All freedom loving educated individuals know that publications like the New York Times, Washington Post, and major network news are nothing but propaganda outlets for the Democratic party now. Now they're waking up to the reality that their supposed counterparts like the Wall Street Journal aren't any better in regards to their ability to live in reality.
Low-Road Conservatives
Indiana insurgents play Mickey-Mouse politics against Dick Lugar.
That's the title of one of their articles yesterday.
First we're hobbits, now we're Mickey Mouse. I don't buy the WSJ anymore for a good reason. Its opinion makers and writers are as out of touch as the NYT leftists. They want conservatives to fall in line when the general election comes time and vote for the team with the R cap, but they sure go into a tizzy whenever people actually want a say in a primary about who gets to run in that general election. Our vote is good enough come November, but the rest of the year we're supposed to sit down, shut up and sit in the corner so they can pretend we don't exist. Then they say there is no Republican establishment because they're the obvious conservatives and call us rodents or hobbits.
Lugar has outlived his usefulness, whether or not the fact that he no longer has a residence in Indiana is legal or not. Like the WSJ writers, he's been living in a place that is out of touch with the rest of the country too long and needs to be replaced. It's that simple. Yes, that's right guys, we all don't live in the fantasy lands of Washington DC or New York City. We live in reality and we're going to drag them kicking and screaming back into it as well. Whether they like it or not.

2012 Presidential Primary, March 15th
It's been hard for me to write updates on the 2012 Republican primary. Honestly, the entire process has made me sick to my stomach.
In a year where all the issues are falling on the side of conservatism, two of the four remaining candidates are spending the majority of their time smearing the other two instead of doing their due diligence in convincing me (and others) to vote for them.
Mitt Romney is the biggest offender, and Ron Paul is a close second. It was estimated in Florida that 95% of Romney's ads were negative attack ads against Gingrich instead of telling voters why they should vote for him. He did the same thing in 2008 against people like Fred Thompson, Rudy Giuliani, and Mike Huckabee.
And these millions spent on attacks and smears have prompted the need to respond, and not always in the best way, either. So instead of the issues, we talk about what might or might not be the truth about personal attacks, instead of where each man stands on the issues and how he's going to defeat Barack Obama, the socialist.
And this, more than anything, perhaps even more than his standing next to Ted Kennedy calling his "collaborator" on 'RomneyCare', is what makes it impossible for me to vote for Romney in this primary. And while I'm acutely aware that Obama needs to be defeated and will have to hold my nose and vote for him in the general election if he's the nominee, many, many people will refuse to do so because he has alienated so many people with his smugness and attitude. That number of alienated and pissed off people may exceed even the appalling number of 2008 when McCain was the coronated nominee by the elites in their own minds. Because unfortunately there are still many people who are not engaged and are uninformed, and don't realize the imminent danger of letting Obama be re-elected. And all those people see in Romney are a rich guy with good hair that thinks he's entitled to the nomination because he's "next in line".

The Propaganda Hits a New High
Why is the media celebrating 8.3 percent unemployment? Why are we accepting this as good news even if the numbers weren't absolutely bogus? Why are we accepting this at all?
8.3 percent unemployment? Sure. If you don't bother even counting 1.2 million people that have given up looking totally. Because the economy is so bad, and said 1.2 million people (including myself) have not been able to find stable, FULL-time employment for what's going on four years now, we just don't exist. How convenient for the government and this administration, isn't it? Yet if somehow, miraculously, I get a full time job tomorrow, I will be counted as employed in these propaganda styled statistics. Again, how convenient.
The real number of unemployed is estimated around 11.5 percent when you actually count living, breathing, people who can't find a job. And when you count the people who are settling for part time work when they want and need full time work, the real number is well over twenty percent. Yes, that's right. One out of every five working age people in the nation. Living breathing people. With families, and need to eat, and clothe themselves and feed themselves. People that don't want a handout and be enslaved to government programs, but want to provide for themselves. Not a static to be toyed with to see how good it can make you and your buddies look.
People.
I really can't say it any betterthan here.
So we have the water carriers cheering this, and the presumptive Republican nominee Romney accepting this but saying Obama deserves no credit for it. Instead of breaking down the lie that these numbers represent and then giving Obama (and all his big government lackeys and comrades past and present) credit for that which he deserves. The big mess the big lie is covering up.
