Life Magazine attacked Senator McCarthy on April 10, 1950 for his anti-communism speech given in West Virginia. This was the beginning. From that point forward, promotion of marxist ideology became the raison d’être of popoular media.
So, indeed, you are correct. It is not just the military.
But I’d would like to offer a message of hope for you, fellow FReeper.
The Diane Sawyers, along with Barak Obama and all of the leftists today, are on the wrong side of history. Before it is all done, before the history is written, people will remember folks like that the way they remember members of the American Nazi Party of the 1930s.
This is historical inevitability. George W. Bush will be recorded as far ahead of his time, and the first to take a stand against the evils of jihadist fascism that all decent civilization must eventually confront.
People will spit when they say Obama’s name, remembering him as an appeaser at best, traitor at worst. His best case would be a Neville Chamberlin, Benedict Arnold is more likely.
i don’t give a Shiite about history
what i am interested in is now.
history will be for someone when i am long gone
now is for me
thanks for the message of hope....
but its not what i need
how many could have been saved if Chamberlain had any sense?
“When Stanley Baldwin retired in May 1937, Chamberlain took his place as Prime Minister. His premiership was dominated by the question of policy towards the increasingly aggressive Germany, and his actions at Munich were wildly popular among Britons.” Wikipedia
I read “the Last Lion” an account of the years between WWI and WWII and Winston Churchill’s life during that time. The similarities to our situation today are frightening.
Liberal appeasers were in control...the press, the government...all of it. The economy was in shambles, and was ample justification for refusal to take notice of the coming disaster.
Europe was destroyed. Only America and Russia were saved....and Russia, just barely....and, for what? for Stalin and the 50 year Cold War.
History is witness to the stupidity of Chamberlain, yes. But at what cost?
And, of course, the question is before us now...what price will be paid for this lunacy?
I was actually already thinking Bozo . . .
The Diane Sawyers of the media have to follow the rules laid out by their big bosses. Gee, I wonder who owns most of our media.
