Obama outspent McCain 4:1, benefited from voter fraud, and had 9 out of 10 journalists working for his campaign and he didn't win it by a land slide? If any one of those advantages were taken off the table Obama would have been sent home crying back to Indonesia.
The money won't stop now. Voter fraud will now be a constitutional right or something. That leaves one thing: infiltrate the media.
Back in the mid-1990’s a friend of mine, who was an apolitical music reviewer, said that he never saw such intolerance as exhibited by the editor of the college newspaper. The paper was all left-wing prattle. But he also added that they hadn't hired any Republicans as none had applied. In his words “they're all out starting businesses or whatever”. So we make the country work while journalists serve as full time propagandists for the forces of evil.
People have said in this thread that they'll stop doing the hard work and that they'll take a menial job or farm or be a bum. Be a journalist and start informing the public.
We honor, rightly, a young person who joins up and fights for freedom with a gun. We, ourselves, tend to work away at actually adding to the GDP. We don't give a thought to professions that shape public opinion—that is below our pay grade. Yet this Republic, we all know, is to be lost from within, not from without. And it will be lost when people don't know what it is they are losing and who is taking it and when they don't think it is worth fighting for.
So here it is: there is no Galt’s Gulch, and if you shut off your part of the economy then it will go to China or India. Starve the beast? The beast will borrow against your grand children while they nationalize your 401K. Infiltrate the media and start reporting who, what, when, where, and how. Ten serious journalists could have stopped Obama's campagin dead. Stop the post-modern, relativistic prattle and the he-said she-said style of reporting. A sort of, kind of conservative news channel and talk radio is not enough. We need to infiltrate the AP and be the one to file the stories to begin with. We need to buy up local papers and pour a big can of America into them. If you think about it, wasn't that what Mrs. Rand was really doing when she wrote her book—she was informing and influencing people and what, fifty years later, we're here quoting her even though not 1 in 10 here are objectivists or whatever.
Best Post of the Night PING!
I would not deter anyone from being a journalist, but I've been doing what I do for too long to waste the knowledge I have. Somebody else will have to do that part.
My suggestion is not that we all stop spending and investing. It does us no good to become poor. My suggestion is to direct our capital to places where it will enrich ourselves and our like-minded allies, while denying it to those who oppose us.
Let those who voted for Obama have a recession where they live and work. We can have a booming economy amoungst ourselves.

A very good post to chew on.
So the next question is the means - are you suggesting we pool our resources to buy these media outlets?
