I am so tired of being left out of the loop. The communists, crooks and community organizers in Washington don’t need me when they can ram legislation through Congress with a promise to fix it later. They don’t care whether I get it or not as long as they get what they want.

I am so tired of being lied to by people with access to the press. The press lets politicians butter its bread. The press is vociferous. I mean that its voice carries much further than yours or mine. It carries the facts it decides to report. It spins those facts with words it chooses to use. And it makes the skeptical and critical out to be not only incorrect, but evil as well.

The parameters of public discussion used to be Standard English, rational and moral integrity, a firsthand knowledge of the issues and the best interests of our country. Now, most of those standards have been demonized as politically incorrect vestiges of white supremacy and oppression.

We need to break free from the straitjacket of this propaganda. We need to climb out of the multicultural and socialist pit, which is being dug deeper every day as the umarked grave of what was once the greatest nation on Earth. And we need to do it now.
