Yesterday across the nation ordinary citizens showed just how fed up they are with the reckless behavior of the U.S. Government. The main thrust of yesterday's TEA parties was that like in the days of the original Boston Tea Party we are being taxed without representation. What's more, our government is spending us into oblivion.

As I mentioned above these were ordinary citizens. However, you would not know that if you listened to the Mainstream Media. Initially they refused to even cover the TEA parties. Then when the story got to big to ignore they began treating the entire idea as laughable. They sneered and smirked and talked about these protesters as if they were some fringe element. And networks such as MSNBC called the participants derogatory names like “teabaggers”. For those of you that don't know it this is a reference to the male scrotum. Lovely isn't it?

A commentator on the aforementioned MSNBC treated protesters as idiots. She would make sarcastic statements about how the taxes paid by them were supporting the parks where the protests were held, and paid for the police and emergency services that oversaw the safety of the crowds. She deliberately missed the point. We are not just protesting high taxes, and we are certainly not protesting the use of those taxes on vital services. We are protesting runaway, insane spending of those tax dollars. And not only spending of the revenue the government already brings in, but spending of money we don't even have, so that our national debt is exploding and we in the thrall of nations like communist China. They even intimated that the parents that brought their children to the rallies to protest the fact that they would paying for this debt long after the parents are dead, were somehow abusing those children. It never bothered liberal anti-war protestors that would stick signs on their children with phrases like “Mr. Bush Please Don't Kill Me”.

But the most enlightening moment of all was during a CNN on-the-street interview where the reporter completely lost her professionalism and exposed something that Conservatives have said for decades: the news media is liberal. Props go to Libertarian Republican for showing the vid.

If the MSM is going to treat ordinary citizens with disdain and contempt, perhaps it's time for us to completely abandon all viewing of their product altogether.

There is a new documentary out that questions the wisdom of Barack Obama's supporters (fans) as well as the complicity of the mainstream news media. The film, How Obama Got Elected, looks at twelve people who voted for Obama on November 4^th. The answers that these twelve individuals gave to various political questions are telling about the intelligence of the American people, specifically those identifying themselves as Democrats, and the voracity of the information disseminated to the public by the news media.

Though I have not seen the doc I have seen comparison-contrast clips on Hannity and Colmes. One of the questions was “Which party is in control of Congress?”. Inevitably, they either claimed not to know or that the Republicans were in charge. Those that claimed not to know “guessed” that the Republicans were in the majority. This despite the fact that Democrats have controlled both houses of the Congress for the past two years.

Another question was, “Which candidate claimed that they had visited 57 states during the campaign?”. Most answered “Sarah Palin”. The correct answer is of course, Barack Obama, the man they voted for. In fact, this was one of the gaffes that Republicans tried to use against Obama to show his naiveté and inexperience. The MSM repeatedly defend Obama regarding this gaffe by saying that anyone that had been campaigning as long and hard as Senator Obama would make similar mistakes. However, when Sarah Palin had similar problems with Africa being a continent and not a nation, the mainstreamers jump on it like ravenous wolves. Even though Palin was the vice-presidential choice, rather than on top of the ticket.

Now much of this ignorance is of course the result of that Democrat darling, government education. For nearly a hundred years the Liberals in the U.S. have pushed the compulsory government education agenda, as well as forcing liberal dogma down the throats of children. And when the results are inevitably horrid they simply claim that all they need is more money for programs, more teachers for the schools and more money to pay the teachers. The teachers unions, just like every other union in this country has the Democrat party tied around their little fingers. They're the only ones that benefit from this tax and throw down a deep dark pit strategy. The students are simply warehoused for eight hours a day for around fourteen years of their lives. And, of course, Liberals continue to try and make compulsory education the law for younger children every year. But the horrendous education system is not the only culprit in the debacle of this year's election.

The Mainstream Media's job is ostensibly educating the American people about the candidates and the option that they have as voters. Unfortunately, during previous elections the MSM has consistently augured for the Democrat. And this election was the most blatant attempt to mold the electorate as the media elites saw fit. Even the Washington Post admitted that they had unfairly given positive coverage to Barack Obama, when compared to John McCain. But why not admit it now; their guy won.

And of course let us not forget that Liberals love to claim that Conservatives are the stupid ones. But after hearing the people who supported Obama I believe that there is more than enough proof that the Dems aim at the lowest common denominator when seeking votes. For the past eight years Republicans have had to listen to the derisive jokes aimed at George W. Bush by those afflicted with Bush Derangement Syndrome. I guess they spent so much time hating W. and lamenting the past that they forgot to learn about their own candidates and the current election.

It should really be no surprise in a nation that gets its “news” mostly from The Daily Show with John Stewart and The Colbert Report, as well as Entertainment Tonight and Extra that people are politically ignorant.
