What is going on a century of communist dogma has convinced these people that they are better than you, are smarter than you, know what is better for you than you do. This what is meant when they are called "elites." They believe they are just plain better than you. The rest of us are just the 'common scum.' The 'unwashed masses.' Flyover country. The hicks. The fools.
This is why Tom Brokaw and Peter Jennings circled the wagons around RatherDan, defended him and attacked the White House. They don't care about the "truth" but only care about the outcome. If it furthers their socialist goals then they support that, no matter what the truth is.
They don't expose it because they are part of it. While there never could be a "vast right wing conspiracy" for logistical reasons, there IS a vast left wing conspiracy that has existed for generations. Hitlery used the term "vast right wing conspiracy" because she was familiar with the concept, because she already knew she was part of the vast left wing conspiracy, so the idea made sense to her.
Yes, many do believe that Socialism/Communism is a good thing. It has taken decades of indoctrination. And you can hear someone like sKerry trading on this every time he says he's going to raise taxes on the rich. Or that Bush is "robbing the poor" to give tax breaks to the rich. Any of the common 'class warfare' slogans. Almost every word that comes out of Al Sharpton's mouth is pure socialist playbook.
They are appealing to those people they have already brainwashed, which is about 40% of the country at this point. But in the MSM it is 5 to 1 socialist and among the Beltway journalists it is 12 to 1. That means that Socialists dominate the news rooms reporting from the Capitol by 12 to 1. And never forget, they are the elite, they are better than you.
Thanks. That was an excellent synopsis
