Not So Fast
Walk at your own chosen speed. Nero was a Republican. Chicken Little tactics. Media maniacs. No longer a republic. Plus more.

Jeffery Lord had me until this sentence: “Never again will the media be able to pronounce judgment on others while conveniently avoiding a similar self-examination.” The media has been so successful in being able to pronounce judgment on others that Americans know virtually nothing about the Community Reinvestment Act, Barack Obama’s extensive relationship with ACORN, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, or Barney Frank and Chris Dodd’s overwhelming incompetence and corruption.
When Nancy Pelosi can say Republicans “killed the bailout” despite the fact that 95 members of her own party voted against it, it’s because she has absolute confidence that the media will perpetrate that lie until it becomes the “truth.”
