Yeah, the Vast Right Wing Media Cabal Conspirasah is absolutely in control of all of the people in this country, and is the ONLY outlet for sensationalism, fear-mongering, agitprop, and blatant propaganda.

PBS, CBS, CNN, NBC, MSNBC, ABC and HNN are no match for Fox and AM radio. OMG, whatever will happen? We are DOOMED!

Must be how the presidential electi.....wait, WUT?

Opinion based on facts/statistics or gut feeling?

Everyone I see predicting a collapse benefits financially from spreading such talk; Rawles, Beck etc....

Not that I advocate a great deal of this activity, but I think a caution from history is in order: Many people who predicted future events were found to be correct, many times after they were burned at the stake, sometimes literally. Some of the newer ones have learned to profit from the fear and "gut feelings" of others.

My big concern, even while I make fun of them? What if they ARE right? It has happened MANY times before.

I read a lot of true crime books. Last spring I was meeting some friends for a camping trip, but I got to the (public) campground a day before they did. I sat around reading a true crime book about a serial killer. A lone camper on a motorcycle came and set up next to me. I was convinced this man was clearly, undoubtedly, a serial killer. Without question he was going to murder me when the sun went down.

He was just a camper on a motorcycle. He was not there to murder me.

Point being, if your source of media intake consists solely of internet forums (which lean the same way you lean politically), talk radio, Fox News, and the conservative blogosphere - you're going to think we're on the verge of civil unrest and economic collapse at every moment of every day. That doesn't make it anymore reasonable than me thinking a guy on a touring bike in a nice campground came there to murder me rather than fish.

Sorry, I can't take you seriously with that avatar. All I see is a rusty old nova with that guy yelling and beavis and butthead.

I love it when the liberals are so blinded by their own self described superior intelligence they can not see the truth.

Nope, not in control of ALL the people in this country. Just the right wing zealots who believe their own propaganda and now think they have a big secessionist movement going.
Everybody else knew exactly what was going to happen on election day.

Sure, but who? Can you name one legitimate economist, who isn't making a profit from spreading the news, who is actually predicting a collapse? Not a double dip recession or even a depression, but a collapse?

You should make a book of these platitudes.
