Below is the text of a cover note (with link to this article), which I've just sent out to everyone on my formidable email list. I trust that it will speak for itself.

"This is breathtakingly good. It is a true TOUR DE FORCE! - actually, the best piece I've read YET.........bar none.........about the realities of the election and the naked truth about the NY Times, network news and all associated liberal outlets. This really needs to be widely posted, printed and circulated everywhere on the net. This is the kind of analysis and "call to arms" which conservatives need in order to finally destroy liberalism, just as we are going about destroying terrorism. The two aren't all that different.

I don't know who this writer is - "Pickrell," but he is brilliant. Please post, publish and/or disseminate this thunderous article as widely as you possibly can - everyone! ......but first, READ IT! You will agree with me that "Pickrell" provides our new road map to taking back our country!"

Thanks!

An excellent article! You are certainly correct about the
TIMES. You mentioned the Stalin terroristic regime but
do you know that the most prominent Western shill for the
Terror and the Gulags was TIMES reporter (and Pulitzer
winner) Walter Duranty? And to THIS DAY the TIMES refuses
to repudiate his proven mendacity. Even when he has been
exposed by such Soviet scholers as Robert Conquest, Adam
B. Ulam, and many others. It's true that the Leftist
TIMES has traditionally set the agenda for the rest of the
"mainstream media" but things are changing. They no longer
have their news monopoly. There is now, to just cite a few,
the Internat, talk radio, and more conservative journals.
And, I should add, journalists who have "been there" and
are now publishing books about media bias -- such as
Bernie Goldberg, McGowan, and others. I think the story
of CBS and Rather and its ratings is a metaphor on the
entire liberal media. And, yes, what you and I are doing
right now is a small part of it!

If things got out of hand, and a Jason Blair was exposed, the blame could be laid on a few bad eggs, and swords would be fallen upon. Nothing really serious.

Liberals have the sangfroid of congenital sociopaths. When things get bad, liberals' gravitas index spikes to amazing proportions....... observers get an uncontrollable urge to throw a shroud over them.....they look so grave. And it's all just a show to coverup their failures and foibles.

The Freerepublic site must continue to weld together that which the liberals desparately seek to wedge apart. For the assault upon the war effort of America will intensify on the home front by the Waffen Liberal, the operative of the modern Josef Goebbels .....

Good article regarding The New York Times, etc. Thanks!

The Newspaper of Wreckage


Excerpt:

This has left many conservatives, though they are winning, literally flummoxed. The problem lies with the difference in the mindset between liberals and conservatives. Seldom has this fundamental difference been openly and thoroughly explored, and even though many instinctively understand it, it deserves to be probed to it's logical conclusions.

Conservatives characteristically evaluate the results of their many past decisions, as a regular and on-going part of their lives. They adjust their decision-making process accordingly, in order to do as much good and as little harm as possible. It seems so instinctive to them, as a matter of personal responsibility, that they simply cannot easily understand a mentality which doesn't avail itself of this critical tool. When a course of action proves harmful... conservatives aspire to admit the error, take their lumps and change their actions. When a public office-holder is seen to have violated rules of conduct, yea even as a Speaker of the House, he is firmly encouraged to resign, or be removed. When a policy or course of action produces more good than harm, in the constant trade-off that all of life is, they tentatively consider that it may be a good idea, and carefully, on parole, add it to that collective body of experience that spans thousands of years, and has produced the "wisdom of culture" that we consider our American Birthright, and rightly so. In short, you look at your own "record" and decide what works for you... and what you won't repeat.

Cultural norms weren't abruptly discovered when the first liberal turned sixteen in 1963, and suddenly discovered that he knew more than every adult that ever lived. These collective truths which comprise the inheritance of wisdom which we have been gifted with by our ancestors, were tried and proven, tested to destruction, where necessary, by dozens, hundreds and even thousands of years of hard experience. And, when coupled with the "controlling legal authority of the 10 rules carved into a couple of stone tablets", which cannot be "reviewed and corrected" by the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals, and/or whatever other deeply held beliefs that our melting pot of a nation is gifted with, they together comprise The American Culture. In spite of the best efforts of the Left, Americans by and large still understand the difference between right and wrong, and what responsibility actually means.

In the conservative view of the world, change will be considered only when it can be demonstrated conclusively that the proposed "new order" is superior to what currently inconveniences the 16 year old, (and the older children in California). The adults know that as time passes, the 16 year old will eventually mature, learn responsibility, and become conservative. Or, in some sad cases, not.

Conservatives watched an election where 53% of the electorate slapped aside the distortions and propaganda hawked by the mainstream media, and voted to penalize the party which has opted to take what the conservatives perceive to be the wrong side of nearly every issue. Many conservatives then expected that, having heard the now undeniable roar of Vox Populi...the unspinnable, untwistable Voice of the People...the Liberals will now be forced to re-evaluate the tactics and strategies that they have pursued.

Since this apparently doesn't seem to be happening, many heads are shaking in puzzlement. "What...will it take???"

What needs to be understood more clearly by some Conservatives is the reality of the "feedback disorder" that afflicts the Left. We joke about the lack of this "feedback gene" in liberals, without realizing with sudden shock how close we may have come to putting our finger on the root problem of our time.

There Is No Controlling Feedback Mechanism In The Liberal Mind.

It can be supposed logically that....A: either it was never programmed into them by parents, teachers or other cultural influences...or B: there is a chemical, genetic or other disorder which is preventing the normal maturation of liberals, or C: some unknown mechanism has prevented it from being instinctively activated. No exploration of liberal thought has produced or even postulated a fourth possibility.

Let us be honest about what really angers the conservative. Any objective examination of the liberal agenda which honestly tallies the results of the last 40 years of liberal policy yields a harvest of failure and wreckage that has cost uncounted lives and literally destroyed the prospects of several generations.

Bill Cosby finally understands. The problem is, when it would have mattered 30 years ago, neither he, nor any other of the "acceptable voices" had much more to sell than jokes about drugs and the uptight conservatives. It is to his credit alone, apparently, that he has recently risked condemnation from the "enlightened" by trying to undo some of the damage.



Please let me know if you want ON or OFF my General Interest ping list!. . .don't be shy.

Excellent!

You need to change "Jason" to "Jayson," though.
