Honestly, I believe the core of the country has actually swallowed the constant lies of the MSM. We here know people in Iraq, read their emails, their blogs, listen to what they have to say.
We have a better view of what is going on because we've made it our job, hobby, or perhaps duty, to not rely on editors from backgrounds far removed from real America. They filter reports, only allowing things that catch their interest, things that support their outlook - and that outlook as we have demonstrated time and again - is completely anti-American.
So Joe Public and Jane Worker come home at night, tired and cranky, and expect that the people on the news are as decent and truthful as themselves - so they rely on them to fulfill THEIR duty and report what is actually happening. They instead are contantly drummed into defeatism by a chorus of idiots singing a song of hate-America-first. Lies are their instruments, and that's all that anyone gets from the MSM.
We know better because we get the information that editors sort through and chop up. Basically, in the last few years, we've had to become our own media, become our own editors and reporters. We know how wrong the media has gotten everything. We know how everything this President has done and everything we as a country has achieved has been badly misrepresented by the media.
It's hard to ignore the constant drumbeat of defeatism, it is sorely hard to break the Big Lies that have 80% of the airwave time - and this is what happens when a culture is propagandized to hate itself.
It breaks my heart, to tell the truth. But it could have been much, much worse.
As is, I expect nothing good to come from the Democrats. They're deranged, and they even believe their own lies - so anything is possible.
One thing is now most probable - with Dems in power, we're going to die by the thousands again here in America by another attack. And another, and another. Blood's on their hands, and the MSM is as much or more to blame when it happens.
The night is still young ;-)
Seriously, you are correct, if the Republicans can hold the Senate and keep the Democratic House wins to around 20 seats, it won't be a bad night for the Republicans. Although we won't hear that from MSM.
With all due respect, that is a load of bullsh**.
Joe Public and Jane Worker are the same disloyal, feckless, spiteful, and ungrateful bastards who sent me to Vietnam, and then threw Baggies full of s*** at me when I came home. They are the same ones who say they "support the troops but oppose the war" and talk down to my son, my nieces, and my nephews who wear the uniform. They are the ones who elected the Congress that voted to cut and run in 1974, and they have now elected the next cut-and-run Congress in 2006. They have chosen to squander the lives of our children and waste their heroic sacrifice. The only thing I can say good about them is that they only sacrificed 3,000 of our children to no end instead of 52,000. This country has shown itself to be truly unworthy of its defenders. Joe Public and Jane Worker deserve the jihadist attacks on America that will inevitably follow our withdrawal from Iraq. Joe Public and Jane Worker: f*** you, you're on your own dealing with al-Qaeda. My family will not contribute one more drop of our blood to your defense. We will no longer do your dirty work. You've always hated us. Fine. We hate you, too.
