At least by doing that, we know which political Party our MSM are in the tank for - although the Pew Research study had already proven that by giving Romney twice as much positive coverage than Obama in 2012 - another thing that MSM has ignored to report, thus, believe doesn't exist.

6. ISIS and the west

The whole thing stinks to high heaven. Contrast the US/NATO response in Libya to their response against ISIS.

Why was the west so excited to blow up the Libyan military and leadership over weak pretenses of crimes against the population and yet so reluctant to do anything serious against ISIS, who have been massacring their way across Syria and Iraq using former US military equipment, and even executing western citizens! Yes we are providing aid to the Kurds and Yazidis, but the US air force could bomb these Wahhabi's back to the Precambrian age if they wanted to. There is practically no air cover in the IRAQ/Syrian deserts. So far the only US military goal vs ISIS seems to be to keep them away from the Mosul Dam (Important) rather than to actually hurt their abilities to operate. (http://www.theguardian.com/news/datablog/2014/aug/27/us-military-isis-air-strikes-in-iraq-day-by-day-breakdown)

Possibly the west still sees ISIS as an asset to counter Russian-backed Assad and Syria. Stray a little too far into Kurdistan and we reacts, otherwise nothing. The idea that the US and west can't engage because we 'don't have a strategy for dealing with Isis' is either staggering incompetence or pure baloney.

Better yet, since Cruz is now running buddies with the Koch brothers, promoting war with ISIS, do they want war with ISIS?

McCain sings the same song, is the fascist Koch duo funneling money to ISIS to bring down the USA?

You know that's what they want. They can get paid back both ways.

But they just can't get past Obama holding back the dogs of war so they are foaming at the mouth. With the assistance of the media.

They will say anything for political advantage. They don't care if it is contradictory because they are hypocrites and have no shame.

For example, Rick Perry is claiming Obama is a tyrannical despot these days. Then in the very next sentence he says Obama is weak.

He is the masked so willing puppet, the familiar face to push fascism onto the masses.

For the last 10 years.When ever they (Our Government, Federal, State ,Or Local) say "this one" is the latest boogie man. I suspect their is another motivation behind it and fight it. And ya Know what!? In the last 10 years I've been right every G.D. time.
