Memo To Americans

Being Equal does NOT mean we are the same.

That is a distinction that seems to be lost on many in our mainstream media and our politicians. Maybe the concept is too complex for them, or maybe... just maybe... they want us all to be the same so we are easier to control... easier to fit into their little cubbyholes so we can be pandered to and made to think like a herd rather than individuals.

THAT is when being Equal means being the Same.

Mainstream Media's Hoax

Back in 2006 when President Bush was down in the polls the American mainstream media piled on – including the pundits who are supposed to be from the Conservative side of the aisle working for the mainstream outlets like The New York Times, The Washington Post and all the other media outlets with tame Conservatives. If there was a word to be said against Bush, the war, the economy, whatever the topic, the mainstream media was piling on and the Conservative pundits were right behind them throwing their own diminishing weight to the conversation.

It was shortly thereafter the media began pounding us with stories of how wonderful future President Obama was. He was not Bush, making him extremely attractive to the Left, and he was one of them. He spoke their language and he could give great speech. For eight years the mainstream media had listened to the “nails on a chalkboard” delivery of President Bush and wanted someone who could speak well in public. Unfortunately, in their lust for this new talker, the media failed to do their jobs. Rather than doing even the least amount of research into who or what this new candidate was, we were handed a radical leftist who muffed the ball right from the start and continued chasing it around like a grade school football team trying to get a handle on a fumbled football.

Now, however, that Obama’s numbers are about as bad as Bush’s were at the end of his second term, the media is still out there trying to save him going into a re-election campaign. That’s to be expected from the mainstreamers on HIS side, but for those media people on the Conservative side to continue to help Obama and attack the Republican field is extremely confusing. Not really. The writers who try to pass themselves off as “conservatives” at those major newspapers are nothing more than fodder to be used by the left. They are the whipping boys kept on staff as tokens and they are getting paid handsomely enough to be willing to take it.

Most Americans realize this means we are being fed news manufactured to look like it is balanced when it is nothing of the sort. Americans now have many ways to get our news – and most of us utilize those channels – and we are able to see what a hoax we have been fed.

Too bad our Political Class in Washington is unable to see what is happening with our media… or, more likely, they are in on the hoax.

Determination Undaunted

I read a lot of stories about how we are a country in decline, that our best days are behind us, that we need to manage and come to grips with our fading light. There are articles out there telling Americans how we need to understand that our best days are done and it's just a matter of time before we turn out the lights and hand the keys to the Chinese.

Yet, when I look in the eyes of my countrymen, I don't see a people defeated. Even under the most tyrannical socialist this country has ever seen, we still see our resurrection starting January 20, 2013. I see a determined people who are itching for the coming battle, who can accomplish anything together, who have only just begun the work of preserving Freedom. We know Freedom. We understand what it takes to preserve it from ALL enemies - both foreign and domestic.

Men don't yearn for the yoke of tyranny, they yearn to be FREE. They yearn to be Americans. Only these pathetic whiners infesting a Wall Street park yearn to be treated like slaves of a regime. The rest of us seethe at the mere thought of it.

Stories like ours - the story of the American Experience - don't have an ending. Our struggle will go on as long as there is breath left in us, as long as there are tyrants willing to subjugate people and lie about their intents. And that's how we know the story is real. There is no well scripted ending. It is an ongoing and enduring story we, The People, fight to pass on to generations to come.
