I really have to laugh at this. Beastie and I were lost in Paris one day, so I went up to a French man to ask directions. He was dismissive until he turned around and saw the Anne person, whereupon he went into hyperactive, how can I help you, mode. Bahwahhwah. She is really pretty. You may have guessed that.

Oh, those Frenchies!

Despite the liberal media's years of propaganda and role-modeling for us on television and in the movies, drumming into the minds and hearts of America the image of the left as the true reflection of America -- intellectually, culturally and politically -- not many of our citizens buy into it. Slivers of the East and West coasts, enclaves in Florida, dependent government bureaucrats, and fearfully deceived minority members, are all they can count on. America's interest in liberal newspapers and television programs continues a downward spiral. The reason for that is that Americans are generally a hard-headed, can-do, practical, sometimes religious people who have the sense to recognize that when someone lies to you a lot, probably they want something from you they have no right to possess.

Bump!

You have a good eye, Miss Victoria! They say a picture is worth a thousand words.
Let's match a picture with these words to illustrate.........

"If the left wasn't logical how could it have captured all levels of the education system, the inner cities, the blue collar unions, the hollywood types, and the newly immigrated legal or not?"

You failed to note the left's most meaningful single accomplishment -- and their most powerful weapon against conservatives: control of the mainstream media, both nationally and locally.

Were it not for the emergence of talk radio and the internet, we would be voiceless. And voiceless, we are, each of us, alone and surrounded in what seems a sea of liberalism.

GHWB couldn't get re-elected without both of these new media. The Republican Congressional Revolution of '94 would not have happened without talk radio. And GWB would not have been elected without both talk radio and the internet working in his favor.

The left probably wishes earnestly that Algore had never invented the internet...

[WaterDragon]

Your points about the importance of talk radio and the internet to give conservatives any 'voice' at all is damning to the liberals, because they clearly are incapable and terrified of honest debate and so must SILENCE conservatives if they are to get the power they crave.

The liberals know very well that their goals are nothing any sane American would want....otherwise they would welcome debate at every opportunity. Instead they shout us down, name-call, and terrorize with political correctness (which by the way is a term that came into popular use first by the Bolsheviks in Russia!).

[RWG]

Great point. I depend so little on mainstream media anymore I forget about them.

[WaterDragon]

The mainstream media is indeed forgettable! THAT is a great point, as well!

[Democratic_Machiavelli]

Thanks.
