It's no secret that the mainstream media is leftist.  Excuse me, progressive.  Polls have shown since the 1980s that around 80 percent of journalists vote Democrat.  Conservative Christians have long been viewed by the mainstream media the way jihadists should be viewed.  I say "should be viewed" because the media makes excuses for the behavior of jihadists.  Remember when the news media took umbrage with Ronald Reagan's "evil empire" statement?  The mainstream media is leftist and most of us on the right have learned to live with that.

This election cycle, though, truth and journalism have completely disappeared.  The mainstream media, in 2008, has outGoebbels Joseph Goebbels himself.  Remember the Soviet newspaper, Pravda?  "Pravda" is the Russian word for "truth".  Of course the paper printed nothing but Communist propaganda, but hey, it still claimed it was the "truth".  That's what we have now.  The mainstream media doesn't care about the truth.  It has become the propaganda arm of the Messiah, Barry "Dear Leader" Obama.

Imagine if a white Republican had burst on to the political stage seeking the presidency with a resume as thin as the Dear Leader's.  The media would be filled with story after story about whether this person was fit, ready, competent.  If you don't believe me, look at how they've gone after Governor Palin and she actually has executive experience and real world experience other than as a street agitator or a leftist guest lecturer.  Yet, even when Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden tried to bring up Barry's thin resume, the media passed on it with barely a comment.

Imagine if a Republican had been mentored, as a young boy, by a member of the American Nazi Party.  ABC, MSNBC et al would lead every night for weeks with that Nazi's writings, statements, etc.  Barack Obama was mentored by Frank Marshall Davis.  Davis was a Communist Party member who was very open about his beliefs.  Does the mainstream media care?  Not in the least. 

Imagine if a Republican attended a church for TWENTY years where the pastor preached racism, treated "middleclassness" as a vice, cursed America and expressed obvious glee over the United States being attacked by Islamists.  Well, you know what would happen. All Barry O'Messiah had to say was "I wasn't there.  I didn't hear that.  He's not the man I thought he was."  Hello!!!  Barry used phrases from sermons by Reverend Jermiah Wright all the time.  Michelle even talked about rejecting "middleclassness" on the stump.  The mainstream media doesn't care.  Actually, they do care.  They are actively suppressing this information in order to protect the "Dear Leader".

I could go on and on.  William Ayers is ignored by the media.  The influence of Saul Alinsky on Barry's view of the masses and what that really means is never discussed.  The mainstream media is determined to get Barack Hussein Obama elected President, Fuhrer, Dear Leader, Messiah or whatever. 

The media coverage of the financial crisis is the latest example.  Jim Johnson and Franklin Raines (big Obama adivsors) are neck deep in the Fannie Mae and Freddy Mac mess, but the media is more interested in Rick Davis who is McCain's campaign manager.  Even after the New York Times story on Davis was debunked, the Obama Propaganda Service, otherwise known as ABC, MSNBC et al, still won't mention Raines' or Johnson's role in this scandal.

That's another thing.  The leftist media continues to portray this as a scandal of free market greed.  Have you internet junkies seen the video of Democrat House members actively protecting Fannie Mae and Freddy Mac from scrutiny in 2004?  Here it is? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_MGT_cSi7Rs

If Republicans had engaged in such blatant cronyism, the media would have had them all completely discredited in the press.  If you aren't an internet junkie or a listener to conservative talk radio, you wouldn't know about this.  The media is ACTIVELY covering up for the Democrats.  Why?  Because they are determined to help the Messiah get elected.

This is a scandal created by government FORCE.  Leftists, not conservatives, LEFTISTS forced lenders to give money to deadbeats.  All in the name of "fairness".  No, the Republicans didn't have the balls to stop it, but Leftists used Republican weakness and created this mess.

Now, the Ministry of "Truth" is actively trying to blame this idiocy on capitalism and Republicans.  It pisses me off that McCain, Bush and many of the inside the Beltway "conservatives" are letting them get away with it, but the fact is that JOURNALISTS should be looking into this.  They aren't.  They are in the tank, no, up the rear, of Barry and the leftists.

Liberal journalists want to blame the end of journalism on talk radio and FoxNews.  That's garbage.  All Rush, Hannity and FoxNews have done is give us a voice.  They don't pretend to be without opinion.  The Leftist Ministry of "Truth" claims to be objective.  The mainstream media hasn't been objective for decades.  They've finally reached the point where they don't care even about pretense.

If Barry gets elected, it will be because of an effective propaganda campaign and a media that actively suppresses the truth in order to achieve their desired result.  As Lenin said, "A lie told often enough becomes the truth."  The only truth the mainstream media has is that Barry is the Savior.

I have forced myself to watch bits and pieces of the Democrats' convention.  It's hard listening to "enlightened" leftist elites trying to act like normal patriotic Americans but occasionally I'm overcome by morbid curiosity.  One thing that is clear is that there is no such thing as THE Democratic Party.  If you look on the floor of the convention in the State delegations you will see what I mean.

Let me preface this by stating that I already knew some of what I'm about to say.  My business partner is a lifelong Democrat, although no liberal by any stretch of the imagination.  She is pro-America, pro-gun ownership, pro-capitalism, pro-God and while pro-choice opposes partial birth abortion and infanticide.  Her politics are very similar to our Circuit Court Clerk who is a client of ours and also a Democrat.  Both have said that Obama is too liberal for them.  They are Democrats because their parents were Democrats and they were raised to believe that Republicans are the party of the rich.

Most rank and file Democrats between the ages of 45 and 80 fall into this category.  If they are Southerners, they have always been Democrats for the same reasons that Robert Byrd has always been a Democrat.  If they are Northerners, then more than likely their families became Democrats because of and during the Great Depression.  It isn't policy driven, it's based upon an emotional belief that has been handed down to them.  Most of their individual views are very conservative, but they can't break away from that emotional attachment to the name "Democrat".

If you look at the young people in the Democrat party, they tend to be naive, spoiled children who have few core values but are convinced that the world needs to be "changed" and have believed their professors when they said that if they fight against corporations and nationalism they can create a world where the lion will lie down with the lamb and no one will ever be hungry.

The elites of the party, though, tend to be unrepentent 60's radicals.  They see little wrong with William Ayers because they agree that the Pentagon is a genocidal tool of malevolent corporate interests.  Privately, they agree with Jeremiah Wright that the United States brought 9/11 on itself.  Michael Moore is considered normal.  Jimmy Carter and Al Gore are considered to be geniuses.  They agree with John Kerry that the United States should submit itself to a "global test" before acting in its self interest.  They agree with Nancy Pelosi that "trying to save the world" is more important than becoming more energy independent.  They agree with Michelle Obama that this is a "downright mean" country.

These are the elite radicals that Barack Obama was talking to in San Francisco when he talked about average Americans "clinging" to guns, God and racism.  These are the elite radicals who claim to be for the common people, but who actually look down their noses at them and in many cases despise them.  These are the elite radicals who actually have power in the Democratic party.  These are the elite radicals who actually make policy.  They are the ones who wink and nod when Barack Obama talks about change.

That should scare all of us.
