"I think most newspapermen by definition have to be liberal; if they're not liberal, by my definition of it, they can hardly be good newspapermen." - Walter Cronkite
This is perfectly true, as journalism is properly understood.

Because as properly understood, journalism is superficial entertainment which systematically filters out the unvarying things which conservatism nurtures. Journalism emphasizes only the reasons to eat the seed corn, and not the reasons for gratitude for our blessings or for passing them on to future generations.

An Open Letter To John Kerry (by Walter Cronkite)

I am currently reading "When I was a kid this was a Free Country"  G. Gordon Liddy,  it is a good read but depressing, because I agree, I remember the days before I entered the Service, 28 years later it is a whole new world, I am tired, I am looking for my last stand, my hill.  I thought Texas would be it, now I am leaning towards Alaska. 
The World is shrinking and the only True Freedom on the Planet WAS the USA, now it is degrees of Freedom, Percentages.  I have spent my life cooped up with people that I Love but at the same time I sure wish there was a way to put up a friendly neighbor fence, (you can't do that in the Military, pass gas and everyone knows what you had for breakfast), but I digest...
 
What irritates me the most, is the 15 or 30 second news bits that Alphabet News Channels do on Radio, not just here but all over the world, with some of the most %&%$###%$++#@*^ BS that I have ever heard, none of it is good or Pro-USA, after being used to that barrage of BS,  what just makes me want to go total Thomas Jefferson is the absolute Glee that you hear in the Reporters voice.  If I were a younger man and had the opportunity to escort a Mr. Rather or his ilk again in a hostile situation, in a War of attrition I would say that we could chalk one up for the Good Guys if ...
 
Bad things happen all of the time, sometimes bad things happen to people that express their joyful noise at the USA's challenges, losses and expense, if I have ever said that I didn't wish bad things to happen to certain people... I lied.
 
Bad things need to happen, did I say I was tired? 
 
I will cheer when bad things happen to anyone with the alphabet Snooze, to anyone that supports, builds, believes or promotes the alphabet channels garbage, did I say I was tired?
 
I won't be real upset if bad things happen to the alphabet Snooze, to anyone that supports, builds, believes or promotes the alphabet channels garbage, did I say I was tired?
 
Damn, I am tired. I hope that doesn't mean that they are winning.
