more to say on the Universal Healthcare issue than the president does, no matter how many press conferences and speeches he does.
I guess that's a part of the brilliance(for a lack of better term) of the system that we have too. It's fluky. Few things can influence it. And no one person can really ruining it.

No! I am a coward. Plain and simple! I am unbelievably transparent. A hypocrite, to boot! I am reactionary, rather than reasoned! I only attack Democrats! I am not fooling anyone! I have proven how gullible I am! I frequently post incorrect or credibility-challenged postings! I assume everyone else gullible! In my past I leap onto the backs of Democrats like a bloodthirsty leper! I call anyone who questions my attacks "sheeple," but I'm wrong! Categorically and factually wrong! So much more than anyone else! I have been attacking people for my own faults! My zeal in reposting any wacky conspriracy theory defines my behavior as "sheeple."! I don't think about or verify this stuff before I post it! I take people to task for things they don't even believe! I should defend Obama on FISA more often! What I have posted is a bunch of sycophantic, knee-jerk and alarmist bullshit and I'm mad someone pointed it out! I'm a hypocrite when I call anyone "sheeple" because that's the very definition of what I do! I mindlessly repeat anything I hear from Glenn Beck, hear from Rush Limbaugh, or any random and WRONG link found on the Drudge Report!
Didn't you read the post?
Also I am a teabagging redneck, this is about hating a black man in the White House. This is racism straight up!
