Good morning.

Last night was a dark day for conservatism and quite frankly I’m not in much of a mood for political wrangling. You know, with each passing day I see myself becoming more and more radical in my views on the future of this nation and the media that seems to control it.

We have all of the major candidates (or representatives thereof) except Fred Thompson on air this week, a whole boatload of Democrats, and not a single non-candidate Republican.

Ratings coming up...

This is true, jmy, but I haven't entirely given up.

If we get McCain as the nominee and whoever is on the other side, we will have essentially one party, the Government Party, where Government knows best and everyone had better just shut up and go along.

People who think McCain is a good choice because he will fight radical islamists had best realize that the amnesty he would shove down our throats would simply destroy the country from within.

If he actually believes in anthropogenic global warming, he is dumb. He isn't though, so the purpose of pushing that hoax is the desire for government control of as much of the private sector and of people's lives as possible. Horrifying.

SUNDAY MORNING TALK SHOW RATINGS ANALYSIS

Weekend of January 13, 2007
NBC MEET THE PRESS.... 5,345,000 (+454,000)
SYN CHRIS MATTHEWS....~2,800,000
CBS FACE THE NATION... 2,797,000 (-179,000)
ABC THIS WEEK......... 2,774,000 (-266,000)
FOX NEWS SUNDAY....... *,***,*** ( ***,***)
CNN LATE EDITION......   631,000 (- 34,000)
This week's ratings were rather bizarrely reported. First, Nielsen didn't send the cable replay numbers so I have no idea who watched Fox News Sunday on FNC Sunday night. (The live broadcast garnered 1,325,000 viewers.) Second, while I didn't receive data for Fox I did get a rating for the Chris Matthews Show, which gets their ratings reported whenever NBC feels like it and that's usually only every 6 months or so when the show hits second place. Most of the shows lost viewers last week except for, without explanation, Meet the Press. It looks like a ratings blip so I'm not too concerned-- yet. I don't think MTP can sustain such viewership.

I hear you.

Sometimes I think we’ll have to go through some dark age before enough people realize the error in thier ways and start waking up.

Then I remember that far, far more people are aware of Brittany and her latest antics, OJ and his court appearances, and Paris Hilton’s latest arrest or sex video than of the politic future of this nation. And I shudder.

Jmy, a dark age is coming and it will be very, very DARK. Will we survive? Will the American dream that became reality in 1776 survive? Has it really been alive these past few decades? Since 1865? Since Wilson? Since FDR and the New Deal? Since LBJ’s Great Society? Each one of these have been a saber cut on our Constitution.

Come November, I will vote for whomever is the Republican nominee just to keep the dark age from crashing upon us in another Clinton administration. But it will continue to approach with a RINO in office, just not as abruptly.

So I too am very jaded after last night.

You are anything but radical my friend. You are just seeing the reality the DBM does not want anyone to see through unfiltered eyes.
