When Chris Matthews stated that he was going to work hard for the Obama presidency he wasn't lying. It's appears that the main stream media is not done with this election. In fact, I think they've caught onto the realization of just how effective they were in helping to drive popular opinion accross the nation and world. Just a few glimpses of the headlines from different interent sites today proves that there 'work' continues on. On the edition of Hardball Chris Mathews attacks Gov. Palin on her usuage of 'God' when trying to communicate her view on running in 2012. He states,
"
I mean, seriously, I mean God is telling her to run? And she's saying it openly on a secular television show? This isn't the religious hour....Talking about God, in a political setting is troubling to a lot of people. If you're talking about a big tent, this looks more like the church tent, not the big tent. ",
and adds
,
"I'm not talking about faith, I'm talking about using it politically and talking about it this way, as if that's a determinant. You know we've, "God is on our side,"
kind of talk is very dangerous in the world because a lot of our enemies talk like that. And I think it's just a dangerous way to talk."
So Chris is basically trying to imply that a good change for the GOP would be to stop talking about or making reference to God. He says in the program that he doesn't have any problem with praying cause he "prays all the time", it's just the idea of letting other people in the secular world know about it.
Then over on CNN, Rick Sanchez tries his hand at helping us win in the future by asking south carolina Mark Sanford,
"...[L]et me ask you a very specific question then -- do you need to continue to stand for abortion, do you need -- or abortion rights or do you have to -- let me rephrase that. Do you have to be anti-abortion, because that's a very important, big topic in the South, as is, you know, some of the other amendments for gay rights, for example? Those are two big issues in that area...".
Well Rick, maybe what we should do is simply let all of you in the mainstream media do an extreme makeover and tell us what kind of party we should be.
This is the threat that the conservative party faces in this hour. We cannot allow the media to influence us to move away from our core beliefs. Beliefs that line up with the founding fathers, the Constitution and our national history. Yes we will use the term God and will not be ashamed to mention that at times, we seek divine wisdom, no different than George Washington or Lincoln. Is abortion still a necessary topic for our campaigns? Yes it is and so are the issues surrounding Gay rights. Don't forget that the President elect has no experience to date in an executive position. He has not been tested and tried, nor has he amassed any record to let us know even in a small way how he will govern. This campaign was one of hype and speaches covered by a media hung up on the class instead of the facts. So go gush over your product and leave us conservatives alone.
Liberals change with the people like they have always done for votes, and in this case they got them. The problem is at the end of the day people look for results. They look for stability. The conservative party is that stability and we will keep our eye on the ball set rolling by the likes of Washington, Adams and Jefferson a few hundred years ago. We believe in the Constitution and it's positive liberties. We believe it is good to trust in God and fight for the life of the unborn. No, Mr. Matthews and Mr. Sanchez we don't care what you think.
My conservative and republican friends, we cannot at this hour allow the media to cause us to bend and morph into something we are not. We have had eight years and it's time to re-group and get ready for our next chance, cause it is coming.
