Agreed but I think it's common knowledge by now that the media and press are aligned philosophically with the concept of the welfare state, and Democrat causes.
They are in bed together, so to speak with a straight face.
Speaking of the liberal establishment and in bed (with a straight face), check out the post here on Wizbang and the liberal hypocrisy about Foley vs the Vagina Monologues

Well I'm back from Church.
What I mean is this:
The conservatives have logically beaten the socialists.
In other words, the ideals and principles of the Left, their dogma, doctrine, and disciple (ha, something I taught in Catechism today!) have been proven wrong. We have the facts on our side.
We have completed 65 years of socialist programs in this country that have helped less then they've hurt. The New Deal and the Great Society are over, and have failed. They know it.
The Democrat party should be acknowledging their defeat, and working its way back from the loser positions and begun to come up with logical competing ideas. But the DBM has prevented that, by actually trying to hide the loss and stifle the debate.
The press has continued to lie, obscure, and twist facts. They continue to CHAMPION the defunct positions of the Left. The bell curve of folks believe a lot of these ideas because they haven't had a place to go to to see a contrary (and winning) position.
We, Free Republic, are that. Sure, lots of silly stuff, nonsense, and incorrect thinking gets posted here, but due to the free-for-all atmosphere of anybody who belongs to Free Republic to correct, argue or dismiss; and our demand for proof: links, facts, etc, we have become the antidote to the Leftist, short-on-ideas illogical thinking DBM!!!!
