I usually get a good laugh out of the absurdity of conservative voters loudly protesting that they are the ones who really care about civil liberties, the Constitution, and democracy, while everyone else is trying to destroy it.

A disheartening but not unsurprising development surrounding the Occupy movement has been the emergence of people who support the kind of brutality and excessive force against innocents that is the signature of a police state.

I am a relative newcomer to newsvine. I used to comment extensively at the CNN site and still do somewhat. I find your articles most informing and hope to follow you extensively in the up coming weeks.
I just wanted to let you know I have some new groups, and would like to invite you to take a look at them :)

Great articles, comments, and seeds! Keep up the good work!
Take care!— McSpocky
Dear Mr. Tenny,
I have written and article that I think is pretty good. I am trying to garner some support as a rookie columnist to get it publicized onto Newsvine Live. I have enjoyed many of your comments on articles and wanted your input if possible. Please stop by if you get the opportunity.
Title: Say What you Want, Obama is a fighter
Thank you for your support, Sir. (oh, and please take the poll too)
Sincerely,
B.L. Frazer (NYC)
Most American should be able to clearly see the value of a two party system just as news organizations should have multiple outlets. The strong will win for awhile. If they become big-headed they'll end up being cocky and lose support. That's happening with the ruling party.
Having many sources of news and political views one can migrate to the story that makes sense. President Bush had blundered with decisions within his party, but he acted presidential for the most part. On the other hand President Obama can't make decisions. He is a follower. This is a glaring weakness seen by other governments. This is scary. Our system was built on two party rules. Clearly in control, Obama's party is pulling his strings and they have three Democrats crafting a health care bill that will affect our way of life. Cable news and newspapers are starting to expose the dangers of one party rule. Realize that government shouldn't run our life. We need competition in all aspects of life, whether it's insurance, health care, or politics. Don't let on party make the rules. Dictators arrive this way.
Hey baby, are you a learner or a teacher?
hi
Mr. Tenny - can someone please do a reality check? This nation is in an economic crisis! Why are we spending $15 million and more on inaugaration, and now Bush is going to authorize more to be spent???? Why do we have to have lavish parties, fancy dresses, gowns, and meals while people are losing their homes and jobs? I am disappointed in President Elect Obama, I truly thought he would show us a different way, that he would truly bring about the "change" he campaigned with. . .
Paul William Tenny,
My, my, such big words you use - xenophobe even. T.J. said "I hate everybody from that part of the world." He did not say he had a fear of them. Remember Kind Sir, hatred and raceism - in any direction - should not be a family value. Those who hate and degrade others because of the color of their skin, religion, place of origin and so on are truly self loathing. The only way they can seem to make themselves feel better is to demean others. They need your prayers far more than your angry sarcasm. Don't lower yourself to their standards.
I'm afraid that by you seeding articles so fast, you are not giving yourself enough time to make sure those who comment on them abide by the COH. You should consider slowing down to create more healthy discussion among Newsviners.
i have tried twice to leave a comment but no luck, now you can take your web page and go straight to hell
I encourage everyone to join me in mailing an old shoe to President Bush, 1600 Pennsylvania Ave, Washington DC 20500. We all have them in the back of our closet. This is a great symbol of our disgust with him and an expression of solidarity with the Iraqi people. Join the cause and show the world what we think!
Hello Paul,
I want to make sure you register the implications of my note about depolarising the Republicans. It would create two weaker parties, and would reunite all the nuts into the same nut bag.

This is new to me ,but I would like to say something,for all the believers out there who understands scripture,who do you think gave ALL of us the freedom of CHOICE ? That answer would be OUR CREATOR,Choices people make are up to them ,we may not agree ,but it is NOT our place to decide,we will ALL stand before GOD ,alone on judgement day and give an account for the CHOICES we have made,Obama is pro choice ,not his rule it is GOD who gave us that choice,so pray for knowledge an understanding ,an all the lost ones who are making wrong choices on their own' stop judging an start praying.
