Nor is the author a part of the so-called "vast right-wing conspiracy” imagined by Hillary Clinton.

The tag, "vast right-wing conspiracy" was the conspiracy of truth, the proverbial pot calling the conspiracy "right".

The left has gotten lazy minds. Their universal solution - government - flies in the face of the Founding Father's solution for us all - a small government. Big government will be their downfall. And it will take us all down.

The cycle will then repeat itself.

But Rather had written op-ed material for the New York Times, which he insisted was "middle of the road.” The Times, notes Goldberg, is consistently liberal. Nothing wrong with that, but Rather’s remark again recalls the prevailing wisdom in Washington media circles that "there is no left wing.”

That the Times is "middle of the road" is probably the most amazing statement in this fine article. Everything else was a verification of my own observations. How can these elite deny the reality that millions of Americans are very conservative?

Yeah. This just reinforces something that I posted a couple weeks ago. To these reporters, they don't view themselves as being left wing. They view themselves as being middle of the road. And since their politics are so far left, to them there's no such thing as a "left-wing extremist". Even a moderate is conservative to them, and the average conservative is considered by them to be an extremist.

Anyway, I fully intend to get this book. Maybe I can suggest it as a gift to a family member? Make an oh so subtle hint about what I'd like for Christmas. ;)

I gotta say, though, that considering how liberals have pretty much owned the media for several decades, now, it's amazing that the number of conseratives in this country is as high as it is. (50% or so) Were the media more balanced, then chances are the number of conservatives would swell. Maybe as high as 65-75%. You'll always have your hardcore liberal, but they wouldn't be anywhere near as numerous as they are, now, thanks to the disinformation and lies spread by the media. Thank God for FOX News!

"there is no left wing.”

They're right, it's the Nazi party, to the tune of unrepentant ideological sex preferences and other color preferences.

And there’s contempt for "white trash” out there.

So how did Bill and Hillary get elected? Oh, that's right - he was the first black president!

Goldberg would have opened himself up to an IRS audit if he had put out this book a year and a half ago.

They view themselves as being middle of the road.

That may be true for some, but personally, I believe they KNOW they lean MUCH farther left than a lot of the public and it is their INTENT to form and mold public opinion. I think they delight in their perception of having control over their audience. The media is on a power trip, and they hate having that exposed for what it is. Particularly to the impressionable, many that there are, that buy into every word from Dan Rather's lips. Or Peter Jenning's, Katie Couric's, etc.

Well then, now we all know why Bryant Gum-ball is still 'on the air' after his shouting on a 'live' mic (after talking to Robert Knight of the Family Research Council) "What a F$%&ing Idiot" and nothing was ever done about it..or him !! !! !!

Must be something in the air, at the Christian Bashing System....

At least in the non-fiction section that is.
