steveyp, this is the most valuable post I have seen in some time. Welcome to FR!
What does this editorial tell us?
The ediitorial tells us that in the days after 9-11, when those on the New York Times editorial board were worried about their own skins, anything done to fight terrorism was ok with them. Now, a few years down the road, when it seems that we are less threatened (and of course, none of this is due to anything but dumb luck, NOT the president's policies) they are willing to reveal classified information (not once, but THREE times...NSA, SWIFT, and Casey's plan for reducing troops) because they think that WINNING THE FALL ELECTION is more important than the safety of Americans.
I am with Mo1. I want them destroyed. We must "act on all fronts, including the financial one."
We must take every opportunity to bring them down. Their stories must be discredited. Their sources must be exposed. If your local paper uses their wire service, threaten to cancel your subscription unless they cease using it.
Go further. Sell stock if you happen to own it through mutual funds. Refuse to watch the Times/Discovery channel and call your cable operator and ask them to drop it.
We need to devote every resource to bringing them down. They are no longer simply a liberal annoyance; they are a danger to the nation.
I just clicked on the NYT link. NOW it has to be paid for, to read the article.
I'm going to email the link to Fox and Friends right now.
I'll also include the link to this thread.
My first act is to cancel my local newspaper subscription. The print media in this country needs the stake if they are going to act in such a blatantly and aggressively anti-American way. I'm not finished there, and want to participate in whatever weapon is used by the people against this enemy.
Furthermore, the hypocrisy of the article is less important than the Times impression of the immediacy of the problem while the dust, debris and bodies of the murdered still lay in the streets of New York. What has changed at the Times since the fear and righteous anger of those days? Why do they hate us? Why have they, of all people in this Nation, forgotten? They were there. I think the answer is cowardice.
The wailing and gnashing of teeth by the Times when we are struck again-- the moaning of why couldn't the government do more to prevent the deaths of thousands more of America's citizens will set my teeth to edge.
They are not in the fight.
