		<description><![CDATA[Fear is a powerful mechanism in politics, and it is frequently employed to attract or sway the opinions of the masses. Political commentators are shameless in their attacks on political opposites, which often amount to nothing short of extreme fabrication (not to mention, there is always an abundant amount of hypocrisy, cherry-picking, and confirmation bias <img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=bittersweetdistractions.com&amp;blog=5308571&amp;post=703&amp;subd=bittersweetdistractions&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The current conservative movement is an easy target for ridicule because it is an irrational, syncretic amalgamation of conflicting ideas, beliefs, and blatant contradictions. Obama&#8217;s election managed to unite paleoconservative, neoconservative, libertarian, and religious conservative ideologies into one, stupid mess that lives and breathes off of paranoid conspiracy theories, anti-intellectual sentiments, and the systematic denial <img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=bittersweetdistractions.com&amp;blog=5308571&amp;post=698&amp;subd=bittersweetdistractions&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

Cavuto believes the stimulus has failed, like he was always going to believe, and Blackwell doesn&#8217;t think the stimulus has failed. If Cavuto wanted <img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=bittersweetdistractions.com&amp;blog=5308571&amp;post=686&amp;subd=bittersweetdistractions&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
