Combating Liberal Media Bias

Do you ever ask yourself, “Why do people blog?”  We do.  We started blogging out of concern and frustration over the direction our country was taking.  At the time we began our joint venture, the presidential elections of 2008 loomed in the not so distant future.  We had read a great deal about the front runner for the Democratic Party, an it was a frightening prospect. We, being the opinionated sisters we are, wanted to make our views known to a larger audience.  Having both majored in education, we felt compelled to “educate” our audience on the conservative point of view.

Our reason for presenting the conservative view point was inspired by the continued bias we saw in the mainstream media.  Their selectiveness in showing only the liberals' position on issues as being the proper one for Americans to follow, and their ridiculing of conservative views and conservatives in general was more than we could tolerate. Even those who took a moderate political stance were a target for them.

Sadly, we Americans have become a nation of non-thinkers.  Some of us at least are, and yet others of us think entirely too much.  We sisters fall in the latter category.  If we were concerned in 2007 and 2008, one can imagine how we feel about the direction of our country since Barack Hussein Obama was elected president.  He was elected in great part because he was the darling of the mainstream media who elevated him to deity status.  Worst of all, the non-thinking Americans took the bait, hook, line and sinker, and voted as told.

Now, we often hear our fellow citizens, even some of the celebrities who used their influence and clout to help elect Obama, express regret for their vote. It's been called "Buyers' Remorse."   To us that is like asking to be excused for their poor judgment and the answer to that has to be a resounding, “No!”  No, we won’t excuse you for casting a vote for this man who cannot take responsibility for his actions.  No, we won’t give you a walk for saddling the American people with a man who promised Hope and Change and the only thing that has come out of his administration is the vile, unsustainable Obama Care which was pushed down the voters’ throats in spite of their protestations.

You Obamanites  want us to excuse you for being so gullible that you followed the lead of such political experts as Oprah Winfrey, Jon Bon Jovi, Bruce Springsteen, Barbra Streisand, and Janine Garofalo to name a few?  Hell, No!  Americans are still some of the few people left on the planet who are endowed with the ability to exercise their free will, and rather than to pick a book up, or read BOTH sides of the issues presented in the campaign, you became sheep, following the lead of others.  Those who were unable to discern when they were being conned and indoctrinated by the print and electronic media, without seeing  the bias, are to blame for putting this unknown, inexperienced, community organizer in the White House and in the seat normally occupied by the leader of the free world. 

We are now facing the same situation as we did in 2007, only this time Barack Hussein Obama’s so called “charisma” is non-existent.  His numbers are down in the polls.  The American economy is in a downward spiral, our national debt is astronomical, the unemployment and housing market rates  are not anywhere near recovery.  The American dollar, once the standard for the entire world’s currency, has lost its value.  The pacifist president who lured votes by arguing against the war in Iraq has now spent billions of our defense budget in a war in Libya, a country not vital to our national interest, and one with whom he had a peaceful understanding.  We’re not excusing Gadhafi; we are refuting the expense of that needless "non-war" when we need that money here at home.

The summer of 2011 has come and gone.  American children are now back in school, and many of them were not even able to afford a weekend away, yet America’s First Lady has luxuriously vacationed in the last three years. The cost for those vacations has been an estimated $10 million dollars, paid for by the American taxpayer. In fact the president himself is presently vacationing in the elite New England town of Martha’s Vineyard. 

In Barack Obama we have a president who has always sided with the Muslims who invaded our homeland and who have openly expressed to destroy us.  However he has offended and ignored Israel, our only ally in the Middle East for over 60 years.

The purpose of this writing is not really to enumerate all of Obama’s  many faults and errors, none of which, by the way he claims as his own.  Rather it is to encourage our fellow citizens not to be hoodwinked this second time around.  We beseech our American brothers and sisters, regardless of race, color, creed, ideology or philosophy to become independent thinkers.  Analyze the facts, think ahead – think about future generations of Americans.  We need to oust Barack Hussein Obama from office.  We need to defeat him in 2012. 

If the United States of America is to survive as the great nation that it has always been, we must return to America’s founding principles.  Read the Constitution and our country’s Declaration of Independence every now and then, it will restore your pride in your country and your will to make her great once again.

How do we combat media bias and propaganda?  Challenge the media  to regain their integrity and to return to honest, unbiased, objective journalism.  Their job is to inform us of the facts, not to sway our opinion.  Our duty is to analyze the facts and put our country before the one issue vote.  Never has the question that John F. Kennedy asked during his Inaugural Address been so easily answered.  He said: “And so, my fellow Americans: ask not what your country can do for you — ask what you can do for your country.” We leave the answer up to you.
