It’s the media stupid!
So why aren’t we attacking the media? You get them and you get the liberal politicians
Remember...it was Coulter and Rove who helped force Romney down our throat.
A rant from the past - by a 19 year old:

Chao: Define, “people in uniform”
I serve part time in the Marines, in a combat role no less, and if the $#!7 hits the fan, I’ll be one of the first on the line to die. I’m an E-2, so I don’t get paid jack-squat either. And technology? My issued M16A2 rifle was built by Colt and has a very low serial number, and Colt lost the contract to build M16’s for the US government to FN Manufacturing in 1988....
Hey, I agree that the “suits” who run gigantic corporate enterprises that make cutting-edge technology are more interested in money than the well-being of mankind, and frankly it disturbs me that wealth and power are becoming one. I know that sounds wierd for someone studying engineering, but I’m also buddhist, so wealth and materialism is pretty darned low on my priority list anyway.
One thing keeps popping up in my mind though... a couple years ago I swore an oath, that I would “...support and defend the Constitution of the United states against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same...”
I didn’t join up to be part of some government conspiracy—I joined because I thought it was just one small way that I could contribute to the people of this country... although the discipline didn’t hurt much either. As I think back to that oath, something about all enemies, foreign AND DOMESTIC... I wonder who is really to blame for the degredation of the American society.
My money’s on the American mass media. It seems like you can’t turn on the news without seeing news reports about the death and destruction, and commercials that seem to subtlely induce worthlessness or fear, offering solace in the consumption of goods and services. The way I see it, people in this country (and the attitude is spreading across the globe), are encouraged by corporations and broadcasters to spend more and acquire more stuff, inducing a sense of security in material wealth. Some things, even tradition, can have a spin put on them to make the public needlessly wary—even fearful. Why aren’t houses in this country built with big front porches anymore? Probably because we know more about fictional TV characters than we do our own neighbors....
Though I think this veritable brainwashing may not have been intentional, the people who cultivate this sort of society have a lot of the general public in their pocket, and many are trying to use their positions to reshape the world the way they think it should be, not taking into account any consequence of their actions.
Given a choice and an opportunity, I’d gladly do my part to “restructure” the commercial institutions that poison the society whose flag will one day be draped over my coffin.

Not the solution to what she was saying.
Americans need to take back the universities and media, just as liberals did.
well said
Yes, and many of the low informed voters get their "news" from Jon Stewart and that's about all. No attempt to find out what the "other side" is thinking.
I assume the poster was your son.
Yeah and it was so successfull that he was forced to sell it. Mr. Know It All
/sarcasm>
You’re right, Ms. “Hurray for Romneycare” ... let’s start with you!
It is a coup that she is allowed on those shows. If she were not such a draw, because of her looks and learning and wit and charm, she wouldn’t be there. She’s beating them at their own game. This deserves cheers. I wish all conservatives could manage to do it.
Be sure to bookmark this poster for the 2016 election. This evil woman has more skeletons in her closet than John Wayne Gacy...another good Democrat.
