We can all readily agree with Jonah Goldberg on this one. The only good news is that the MSM have completely abandoned even the slightest pretense of objectivity making their blatant bias harder to ignore by those who still want to pretend the national news outlets are anything more than a PR arm of the Democrat party’s liberal wing. In short, the MSM are fast losing credibility. Unfortunately, not fast enough,. They still have some power to persuade the gullible and naive - and they do. Exhibit A: President Barack Hussein Obama.
This country is finished, and it is abundantly clear that only a few in The Government (capitals intentional, because it obviously isn’t “our government” any longer) want to do anything about it.
I am actually beginning to welcome the reset button that collapse will bring. There is so much deep-seated corruption, so much lying, so much gutlessness and stupidity and backstabbing and chickenheartedness at so many levels of society and government that only a cleansing fireball of destruction will turn things around. The sentiment espoused by Col. Frank Slade that “Somebody needs to take A FLAMETHROWER TO THIS PLACE!” has never held more truth than it does right now.
I’m done fighting City Hall. I’ll put my time in on republican primaries to try and cleanse some of the dog$h!t from our own party, but I wil never donate to nor cast a vote for any Socialism Lite candidate ever again. The GOP can FOAD.
Instead, the people who hang them from lightposts will likely be those whose acts of violence are increasing and ignored by the selfsame journolists who try to blame us.
I don’t understand why he tortures himself watching the MSM. If you do you just get angry. There are intelligent Lib sources out there you can read if you want a smart, non-propaganda Lib point of view. Or you can watch the MSM to analyze how they report news like Media Research Center does. If you do that, you know you will be encountering bias so it doesn’t upset you. No conservative should watch any MSM with any expectation that what they present is fair. Expect that it is all 100% agenda driven.
Remember how he was a Christian, a Teapartier, a follower of Pam Geller and Mark Steyn?
Well, maybe. But it turns out the guy is a complete nutjob:

But who cares? Being the NY Slimes means never having to bear any responsibility for the smears and character assassinations that are the liberal media's stock in trade.
There's a problem right there. Personally, I do not like anybody who (in Todd's case, clearly) sides with those who wish to destroy traditional America and its families. Stop trying to "get along", Jonah. If somebody is a leftist scumbag, they are a leftist scumbag and there is nothing to "like". Nothing.
OP: completely agree.
But just remember that the very definition of liberalism allows for the ability to 1)lie 2)be hypocritical 3)posture about “righteousness” without regards to #1 and #2.
Thats becuase pure and simply, for liberals, the ends justify the means. Everytime, all the time.
Conservatives define a good fight, they define a fair fight. They adhere to basic rules of truth and logic.
In this respect, I just don’t let my emotions get the better of me when I hear the VP and a congressman describing the tea party as terrorists.
Because they are who they are. They are lying, deceitful, hypocritical people who will never change.
THE LSM are the same people, so they will always support this behavior and will never call it out.
The only thing we can do is:
1) dont allow yourself to fall to these tactics or get to discouraged when you see it.
2) continue to communicate with conservatives
3) support those who are able to communicate conservatism to the public like Rush and Sean and Mark etc.
4) work within the system the best you can in the school systems, the elections, politics, media etc.
It aint over till its over.
Remember the elections of 2010 for some moral encouragement. Those were historic.
I still think conservatism is winning and rebounding.
Better sooner than later.
I truly believe in American exceptionalism, and knew that the time would come when the left would have to show itself for what it is. I hear the sound of an approaching tidal wave- I think the demonRATs hear it, too. It is the only explanation for the hysterics and hyperbole coming from that dim side.
All the people ever need in this country is the right information and they will do the right thing. They are getting that info and they are seeing the true face of leftism. That is all it will take.

Instead, those jackwagons are ramping it up?
To quote the great American philosopher F. Gump: "Stupid is as stupid does."
Off subject, but I watched The American President last night. I saw it in 1995, when it came out.
So, it is set 16 years ago and the premise is that we *must* do something about Global Warming immediately, or we will all die.
The entire movie is blatant liberal bias...disguised as entertainment.
What always cracks me up is that you could give the liberals every single thing they want and even they would absolutely HATE what they’d end up with. That’s how ignorant and dumb they are.
We on the right are the only thing protecting them from their own terrible ideas. And we get accused of the most heinous things because of it.
Very, very frustrating.
You tell ‘em, Jonah. (fistbump)
Amen. The left is REALLY in a hissy fit mood today. I got into it twice with co-workers, each of whom is a Hussein cultist, because I do not think the GG fiasco was genuine. I was blasted, told I was partisan, and shouted down.
Another called me a bully for expressing an alternative POV without apology.
My response was to tell them they were hurting my feelings. :-D
Mark
Strong ending!
As usual, my head is going to explode. I held out some hope for a couple of weeks. but the mainstream republicans have proven yet again that they have no friggin guts.
a. when nobama lies, which is often, they should call him a liar and be done with it
b. when we are 14 trillion in the hole and adding 1.4 trillion every year and growing, we need to cut that 1.4 down to zero NOW not in two, or three or five, much less ten years
c. when being interviewed by the lamestream media, get your points across. Screw them and their partisan, a$s nine questions
d. do NOT touch our defense budget before getting MAJOR cuts in the entitlements first.
e. when the media lies, call them liars. just be prepared to point it out in simple terms.
I feel like Rush. Tired of depending on a bunch of wussies to do the right thing against a bunch of leftist extremist hypocritical jerks.
To hell with them all.
BRAVO to every word.
...the Ruling Class hesitates to call al Queda “terrorists”....
