      I highly doubt the several Republicans who voted to pass the bill would agree with Fox Nation's unbiased reporting here.

        By "several" I mean 8. Eight Republicans may have -- according to this report by Fox Nation -- committed treason. If convicted, these eight Republicans -- according to this report by Fox Nation -- could be put to death.

          I love FOX's concern for the "industrial base." Aren't these the same guys who have no problem with all the American auto companies shutting down? They went nuts over Obama saving them.

          It's like their sudden concern for the Iranian people-- last year they wanted to bomb them.

      A small hopefully effective step towards changing our energy economy is a direct asault on (the) industrial base of america. Treason?
      The MadDuck Dictionary of Common Words to Misuse must be an awsome read.

      The other posts aren't bad either (if you're out of your mind).

      Fox Nation, a secret organization of pedophiles?

      Hey, I'm just asking. Notice the question mark.

      I'm touched to learn that Fox is so concerned about America's eroding industrial base. Next up: specials about the need to revise or repeal NAFTA, CAFTA, et al?

      I am just concerned that not only are they not fair and balanced. But I don't even see a semi even close to fair headline on there. Out of curiosity when you sign up for an account there do you get to choose which party you support, and if you do are the options Republican and Stalinist Socialist Traitor?

      Liberals need to stop calling in to conservative talk shows. It's a trap, you're trapped into a yes or no question that there's only one correct answer. You either hate America and are a Socialist or you agree with Hannity/Limbaugh. Stop doing this.

      The thing to do is to not participate. Marginalize them.

      What's cool is that all us evil liberals can now actually commit treason and nobody will notice. It's like the boy who cried wolf.

      Just wait for the bills that drop your jaw! Not only will you pay at home you will pay in your city, county, and school districts taxes when they have to pass on the cost of higher energy bills to the local taxpayer. Who do you guys think pays the bills? Geez This is typical of what James Clybourne says are "correcting the inequities in the economy" in other words, wealth redistribution. Assume the position guys

        Actually, they're pretty consistent here. 'Treason' for them is any kind of opposition to their cockamamie policies.

      It's good to know that cleaning up our environment is treason. I suspect I'll be rounded up any day now for my recycling. What's funny is how the conservatives and the wealthy spent about the last 40 years shipping 'industrial base' jobs to places like China, Mexico, and India, and that was just good business.

      I suppose when conservatives gut the middle class for fun and profit, it's just how the free market works. You know, as opposed to treason.

      Treason: Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort. No Person shall be convicted of Treason unless on the Testimony of two Witnesses to the same overt Act, or on Confession in open Court. US Constitution, Section III, Article 3.

      No, don't see any mention of regulating industry. I guess Fox is just demonstrating what we've known all along, they believe corporations are the government.

      If Fox Nation was around in the 1860's they would say "Emancipation Proclamation: Direct assault on industrial base of America"

      These losers at GOP-TV commit treason daily by saying crap like "Don't do the Census" or basically calling for Obama's assassination without actually saying it. These people make me sick.
