"I am for a government rigorously frugal and simple. Were we directed from Washington when to sow, when to reap, we should soon want bread." -- Thomas Jefferson
If we actually had an objective media, this would all be common knowledge. Unfortunately, modern journalism has devolved into a grotesque group of liberal cheerleaders with no regard for the truth or objectivity.
This is an outstanding video discussing the various media memes surrounding the War on Terror, President George Bush and the current POTUS. From the moment the airplanes starting crashing on 9/11, this country could have collapsed in fear and surrendered to the jihadists - which is what they had hoped for in the Middle East. But thank God we had a leader that took the fight to our enemies and laid the ground work to keep us safe when this country was feeling very vulnerable.
I personally believe that George Bush will be remembered as one of our great Presidents because of what he accomplished in protecting the United States from economic catastrophe and further attacks.
Enjoy!

Sarah Palin's Going Rogue book tour is in full swing and the liberals in the media are in full meltdown mode. Here are just a few for grins:
The most damaging pieces of legislation ever considered in Washington, Obamacare, has over 4,000 pages between the House and Senate versions. Going Rogue has just over 400 pages. The Associated Press has assigned 2 reporters to Obamacare and 11 to "fact check" Sarah Palin. Accountability Journalism
And then you have reporterette Norah O'Donnell from something called MSNBC badgering a 17-year old fan of Sarah Palin. You must watch the video to see the absurdity of the reporter with notes prepared to pounce on someone waiting to meet Palin. They are simply out of control. The girl handled the attack quite well and O'Donnell comes off as an abusive nitwit.
I know it pains them to write this, but Going Rogue sold 300,000 copies on the first day and the print run has been increased from 1.5 million to 2.5 million. Go Sarah!
Liberal nitwits try and stage a smear campaign against Sarah, but instead are caught red-handed. Let this be a lesson, whenever you hear a negative story about a Conservative, look for the source and the truth. Truth to a liberal is like light to a vampire.

Wow. That's ten "AP writers" plus Calvin Woodward, the AP writer whose twinkling pen honed the above contributions into the turgid sludge of the actual report. That's 11 writers for a 695-word report. What on? Obamacare? The Iranian nuke program? The upcoming trial of Khalid Sheikh Mohammed?
No, the Associated Press assigned 11 writers to "fact-check" Sarah Palin's new book, and in return the 11 fact-checkers triumphantly unearthed six errors. That's 1.8333333 writers for each error.
The economy is in the toilet. Over 17% unemployment. Obama is bowing to world leaders. Iran is shooting us the finger. Congress is trying to destroy our wonderful health care system. And the AP thinks its more important to sick 11 writers on a private citizen's literary endeavor?
I am speechless. Its almost comical how crazy and unhinged the left is when it comes to Sarah. Heck, I may just order a few more copies simply to give as gifts. The sales numbers for her book are already off the charts and it has not even shipped.

The mainstream media missed the story of the day. Or perhaps they purposely ignored the largest news story of the year. Yesterday, in 800+ cities across this great nation, hundreds of thousands of ordinary people said enough. They were tired of the bailouts, wasteful spending, supporting criminal organizations like ACORN and ever increasing taxes. They know that the biggest reason for the financial meltdown is government interference - especially by the Democrat leadership who took hundreds of thousands in "contributions" from the very banks they have now bailed out. Giving Democrats the power to "fix" things is just compounding a monumental mistake.
You see, ordinary people are not dumb. No matter how many media elites and Washington politicians would like to dismiss the masses, they know the difference between socialism and freedom. The current administration and ruling class in Washington is on a fast track to europeanization of our once great country. And patriotic Americans will not let that happen.
These weren't your typical "rent-a-mob" of paid leftists. There was no George Soros pulling the strings to orchestrate these protests. This was a true grass roots movement. Heck, in my birthplace, Longview, Texas, a quiet city in East Texas, over a thousand gathered to protest. I lived there 18 years and my Father another 26 years beyond that. Nothing like that had EVER happened there to my recollection.
There was a protest in Dallas and in nearly every suburb in the Dallas and Fort Worth areas. Texans are familiar with oppression having fought and won our freedom from a ruthless Mexican dictator. We joined the union to enjoy the freedom promised by Uncle Sam. Texans have fought and died in countless wars. We have sacrificed in many ways to do our part to make this country better.
But as Washington becomes more oppressive in its demands, secession is always a possible solution, as many speakers made clear at most of these rallies. If real change doesn't come to Washington, that will be the final alternative. Texas, or any American for that matter, does not deserve to live under the tyranny of a corrupt and bankrupt government. But we will not leave without a fight. This country deserves better than the liberal lunacy that now infests Washington.
Rightwing extremism in the United States can be broadly divided into those groups, movements, and adherents that are primarily hate-oriented (based on hatred of particular religious, racial or ethnic groups), and those that are mainly antigovernment, rejecting federal authority in favor of state or local authority, or rejecting government authority entirely. It may include groups and individuals that are dedicated to a single issue, such as opposition to abortion or immigration.
Literally every Conservative could at some point be called potential threats by this "advisory." Does this sound like the "change" you believe in? Actually it sounds much more like the Soviet Union or Cuba. All we need now is ACORN or Obama's brown-shirted hoodlums rounding all us evil Conservatives up for eradication or re-education. There was no mention of the many terrorists and terrorist sympathizers currently working in and with this administration.
The mainstream media largely ignored the events or tried to discredit them in their own way. One CNN reporterette made her liberal bias so profoundly obvious - as if we really need more evidence. See if you can spot the "angry" protesters and the "unbiased" reporterette.
Did you catch her DEFENDING the White House, claiming that Illinois gets $50 billion in payola and the taxpayer should be happy about that? Susan, sweetheart, who do you think has to pay for that?
Susan Roesgen is the reporterette's name. And if she is not immediately fired for this completely unprofessional display, she should at least be reprimanded. But this is not the first time Susan Roesgen has displayed her "professionalism."
There is a good reason why I stopped watching CNN, ABC, CBS, NBC and reading the New York Times and other leftist media years ago. They are nothing more than propaganda arms of the Democrat party. The irony is that many "professionals" in the industry aren't even willing to admit that just maybe their reporting is biased. As their viewership/readership continues to crash, maybe they will finally wake up and realize that they do have an important role in society. And it is not to promote a leftist agenda.
Regardless of the stupidity of the left, the right is mobilized and energized. Hopefully, strong Conservative leaders will emerge and lead us out of the pit of liberal hell which Obama and friends have taken us.
UPDATE: Founding Bloggers has video taken of our favorite CNN reporterette after the hit piece.
