Ok Rick, just what could be a bigger problem for this country than the liberals?
My answer to that is the total lack of any form of true journalism in this country. I may be revealing my age here, but I am old enough to remember the Edward R. Murrow’s of the past. Reporters that actually reported the news. They didn’t feel compelled to “explain it”. They were compelled to get their hands dirty digging it our, confirming it and reporting what they found letting the chips fall where they may. I wonder where all of the investigative reporters of yesteryear have gone, after they were fired by the new liberal media?
Think about this for a moment. Where would Obama be if the media were to do its job? If they demanded answers instead of providing them or ignoring them. For instance, and this is only one of many, the unions rioted after the Michigan people passed a right to work law in their state. People were beaten for supporting their elected representatives! By union thugs caught on video cameras! With sound! The main stream media just ignored it instead of simply reporting it without comment. They didn’t want to harm the money flow to the liberals from those same thugs.
The conservatives are just as guilty. They take any chance they can get to sensationalize any story they feel will aid their cause. Fair and balanced reporting? That is left to those of us in the blogging world that has a conscience and is interested in the truth and only to us. Not even Rush is immune to this sickness. FOX News? Yeah them too.
Case in point: I received an email about a town that supposedly had an ordinance on the books “requiring” homeowners to own a gun. I made a couple of simple phone calls to find out that there is such a law, but that it was enacted in 1982 and has never been enforced. It was a small southern town reacting to Chicago suburbs enacting ordinances severely restricting gun ownership. I posted the news. No commentary other than to espouse the forthrightness of the people I spoke with. I believe the American people should be allowed to form their own opinions with out inserting a nose ring.
Just suppose politicians had to stand on their own without the directed support of these “talking heads”. Does anyone actually believe that a man who refuses to release any accurate information of his own history COULD be elected? Journalist would be in there digging out the truth. It would all be revealed for us to make up our own minds. Gee, maybe they actually believe that we must be force fed their opinions because we just don’t have the intelligence to think! I am afraid I must agree that that is exactly what we are becoming. I have acquaintances that believe everything Dan Rather and his ilk (sorry that word was an editorial comment) have to say. When I ask what part of the story was actually “news” they don’t even know why I would ask the question let alone what the answer might be.
I have read several conservative commentators (I refuse to call them bloggers in the true sense) on various sites, most especially this one, refer to Obama’s policies as communist inspired. Sorry, if you knew the English language, you would know that there is nothing communistic about the man. He has very definite NAZI leanings, but that is something else entirely. Surely just as dangerous to our way of life, but in a completely different way. But then the word communist is an emotion evoking word to use indiscriminately isn’t it?
Here comes an editorial comment: It is my belief from what little I am allowed to know of this man’s educational background and upbringing in the Muslim culture, that he could not help being anything other that a devout follower of Karl Marx. Obama is the only public figure that I am aware of that refers to the HOLY Quran. To everyone else that mentions it, it is simply the Quran. And in my humble opinion not all that holy either. Interesting, don’t you think? End of editorial comment. Come to think of it that might be a good place to end this blog too.
Have a great day..

I agree with blogger rights as this will give us some of the truth on the one posting! We can go from there! If we find he or they do not like facts posted, no matter what the reason, we can deal with it!
I keep hearing the minor thing, the word impeachment? We know the Liberal media seems to do all to avoid reporting that this President has committed treason and it has been so bad that, even an honorable Naval Officer has filed 5 counts against him, meaning Obama! How the heck did we get here in electing an anti-freedom Communist?
For the liars that read this, I am not rich, Obama is using his voters to become rich and suck the blood from your hard earned money.. It is your money, not the Feds! Obama, we know who have facts, is a Communist and against our rights and he will continue to attack them until we get media to support honor and facts. The media in Germany gave the world, Hitler! The corruption of how Japan once was controlled, mostly by military, gave America Pearl Harbor. I love the Japanese in our day. I have a friend in the Philippines that I will always honor, who is Japanese married to a Filipino lady that I also respect!
It is about time fools that came against our fight for Asia for the people stopped denying the people do not have voters rights! Japan does as we insisted on it just after the war. Communist Countries, the citizens, as usual, are claimed to be to ignorant to vote for National elections. We must admit, the media made it look like many Americans are too ignorant to vote in National elections. It is in our face, and of course, it has nothing to do with gender or race, but substance of what is supported!
Jim, you are correct, back in the 20s the socialists tried to change their name to progressives, it didn’t work as back then people wised up so then they went after the name liberal and finally took that over by the late 50's Today they are bringing back the term progressive as most people are too historically ignorant to know it is a synonym for socialist. I wish they would abandon the term liberal so we could go back to using it as it once stood for those who championed liberty. They turned it into a term meaning coercion and statism.
To those who are still longing for Walter Crankenhouse, you obviously didn’t see my earlier post. He was a socialist! A member of the world federalist society and a fellow traveler! Is that who you long to have again reporting your news? His entire crew was the CNN (communist news network) of his day! Wake the heck up!
I also have recognized the media as our worst problem and have longed for Walter Cronkrite. We don't get facts - we get stories made up by people who call themselves reporters, a story that is inline with what they want us to believe.
WHERE ARE THE REPORTERS LIKE THE ONES THAT GOT NIXON IMPEACHED, THIS MORON HAS DONE ALOT MORE TO HURT THIS COUNTRY THEN SPYING ON THE OTHER PARTY. PEOPLE DIED BECAUSE OF HIM NOT DOING HIS JOB. THE CONTINUING DISRESPECT TO THE CONSTITUTION THE LAW OF THE LAND.THIS AND HIS MAKING THIS COUNTRY READY TO GRUMBLE ,IMPEACHMENT SHOULD BE THE NEXT THING TO GET RID OF THIS MONSTER
Roland is so correct and this is what I was referring to when I said become to busy chasing material things and preoccupied with our personal desires that we allowed these people to very carefully start their deaedly chess game many years ago. We the people must first assume responsibility for our errors, lack of parenting , our schools being invaded, our youth brainwashed etc. and now we are bound and determine to find someone to blame....
HAS ANY ONE OUT THERE HAD THERE POST NOT BEING POSTED OR SINCERD BY THE BIG EYE,S

Everyone I know, voted for Obama, and to borrow a comment made by someone else, " it is interesting to see the truth slowly seeping in ." Since getting hit in their paychecks, they are now singing a different tune. Wait til their H/C kicks up , or drops them because it cost the company too much !
