Do you see how every news event, from an oil spill to what was on Bin Laden's bookshelf is weaved into the narrative of American politics, and this unending war of conservatives vs. Liberals?
Can you imagine the  effect it has on the minds of those who get their news from one source alone?
It's disgusting.


We live in a time in which decent and otherwise sensible people are surrendering too easily to the hectoring of morons or extremists.

Re: Your Daily Fox

Can anybody explain to me why this is news?
The Washington Free Beacon requested a comment from ABC news and didn't get it as quickly as they would have liked.
And the smoking gun is that the ABC spokeswoman once worked in the press room of the Clinton White House.
Huh?

Re: Your Daily Fox

This is sad.
Todd Starnes reports on some USDA recomendations about diet.
The USDA makes some suggestions, and
Todd calls it a "war". 

He rejects the recomendations,,
Then Todd notes that Americans are fat, and tries to blame it on,,,,,,,,, Obama.
Pathetic.




S'mores no more? Feds wage war of culinary aggression
Todd Starnes


I have disturbing news to share with you from our federal government.

The USDA wants Americans to remove chocolate and marshmallows and fire from our summertime s’mores. Instead - the USDA is suggesting we load up the graham crackers with strawberries and low-fat yogurt. 

That's not a s'more. That's a fruit salad with an oversized graham cracker crouton.

Over the past six years the Obama administration has waged a War of Culinary Aggression against lard-loving Americans.

What kind of dystopian society have we become where a red blooded American cannot enjoy a graham cracker smothered in milk chocolate and topped with a slightly charred marshmallow?

Banning cupcakes and Ho-Hos. cheeseburgers and Cheetos.

Remember back in 2012 when Mrs. Obama served cabbage sloppy?

Last year the U.S. Forest Service tried to convince us that s'mores would taste better if we replaced the chocolate with banana chunks and the graham crackers with angel food cake.

It's culinary heresy!

And yet, according to Gallup, Americans are fatter than ever before. Twenty-seven percent of the population is obese. That's an all-time high. 

When President Obama said he wanted to fundamentally transform the nation -- was this is what he had in mind?


What kind of dystopian society have we become where a red- blooded American cannot enjoy a graham cracker smothered in milk chocolate and topped with a slightly charred marshmallow?

Friends, the federal government is breaking  a cardinal rule.

You don’t tinker with the Big Mac’s special sauce. You don’t add a twelfth herb to the Colonel’s secret recipe. And you certainly do not take the chocolate or the marshmallow out of a s’more.
