The thing is, those of us who search out and read conservative blogs are pretty well informed. Those who watch Fox News on cable at least UNDERSTAND that the rest of the alphabet-soup media of our nation are NOT reporting fairly or completely on the issues.

But the folks who don’t go “browsering” the byways of the Internet nor have an alternative source for news –who read their daily paper and dutifully watch the evening news on broadcast TV– have no reason to believe they are other than well-informed.

The media are doing GREAT EVIL to our country (too bad there’s no way to punish them for dereliction of duty!) and their prime victims, ordinary well-meaning citizens, DO NOT KNOW they are being conned, and herded like sheep toward a preordained “consensus”.

= = = = =
(Hey …. that reminds me: that “reaching a consensus” thing is a big goal of the Common Core program, too …)

I think we’ve provided substantial pushback for those so called American Republican patriots that would have said the like in 2008.

That leaves mostly Leftists that would say or think something like that. The Peggy Noonans and various… others, supposedly on our side, no more like Sarah Palin’s challenge to the corruption of DC than they like Democrats beating them at the polls.

Find the investigators. Then deal with them on an individual basis. Nobody’s going to go around Palin’s trash and not get paid at least something by the unions or oRganized to vote systems. The money will flow. People will get paid. And manpower will be mobilized.

Instead of trying to find a way to defend against that, absent any real intel, people would be better put to launch offensive operations against the supply lines keeping the Left going. Which isn’t stuff at the top where people talk about policies and candidates, but has more to do with the individuals the Left employs. The obedient storm troopers.

If it only took a national funded propaganda campaign to get him… then he wasn’t as resistant as some thought. Or perhaps, the Left’s power is underestimated on this venue for sheer firepower and character assassination efficiency.

Lizzy above is so right on. The seeds of oppression and totalitarianism have been watered and fertilized, they are at the end of the cultivation stage.

Russia spent decades doing the same cultivation (from 1848, just to throw out a number?), as did Germany. Hitler learned from it all, saw the efficacy of the method, and gave it a little twist, substituting race for class, but leaving the methods intact. With the Left (Hitler, Lenin, Mao, Castro, Chavez, Obama) the method is everything.

The non-Left “drearily” concerns itself with morality and the complexity of human nature.

Rove and the Bushes have their connections which take precedence over anything else. That is too bad.

For me, Ronald Reagan was the actual uncorrupted true human who had the profound intelligence to make a difference.

IMO, so is Sarah Palin, and I say that recognizing how many will think I am an idiot for saying so.

Jeb Bush has a Hispanic wife and speaks Spanish. That could be huge. He was a popular governor of a large swing state. I think he is too moderate for my ideal, but he may be the only one who can win.

With all the dependent people that Obama has created, this may be the last shot to stop the left for a few years. Pick someone who can win. Short of that nothing changes.

Name and shame the fascist slanderers.

I will bet you (gentleman’s/woman’s bet) that Jeb Bush goes nowhere.

Why blame any of this on RINOs? The left is more than willing and eager to do it.

I’m not a Karl Rove fan, but I don’t see it the way you do at all.
