Beck said on the radio this morning that his "Breaking News" was about the 70 Republicans standing up to the immigration bill. I'd like to know why the whistle blower was in such fear of his life? Did Beck just drop the story? Did he loose his source? He called everyone a bunch of dopes for not realizing the immigration bill thing was his breaking news. This whole thing just doesn't seem right.

if substantiated????......all tea party members are anarchists, and bent on overthrowing the government, if substantiated, that would be big news too!!!
You..uhh..don't get out much, do you? I was around honest to God anarchists and Black Block people with Occupy. The first time I'd ever been around true believers to that mindset and world view, too. They were all ..interesting people. I'll give them that. I'd also term a few as among the most dangerous people I've run across for world view and willingness to do whatever it took, over top of whoever it had to happen on for their end goals.
Having ALSO been around a couple different groups of Tea Party people? I can assure you without question or qualification. Those two groups have ABSOLUTELY nothing in common for philosophy or approach beyond perhaps saying they both think the current Government has to go. Tea Party people want to reform it. Anarchists and Black Block would be happy, as I heard them actually say, if Washington D.C. was nuked with everyone in it.
We kid about that here sometimes...but these people were intense and dead serious while saying that. Not so much as a glint of humor or sarcasm. Nope.... Tea Party and Anarchists have little to nothing in common.

I'm not sure what your reply to me is on this for? Another poster stated Tea Party people were Anarchists. That 's what my reply was to. One of the more ...ill informed statements that I've heard in awhile. (To find a mild term to use).
Now I really strongly dislike communists..to my core. Socialists aren't the same thing, but cousins and that's text book, right out of the definitions. The thing is, I can also work aside and with either one of those and I have. I don't much like them and they don't much like me as it's come in real life...but when the cause is worth it, those things can be put aside. Communists/Socialists aren't anarchists. Quite the opposite, of course. The true believers in burning the whole place down? I'd call it an uneasy tolerance since we had to share space and everyone realized there was 0 profit for infighting in that situation. Uneasy though..and never turning my back entirely.

I have to admit to being a Paul supporter myself. I wrote him into the General election in 2008 and supported him all I could from my limited means in 2012, up to the point where he simply didn't have the math to have any chance at all. How all that came about for the dirty tricks involved at some stages is another matter...and he would have lost anyway, as it became obvious in hindsight to the numbers. The republican party wasn't content with simply letting him lose honorably though. They had to cheat him of even that. It's something I'm not sure I'll ever forgive the GOP for.
I've really never looked at the 3rd parties. It's not because they may not be exactly what I'd like. They may well have some real winners in there. The math is just flat impossible though. Perot came as close as anyone ever has ...but calling him an outsider is a real stretch, too. Unaffiliated to the two main parties may have been a better description for Perot...and I'm glad he lost, actually. He was worse with security checks and bird dogging his own people than Obama has yet gotten with the whole federal government to use.
I wish our system wasn't 110% stacked against a 3rd party and making it near on impossible by sheer numbers...but there it is and they sure do, don't they?

Wouldnt surprise me. In every liberal there is a totalitarian screaming to get out.
A cyber security firm hired by CBS News has determined through forensic analysis that Sharyl Attkisson’s computer was accessed by an unauthorized, external, unknown party on multiple occasions late in 2012. Evidence suggests this party performed all access remotely using Attkisson’s accounts. While no malicious code was found, forensic analysis revealed an intruder had executed commands that appeared to involve search and exfiltration of data.

Let me know WHERE you and muse7 find gary johnson and the libertarians equating to anarchy and somalia.
It helps to be knowledgeable when you talk about something so you don't sound stupid.

I'd probably start here (from wiki)
Anarchism is generally defined as the political philosophy which holds the state to be immoral, or alternatively as opposing authority in the conduct of human relations. Proponents of anarchism (known as "anarchists") advocate stateless societies based on what sometimes is defined like non-hierarchical organizations, and in another times is defined like voluntary associations.
