Admiral relieved of command. Makes me wonder more...

Enough people read alternative media for the word to get out.

The media may, but may get him
impeached if re-elected. It should get
him thrown in jail, either way. He broke
his oath to protect and defend Americans.

Hate to say it, but the only thing he will see is four more years at best or millions in the lecture circuit at worst. None of this is likely to stick.

Sorry for the pessimism.

Dan makes an excellent point here. I'm a news junkie and always have been. The more that is out there, the more i look at. Most everyone that has eyes to see has figured out that, for the most part, the "mainstream" (....alphabet media outlets on tv...) and the big city and syndicaed newspaper media are insufferable socialists who will shill for their pet beliefs. I never watch the "mainstream media" on tv. I do read some of their articles and opinion pieces. Most of my news comes from the blogs and Drudge over the net.

My 23 year old pointed out to me the other day (....he goes to a local community college...) that he and all his friends get their "news" thru the blogs and social media. For the most part, they have figured out that the old time "big media" is lyin about everything or shilling for their favorite candidate or political operative. They are cynical and are, at heart, isolationist (....as far as foreign conflict is concerned...) libertarians. His speech on the media goes somethin like this:

"....When the greatest generation wuz alive and voting for FDR, they were fed the "news" that the elites wanted them to hear. There wuz one funnel and one megaphone. That megaphone wuz the radio and the newspaper. Folks were also too busy makin a livin and tryin to eat to worry too much about much more than that, and they believed their leaders were tryin to do the right thing. Today there is a lot more prosperity (...despite this current crop of stupidity whe have in the whitehouse...) and there is more time to think and millions more ways to get information. The internet has made everyone a reporter and its almost impossible for some jackass like biden or nobama (....or any other political or public figure....) to go out and say somethin at one place and contradict it at another without some nerd catchin him in a lie and posting the original video. I (...he and me....) never believe anything that comes out of a mainstream reporter or politico's mouth until it has been verified several places....".

I count all that cynicism a good thing. Ya cant lie anymore without gettin caught by someone; and that is exactly what will happen to nobama on this Bengazi thing....".

Another fact is that we are polarized as a culture. On the one side, ya have the "gimme" generation who believe the union drivel and the demorat mantra of "...mo,mo,mo...". They prefer the mainstream media.
On the other side, ya have the capitalists and the libertarians who actually believe that the Constitution means what it says, and who want government to quit interferin in their lives and encroaching on the liberties that they understand are guaranteed by the Constitution. This bunch believes nothin that the mainstream media and the "mo,mo,mo" bunch believes. They tend to look to the blogs for news.

I say that when Jesus prophetically spoke to the people and said: "...There is nothing whispered in the ear in the innermost room of the house that will not be shouted from the rooftops..."; He was speaking speaking on several levels. The time for the terrestrial fullfillment of His pronouncement is here. People are listening more and more. They no longer trust their political operatives nor their pimps in the media.
People are cynical and skeptical. They well should be.

I say, keep listenin, this one aint over by a long shot.
