...The entire Democratic Party, from the top down, now looks like Bill Ayers and Jeremiah Wright. The hatred of America is open. The desire to undo American constitutionalism is explicit. And this exposure will only accelerate in the coming months and years, as the left realizes ever more acutely that its days as an accepted political faction are numbered, and it is forced to take increasingly drastic and sudden measures to achieve its brutal aims before the clock runs out....It has become patently clear that the present Republican Party establishment is not up for this fight. Constitutional conservatives must do it themselves, using the GOP apparatus as just one tool. They must remain cool and workmanlike, rebuilding dams faster than the leftist waves can knock them down. This is the means to conservative victory. One cannot merely "go back" to a better time. Societal decay cannot simply be undone. One must allow -- even encourage -- the progressive degeneration to play itself out, fighting it at every turn until the leftists, seething with an increasingly open hatred of America, overplay their hand and self-destruct.

The media is 100% of the problem.The media covers for them. The media is 50% of the problem.
Evil is not a problem - you find it, you destroy it. It's inherently weak - that's why it hides.
LYING about evil, however - now THAT'S a problem!
Yes. And another part of the problem is the mislabeling of “the media.” The problem isn’t the medium used, whether print or broadcast - the problem is the nature of journalism as we know it. The nature, that is, of the wire service.In the founding era, newspapers were mostly weeklies, and some newspapers had no deadline at all, and just went to press when the printer was good and ready. They had no communication technology which was not accessible to the public at large, and by the time the newspaper came out on Wednesday (say) you might very well already know any news which reached the printer shortly after press time the previous Tuesday night. From the same sources the printer had. Consequently, newspapers were as much about the printer’s take on the news as they were about the news itself. IOW, newspaper printers were more like today’s talk radio hosts than like today’s “objective” journalists.
But with the wire services (and a single one, the AP, has always dominated by its own monopolistic design), journalism became homogenized. All major outlets have the same information feed, and the reporters working for the individual members of the AP aspire to have their stories picked up by other outlets nationwide. They conform their formats and their slant on their stories to the Associated Press template. And since the individual editors don’t even know, much less supervise, reporters who contribute stories to their papers via the newswire, the whole operation of wire service journalism hinges on the shared assumptions of its membership.
It is a cult.
Like all cults, it conflates its own interest with the public good. The cult of “objective” wire service journalism places the promotion of the interests intrinsic to journalism - the desire for attention, prosperity, and influence - above the interests of individual people and against the cumulative interests of people generally.
The cult of wire service journalism requires that the public assume that its priests are objective, so its membership promotes that absurd proposition incessantly. To claim objectivity - even to belong to a group which claims objectivity for you - is to foreclose the very possibility of seriously attempting to be objective. Because belief in your own objectivity is the defining characteristic of its opposite, subjectivity. No one can do the real work of attempting objectivity - no one can openly lay out the reasons why he or she might not be objective - and simultaneously claim that they actually are objective.
The cult of “objective” journalism places bad news - places criticism, condemnation, and complaint - on a plane far above getting your hands dirty by actually trying to do something. "The man who is actually in the arena” gets no respect from the cult of criticism, condemnation, and complaint.
The cult of “objective” journalism places novelty far above accuracy. Consequently “There’s nothing more worthless than yesterday’s Newspaper.” The cult of superficial attention-grabbing defines a big story as always “Man Bites Dog,” not “Dog Bites Man.”
The cult of “objective” journalism flatters anyone who promotes journalism’s ego, and heaps derision on anyone who openly considers other principles and constituencies to be more important than the cult of journalism. “Objective” journalism flatters its acolytes by calling them “liberal” or “progressive” - and derides its skeptics with terms like “conservative” and “right wing extremists.” And, during the Soviet era, “Cold Warriors.”
There is no objectivity in “objective” journalism. “Objective journalism” is a propaganda cult. One which successfully cons a very great number of Americans. Most of us have fallen for the con, at least some of the time . . .The wisest and most cautious of us all frequently gives credit to stories which he himself is afterwards both ashamed and astonished that he could possibly think of believing . . .Journalism and ObjectivityIt is acquired wisdom and experience only that teach incredulity,
and they very seldom teach it enough. - Adam Smith
The list of Democrats that joined the socialist groups was published on the FreeRepublic during the Clinton years. The change of the Democrat party came years earlier. I wish you and so many more freepers were paying attention then. I hear people say they wish they had Clinton back. Clinton is a Globalist Fascist just like Obama. Clinton was giving China technology for their military. It was then we had to stop the Democrats. It was too late when Obama became President. With the debt, we have now reached the point of no return.
Bump.
Thanks very much for the ping/post; ping. HOORAY Daren Jonescu! OUTSTANDING article and OUTSTANDING FReeper educators BUMP!
live - free - republic
I got that after I read the entire article at the link. When I posted that I was just responding to the excerpt which I assumed conveyed the author’s idea better than it was able to, given the size.
Thanks!
Despite all of Barack Obama's hoopla about "fundamentally transforming" America, the truth of the matter is even scarier than Obama's threatening promise: the fundamental transformation has, to a large extent, already happened. Contemporary society has been gradually undermined, in the strict sense of having had its terrain booby-trapped with moral explosives, over many decades. Obama's promised transformation is merely the paperwork, writing into law what has already been accomplished in culture.
This is VERY true and unfortunately there are very few who have done the hard work necessary to fully understand when the "transformation" began and how it was done which makes accomplishing the end result we seek to achieve all that much more difficult.
Bump!
By the way, Ronald Reagan was not content with containment or just maintaining the status quo. He was determined to defeat communism no matter how big or how far they had progressed. We must never think the left has progressed too far to roll back, or that it’s too big to fail. We must never give in to defeatism. We shall fight the corrupt collectivist bastards (of both parties) on the seas. We shall fight them on the beaches. We shall fight them on the ground. We shall fight them in the air. We shall never surrender our island of sanity. We are the resistance!!
THIS is a KEEPER!
An excellent article. Well worth the read and re-read. Thanks for posting it.
Ping to read later......
I e-mailed the link to the members of our Tea Party group here in Georgia.

The days lying ahead of America will often be treacherous and sad. They will require nerves of steel from those who would resist progressivism's desperate last stand. It has become patently clear that the present Republican Party establishment is not up for this fight. Constitutional conservatives must do it themselves, using the GOP apparatus as just one tool. They must remain cool and workmanlike, rebuilding dams faster than the leftist waves can knock them down.
long read, but a good analysis of the epic battle of 'good vs evil' that is and has been our political landscape for a century...
and why the ramping up of the aggression from the left has been happenin...pedal to the metal, as it were, because theyve passed the jump off point...its simply going to have to crash and burn, and itll be up to the survivors to re-instate the Constitutional principles...my .02
Good point. Thanks.
And this is America, so if Communism takes hold, we at least have a background, a success to point to, and history that makes it easier than other countries to revert back to Capitalism.
Reading.... Thanks for the ping my friend.
Hope all is well, stay safe....
when the granaries are empty, rats seek no surroundings.. or devour each other.
Good point Jim!
You can bet that I’ll be fighting for at least as long as I’m still breathing!
overplay their hand and self-destruct. They always do, this is the third time, Wilson then FDR and now Obama. To me this time feels like it’s for all the marbles, of course I was not present for the first two. This time we are facing a revolutionary Marxist communist and many years of preparation by those of like mind. If you don’t identify Romney as one of those of like mind, are you certain you are capable of walking and breathing at the same time? Can we at least hang the obvious commies this time? We can shun the Fabians.
