| Television censors labor to strip away naughty bits from your favorite television shows. Do they also exist to protect President Obama's reelection chances? The fall premiere of ABC's "Last Man Standing" sitcom starring Tim Allen felt the censor's sting, and the censoring had nothing to do with George Carlin's infamous seven dirty words.

Comments:
Tim Allen is from Michigan and probably sees this and feels it more than the Hollywood types. Gee, not funny calling the POTUS something unflattering a couple days before the election, eh?

The future shall not belong to those who insults the prophet mohammad or the Empty Chair. Vote and pray like your life depends on it, because it does.

"...in the last days perilous times shall come...evil men and impostors shall become worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived..." (2 Timothy)...looks like we have one in the Whie House.....I was able to visit the U.S.S.R. many years ago and was in awe of the propaganda everywhere, restricted limits for tourists, wondering if you were being followed...anyway....never thought I'd see the day when it would be happening right here...

Remember to vote in all your local races as well.
These vermin must be eliminated from the top down and bottom up.

Anarchy is always an alternative. Not the bomb-throwing kind of crude rebellion, but the subtle little ways of reaching into the vipers' nest and snatching out their eggs, to crush them and prevent the next generation from ever being born. Or at least, to greatly decimate their descendents.
In the rule of tyranny, they invariably plant the seeds of their own defeat. They grow too comfortable, and forget the attention to detail that they used to get themselves levered into power in the first place.

Do they also exist to protect President Obama's reelection chances?
Does a bear do its business in the woods?
Is the Pope Catholic?
Does the sun rise in the east?
All four questions can be answered with the same word -- Yes.

Read the article folks. Tim Allen said he thinks it's funny when Conservatives use the 'communist' label to describe 0bama.
Doesn't sound like Timmy is against 0bama.

This is actually a good sign. Since the 50's the Communists among us sought to make it a word that no "sophisticated intelligent" person would use. They did this by social ostracism and ridicule.
Now it looks as if the Obammunist has not only given this powerful word new life - but also that the establishment left is newly afraid of its power.
This is something we need to be unafraid to say.

#6, I saw your last teachable moment and sympathize. I am convinced that there are retired pedants who lurk on this site solely for the pleasure of correcting or CENSORING the rest of us. Tiresome, but we have to remember that the First Amendment applies to everybody.

U.K. stocks retreated, sending the FTSE 100 Index (UKX) lower for a second day, after the euro area forced Cyprus to adopt an unprecedented levy on bank deposits, threatening to reignite the region’s debt crisis. Barclays Plc (BARC) and Prudential Plc (PRU) led a selloff in financial firms, both falling at least 2.5 percent. Eurasian Natural Resources Corp. fell with mining companies as base metals declined and a newspaper said the company may write down more than $1 billion this week. The FTSE 100 Index lost 60.77 points, or 0.9 percent, to 6,428.88 at 10:33 a.m. in London,...

Hostility has been mounting this week in East Flatbush, Brooklyn, after two plainclothes police officers fatally shot 16-year-old Kimani Gray after he allegedly pointed a revolver at them on Saturday night. On Monday a group of about 130 people were marching toward the 67th Police Precinct station when about two dozen young protesters splintered off — drawing riot police — and trashed a Rite Aid. Tuesday the crowd was mostly calm, but on Wednesday — the same day Gray´s autopsy showed he had been shot seven times ...

Seconds after University of Michigan President Mary Sue Coleman banged the gavel to start Thursday´s Board of Regents meeting, the first student stood up. Freshman Daniel Morales took off his shirt to unveil a yellow T-shirt underneath. He took a piece of red tape and put it across his mouth. (Snip) About 100 students followed suit, one at a time, sitting quietly on the floor as part of a protest calling for U-M to offer in-state tuition to those students who went to high school in Michigan, but are undocumented residents.

Post Thanksgiving ruminations and ruinations ... Question: When is it better to earn $29,000 than to earn $69,000? Answer: When you’re a single mom living in Pennsylvania. Why? Because, thanks to our generous welfare system, a single mom makes out better that way. When all the benefits are added up, the lower-paid single mom qualifies to receive $57,327 in net income and benefits, while the mom who earns $69,000 ends up with a net income and benefits of $57,045.

"I don´t understand it," the Arizona Republican said on Sunday of the threat coming from Sen. Rand Paul,Sen. Ted Cruz, Sen. Mike Lee and nine other Republicans. "The purpose of the United States Senate is to debate and to vote and to let the people know where we stand.” "What are we afraid of? ...

Michelle Obama has admitted that she is already tired of the bangs she first sported in January. The First Lady said in an interview with Entertainment Tonight: ´Bangs are a day-by-day proposition. They´re starting to grow out, get a little irritating.´ Still, she hasn´t let her hairdo woes get her down. ´It´s okay,´ she said after her initial complaint. ´We´ll be good.´ The first indication that her hairstyle was becoming a burden came about last weekend, when Malia, 14, was spotted adjusting her mother´s hair during the White House Easter Egg Roll.

President Obama´s biggest gaffe yesterday when speaking of California Attorney General Kamala Harris was not in flirtatiously complimenting her as "the best-looking attorney general," but in introducing an observation from the system of beauty into a forum that was about the system of power.What´s that, you say? Irin Carmon does a great job in Salon in laying out the bounds of propriety for when it´s appropriate to talk about a woman´s looks as a general matter. But I´ve long felt we lack a solid theoretical underpinning for easily discussing these issues, and why precisely it is that

Recent research indicates that the number of people who do not consider themselves a part of an organized religion is steadily on the rise. Interestingly enough, though the number of those religiously unaffiliated is increasing, there is little to no trend in the number of those who express atheist or agnostic beliefs. People aren’t saying they don’t believe in God. They’re saying they don’t believe in religion. They are not rejecting Christ. They are rejecting the church. This begs the question, “Why are we losing our religion?”

Los Angeles — Some people have had it with TV. They´ve had enough of the 100-plus channel universe. They don´t like timing their lives around network show schedules. They´re tired of $100-plus monthly bills. A growing number of them have stopped paying for cable and satellite TV service, and don´t even use an antenna to get free signals over the air. (Snip) Last month, the Nielsen Co. started labeling people in this group "Zero TV" households, because they fall outside the traditional definition of a TV home. There are 5 million of these residences in the U.S., up from

On Friday, Sean Hannity brought Pat Smith, mother of the late Sean Smith, on his radio program. The 34-year-old information management officer was one of four Americans murdered in the Benghazi embassy attack on September 11, 2012. In the chilling interview, a distraught Ms. Smith, in tears, pleaded for answers and spoke of the efforts to silence her. Ms. Smith first relayed how her son, prior to the attack, requested additional security in advance and warned the State Department: He did tell them, ahead of time, he typed it into his little typewriter over there,

No one is more preoccupied these days with Hillary Clinton´s 2016 plans than the Beltway political class—not even the former presidential candidate herself. To hear some tell it, her decision will be dispositive for all other Democrats thinking of entering the race. And pundits and reporters aren´t the only ones positing the "The Hillary Factor": No less than the House Democratic whip, Steny Hoyer, told BuzzFeed, “I don´t know that anybody would run against Hillary…. If she runs, she clears the field.” It´s an understandable conclusion, given Clinton´s stature in the Democratic Party and her 70 percent

Put out an all-points bulletin: Millions of Americans have gone missing from the workforce. Every month that those would-be workers are gone raises the odds that they might never come back, dimming the prospects for future economic growth. The vanishing trend is more than a decade old, but it accelerated during the Great Recession. Throughout 2012, economists held out hope that it had stopped. But then came Friday’s jobs report, and hopes were dashed. The Labor Department reported that the U.S. labor force — everyone who has a job or is looking for one — shrank

Susan Patton, the Princeton alumna who became famous for her letter urging Ivy League women to use their college years to find a mate, has been denounced as a traitor to feminism, to coeducation, to the university ideal. But really she’s something much more interesting: a traitor to her class. Her betrayal consists of being gauche enough to acknowledge publicly a truth that everyone who’s come up through Ivy League culture knows intuitively —
