The Media’s Potemkin Village Starts to Topple

Bashing the media may not be a policy platform, but it’s nourishment and sustenance to a long-suffering conservative constituency which doesn’t much care whom or what is being bashed so long as somebody or something is being bashed. They’re tired of being punching bags, and especially tired of getting smacked around by folks like Reince Priebus (who approved the CNBC debacle), who are ostensibly on their side. And which is also why the cracks around the foundations of MSM hegemony are a bigger story than most realize.

Anonymous said...: Many are not paying attention, that is for sure. We gun folks already know this. Regardless, what happened at that "debate" is serious and not without serious consequence. While many aren't paying attention - heck even a large majority aren't, enough people are and did and know what happened (and why it did) and have indeed absolutely had enough of it.

With the internet, there is no escaping what happened, not by the media hacks who did it or by those who arranged it. Make no mistake, Rented Prius played his part in arranging it. Some make the Charlie Brown reference but that is only accurate if one admits Rence Prebius is Lucy, not Charlie. That fool knew what was going to happen and set up the debacle on purpose. In his world, that was a great event.

But the revolt has already started. He will soon be ousted - and good riddance.

Saw this yesterday - remove the vowels from his name and you get RNC PR BS. That rivals the name drama like Jay CARNEY (barker) as white house press secretary, turned Josh Earnest, yeah joshing us earnestly after the Carney barker quit. Then there is the former NAACP chief named Ben Jealous. Its along the lines of Islamic zealots attacking us so we "elect" Hussein. I consider these things to be "writing on the wall". It occurs to me that these cannot be happening by "accident".

The slide is only at the start, and the crash will happen quickly. There is one year left and after that it will be like sink holes we see happening. Prepare yourselves for rough times folks. They are short at hand. The more truth breaks out, the more people will not paying attention will retract in horror and fear.

As media implodes, crime will explode. Buy ammo - as much as you can afford. We fast approach the time that you can only keep what you have if you can physically defend it.; October 31, 2015 at 10:20 AM

"Progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress."

I believe that liberty is the only genuinely valuable thing that men have invented, at least in the field of government, in a thousand years. I believe that it is better to be free than to be not free, even when the former is dangerous and the latter safe. I believe that the finest qualities of man can flourish only in free air – that progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress, and of no permanent value. I believe that any man who takes the liberty of another into his keeping is bound to become a tyrant, and that any man who yields up his liberty, in however slight the measure, is bound to become a slave. -- H.L. Mencken

"The Fate of Unborn Millions. . ."

"The time is now near at hand which must probably determine, whether Americans are to be, Freemen, or Slaves; whether they are to have any property they can call their own; whether their Houses, and Farms, are to be pillaged and destroyed, and they consigned to a State of Wretchedness from which no human efforts will probably deliver them. The fate of unborn Millions will now depend, under God, on the Courage and Conduct of this army-Our cruel and unrelenting Enemy leaves us no choice but a brave resistance, or the most abject submission; that is all we can expect-We have therefore to resolve to conquer or die." -- George Washington to his troops before the Battle of Long Island.

"We will not go gently . . ."

This is no small thing, to restore a republic after it has fallen into corruption. I have studied history for years and I cannot recall it ever happening. It may be that our task is impossible. Yet, if we do not try then how will we know it can't be done? And if we do not try, it most certainly won't be done. The Founders' Republic, and the larger war for western civilization, will be lost.

But I tell you this: We will not go gently into that bloody collectivist good night. Indeed, we will make with our defiance such a sound as ALL history from that day forward will be forced to note, even if they despise us in the writing of it.

And when we are gone, the scattered, free survivors hiding in the ruins of our once-great republic will sing of our deeds in forbidden songs, tending the flickering flame of individual liberty until it bursts forth again, as it must, generations later. We will live forever, like the Spartans at Thermopylae, in sacred memory.

"A common language of resistance . . ."

"Colonial rebellions throughout the modern world have been acts of shared political imagination. Unless unhappy people develop the capacity to trust other unhappy people, protest remains a local affair easily silenced by traditional authority. Usually, however, a moment arrives when large numbers of men and women realize for the first time that they enjoy the support of strangers, ordinary people much like themselves who happen to live in distant places and whom under normal circumstances they would never meet. It is an intoxicating discovery. A common language of resistance suddenly opens to those who are most vulnerable to painful retribution the possibility of creating a new community. As the conviction of solidarity grows, parochial issues and aspirations merge imperceptibly with a compelling national agenda which only a short time before may have been the dream of only a few. For many Americans colonists this moment occurred late in the spring of 1774." -- T.H. Breen, The Marketplace of Revolution: How Consumer Politics Shaped American Independence, Oxford University Press, 2004, p.1.
