OBAMA CONSIDERS REAL AMERICA "THE ENEMY"
By Christopher G. Adamo
THE POLITICALLY BIASED MAINSTREAM MEDIA'S SUPPRESSION OF THE TRUTH: GLARING DUPLICITY &
DISTORTION IN MAINSTREAM MEDIA COVERAGE OF THE CURRENT CHAOTIC "HEALTHCARE" DEBATE -- NIGHTLY "NEWS"
STORIES NO REFLECTION OF REALITY -- EVENTS SELECTIVELY CITED & DEPICTED SO AS TO PROMOTE THE RADICAL
IDEOLOGY & PUBLIC POLICY AGENDA OF THE LIBERAL LEFTIST POLITICAL CABAL & ITS NETWORK OF PROPAGANDISTS IN
THE "NEWS" MEDIA -- ENDEAVORING TO COVER UP THE ENORMOUS GROWNDSWELL OF OPPOSITION TO THE OBAMA
ADMINISTRATION ERUPTING THROUGHOUT THE U.S.A. -- BUDDING SIGNS OF DANGEROUS ABUSES OF POWER BY THE
OBAMA ADMINISTRATION, IN RESPONSE TO THE GENUINE GRASSROOTS OPPOSITION TO OBAMA'S COLLECTIVIST
POLITICAL AGENDA
FULL STORY:
The glaring duplicity in mainstream media coverage of the current chaotic “healthcare”
debate is unparalleled. When a lone gunman shoots an abortionist, the
nightly news incessantly recounts the event for weeks, insisting that the
brutal action most certainly reflects a universal mindset among any and all
who call themselves pro-life. But let the people of heartland America rise
up in unprecedented numbers at Democratic Party “town hall” meetings and voice their
sincere opposition to the attempt by President Barack Obama and the political Left to implement
socialized “health care,” and they are derided as merely a loud, but
insignificant, “fringe.”
In other words, the stories presented on the nightly news are no reflection
of reality. Instead, events are selectively cited and depicted so as to
promote the Leftist ideology of the network “news” apparatchiks.
An enormous groundswell of opposition to the Obama administration is
erupting throughout the land. Real Americans are shaking off their former
apathy and reasserting their role in the workings of the national
government. Congressional and White House Liberals are being put to flight
and their public policy agenda is being driven back. Yet, the Liberal media cabal lacks
even that shred of objectivity needed to address this pivotal moment in
American history with any degree of honesty.
Worse yet, the budding signs of dangerous abuses of power by the Obama
administration, in response to this genuine grassroots opposition to his
collectivist agenda, are clearly not being properly represented as the
threat they pose. The sounding of such a clarion call would represent the
true purpose of the “free press” guaranteed by the Framers of the U.S.
Constitution and the Bill of Rights. Yet those entrusted to do so have, of
their own free will, sold out to the statist oligarchy in a manner even more
flagrant than might be the case under despotic rule where conformity to the
party line would have been forcibly imposed upon them.
Ominous signs of a coordinated suppression of truth are rampant. They
represent a far more significant threat to the security and freedom of every
American, irrespective of political leaning, than any military or terrorist
assault in the history of the country. Nevertheless, they continue to ensue
virtually unmentioned and unchallenged anywhere in the major media.
In St. Louis, Missouri, an event reminiscent of Germany’s “Brownshirts,” or "Sturmapteilung,"
erupted in which Kenneth Gladney, an African-American black Conservative, was brutally
assaulted and beaten by pro-Obama activists. During the course of their
attack they hurled racial epithets and threats at him. Still, coverage of
the event or subsequent efforts to bring the attackers to justice have been
scarce. Clearly, the Liberal Democrat/media axis is only “concerned” about
racism and “hate crimes” when they can be exploited to serve the cause of
the political Left. As a Conservative, Gladney and his plight clearly do not.
Rather, the unilateral Liberal Leftist misinformation campaign has labeled any and
all opponents of their agenda as “Nazis,” an “angry mob,” and “un-American.”
Guarantees of free speech, the right to peaceably assemble (and despite the
media hype, these protestors are boisterous and energetic, but in no way
violent or unruly), and the ability to petition the government for a redress
of grievances are summarily dispatched at the altar of Leftist political expediency.
The First Amendment has clearly become a distraction to this "worthy" Leftwing Liberal
cause.
An even more menacing action came directly from the White House itself.
Realizing that Barack Obama’s underhanded program can only be successfully
achieved within a complete media/information monopoly, he has called on
sympathetic minions to help compile an “enemies list” by submitting the
identities of any who dare to resist his medical socialism plan by
disseminating any information that “seems fishy.”
The completely ambiguous and broad nature of this qualifier is entirely
deliberate. By leaving the definition of “fishy” completely in the eyes of
the Leftist beholder, Obama and his statist cabal can paint with a broad
brush any who dare to offer any view other than the statist-approved opinion
on the government takeover of the medical industry. In this manner, he hopes
to intimidate the faint of heart and thus discourage further participation.
To date, these devious schemes have only served to energize the grassroots,
who realize that, as efforts on both sides of the issue intensify, the stakes
for their freedom and the very future of their country are raised. Lose this
battle, with all of the criminal duplicity that the Left has employed, and
the former greatness of their country is finished. Not only will the medical
socialists henceforth seize complete dominion over who will and will not
receive care, but the very manner in which such statism is imposed will
serve as a model for the complete eradication of freedom from every aspect
of life in this country.
Sadly, while real America is not backing down, Republican insiders are, once
again, bending to the political pressures from inside the Beltway. Few have
risen to the defense of the protestors with any real exuberance. U.S. Senate
Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (Republican - Kentucky), who should be leading the
Conservative charge, instead, offered this insipid observation “I think
attacking citizens in our country for expressing their opinions about an
issue of this magnitude may indicate some weakness in their position on the
merits.”
This is no time for such faux diplomacy. When the Left seeks to forcibly
impose its agenda, while working to stamp out every opposing voice, the
Conservative counter-offensive must be far more strident. Anything less than
a response of equivalent ferocity from those in positions of prominence on
the political Right, especially considering the worthiness of the cause, amounts to a
capitulation to the enemies of freedom.
It is high time for U.S. House and Senate Republicans to become fully
engaged in this conflict. Obama, Pelosi, and their kind have made their
position and their ultimate intentions clear. They are waging an all-out war
to wrest complete control of the future of the country from its citizenry.
Acquiescence under the guise of “ending the rancor,” “finding common
ground,” or “bipartisanship,” is not an option.
