You might feel like your in a "Looney Toon" skit because you will feel wonderfully wacky after your visit.

Don't forget to bring your checkbook.

As for the second part of your post, what does that statement have to do with anything I said in my post? I can't for the life of me think of any justifyable reason why you would even make such a comment? Fox & Friends is an entertainment program and not a news program any more than say Jon Stewart's show or Bill Mahrer's show is! And I made absolutely no mention of, attracks on or comments about either FoxNEWS or MSNBC!

Liberals seemed to have been conditioned (in a kind of a Pavlov reaction) to immediately foam at the mouth, stiffen with anger, bulge their eyes and sometimes scream, or at least to mockingly laugh uncontrollably, whenever the stimulus of anyone mentioning FOX Network, for any reason, presents itself.

It's sad but someday, with extensive therapy, there might hope for remission.

If Fox news is as unbiased as Some say, where are the Liberals ? I see that they are going to interview Ollie North, I have the greatest respect for him as I too served in the Marines, but if you ever read his column or his books , boy what a liberal. As for Gov. Scott I am sure the teachers and other union members cannot wait to see him here in our backyard in our square, which is being disrupted as per parking and entertainment this weekend. Gosh did I say Liberals, I mean conseratives, What does it take to get unb iased speakers here.

I don't know; maybe Foreigner who's going to perform with The Villages High School Choir in a promised soaring rendition of "I want to know what love is". A few of them are probably of the liberal persuasion.

I've never had a problem with Fox News because I never watch that channel. I grew up watching Huntley/Brinkley and still to this day I'll watch NBC for my news. For some reason I don't need to watch news channels all day, but sports channels, that's a different story.

Imagine if the developer of TV was person more like say, Art Rooney the owner of the Steelers, and he invited MSNBC or CNN morning news channels here. I believe the Republicans and especially the Tea Party fanatics would be out there Monday morning with all their signs and protests even more so than you're seeing from a few out-spoken democrats or independents. The Pendulum swings both ways.

Humor, it's good to sometimes recognise...........humor.

Not sure it is a good thing to have the television exposure no matter which network is doing it. How long will it be a "bubble" with mass exposure? Just wondering.

You realize that is exactly what the other side says? Two sides of the same coin.

So am I gonna need to pack my boxing gloves to live in TV.......I certainly hope not. If it is truly paradise I hope to be able to listen to one and all and also speak to one and all without fear of being put down....I know I'm very naive........

I seriously don't think a liberal could build a place like this.

This thread is headed for the political forum. Comments strayed too far from the topic about a broadcast.

I find that most people are so happy to be here that they don't want to mess up relationships by talking politics with people they don't know yet. And while democrats are a minority, they make their voices heard.

In my 11 months here, I have only gotten into one political argument, and that was with my next door neighbor. We have forgotten the episode and never talk politics again. We are still friends and he brings me his home grown tomatoes. Yummy, they are good.

That big tent at Lake Sumter Landing is kind of like a circus tent. Well, The Fox & Friends Circus with Ollie (where is Fawn Hall?) North, Rick ("I was CEO but did not know of Medicare fraud) Scott, and the rest of the clowns will have a good time.

Guess I will have to have my morning coffee somewhere besides Panera on Monday.
