I've been reading some of the comments about the NYT and the disclosure of obviously sensitive information about the programs developed to aid in the War on Terror. Some of the comments are very caustic. Understandable. We (American Citizens) should be mindful that we live in, operate and enjoy our free democratic society, Free societies always contain elements of different ideologies. Moreover, these elements have a right to be vocal. This is a given.
That said, I agree with the commentator "firetoice" that the MSM is miss named. It should not be named at all. It is merely a propaganda outlet and should be observed in that light. It is obvious that the goal of the editors of the NYT is to cause as much harm as possible to those they don't like. Also obvious is their intense hatred for "conservatives" or Main Stream America, namely the "flyovers".
The troubling aspect of this hate movement is that it is spawned and propagated on the East and West Coast, containing nearly 50% of the entire Nation's population. Even more disturbing is that this segment of popuilation seems to buy into this mindset. The propaganda contunually disseminated not only by the NYT but the leftists in general feeds the hate and insures National Division. This is the root. This Division is a destructive blight on our very existence as a moral, free society.
Our Congressional Leadership, if you can call it that, is a prime example of the deep rift that is polarizing our Nation. All one has to do is listen to and read the bickering, badgering, and outright rude behavior of these people to see that they are not suited for the responsibilities we as voters have given them.
What do we do now? We combat this blight by researching, blogging, voicing our opinions, voting, being informed, staying in contact with each other and our "Leaders". Look for, find, and send good Americans to congress. Honest Americans with moral values and integrity. You and I know what to look for. Lets do it!
