As I may have mentioned before, I’ve been reading Oliver North’s American Heroes book.

It is amazing the difference between Col. North’s front-line coverage of the Iraq war and what CBS-NBC-ABC-CNN delivered during the heat of the conflict.

Fox News does have many Bush people as commentators. They are all clearly labeled as such. They also have many Dems on – they are also clearly labeled.

During the election cycle, it was Fox News that was the fairest.

And Fox is not the only network to have politicos. Does George Stephanopoulos ring a bell?

Obama is also hiring many ex-journalists.

ABC is giving Obama hours of positive coverage, so that he can sell his socialized medicine plan. They are not allowing the other side to speak. They are not selling commercial time. This is not what freedom of the press was supposed to be.

I’m sorry that you are too spoon fed to understand.

Hopefully this a good barometer, however small my non-scientific sample is… (but who let’s real science get in they way of anything these days any way).

I have noticed the Obama stickers have been vanishing in my area and new stickers pop like:

“Don’t spread my wealth, Spread my work ethic”
“Work harder. Millions on welfare depend on you.”
“No Socialism.”

Anyone else seeing bumper sticker revolt?

and Michael.. that is one heck of a response.. and that is a scary thought, yet not unlikely too… since I would not be surprised if obama takes such controls.. recall that “fairness doctrine” was basically a gag to anyone who opposes this moron.

jcincy.. true, the way things are going.. the way the tables have turned on religion.. it changes so much.. I grew up around religious hypocrits.. so I had a very bad taste about religion in my life.. and those that “claimed” it.. but even with that bad taste, i see what is happening and agree it is wrong and needs to be stopped. Regardless of my for or against religious beliefs, I know when something is wrong, I know when people are being attacked.. and regilious people are being attack..well unless they are Muslims.

And I too am sickened by any Obama supporters, i get so angry when I see the bumper stickers.. I wished I had a tank and could just “correct” those errors.. but the damage is in action.. we just need to find a way to correct it.. there has to be a way..

I wonder if the people that scraped together $1,550 for McCain are still employed by ABC?

http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2009/jun/19/abc-employees-donated-heavily-to-obama/?feat=home_headlines

“The Washington Times has learned that ABC employees gave 80 times as much money to Mr. Obama’s 2008 campaign for president than to his rival’s.

“According to an analysis of campaign donations by the Center for Responsive Politics, conducted at The Times’ request, ABC employees in several divisions donated $124,421 to the Obama campaign, compared with $1,550 to the presidential campaign of Sen. John McCain….

“A study released Thursday by the Business & Media Institute (BMI) found that since Inauguration Day, ABC has aired news stories with positive reviews of Mr. Obama’s health care policy 55 times, compared with 18 times when the network highlighted negative reviews.”

I’ve always thought that the media’s main contribution to Obama’s campaign was not in dollar signs, but in overwhelming amounts of positive coverage….

Overwhelmed and Feeling Like Giving Up? That Is What The Left Wants You To Do!

I posted a similar response here, as I posted there.

Read the Declaration of Independence. The words ring as true today as they did in 1776. “A prince, whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people.”

This government is unfit to rule a free people.

I have sensed nothing like this in my lifetime. My parents, who are in their 80s claim they have never witnessed a time like this either in this nation.

Some may call me a religious nut job, but I have never had the conviction in my heart now that this time in America is no accident. The Supreme Judge of the world is stirring the hearts of the quiet people to raise their voice. Divine Providence responded 233 years ago, nature’s God will respond to our appeal again today.

“One of [Saul] Alinsky’s first lessons is: “Radicals must have a degree of control over the flow of events.” Setting aside the Right’s habitual complaint about the pliant liberal media, Obama has dominated the news by unveiling a new initiative or giving a major speech on almost every weekday of his presidency. There has been a steady stream of lighter stories as well — the puppy, Michelle Obama’s fashion sense, the White House swing set, the president and vice president’s burger lunch.

“The constant parade of events large and small ensures that whenever unpleasant news arises and overtakes the desired message — think of Tom Daschle’s withdrawal, the Air Force One photo op, or North Korea’s missile launch — it leads the news for only a day. For contrast, consider what happened when the photos of the Abu Ghraib prisoner abuse appeared: As American Journalism Review reports, they “dominated the headlines for a month. Day after day, top national newspapers brought to light new aspects of the debacle on their front pages.”

(The entire article is an interesting read, I cherry-picked the media reference)

I found that section interesting, because I have felt bombarded by events, so fast and so numerous, that they are impossible to finely sift through. The speed has been overwhelming. I have felt that if the media or the events were slowed down, that people would have a chance to look at the situation, and finally be horrified. But, the speed is the key. Haven’t we heard often enough that it is necessary to speed everything up? The stimulus package was rammed by without even being read. Now, healthcare has to be solved by July. Everything is happening so fast, that it is impossible to keep track of it all.

Which is exactly the reason that it is happening…

I really am trying hard not to hate Obama’s supporters. But, it is getting increasingly hard. I feel as though I have been robbed of my country and that my children have been robbed of any chance of success.

…except that, the government had a monopoly on printer’s ink and paper for newsprint. And lo, it therefore transpired that Rude Pravo, the Czechoslovak Communist Party’s official organ, got all they wanted, while “nonconformist” newspapers consistently got their deliveries of materials delayed, or there were sudden shortages, mixups, etc. etc.

Kind of reminds me of incestuous relationship between the traditional media who worship Obama and therefore get unlimited access (as long as they do what hE says), and the freeze-out, not to mention the ridicule and smears, that anyone who does not goosestep to the official tune, is getting from the House of Noncolor. (Uh, I have been told many a time by racemongers who wanted to be polite to me that I am a “person of noncolor” as opposed to a mere “white male.”)

So, stand by for insidious or even pretty blatant grabs for the Internet, radio, and eventually telephones and fax machines – anything that allows people to communicate independently and freely.

Stand by, also, for increasing hysteria over people associating freely. I seem to have heard yesterday (on the evil and nonconformist Fox) that some lunatic putz had stuck a statement into a Pentagon training manual or document that “protests” are to be viewed as “low-level terrorism.” That means you, Tea Party Poopers! That means you, old geezers tipping back a few in your neighborhood pubs and yakking over the government.

That means you, and me, and everyone else who takes the Constitution seriously.

Yes, as JCincy says, we are indeed reaching an either/or moment in the United States.

Here’s the sad thing: back in the bad old days, as for instance behind the Iron Curtain, we were sustained by the dream of a land called America where we could go for succor and freedom. Some of us, like my family, were lucky enough to make it. Now this last bastion of freedom and dignity is under attack, and…

…there is nowhere else to run.

This is the place where we must make a stand, or else not just we, but the whole world, is in for a new dark ages (uh, ages of color?).

Nuff said…

Great clarity and polarization is coming to this nation.

Those who have been hiding in shades of gray are now declaring their allegiances.

We are reaching an either/or moment in this land.

Don’t be moved by fear, rather ground yourself in the principles of Life and Liberty. The God of Life and Liberty will prevail.
