>>>I think we are being naive to brag that the elections will fix everything when the people we are trying to defeat are the ones who have the power to thwart the election process!
You two are seeing clearly. Most of the media are fullly on board with the propaganda/election-stealing project. Media lies about Tea Parties show Alinsky’s Rule #13 in action: identify, isolate, freeze and escalate.
Conservatives gallantly expect the Left to eventually see the truth and be “fair.” As I’ve posted many times before, that’s like expecting Lucy to finally let Charley Brown kick the football. These people are Marxists! The word “fair” doesn’t exist in their vocabularies. They are determined to win power “by any means necessary.”<<<
I worked for 20 years in the print media.
You are correct in your assessment. I’ve seen this from the inside looking out.
The solution is to create alternate sources of information to compete with the leftist-controlled media.
One example: Take that photo from Searchlight, Nev., showing the crowd, and then paste the sentence from CNN about “dozens” of attendees into the picture. Send out to everyone you know. Then put up on the bulletin board at work, or if you live in a place like Eugene, go down to Sundance and put up on the community board.
And never, ever give up tweaking these bastards.
I'm a former news guy too and had the same inside-out view as you. The real problem is with the Marxist-run universities that pump out fully indoctrinated little comrades who have no knowledge of American history nor traditional American values. Their only mission is to bring about the socialist "Utopia," and they control all aspects of most American media.
I watched dumbfounded as a couple of good conservative friends blissfully allowed their kids to be university-indoctrinated despite my efforts to tell them what was going on. They ended up thinking I was the bad guy, even after the kids emerged as raging radical America-hating Leftists who despised their parents' values and beliefs.
There's a kind of strange psychology at work here -- blind trust in our institutions? -- that runs counter to facts and logic. I don't know if there really is a solution at this late date. The termites have destroyed the structure from the inside. It appears strong and sound but the slightest little push -- as we've seen since Obama's election -- may start it toppling down.
