If you build it will they come? Apparently not. Apparently that old
adage only works with fantasy stories of baseball, because it certainly
doesn't work with American media.
Although there seems to have been a time when it did work. There seems
to have been a time when words similar to those were inscribed at the
base of the Statue of Liberty.

to two million march to US Capitol to protest against Obama's spending
in 'tea-party' demonstration</a>
The British media saw what was going on this weekend in Washington, but
not the American media. The American media has ignored it. As they have
continued to do since the tea party movement and the awakening of the
people first began back in April.
I have spent the last two days scanning American news sites and with
the exception of the Drudge Report and Fox News, the mainstream media
in America seems to have completely missed a million Americans who came
to Washington to have their voices heard and to send a message to their
president and their elected representatives.
I wonder what happened? Not enough pre-event media? Did someone forget
to hire a national public relations firm to get the word out? Should
they have offered prizes for the media to attend one of the largest
assemblages of "we the people" in the history of this nation?
Or was it simply the wrong cause and the wrong political philosophies that kept the media away in droves?
I tend to think and believe that what was missing in media this weekend
in Washington, were those committed to the principles and rights that
were given to protect this nation as a people one and all. And IMO, the
rights of the people were abridged this weekend in Washington. And it
was the media that abridged them.
One million Americans, sincerely concerned with the loss of their personal freedoms and the threats to their futures and the threats to the future of their country and the fact that their elected representatives in Washington are not listening to them? And the fact that their elected representatives are spending them into oblivion?
Those concerns seem to have been an invalid cause of either news or of interest to the present cadre of American media.
Many across this country have long ago seized upon the necessary cure for the
malaise and partisan liberal treachery that now permeates the halls of
our congress and senate. And they are all too aware of the sorely
needed cure.
"Throw the bums out!" That's the cure. That is the only cure IMO.
That is what needs to happen. That is what should happen. Problem is,
we have at least another year before the sorely needed elections to
accomplish that reality will come to pass. And a lot can happen and go
wrong in a year's time. I tend to think that those who came to
Washington this weekend
know that as does a complicit media.
Meanwhile, the American people are sending a message to these rogues
and socialist anarchist that are attempting to ram these liberal
socialist ideologies down our throats in Washington. And that message
from the heartland and the people is NO!
NO! we don't want your health care reform! No! We don't want your cap
and trade! No! we don't want your deficit spending. And No! We Can't
Afford it!
The media that appears drunk on it's own power and press clippings, and
these myrmidons of Obama's socialist change are ignoring the people and
forging ahead as if there is no one in opposition to what they are
doing and no one capable of stopping them.
We as Americans not only need to throw these bums in Washington out,
but we also need to throw out these bums in media. And we have a lot
faster and more effect means of accomplishing that IMO. Simply don't
patronize their outlets and refuse to patronize their sponsors.
If American businesses and corporate interests want to continue
sponsoring the manufacturing of the silk ropes that will ultimately be
used to strangle the life blood out of their businesses and their
country? There is only one thing that the American people can do in
response.
Refuse to allow these traitors to this country to flourish on our
dollars. We must refuse to continue to finance and enrich them.
If those we have elected and sent to Washington are refusing to listen
to the people and the media is refusing to acknowledge our presence by
the throngs on the mall in Washington this weekend? Then we need to
begin immediately and we need to attack them where they live. We need
to attack their corporate dollars. We need to use the one weapon that
they understand. (the dollar).
We may have to wait a year before we can vote and get rid of those in Washington who
have refused to listen to the people, but we don't have to wait another
minute for our voices or our money to be heard in the corporate board
rooms of media and at the cash registers that finance them across
America.
Some may say that boycotting those who support this liberal media
lunacy is futile and won't work. I say on the contrary. If millions of
people can cut and collect coupons and count calories and read labels
each week to determine which foods and other products are best for
their pocketbooks and their health? Then those same people can be
brought together (and more) to get involved and examine and determine
who is involved and in literally destroying this nation for the almighty
dollar.
If millions of Americans can be brought together to attack a disease
such as breast cancer through awareness? Then we can certainly come
together to attack the disease of socialism that is killing this nation
through a similar effort of awareness and teamwork.
The power to accomplish much still resides in the hands of the people
as it always has. But the people must know and recognize that they
possess that power before it becomes effective and a force to be
reckoned with. Someone was charged with the responsibility of
informing the people and bringing them together as a democratic force
for the benefit of their own better interests and their better
interests as a nation. And that someone was the press.
The founding fathers recognized that nececssity and they entrusted the
responsibility of bringing truth to the people into the hands of the
press. That is why that the right and power of the press was one of the
first rights enshrined in the Bill of Rights by the founding fathers.
"Congress shall make no law
abridging freedom of speech or of the press. Or the right of the people
to peaceably assemble?"
Does anyone truly remember these core rights and values? Or the
responsibilities as they were literally carved in fire and blood on the
soul of this nation when it was created?
The American media (the press) was given one of the most important
rights and responsibilities by the creators of this nation. They were
given the right and responsibility to tell the truth to the American
people and to insure that this nation and it's freedoms would never be
usurped by the dark and sinister forces that would see our freedoms
taken away or torn asunder by the forces of evil.
But now it is that very media that has joined with the usurpers and
those who will willingly hand this nation, it's people and our freedoms
over to those who will gladly see us perish. Our fore bearers saw the
dangers. They lived them. They sacrificed their blood in order to
temper the steel that would become this nation. And now as we stand in
the first decade of a new century, the very ones entrusted with the
power and responsibility of protecting our freedoms, are using their
power to propagate lies and policies that will ultimately lead to the
destruction of this nation.
The American media by and large has become nothing more than
propagandist for the current administration. And they are openly and
blatantly turning their backs on both the people and their
responsibilities to the people.
Don't let them get away with it America. Stand up! Be heard! Shout it
from the mountain tops! We are not going to be silenced. We are not
going to go quietly into the night of darkness, to be spoon fed our
thoughts and enslaved. We will not trade our freedoms for the promises
of evil or the chains of socialist slavery.
The choice is yours America. Stand up and stand up now for what is
right and just and for what millions have sacrificed for, or just
continue to lay down and become the trodden under and the defeated and
the forever conquered.
I for one refuse to be silenced. I refused to be enslaved. I refuse to be
co-opted or told that my freedoms are based upon lies and the
falsehoods of socialist relativism. Join me. Join in saving yourselves.
Participate and demand that your media and elected officials tell the
truth and demand that they recognize the rights of the people.
Join me in turning your back on those who finance the treachery and treason to the American people that is rampant in American media today. It is our money and we had better decide and decide quickly on who will be enriched by our financial support.
They will listen America, provided you speak in unison and swing a big stick.
