Is Media Bias an Issue?

More "Right Flight" consequences. Right Flight from the education hierarchy ceded our education system to the Socialists. Right Flight from "Big Government" ceded large chunks of our government to the Socialists. It's no different than "White Flight" which cedes our totally intact cities to others. Combine the two and you can make the case that the Right White prefers to run rather than fight, and then bitch about it after the damage is done.

I think Horowitz' point is that the conservatives aren't really aware of the enormity of their power. It is that power the left so relentlessly attacks and steals. If we didn't have enormous power, the left would be ignoring us, don't you think?

If we don't use power, then we don't have power. In the meantime, we serve as a convenient, living, boogyman that the Left uses to spur on their operatives and to attract more voters.

More conservatives actually have a life and do not focus on politics as their reason for existence. The white/right flight example is apt. As a condition of my employment for almost 20 years I had to belong to a union. Getting active in union affairs was more than most fair-minded persons could manage so, by default, the rabid left-wingers rose to positions of authority. If we 'rank&filers' complained about something, we were always told: Get active! Run for office yourself! But with only one life to live it was not worth it.

Same story with local and state politics in many areas. There are more of us, but more liberals are willing to make political activism their reason for living.

You're probably correct, but it sounds almost like a statement of surrender when there is much at stake. Whatever the Left has achieved, it looks like they did it with our help...our lack of involvement and they're going to beat us over the head with it.

Hmmmm .... Interesting analysis! Thank you for the heads up!

[WaterDragon]

You are very welcome! Thomas Lipscomb knows what he's talking about. I'm not in the least surprised to read that federal bureaucrats are shredding the evidence of their treason! I imagine there's shredding going on at the State Department as well, though those goonies don't sound the brightest. Probably are confident that their allegiance to foreign governments, instead of to the United States, is "good". Ech!

Thank you for the *ping*, Waterdragon!
Now ... I need to digest all the information and helpful links ...

[WaterDragon]

You are welcome. Did you notice, at the end of the article, that Lipscomb is chairman of "the Center for the Digital Future?"

Washington, Jefferson, Adams, Franklin, etc, also had just one life. Had they thought the fight not worth the effort, we would not be having this discussion. But think of all the colonists who weren't leaders....they each did a part, as much as they could. And it was enough.
