These are postings from today's "The Patriot"; a no holds barred website that tells things as they are ...not as they would like them to be. “There is something profoundly wrong—something that should trouble all of us—when we have elected Democratic officials who seem more worried about how the Bush administration might respond to Iran’s murder of our troops, than about the fact that Iran is murdering our troops.” —Sen. Joe Lieberman “It has become obligatory for both pro- and anti-war commentators never to mention the possibility of victory in Iraq. The most that anti-war people will admit is that the surge has gained a temporary military advantage in a war that cannot be won militarily. The most pro-war commentators will claim is that they see the possibility of success, perhaps, maybe, someday, somehow. But as of Veterans Day 2007, I think one can claim a very real expectation that next year, the world may see a genuine, old-fashioned victory in the Iraq war.” —Tony Blankley It is an eye opening commentary that the press can't understand why they can't sell newspapers. Is it because of the tripe and spin they call news, is all they write? They blame the internet...if that is the case why does TV news have the same issues...the only folks who watch that clap trap are ...? dare I say it? Those who don't want victory in this war against fanatic muslim fascists, feed on the spun news rather than the truth. Uf-Dah!

Good topic. The popularity, or lack thereof of the "mainstream" press is pretty solid evidence, [and I think better evidence then structured polls like Pew and Gallop], that the American Public knows that they are biased and that they do not agree with the bias. Not all news sources are actually doing poorly. Fox News is growing in audience. One interesting side note. Air America, the Liberal attempt to  have a talk show formatted forum, failed due to dwindling listeners. It was, to put it bluntly, so boring Liberals would not listen. On the other hand, the Sean Hannity's show, (conservative radio as you most likely know) has a hate Hannity hotline that demonstrates many liberals are listening to Hannity.  My point is that Conservatives are apparently more capable of putting on interesting topics and Liberals are not. Could it be that Hannity will give air time to all sides, while Liberal talk show hosts are apparently afraid to give air time to a conservative? I think is is proof that Americans will not reward  the liberal censorship.  It is a sign of hope.

Hope springs eternal. I believe the truth is the torch that lights the way. and I believe the american Press and Electronic media have lost their credibility. It is a sad state of affairs when a trust given by Jefferson's guide...is trashed and not adhered to thereby causing the failure of the bloodline of our heritage...truth. Another rock we can throw at the pervaricator pervert Clintong's "Leadership" or lack thereof. Veritas vos Liberabit—Semper Vigilo, Fortis, Paratus, et Fidelis! Edited 11/14/2007 2:40 pm ET by UfDah

In the nature of wishful thinking, maybe it is a precursor to the eventual implosion of the Democratic party. As Rush once said, cross them if you got them folks!

I don't want the Democrats to go away...I want them to take back their party. It is a wonderful thing we had...Americans All...good debate ...honorable debate from the "LOYAL OPPOSITION" it is what a great family is...divergent, yet loyal to the family... Mess with the least of them you messed with all of them. The disintegration of the family of America to being a large camp of factious peoples...all here for the free ride...rather than diving in and rolling up the sleeves and building and rebuilding the core precept...that of a free nation of free peoples who by their very nature were polite and respectful to one another. That is what all us old timers refer to the great time to live of the 50's and 60's...no locks on doors and kids could be out where ever doing what ever... as long as they were in the house before the street lights were on. What will it take to get it back? It remains to be seen if we have the cajones to do it.

Maybe we really want the same thing. My hope is that the current party will dissolve over internal differences, and those at the extremes will leave to  start other smaller parties,(with no real hope or threat). I simply do not see the loyalty in the opposition that you once knew. I really do not think I will ever see it, because some on the left truely are more loyal to forces opposed to America then to our nation. Anti-war protesters top my list on this one.

The truth has always been difficult to identify in the moment, but painfully obvious in retrospect. This is why only forty something percent of all Americans polled in 1942 were in favor of the fight against Germany, while after the discovery and public release of information relating to the concentration camps the number rose to over eighty percent. After the war's conclusion and the Nuremberg trials, 100% of Americans claimed to have supported the decision to go to war. The difficulty in sifting through the mounds chaff in search of the wheat has grown monumentally. We now have more that bias to consider with every news source, we now have to figure out how much is embellishment, how much is mis-researched (as in citing as authoritative a source that is not), how much is misdirection (trying to have us look in the wrong direction while the truth slips by), and how much is just plain imaginative agenda support. I try to read from sources in different locations and with different agendas and biases and pretty much ignore blogs. I also try to independently verify the original source for the story. Seems to work so far, but is very time consuming and most Americans much prefer sound bite journalism.

THIS is precisely the tenor or my original posted question. In this world of spin and juxtaposition of agenda over fact and truth, the Major Media have been indicted by folks like me as being un-truthful, liers and purveyors of scat news about Paris Hilton...instead of informing us what we need to know. You are undoubtedly familiar with the axiom "Power corrupts; Absolute Power corrupts absolutely." It is my personal observation that the Democrats and their willing co-conspirators of the major press/electronic media and the entertainment world moguls have coopted the party to that of an enemy of the very people they serve...That is Power. And to do so by placing their voting block in the box of poverty and the downtrodden, to the poor Union workers being raped by BIG BUSINESS" all of this designed to keep them in their compartments and unaware of what is really happening to them. We've been there...and seen it You and I...(More you than I) ...yet I defy you to find it in today's news. Only last week did they hint that the SURGE was successful...you ought to read the letters I get ...from the guys doing the heavy lifting...AND the kids along with us for the Birthday gathering last weekend. All to a man are DISGUSTED with the "Dark Side" of the left. Then today the radio newsies came on with the ..."DO you KNOW just how much Fuel OIL our MILITARY (READ THAT UGLY) IS USING...?" It is enough to gag a maggot. Semper Fi Uf-Dah! (some day I'll tell you what that means..LOL"

FUTURE AMERICA? Let the Press do your thinking for you and allow the complete takover of the goverment by the Communists..(lets call them what they are)... I believe this is what awaits you ...in a neighborhood near you... You awake each day to the Muslim muezzin call to prayer from the neighborhood mosque - as millions of Europeans already do. Liberals espouse “diversity is our strength” as Islamic enforcers cruise the cities in their quest to shutter, or harass any establishment that is contrary to Islamic “sharia” Law.  Guns are confiscated and stiff penalties are dished out to citizens who defy the new anti-gun laws.  Women are told to cover their hair and face when in public. You are cautious about attending public events or being part of any large crowd as these are the favorite targets of suicide bombers in their quest to exhibit violence against non-Muslims who resist conversion or surrender.  Dissent has been stifled since the Fairness Doctrine was reinstated. A new Senator is sworn in, one of several Senators that have recently converted to the Muslim faith.  Muslim populated districts are increasingly changing the political landscape by sending more electees to Congress. A recent ruling from the Supreme Court states sharia law does not violate the “separation of church and state.” This ruling paves the way for Islamic controlled municipalities to govern every aspect of religious, political, and personal life of the local populace-- [amounting to a form of totalitarianism analogous to Communism]. The Hollywood Left gives up gay rights in favor of the much safer charms of polygamy. As Mark Steyn [author of the New York Times bestseller “America Alone”] puts it, "The future belongs to the fecund and the confident. And the Islamists are both, while the West -- wedded to a multiculturalism that undercuts its own confidence, a welfare state that nudges it toward sloth and self-indulgence, and a childlessness that consigns it to oblivion -- is looking ever more like the ruins of a civilization." If you think this can't happen, you haven't been paying attention to what’s been happening in Europe and the UK.  Europe is almost certainly a goner, as Mark Steyn laments in his book, but America can still survive, prosper, and defend its freedom only if it continues to believe in itself, in the sturdier virtues of self-reliance (not government), in the centrality of family, and in the conviction that our country really is the world's last best hope. The Muslims have a twenty year goal to conquer the West. They have only a short 13 years remaining until victory, as their quest started in 2000. Wake up America before it is too late!
