The Bias Is Too Obvious

Posted on 12/02/2013 by Grumpa Joe

Just what is “legitimate media?” I thought all media like TV, radio, cable, newsprint, magazines, and even websites are legitimate according the First Amendment of the Constitution. Somehow, President Obama and Vice President Biden believe otherwise. To them “legitimate means under their control.”

I have friends and relatives who believe only the mainstream news outlets. They have sated themselves on the Kool-aid generously poured for them by our government. Does anyone remember Jim Jones? He was a cult leader who gave new meaning to Kool-aid. In 1978 he led a colony of believers to establish Jonestown in the jungles of Guyana in South America where the First Amendment rights do not apply. There he fed his followers the message he wanted them to hear. He controlled them completely.

Things went horribly wrong when an US Congressman visited Jonestown after hearing some of his constituents were being held against their will. The thought of losing his tiny empire to the US Government caused Jones to panic.  Again, he controlled the message. He told his followers that the US would come from out of the sky to murder their babies. Not having any other information his followers believed him. He ultimately talked them into the only solution he had, “revolutionary suicide.” Over 900 people died.

The USA is far from revolutionary suicide, but these things begin small and evolve into ideas and movements that become mainstream. Ultimately, the tighter gun control regulations will evolve into gun registrations, then gun confiscation, and finally annihilation of non-believers.

Obama’s media, those in his pocket, are helping him control the message.

“I am… for freedom of the press, and against all violations of the Constitution to silence by force and not by reason the complaints or criticisms, just or unjust, of our citizens against the conduct of their agents.” –Thomas Jefferson to Elbridge Gerry, 1799. ME 10:78

It is my opinion that editors and reporters working in the main-stream media are not capable of separating themselves from their own personal politics. Their bias is too obvious and as such they lose their arguments to readers who can think and reason. They legitimate media feed us the “Kool-aid” being supplied to them from the Minister of Public Announcements.

Once a listener has heard a message often enough he begins to believe it. I admit that I listen to only conservative media, I like the message. I believe the message, I am an apostle of the conservative message. My own conversion to conservatism began shortly after I graduated from college. Until that time, I followed the democrat line my parents followed. I’ve said it many times before, my parents registered as democrats, but lived a conservative life. They believed what their neighbors and bosses told them, “the democrats are for the working man.”  They didn’t have a clue about how the democrats did that, but my dad believed it nonetheless, and voted for whoever his boss told them to vote for, and my mom voted for whoever my dad told her to vote for. It is the  democrat way.

My conversion came from discussions with a fellow engineer. Joe De Maris was two years older than me, but his arguments about the virtues of conservatism made sense. I began to see how the principles were the same ones my  parents lived by. Joe introduced me to Barry Goldwater the then Senator from Arizona. By Joe’s recommendation, I read Senator Goldwater’s book “Conscience of a Conservative.” Goldwater’s words convinced me that I am a conservative.

I also lived through Hitler’s annihilation of six million Jews during WWII, the Cold War, and watched the grand experiment of Socialism conducted by Joe Stalin, and his method of slaying non-believers to get his constituents to fall in line. By the time I came out of the closet as a conservative, I knew Socialism was not the way I wanted to live.

Even though Joe outed me, I fell for the message conveyed by John Kennedy. I voted for him, then I fell for the Jimmy Carter, I voted for him. Both times I really thought I was doing the right thing. Although I had mixed feelings about Carter. He won because his opponent was Gerald Ford the Blame-Bush candidate of the time. Ford was also the only president ever to hold the office without running for it or being voted for. Then Vice President Spiro Agnew resigned. President Nixon nominated Gerald Ford to fill the VP spot. Then Nixon resigned to avoid impeachment over the Watergate scandal.

As a side note, it is also my opinion that the Watergate scandal was kindergarten stuff compared to what Benghazi-gate is, and our current president is skating free on that one because of the legitimate media is too lazy and incapable of reporting and asking real questions. Instead, they accept the line being fed to them from the Minister of Public Announcements. It was the legitimate media reporters Woodward and Bernstein from the Washington Post who investigated and relentlessly went for Nixon’s throat. Today, these guys are heroes. Who will be the legitimate hero of Benghazi-gate?

Two Barry’s

Posted on 12/03/2009 by Grumpa Joe

 

My Flag Flies Everyday

My Flag Flies Everyday

Have you ever heard of Barry? I’m not speaking of Barack “Barry” Obama, I speak of Barry Goldwater. Mr. Goldwater was a US Senator from Arizona in the nineteen sixties.  Goldwater was the most conservative Senator ever to be elected in the modern USA. His book “Conscience of a Conservative” was a best seller, and is considered to be the credo of the conservative political movement.

I learned of Barry Goldwater from a colleague at my first job out of college. My friend was also a recent college grad. He had become a staunch conservative after reading Senator Goldwater’s book. We spoke often of the Constitution and the principles of conservatism; love of God and country, small government, low taxes. We spoke of  the vision the founding fathers had for this new country. They had had it with a dictator king, and the unfair taxes imposed upon them. They were tired of the King deciding what was good for his subjects, and how to worship.  They wanted liberty to determine the course of their own lives. The idea of the king deciding for them was an atrocious concept.

The new citizens coming to the soil of North America were from many countries. They were immigrants. They fled their homelands in search of religious freedom. They came from England, Holland, France, Spain, and Germany. All across europe the citizens were unhappy with the way the kings ruled, and kept their subjects in abject poverty, while the aristocracy became fat.  The only way out was to revolt, or to leave. Many revolted, others left. The ones that left formed the greatest country in the world. The ones that revolted, suffered at the expense of the kings. Eventually, European countries backed away from monarchial rule and formed governments ruled by the people. Many kept thier monarchies as figure heads of the past.

One of the largest revolutions occurred in Russia. Lenin and Stalin imposed an even greater evil upon the people in the form of socialism. Yes, they forced the country from a monarchy into collective socialism.  They made it happen by slaughtering millions of good Russian people. Along came another great idealist. His name was Hitler. He decided that the people of Germany needed a change. The German people were sick of being ruled by the Kaiser. Hitler wanted the people to have socialism. He wanted it so much that he went to war over it. He wanted to convert all of Europe to his style of socialism, even Russia.

By this time the little country formed by immigrants from all of these countries had to step in and stop the mayhem. It was called World War Two. The USA, founded on the principles of a belief in God, and Liberty, had to become the salvation of the western world. The USA beat Hitler at a huge cost of blood and lives. Instead of challenging Russia, we made them allies in order to defeat Hitler.  Eventually, Ronald Reagan beat communism in the nineteen eighties. The great Soviet Union went broke trying to convert the world to socialism at the expense of their people.

Now we have a new “Barry.” He is Barack “Barry” Obama. This man should know better having been educated in the best schools in the USA. Like Lenin, Stalin, and Hitler, he too espouses the concept of “socialism.” He hasn’t learned from history that socialism,  and a welfare state is a failure. Instead, he insists on changing our great country into a socialist state as fast as he can.  He has used the economic meltdown as a shield to force congress to pass legislation that will create  government so huge it will self destruct.

 It may be my warped mind, but all I  can think is that the subjects of  history, and political science are being slanted  by socialist leaning liberal college tenures. In the fifty years since Barry Goldwater wrote his conservative credo, our scholastic instituions have created several generations socialist leaning  people. At the same time, our government, in all of its benevolence, has done an outstanding job of creating a population of uneducated welfare recipients.

The result is that Barry Obama is leading the citizenry of the USA,  with an army of socialist college grads, and welfare dependents toward atheism, and total  government subjugation under the manifesto of “Change We Can Believe In.”.

When will we wake up and understand that we are being led down the path toward a new era of modern slavery?
