Zelikow is a self-proclaimed myth-maker. His adult career has been spent writing (and with his management of the 9/11 Commission, making) revisionist history, to wit:

I don’t trust anything he says at face value.

It’s by definition a “conspiracy” because he was knowingly allowed by others to continue in his uncivilized manner, in your own words.

Trayvon Martin, your picture is on my wall. You will forever be remembered by me.

Bingo…and, yes.

This hypocritical framing is all a very important part of the Grand Illusion to, once again, make voters believe that they have two, and only two, viable and distinct choices.

The poll data clearly does not indicate anything of the sort. These results could only be interpreted from extrapolation and removal of the data set from “(ASKED OF LEANED REPUBLICANS)”.

This headline, and those of the MSM, appear to be deliberately misleading. If you Follow the Money ™ it benefits those who wish self-identified liberals to feel better about themselves, ie the Democratic Party.

A couple of points, Kevin:

1) “This Washington Post-ABC News poll was conducted by telephone February 1 to 4, 2012, among a random national sample of 1,000 adults, including landline and cell phone-only respondents. The results from the full survey have a margin of sampling error of plus or minus four percentage points. Sampling, data collection and tabulation by Abt-SRBI of New York.” Am I missing where it is stated that this is a poll of registered Liberals?

2) I do not have any confidence in any polling presented by the MSM.

The system is not broken…yet.

This is the whole point. We 99% are not part of the system.

Democracies elect representatives. Tyranies elect leaders.

Social Security IS NOT an ENTITLEMENT.

This framing/misunderstanding/misdirection/deceit really burns me no end.

These DEPOSITED monies are held in TRUST. That’s the big “T” word there. The lack of which contibutes to the very core of our current problems.

ROTFLMAO

I was going to call him a Socialist, but, you have the right idea.

A little flowery this morning, David?

Let me not to the marriage of true minds

Admit impediments. Love is not love

Which alters when it alteration finds,

Or bends with the remover to remove:

O no! it is an ever-fixed mark

That looks on tempests and is never shaken;

It is the star to every wandering bark,

Whose worth’s unknown, although his height be taken.

Love’s not Time’s fool, though rosy lips and cheeks

Within his bending sickle’s compass come:

Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks,

But bears it out even to the edge of doom.

If this be error and upon me proved,

I never writ, nor no man ever loved.

William Shakespeare

An astute observation of a commenter over at HuffPo regarding this new “Super Congress” calls it, nothing more or less than a, “Central Committee.”

We are far down the rabbit hole.

Well said.

It is time that we recognize that it is the very application of these labels that is divisive.

If we would only come together in our diversity to improve the lot of the collective.

The genie is almost out of the bottle on this:

If the too-big-too-fails can’t cap it, it will be a generation ’till things are sorted out.

Kabuki, Teddy, kabuki. The illusion of choice.

I would think that if a church takes any public funds, including tax exemptions, it should be required to comply with the rules of the state.

This is not news:

And he is increasingly coming across as less intelligent than even I had given him credit for.

This is another possibility. One that I was ridiculed for considering, by several colleagues, before the ’08 election and after the Reverend Wright epiphany.

This electorate definitely needs a good shake up.
