Because the mainstream press refuses to see anything wrong in the Obama administration, even the most outrageous actions are given astonishingly gentle treatment – if they get any treatment at all.
So of course we hear almost nothing about the coup d'etat that is under way in the White House.
People have been talking about a "historic realignment," but of course that is nonsense. Most Americans report mostly conservative viewpoints on most issues. That hasn't changed.
What will change, apparently, is how many voters the Obama administration can produce out of thin air to swing the next election. And as many elections as possible after that.
How is Obama going to accomplish this? He has just moved the constitutionally-required census from the Commerce Department to the White House – specifically putting it under the thumb of his political strategist, Rahm Emanuel.
...
The Democratic Party has demonstrated, time and time again, their absolute hatred of Democracy. They hated Bush for bringing democracy to Muslim countries that used to sponsor terrorism. They hate it when Americans who disagree with them use their constitutional rights to speak out for their viewpoint.
And, most of all, they hate democracy when it leads to their losing power. The years of Republican control of Congress made them so insane that they obviously have vowed: Never again.
No matter how stupidly those ordinary Americans vote, they're going to fudge the census so that Democrats will always keep the White House and the House of Representatives.
If this is allowed to stand, we will never have an honest census, or an honest election, again.... Obama and Emanuel and others involved in this coup are counting on the media to sweep this under the rug, so that Americans won't get all agitated about something as dull as the census.
So don't let yourself get bored or distracted. Your vote is about to be discounted. Your most basic freedom as an American – the right to vote and have a real chance at changing things – is being taken away.
Check with your friends in Mexico and Cuba and the old Communist bloc about how much they enjoyed generations of one-party rule.
Because that's what Obama decided to try for in his first month in office.

Moral Clarity BUMP !
This ping list is not author-specific for articles I'd like to share. Some for the perfect moral clarity, some for provocative thoughts; or simply interesting articles I'd hate to miss myself. (I don't have to agree with the author all 100% to feel the need to share an article.)I will try not to abuse the ping list and not to annoy you too much, but on some days there is more of the good stuff that is worthy of attention.
You are welcome to browse the list of truly exceptional articles I pinged to lately. Updated on February 10, 2009. on my page.
You are welcome in or out, just freepmail me (and note which PING list you are talking about).Besides this one, I keep 2 separate PING lists for my favorite authors Victor Davis Hanson and Orson Scott Card.
