American people react

It appears that the Information Age, which has just started taking effect this election season, has created something which is confounding the Left. For a long time the Left could start a smear campaign, or push a piece of propaganda, and with the help of media they influenced public opinion. Now, the smear campaigns and propaganda appear to work for a short time, then once information is put forth to refute the smear campaign and propaganda, there's a shift in public opinion, and the Left is taking it on the chin over and over.

The most recent example is the Democrat/media manufactured War on Women. This has backfired on the Left, and what should have been a 24 story regarding Hilary Rosen's comment disparaging Ann Romney for being a stay at home mom is now becoming a prolonged backlash against those who think smearing and lying are substitutes for intellectual content.

Morning Joe 1/12/2012 -- Democrat Propaganda Machine

MSNBC is part of the propaganda machine and Morning Joe participants are faithful servants. The only question now in liberal media is how to get the Democrat Party to become even more progressive than they've been -- this serves as self-criticism on the Left. They say - Yes, Democrats are far superior to Republicans, but pressure has to be kept on politicians to do even more. More what? They don't really say, specifically -- just more. Tavis Smiley and Cornell West were on Morning Joe and they talked for 15 minutes about politicians ignoring poor people, but they never once proposed any government solutions they'd like to see enacted. Smiley and West were allowed to denigrate the private sector, the market and capitalism with no one challenging their claims. David Remnick was on and he reminded Smiley and West that Obama has helped the poor with Obamacare -- the anti-capitalism duo agreed and said Obama is great and all, but he must do more. More what? They didn't say. More and more and more -- that's the message.

Scarborough trashed Republican primary candidates and praised Obama's "insourcing" gathering which took place yesterday. Never mind that Obama has attempted to block Boeing and job creation in SC, and he has killed job creation with Obamacare and stimulus and the threat of higher taxes -- well, the promise of higher taxes in Obamacare -- and he has blocked job creation in the enegy sector. That's reality, wich is far from the Morning Joe set. Scarborough says anyone who criticizes his objective approach is stupid and they don't understand fairness. Yep.

The Left and Big Government Republicans are about power, although there are some on the Left and Right who really care about issues like poverty. Statists from both sides, though, care mostly about power. It's not socialism -- no, it's just plain old, banal power-grabbing and control of the few over the many. Industries have arisen on the Left to push poverty alleviation, environment protection, gay rights, animal rights, and they are making a good living keeping these issues alive -- they don't really do much to develope solutions -- they want bigger, more powerful, more interventionist government and more redistribution of wealth. Much of this on the Left is about subjugating capitalists and controlling the nation's wealth -- there's some good gigs to be had by the elite Left and the competition is stiff. In the meanwhile, poor people are not helped in any real way. But it's not really about poor people -- it's about power and subsidized positions in the statist world of special interest groups. They don't produce anything, and they don't create wealth, but they sure burn up some wealth -- other people's wealth.
