Regarding The Media

The press’s job is to stand in the ramparts and protect the liberty and freedom of all of us from a government and from organized governmental power.  When they desert those ramparts and decide that they will now become active participants, that their job is not simply to tell you who you may vote for, and who you may not, but, worse—and this is the danger of the last two weeks—what truth that you may know, as an American, and what truth you are not allowed to know,  they have, then, made themselves a fundamental threat to the democracy, and, in my opinion, made themselves the enemy of the American people.

And it is a threat to the very future of this country if we allow this stuff to go on. We have crossed a whole new and frightening slide on the slippery slope this last two weeks, and it needs to be talked about.

Tuesday Morning News and Links

My new position at work has completely wiped out any spare time I had for blogging. There hasn’t even been time for a post in over 10 days now… I’ll keep on with the morning links for a week or so. But if opportunity doesn’t open for more active posting, I’m not sure this is something I should continue. If you have input, I’d love to hear it.

A hell of a week.
Tremendous and frightening.
Let’s call it a day.
