What you say is perfectly true — but it cannot be ignored that this could not be happening without the express “permission” of this country. They are where they are in power, privilege, control, influence, and government because we as Americans put them there. And for that, we will all pay as we have been. Although we as conservatives are not directly responsible, we are indeed part of a larger mass of people who have allowed this country to be apathetic and dependent and screaming about our “rights.” When people get away with treason by way of a very sad and dangerous misinterpretation of the first amendment, it’s time for us to wake up. All of us.

This is fair and true.

I would add that what is unusual here is that while traditionally a 2-term president walks away from the game upon leaving office, having no further possible options, and thus has never had the possibility of a reason to try to keep control of his party and do something later....obviously the Clintons found a way, and have enough support in the Media to not be laughed out of town for the sheer audacity of their plan. The media, a megacorporate elite which doesn’t give a damn what sheeple think, has been complicit in this from the start. I candidly do not believe those entities are subject to market forces in any way in the planning and timing of their political propaganda efforts.

We all will pay, one way or another, but the fact this is even happening at all represents a dangerous concentration of power in our political system. (We have the prospect of the Clintons directly controlling the DNC for *24 years* if Hillary gets 2 terms, and even if she loses they might be able to keep control of the party).

Actually I would amend my previous comment - this could not happen without the express permission of the Major media, meaning GE, Viacom, Time-Warner, Disney, and the major print conglomerates including Gannett, NYT. While some are losing market share, it seems they just don’t give a damn and they are going to force their political agenda down our throats regardless of what it costs them.

I found a money-quote from 1993’ish regarding the Clinton Healthcare plan on FR recently which summed up the Media coordinated efforts to direct society -

“Senator Rockefeller also suggested news organizations “are anxious and willing to receive guidance [from the Clinton Administration] on how to time and shape their [news] coverage.””

I realize Murdoch has done very well with Fox news, but at the same time I do not believe the media are subject to market forces in terms of the type of control and coordination of the big picture that they exercise.
