I agree that the responsibility of any possible shutdown of the government should rest with the Democrats. The reality of the situation, however, tells me that will not happen. It doesn’t matter what the truth is to the media. They will make sure the responsibility is laid heavily on the shoulders of the Republicans. I don’t agree with that, not in the least, but it is a reality.
We are not just fighting against the liberals in Congress and the White House, but also the liberals in the media.
When I wrote that Cruz’s effort to defund Obamacare was “doomed to failure”, it was for that reason alone. I wholeheartedly support his fight and his tactics.

This is not reality, this is defeatist.
Fact 1: Liberal media viewership and readership is waning year over year.
Fact 2: Conservative media is growing robustly.
Fact 3: Conservatives form a plurality of voters and a majority if the 6,000,000+ strong blue collar Perot bloc are included.
Of course the New York-DC liberal media will grind it into you that resistance is futile and apparently with you they have succeeded.
But I ask you what prompted Americans to sweep statehouses and the House just a few short years ago against all of the liberal media spin?
So, so right.
But SO WHAT!!!
Here's the truth: Most Americans think the media is full of crap.
So what the media does is irrelevant EXCEPT in that so many people simply cannot find the fortitude to STAND UP AND FACE DOWN the illusion it produces of what America is. The media is is made up of about 99.9 percent socialist-leaning liberals, but American society is made up of at best 30 percent socialist-leaning liberals, at least among LEGITIMATE voters, not the cheaters and multiple-voters and manufactured and ginned voters the Democrat party "brings" to the polls every election. In real on-the-ground terms, socialist-leaning liberals are a decided minority in America; their candidates win because Democrats cheat; if Democrats didn't cheat, they'd lose because we outnumber them.
But in the media, socialist-leaning liberals are a vast majority, and so that is the picture the media presents to America and the world of America. The problem isn't so much the media, as it is Americans not being able to perceive that the media FALSELY REPRESENTS reality.
