| Taxpayer-funded PBS is planning a week-long series of programs focused on the murders committed last December at a Newtown, Connecticut elementary school. The series will begin on February 18. The programs, to be gathered under the rubric "After Newtown," will "continue the public conversation" by focusing on many aspects of the incident. Such issues as gun laws, mental illness, school security, and violence in society and the media will be featured in this series of programs meant to explore the crime. Several PBS news-style programs will participate in the series. Among them will be "Frontline,"

When is the Republican Party going to act in similar fashion when it wants something done???
This tactic works, dear Republican leaders. Use it. If questioned on it, you simply shrug and say it´s proven to work. Why would we not use something known to work?

Why is it a "conversation" to a liberal always means taking away someone´s freedom or property?

Too bad the Republicans—targeted repeatedly by PBS and NPR—force the rest of us to fund leftist propaganda. Sharpest knives in the drawer, they say.

Ghouls. They cackle when people are killed. If they could get to the pool of blood they´d bathe in it. Make no mistake, they are thrilled when these things happen.

I´d wager seventy-five cents and a gold-handled cattle prod that in the entire week of ´programming´ - there will not be a *single* mention of how vast the drop in gun murders has been as a direct result of the expansion of gun ownership over the last 20 years...
It´s almost humorous how biased NPR is - in light of their receipt of public funding. It´s less than humorous how flat-out deceptive they are peddling the pet issues of the left on a full-time basis.

I am sorry but who the h*ll cares?
They are a liberal propaganda machine with a viewership in the hundred (per day), and all of them are liberal Obamabots. They haven´t produced a interesting program in years. Just the same old liberal taking points day after day I used to support them with donations but that stopped about 10 years ago when the stopped being a credibily network and went into the far left political cheerleader team.
So I repeat "Who the h*ll cares.............

It´s a safe bet that they will NOT mention the impact of marijuana use on psychotic kids making them vicious and dangerous. Numerous studies now show that pot-smoking psychopaths are many times more likely to be violent than just psychopaths alone or pot smokers alone. Most school shooters were proven to be big pot smokers in addition to using anti-psychotic drugs.
A simple hair-sample drug test of the shooter (even from his corpse) in the Newtown schoolchild massacre would prove not only what drugs he had used but when he had used them. A question for that PBS program would be why hasn´t that been done and the results published?
Guns don´t pull their own trigger at the helpless children in its sights; in nearly all cases a Satan-driven pot-addicted psycho did.
Just like the drivers in fatal accidents are immediately tested for alcohol and drugs, school shooters should be immediately tested and the results publicized. What kind of public policy lunacy keeps that from being done?
With pot now being America´s lucrative sacred cow, in this nation with the highest drug-use rates in the world, those questions will not be even hinted at. What a country!!!

Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell´s campaign has contacted the FBI after a recording of a private strategy meeting was published Tuesday in a liberal publication, claiming the campaign was the victim of "Watergate-style tactics" to bug the office. Several snippets of the audio from the February strategy sessions were published Tuesday by Mother Jones magazine, along with a lengthy article. The recording, obtained from an unnamed source, included McConnell aides discussing ways to politically damage actress Ashley Judd, who at the time was talked about as a possible McConnell challenger.

Lord Bell said: "It is with great sadness that Mark and Carol Thatcher announced that their mother Baroness Thatcher died peacefully following a stroke this morning." Baroness Thatcher was Conservative prime minister from 1979 to 1990. She was the first woman to hold the post. Her family is expected to make a further statement later. Baroness Thatcher, born Margaret Roberts, became the Conservative MP for Finchley, north London in 1959, retiring from the Commons in 1992. Having been education secretary, she successfully challenged former prime minister Edward Heath for her party´s leadership in 1975.

It’s a decision that will bruise egos, create legacies and deeply affect subsequent messaging battles. “Every time the bill is mentioned in the press, you either have a brand that´s positive or a brand that doesn´t mean anything or even hurts you,” said Frank Sharry, the executive director of the pro-immigration reform group America’s Voice.

Don’t hide behind a procedural action to prevent a vote. That’s the wrong thing to do, and that’s how the president clearly feels.”

There was growing buzz over the weekend that a bipartisan agreement on gun control — a deal that would expand background checks — could hit the floor as early as this week. However, any deal could be derailed by the looming threat of a Republican filibuster involving Texas Sen. Ted Cruz. With Cruz standing proudly in the way of any gun legislation, Democrats are trying to make him pay a political price — and even a couple of high-profile Republicans are questioning his tactics.
