We covered a lot of this yesterday at an Executive committee meeting. They are vexing problems but through the new media we will get our messages out.Best bet, destroy the old media keep promoting the New Media,works for us.
Excellent point!
Obama and Hillary’s foreign policy mess all over the Middle East is surely something that GOP should highlight...that is, if we can get our own MB sympathizers and Obama apologists like McCain and Graham out of the way...lol.
I am even seeing some conservatives and liberals uniting on this Egypt issue. Bottom line... Nobody knows WTH is going on...lol.
Yes. How F’n sad, huh? I spent 22 years of my life in Service to My Country, and yet, 16 years later, I see it all tearing away like a pi$$-soaked paper bag.
And New Yawkers! How proudly arrogant they were during 9/11, but we were all behind them. They pi$$ed that away with their hatred of the Republican/Conservatives, love of the democrats, and even their desire to let the very Islamics who rained down death on THEIR city to build a Victory Mosque at that very SITE.
Shameful isn’t a strong enough word!
this is where conservatives LOSE EVERY TIME.
We need to get emotional with our reason. We feel strongly about our issues and empathize with the average citizens—black, white, hispanic, whatever. Yet somehow by NOT presenting that we look just as the Dems describe us...rigid, mean, cold and angry. Instead of getting angry with the Libs phony emotionalims we should come back with our prerspective, but also couch it along with “feelings” (cue barbara streisand here, ha).
Christie really does this very well and Paul Rand shows that empathy.
Meanwhile Blumenthal looks like a robot..ha. He’s the kind of guy that was the Jerk in the Frat House and would have been fragged by his troops was he in the military.
The New Media, as constructed, is not enough.
Jeff Bezos bought the Washington Post for $230 million.
We need rich conservatives to start DOING THE SAME.
That includes television networks! Murdoch and Fox News don’t go far enough. In fact, I think most of us agree that they’re not really Conservative, just not as biased.
MSNBC, now there is bias! Why can’t Conservatives have a similarly biased network? I have heard some say that we shouldn’t stoop to their level. Well, it’s not like we don’t believe in our version of the truth, and we should be proud to promote it.
And yet, we get constantly browbeaten by the Left when we show love of and for America, God, our history. They HATE our traditions and culture, and yet the vast majority of the LIV’s, who mostly do not hate America and God, NEVER get to hear a vigorous defense! No wonder they thing Zimmerman stalked and killed Trayvon, among thousands of other lies.
Kimberly Strassel is AWESOME!
she writes great articles in the WSJ and is very strong and articulate!
In keeping with Mark Levin's proposed term limits amendment, the Sunday TV Shows should limit the number of appearances by "guests" to once per year.
I like it, but the Journ-O-Lists are not going to waste a propaganda tool like McCain and Linda by limiting their weekly appearances!
FR ALWAYS turns to crappolla during the Beg-a-thons, in porder to get more $$ coming in to “fix it”...I have seen this phenomenon for a MINIMUM of the past 8 Beg-a-thons!! Get used to it...it is “routine”
I don’t buy it.
Free Republic is more often in a Freep-a-thon than not. That means the site would be hosed up more often.
When the site is acting good, it is very, very good. And that is the norm.
Considering all we ask it to do, it is amazing. That things go a little haywire from time to time is not totally unexpected.
Plus, like most conspiracy theories, the fallacy is that you can’t keep a secret a secret for long, and I don’t think it would be that obvious.
It’s starting to get a bit more clear.I think we now know that the MB are the bad guys. Big bad terror types and should not be supported. Especially, when the military is run by a well thought of guy educated here in the US seeking democracy.
Great idea AB lets hope it happens
It may be clear to us, but our GOP leadership is all over the map right now and I might add, so are the democrats.
We even have Cruz and Rand Paul promoting a cut in aid to Egypt now. None of them can say why this is in our national interests though, other than saying...’the law is the law’..blahblahlah. I can’t figure out if they are getting bad intel from Obama’s intelligence agencies or coming to these conclusions watching a horribly biased world press. The time to cut off aid was when Morsi was turning Egypt into a totalitarian Islamist state! None of them..Obama or McCain, made moves to do that at that time. it was only when Morsi was overthrown that they both started floating the idea.
Something is fundamentally out of whack in this country on both sides of the aisle IMHO. I am guessing it is because the fish rots from the head down.
We have ingrained the very idea of democracy and elections as perfect things that must be preserved at all costs. Yet people forget the Nazi party--and Adolph Hitler's--rise to preeminence in Germany happened because Germans voted for them!
Lot's of evil regimes have popular support. That doesn't necessarily make them friends of America because some fruitcake or nut wins an election.
Proof?
Nov 6th, 2012. Barrack Hussein Obama* wins re-election.
*j/k, because I will support my countrymen's decisions, but WILL NOT if they collectively, through a vote or other means, try to take away my Constitutional, no, GOD-GIVEN rights.
Kabar said it best in his post about what happened when we deserted the Shah of Iran's military. IMHO, 9/11 thru our current war in Afghanistan is a result of that debacle.
Us older folks remember this. Ford never said that, but it made good copy and assuaged liberal hate against all things Republican.
So, today's headline would be something like:
REPUBLICAN ARE AGAINST DEMOCRACY!
It really sucks not having an edit button on postings so I could correct my mistakes.
REPUBLICANS ARE AGAINST DEMOCRACY!
Larri, Ah had ta force it, but Ah got mah hunnert!
