thinkprogress.org— Anything that doesnt fit into the political appointees ideological, theological, or political agenda is ignored, marginalized, or simply buried.

What you call whining, is imperative to a democracy as our right to free speech and the right to protest. If people don't "whine" than everyone keeps the same convoluted view that the government spews out thru propoganda and outright lies. While I think the majority of Americans are not happy with Bush, according to his sub-30% approval rating, Americans have no control over impeachment, that is up to congress which is too corrupt to actually do anything. Yea I guess "whining" doesn't get the president canned, but I don't have billions of dollars to buy out all the henchman he has bought out the protect himself.
I think the prob with your comment, sonickat1, is that the point here is not that a Surgeon General can be flawed. That is besides the point. The point is that all pluralism has been squashed by this administration. It is a monolithic, ideological form of totalitarianism, which is crying out for different points of view.
Shmatt, you have lost your senses. I have not, and will never defend Fox news, as your rant implies. I also will not back off the claim that thinkprogress exploits sensationalism in equal measure to promote their own bent agenda. It is clear from the acidic response that the observation holds: honestly objective criticism will never be accepted in an environment such as this. Honest discourse has gone the way of the dodo. If you are not espousing one extreme view or another, then you are going to get slagged. Sorry, I choose not to fall in line. Either line. I choose to use my brain and critically consider the messages I read.
Bush doesn't undermine the science, in which there are no true facts, just theories and axioms. He just tends to ignore them. There is a significant difference. Just because he vetos stem cell research doesn't mean he undermines the concept of the subject, he's just an individual in power that is able to influence the progress of the field. I'm absolutely not saying he's right in what he does...In fact I think it's absolutely idiot, but he isn't manipulating scientific facts, he's disagreeing
EVERYDIGGER NEEDS TO VOTE FOR RON PAUL IN THE REPUBLICAN PRIMARY AND MAKE HIM THE NOMINEE!!!EVEN DEMOCRATS AND HARD CORE LIBERALS SHOULD VOTE IN THE REPUBLICAN PRIMARY FOR PAUL BECAUSE HE CANNOT BE BOUGHT AND IS THE CANDIDATE WITH THE MOST INTEGRITY. WITH DEMOCRATS VOTING RAN PAUL, IN THE REPUBLICAN PRIMARIES, THEY ARE ASSURED TO GET A COMPETENT PERSON AS PRESIDENT, EITHER RON PAUL OR HILLARY OR OBAMA. WIN WIN WIN. SO ALL DEMOCRATS YOU KNOW WHAT YOU NEED TO TO.THINK ABOUT IT! NOW TELL EVERYONE THE PLAN TO GET RON THE REPUBLICAN NOMINATION.

There is a difference between thinking Bush flew planes into WTC and thinking Bush censors what his people say.
