Thomas column straight propaganda

Posted August 28, 2012 4:20 am

In Cal Thomas’ recent column, he states, “Romney-Ryan should feature at every campaign stop someone who has succeeded without help from the federal government.” That is straight propaganda. Did they invent something? Federal patent office protects it.

Did they drive, fly, mail, go over a bridge, use utilities, have police protection, use currency, FDIC, did they learn to read and write, go to college, drive, fly, get licensed, use the courts, enjoy safety? All provided for you by the government.

Furthermore, Mr. Thomas referenced the ancient Gaelic language and that Ryan means “king.” Again a great example of propaganda. If you Google the name Ryan you will see it is the most common name in Ireland. Also apparently a very common name for Midwest politicians as well.
