So why don't the media on our side get the huevos to expose more of what is going on? What is really disheartening about this is that when I have directly said to some leftists that they are following socialist dogma, they agree! Somehow many in our society have come to believe that Communism is a good thing!
I don't know why, I emailed this to Rush & Michael Savage, but do any liberals or independants even listen to either of them?
You are asking the wrong question. The media has bet its huevos on the success of the Kerry campaign and the efforts to steal this election. After what happened in Florida the question should be why didn't the GOP attempt to legislate electoral reform to fight vote fraud, oppose McCain-Feingold, and get the embedded reporters in Iraq into the heart of Saddam's dungeons of torture and mass graves?
Expose it? The media is a combination of two things. There are those who are deliberate participants in assisting the Kerry campaign. And there are those that have been indoctrinated in the public schools and universities of this country who lack historical perspective and believe moral clarity is dangerous and intolerant. Their orientation and singular goal is to read any misstep by the United States as evidence of the bankruptcy of our policy and leadership.
I have previously posted a part of Kerry's Senate Viet Nam testimony. It's a damning perspective and one that cannot be dismissed by youth or the passion of his advocacy since is entire public record says he continues to believe the same thing. Kerry was speaking about the foolishness of our military power against the phony threat of communism. He believed our focus was at the expense of the publics needs and this in turn made us vulnerable.
"...society is structured on as a whole, is an attempt to satisfy their felt needs, and you can satisfy those needs with almost any kind of political structure, giving it one name or another. In this name it is democratic; in other it is communism; in others it is benevolent dictatorship. As long as those needs are satisfied, that structure will exist."
So, then as today, John Kerry does not see freedom and liberty or its defense as the defining success of a government or the primary scream of the individual. Instead he sees us a collection of needs to be met. Most damning is that he says democracy, communism and benevolent dictatorships are equally able to succeed.
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.
Once you lose your liberty you will never get it back.
