Upon returning home from work, I opened our local newspaper to the Opinion section as I usually do, to read the various opinions, glance over the Letters to the Editor, and see what the Political Cartoon entails. Today’s cartoon had caricatures of Rep. Boehner, Senator McConnell, Governor Palin, Rush Limbaugh, and Glenn Beck carrying emptied gas containers with a fire raging in the background, surrounded by angry Tea Partiers chanting death threats to all liberals. I’m sure you get the drift.
This is quintessential statist denial. They refuse to see that their actions are completely contrary to the will of average American citizens, and no one has incited us other than the policies they rammed down our collective throat. Boehner, McConnell, Bachman, Ryan, Palin, Limbaugh, Hannity, Beck, Levin, Mancow, Bortz, and a host of others merely publicly express our feelings as a whole, not lead us into rampant mayhem.
The MSM complains they do not have the same advantages that conservative talk does . . . what? Wait a minute! Are they proposing that the big three networks, ABC, NBC, and CBS, along with designated news channels such as CNN, HNN, and MSNBC, as well as major print media including the NYT, LA Times, Houston Chronicle, all Belo Media, Newsweek, US News and World Report, and others is not enough to have an advantage? And, of course, there are the leftist radio stations such as NPR and Air America . . . oh, wait a minute — Air America folded due to lack of listeners. . oops!
Is it possible that people do not want to listen to the condescending sniveling of pompous elitists? Could it be that the masses want to hear what is really going on in Washington, the country, and the world, and not just be lulled into a delusional stupor like the mindless minority who listen to the MSM? Are there not plenty of opportunities to hear the left? Perhaps people are fed-up with the liberal bias, and have turned to other sources for their information.
The MSM, again proven by today’s cartoon, consists of a bunch of spoiled brats who do not want any competition, much less lose to it.
