“Ok, but that doesn’t really help me with exactly what I want to know. Is the reason these organizations don’t take up this issue because they don’t believe it’s unconstitutional or because they believe Obama was born in Hawaii?
More afraid of Alinsky BS tactics. So they are moot on the Obama issue. But they know full well Obama is not an NBC regardless where he was born.”
Correct, RS. Think Goerge Allen/macaca. I think many, many conservatives missed one of the major points of that shameful episode. Yes, the MSM wanted to defeat Allen. But they ALSO wanted to send a message. To wit: touch The Won, and the smear, slime you’re-a-racist MSM mud-machine will turn on you like a monster, and It Will Never Stop. It will be ugly. It will be relentless. And you WILL be destroyed.
Anybody that doesn’t appreciate this fact just didn’t follow the Allen-macaca debacle. Day after day, week after week, month after month Allen was demonized, brutalized, smeared and savaged. Pols take notice of this type and level of viciousness. They are scared witless (if you get my drift) of running afoul of the MSM slander-machine. It’s a shame, but that’s the way it is.
Fortunately the truth will come out without their help. It will take a little more time, but the exposure of Obama’s fraud is inevitable. That will be the final (figurative) nail in the coffin of the MSM’s credibility. This is the legacy of all extreme Malignant Narcissists. They ultimately implode, and take their closest supporters with them.
And - those conservatives who have courage - if they speak up and speak out, and act on their convictions, will destroy the power of the MSM/leftist mafia. The MSM/leftist mafia have power because conservatives have abdicated. Conservatives (what to speak of RINOs) acting like scared little neutered bunny rabbits has emboldened the left. If one conservative speaks out, as you mentioned, they will do everything in their power to destroy that person.
But how about if 10 speak out? Or 20? Or 50? Or 100? All the way from State representatives and senators to governors, to Congress. Anyone who has a soap box. Mostly they’re scared, neutered, giving in - cowards!
I look forward to see what the newly elected Rs in the House will do and say. I hope they have the courage of their convictions.
It’s the cowards’ faults as much as it is the leftist slimes’ faults.
Just had a long discussion with my son about the state of America, and about the DC media cabal’s effect on Congress-critters who were elected because they were decent and seemed to understand what needs to be done. We send good people to DC and once they get in the culture where they try to get in good with the liars in the media, it rots them from the outside in.
That’s why we can’t fix DC without also addressing the lawlessness and corruption in the media, law enforcement, and courts. That’s why my goal is not necessarily to get rid of Obama, but to create a system of real accountability where even if we got a crook like Obama in office, he would be powerless to tear this nation apart.
It’s sort of like the terrorist thing. When a terrorist succeeds you use that experience to learn how to make that never be able to happen again, because there will ALWAYS be another terrorist trying to get on the airplane, and there will always be terrorists who actually make it onto the airplane. The point is to have the system be able to correct itself so that the terrorist can never be successful.
Obama is basically the equivalent of a terrorist who made it into the White House. Not only do we need to get him out of there before he blows up this whole nation, we need to figure out how he was able to get there, and change our system so we can identify and prevent somebody like him from ever again getting access to blow up the country. And we need to figure out how to keep him or anybody else like him from being able to blow up the country even if he gets in the plane/WH.
This is Homeland Security 101. We have no functioning DHS right now because when an impostor gets into the White House he gets to stack the deck against America, against accountability, against the Constitution.
We need to educate Congress on how critical their role of approving appointees is. That cannot ever afford to be pooh-poohed. We CANNOT AFFORD to have anti-Americans in regulatory or law enforcement positions. It is too critical to our entire system to allow hacks to take over those roles.
And - getting back to your post - we have to neuter the crooked media. There is a class of people who believe everything CNN tells them. They don’t hear anything but that and it suits them fine because they like the status quo. I told my son that our job is to convince our neighbors, as winsomely as possible, that they need to know the truth before it’s too late. This eligibility issue, when it finally breaks open, will reveal to everyone just how crooked the media powers-that-be really are, and how dangerous it is.
Somebody mentioned the Saudis owning all our media. I don’t know if that’s accurate or not, but if it is that tells us all we really need to know. If we allow that to happen, this nation is suicidal.
And that’s why I’m gonna put in a plug here for everybody to pitch in for Free Republic. I finally talked to my husband about pitching in here, and he was OK with $10/month. It’s not much, but it’s what we can do. I just put it to pay on PayPal and now I feel tons better and we’ll just eat PBJ sandwiches instead of meat for a couple meals each month. Maybe I’ll call it Freeper PBJ Night or something.
We need a voice that is independent of the Saudis and Soros. Period. If we give that up, the nation is history.
