WAKE UP AMERICA, THIS IS WHY OUR FOUNDING FATHERS PUT THE
SECOND AMENDMENT IN OUR CONSTITUTION.

"..it does not require a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority keen to set brush fires in people's minds.."
--Samuel Adams

As far as I can see, Bob, there are only about 5 or 6 of us in this forum that are an irate, tireless minority keen to set brush fires in people's minds' as Sam Adams
stated - the rest are either too afraid to express their opinions or just plain ole 'don't care'! As the very famous guy 'Anon' one said "The number one problem in our country is APATHY, but who cares"!

Hattie!

Somebody's gotta do it Hattie, otherwise apathy will prevail. I think we're awful close now!!!

I am SHOCKED that Cooper Anderson is on the bottom of the list -I'd rate him after Shep Smith! Betcha, like Glenn Beck, if Cooper Anderson left CNN and hired on with Fox his rating would surely sore upward! And I am also SHOCKED that Olbermann and Maddow are IN the Top Ten! So what happened to Chris Matthews' 'Hard Ball' - how is that rated - his show, Olbermann and Maddow should be in the BOTTOM TEN if you want my humble opiniion!

Hattie!
