And while Obama does mention his desire to modify the US Constitution to redistribute wealth, no where does anyone highlight what is probably the most frightening message delivered in that audio segment, namely, Obama's desire to move away from negative logic in the US Constitution.
In other words, Obama wants to move away from a 'charter of negative liberties'. He is suggesting a return to Roman Law. He wants a system where gov't tells you everything is illegal except what they tell you that you CAN do.
my head is going to explode.

ItsTime, it is what I call framing. Basically, the media tell you how to think about something when they show you it. If you're not paying attention, it boxes-in your thinking and you only think about the issue in the context of the media framing. So, one has to really pay attention to how issues are framed and actively search for the motivation of that framing. It's not enough to just listen to the issue, but one must evaluate how the issue is presented. Otherwise, your just going to think about the issue in the terms, or frame, that they present it in.
This is why media is so very important. If you just heard someone speak without a pundit or commentator, you'd have the opportunity to frame the discussion on your own, using your own thinking. But media intercedes, and tells you how to think about something before you even hear it.
They compartmentalize. And don't be fooled, ALL MEDIA do this, even Patriot media and some media that appears to be Ron friendly.
Gots to fight it!
