As I've said numerous times on this thread, week after week, the driveby media is, IMHO, the bigger enemy. democrats do what democrats do to get elected and have power. Unethical for sure, but it is as old as mankind. The press however, are willing agents supporting one goal: Leftist/Socialist/Communist ideology.
They don't care if their viewership is down (witness MSNBC and CNN) or if they're losing money (Wash Post, Newsweak); getting the message out is paramount.
And they also HATE our guts, and some would be happy to see all conservatives eradicated in concentration/death camps, or at least stifled and forced to shut up and take it by the rest.
Off topic but I’ll say it anyway. I looked it up too. From day one our country has pitted the Federalists against the anti-Federalists. The Federalist Papers present a compelling argument as to how our country will (or rather should) have worked, but it hasn’t.
It did until Lincoln and a Civil War that required more Federal controls and then FDR moving us forever to a socialistic left. From that point on we’ve had progressive movements from both parties and little in the way of limiting the federal government.
