Sometimes when I step back and look at everything liberals control, I see the genius of their long term plan. They control our public education system; it's almost impossible to go through a public university and not come out a liberal. They control Hollywood and therefore control what kind of entertainment we are exposed to. Even though heartwarming, feel-good movies like The Blind Side rake in millions at the box office, Hollywood refuses to make those types of movies a staple. And the liberals control the media. In all aspects liberals control what information is given to us, and how it is portrayed.
Take ABC and CBS. Both of them framed a news story on the Bush tax cuts from a liberal point of view. Their slant was that the money belongs to the government and not to the people that actually earn it, and so therefore it is a windfall for the rich if the Bush tax cuts extend.
Conservatives believe that the money we earn belongs to us, and that Washington serves at the pleasure of the people. Therefore we would like to see news stories framed in such a way as to expose our bloated government and the quid pro quo that goes on in Washington. Deficits are a spending problem, not an earnings problem. Washington will never be able to balance their budget. If tax cuts expire for the wealthy, Washington still will not be able to balance their budget. Then tax cuts will extend down to the middle class, and still Washington will not be able to balance their budget. It's time Washington was forced to balance the budget and make some unpopular decisions. Chris Christie is doing it; it can be done. If not, look only to the state of California to see our future. They have some of the highest taxes in the nation, and they are deeply in debt. They cannot fund their generous and unreasonable public pensions. The government is not a magic fairy with an unlimited supply of money, yet for those that control information dissemination, they fail to articulate this message.
