The crush I have on Prof. Hanson is only exceeded by the one I have on Bill Kristol.
Good point. The New Media will be the first target of Obama destruction. The first to go will be Rush Limbaugh...
Interesting that the Russian Republic was overthrown by a Communist putsch in November, 1917. Perhaps in November, 2008 the American Republic suffer the same fate. What’s next? The history book says civil war.
That’d cause too much friction. Watch the video in post 40.
More nails in the coffin.
The Obama campaign has banned The Washington Times, The New York Post and I think! The Dallas Morning Herald (someone please correct me if I’m wrong) from the Obama press plane. Excuse is they need the space for a documentary crew. Of course, Obama hasn’t been documented enough.
The fact that these newspapers have endorsed John McCain couldn’t have anything to do with it.
A preview of what’s to come if Obama is elected—silence all dissention at any cost. It’s only our freedom!
Goebbels would be so proud of our media today. Maybe they’ll even get to take their Pulitizers and Peabodys to the camps with them when they’ve outgrown their usefulness.
“The entire blame for the possible election of Barack Hussein Obama is the American mainstream media.”
I disagree. I believe they’ve been trying to do what they’re doing all along and we’ve had leadership that forced them to check themselves a little. We don’t have that leadership anymore.
The wicked ungodly types have always been here and always wanted to do what they’re doing now but have been kept at bay by the Lord. The Lord has withdrawn His protection a little because Christians have told God they don’t need His protection. After all, as long as we still have a less evil candidate to vote for, who needs God?
Walter Cronkite has a lot of blood on his hands.
Excellent reply FrogMom. Best I’ve read in awhile.
After the election, we need to get to work.
Likely followed by the rise of state controlled "jounalism," if Obama is elected.
I would argue that what we've had for the past forty or so years has been precisely that. Think about it. Has not the Drive-By Media been one of the biggest cheerleaders of all for Big Government? The State had no need to "control" the media. The media acted as their flacks.
We are going to hate the elections ahead; there will be a tsunami of advertising.
You're not crazy; we are being infiltrated.
The good news is if Zero Hussein 0bama loses the media news lose with him.
The news in America will soon be known as “The State Run News” organization i.e. Pravda, ITAR TASS etc......
There has been a long drift toward where the MSM and left side of this country are today. The last year has been a 10 yard sprint so it is very obvious to real thinkers. I fear, unfortunately, that with a democrat in office, the country will soon be in good shape socially, economically, internationally, etc., as reported by MSM and as was the case all throughout the 90s.
Today, as we look back at the 90s we realize there was a lot going on that didn't get much press. Darfur for example. The news and indeed the influential comfort of the general population always seems better with democrats leading the way. This builds complacency and comfort among the masses. Nothing bad seems to be going on so everything must be much better. It is the MSM that sets the emotional tone of the nation, unfortunately.
I believe, to this effect, the slowly boiling pool we find ourselves in never seems like it is killing us except in short moments of awareness (Carter, Clinton, Obama). If the moments of awareness are big enough, we elect folks like Reagan.
Don't forget, it is the press that reports about the press to most of unsuspecting, gullible and the mostly ignorant general population. They just don't know any better.
Our worst hope and America's best opportunity to a return to Reagan Conservatism is a 1975 - 1980 period of leadership. This is unfortunate and creates for me a difficult conundrum.
I am an American first and a Republican second. I push and pull for what I think is best for America no matter who is in charge. I will support the office of the presidency even as I speak in aggressive disagreement with policies and such. That said, if it is going to be a rough next few years, that is if Obama gets elected, for the sake of my children, I hope it is bad enough that Americans get a radical wake up call. I fear, otherwise, our children will be part of the next revolution as America falls from grace as the world's superpower and plunges into disgrace as the very fabric of freedom unravels.
I am optimistic by nature. And I hope for the best for our country. But in the event that it goes bad, I hope it goes bad enough to awaken the apathetic portion of the population that never says much and are out of touch with the status of our republic.
VDH is on his game yet again I see. Brilliant.
I am so with you on this. There is a concerted effort to control the media and take down this country. If people can’t see that, they are blind.
with the resurgence of Communism in Russia it is very frightening.
The media needs to be tossed in the dumpster of history and start fresh.
I see so many Divine interventions in this election it is unbelievable.
I think if we would have had a more right wing, conservative candidate, we wouldn’t have the support of the PUMAs.
While evil is alive and well, God is at work also.
That’s Il Duce’s profile.
