One of the reasons the mainstream media get away with their agenda-driven lies and distortions is that there are too few in sufficiently powerful positions to call them on the carpet. Thanks to the internet, and talk radio, that is occurring more and more these days (as was most recently evident in the resounding defeat of the 'immigration reform' bill), but the mainstream media are still succeeding in disseminating agenda-driven lies whose results are influencing the minds of the 90%+ uninformed among us ... and, worse, re-writing history. All one has to do is ask the average man on the street about his views on global warming. Rather than telling you that it is a politically-invented power grab, designed to rob our children of their individual liberties, he will launch into a memorized diatribe about how humanity must stop being so globally selfish.
Whether or not Murray committed suicide (and I highly doubt it), the media will spin this tragedy to minimize the role Amass played in the outcome. They will seek to demean her character at every turn, and they will ultimately downplay, if not eliminate, the role that the heroic application of the Second Amendment played in saving the lives of hundreds of Christian worshippers here in America.
As one FReeper wrote yesterday, ‘I guess they [the mainstream media] will never forgive her for stopping what could have been the most news-worthy bloodbath in history! They were probably orgasmic over the thought of hundreds of Christians gunned down in church in America.’
As unpalatable as that statement may seem, I do believe that there are some in decision-making positions in the media who feel exactly that way. Their love for their fellow man is too often trumped by their desire for a powerful story and their need to fulfill an obsessive political agenda.
We need to continually hold their feet to the fire, without compromise, whenever a lie or distortion threatens to create ‘history’ out of whole cloth – because, although we will necessarily see to it that those within earshot of us have access to the truth, we must consistently remind ourselves that the majority of Americans do not take the time to ferret it out -- and future young Americans sitting in future history classes cannot survive on a rancid diet of left-leaning lies.

Allegiance and Duty Betrayed
Amen!
It is true that the MSM and their abettors in the DNC and the left, and all too many who would like to call themsleves conservatves, will downplay the clear heroine role that Jeanne played as an inspired Christian woman who sought God's council through fasting andd prayer, received it, and then acted upon it, placing herself, with her firearm where God wanted her and then taking no thought of her own life to confront and defeat this deranged killer.
Her faith, her willingness to act on it, and her understanding of and use of the 2nd amendment are the key stroies here...but are points our internal enemies will ignore and gloss and smooth ove4r.
With that, I go back to my commnets in post 79, because those people amongst us, who oppose the American ideals and foundational principles, do not understand, believe, or count on that same God in Heaven working through the rest of us, even as He did through Jeanne...and therein lies their ultimate defeat:
It is up to each of us, through whatever means are provided by that same Hand of Providence for our disposal, to spread the word of this occurance ourselves.God bless you and yours Joanie. Merry Christmas and the best of the season and the upcoming New Year to you.
That same God in Heaven, our Heavenly Father who heard Jeanne's heartfelt cries for direction, and then provided it to her after her fasting and prayer in such a marvelous way, will not ignore our own cries and appeals...and efforts!
As the Shamnesty proposal went down in flames due to the public cry over it, we can serve as instruments in God's hands in raising the type of awareness this information, this occurance, this witness before God and man, deserves.
Emails, forums, talk shows, cell phones, the internet as a whole...avenues have been opened to us at this time in history precisely, I believe, by that same merciful God, to allow us to circumvent and get around the tyrants and corruption around us as surely as Jeanne's footsteps were guided to circumvent the tyrant that she faced. If we will have and then exhibit the faith that she did, then He will also guide our footsteps and there is no telling what good will come of it.
So on goes the drumbeat that this is gonna happen. When? After a week, a month or a year, when no one's talking about the story any more? After her inevitable book is at the top of the Amazon charts? After she's been elected to some office?
You're looking for monsters under the bed and threatening a backlash to a phenomenon that simply isn't there.
