Time for the other 48% to absolutely boycott, stop watching, listening, etc,

to the MSM and the 0bamunist media.

“Willfully ignorant people are just as guilty as the left-leaning creative “reporters”, in my opinion.”

That is an interesting statement. We hear a lot about the “dumbing down of America” and that our schools have become indoctrination centers. While all of this may be true, I think it goes much deeper than that. The term “Couch
Potato” has been coined to describe a lazy person. Laziness is more than physical inactivity, it can also manifest itself as mental inactivity. This gets us to sloth, one of the deadly sin, being a contributing factor in Sen. Obama’s election.

Merriam-webster defines sloth as ... a: disinclination to action or labor : indolence b: spiritual apathy and inactivity. We will have to regain our moral footing if we are to remain “That Shining City on the Hill”. The statements from some of our “so called” spiritual leaders show that we have a long way to go.

Reporters give news a bad name.
Of course - but then, news deserves a bad name. "News" is only the latest rumor. There is nothing intrinsically noble about being "up to date" on "the news."

“...the Oprah crowd luved it”

Something tells me he didn't have to exert himself to win votes from the ‘Oprah crowd’.

All the effort and expense was directed at the white voters that he had to draw away from McCain. It worked with them because he targeted the young, ill-educated, television-addicted losers and lazy loafers who think the ‘government’ owes them and who will always be there thinking they really can get something for nothing!!!

AKA: ‘Useful Idiots’- Good luck throwing entitlements down that s&^hole!!!

Cindy—You Nailed it.
Obama won because of Four factors:
1. Bush and his RINO ways and a silly war trying to make Iraq
in to a democracy.
2. A knuckheaded “maverick” like John McCain to lead the party
3. The MSM flawing for the “new black” dream boy.
4. The Economy that failed at just the right time.

The media must be made to pay if Obama screws up—Don’t worry Obama will exact a revenge for us when he doesn’t govern as people expect. Look for no news briefings or access.

It’s late in the day on this one. If we don’t break the NEA stranglehold in the next ten years, nothing else we do will matter.

This goes far deeper than the NEA.

We must get our children out of the government schools.

We must offer tuition free conservative private school alternatives to all children in the U.S.

We must work to shut down all government schools.

If we don’t do this it is as you say. Nothing else will matter.
