The "mainstream media" which I choose to refer to as the "lame stream media" has begun to reload their proverbial guns to wage all out war on this country, our Constitution, and our way of life. Bias has been present for as long as news has been reported, only recently has this bias taken over in such a way that it is beginning to completely brainwash society as a whole. The worst aspect of this brainwashing is that many don't even realize it's happening. All to often the "lame stream media" is able to twist stories in such a way that they are able to play on people emotions. As a result people become emotionally involved in the story forgetting to let fact and logic weigh in.
With the advent of the Internet and the 24/7 news cycle, news never sleeps. As this is the case a variety of news outlets have come to the forefront including Fox News, MSNBC aka MSLSD, CNN and countless local news outlets. This has provided the viewer with a variety of options as to how they decide to watch and listen to their news. This is where we the people must become more knowledgeable in regards to what we choose to watch. It is essential that we become well versed in the various twists each of these networks put on stories and even more so, what stories they decide to report on in the first place.
All too often many of the news outlets only report on specific stories that play into their specific agenda. This agenda I speak of refers to who is pulling the strings of each news outlet. It has become all to prevalent that MSNBC is more left leaning while Fox News is more right leaning. As a result we must be able to form our own educated opinions while watching either news outlet. I also have become quite partial to Glenn Beck's new network called The Blaze as this seems to be one of the most honest and straightforward news outlets available today.
Regardless of how you choose to get your news, it is more important today than it has ever been that you become informed as to what is really going on in the world today. Whether you choose to take up the progressive or liberal mindset (I can't think of any reason why anyone would do this) or a more conservative or libertarian mindset, do your homework and inform yourself. Do not let yourself be brainwashed by any single news outlet. I'm sure if you do your homework and understand the principles from which this country was founded you will end up on the "right side" and take up the conservative, libertarian movement with me and my fellow patriots!!

Have We Lost Our Way? What July 4th Means to Me!!
On this, the 237th birthday of this great nation, I feel it is time we all reflect upon how this country was founded and how far we have come since this countries birth. The 4th of July isn't just about fireworks and barbecues, the 4th of July is about the birth of the greatest nation on the face of the planet. Many progressives today would lead you to believe differently as our own president is constantly traveling around the world on apology tours letting the rest of the world know just how horrible our country is. This mentality found in so many progressives today is leading this country down the path to destruction. Many in this country have lost sight of what this country was founded upon and begun to take up the progressive agenda becoming so consumed with arbitrary concepts such as becoming part of the "global community" they have since lost sight of what America stands for.
July 4th, 1776 some of the greatest minds in all of history came together lead by sound morals and a belief in God. They believed that all men are created equal, and that they are endowed by their CREATOR with certain UNALIENABLE RIGHTS that among these are LIFE, LIBERTY and THE PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS! These words have such a significant meaning then and still do today as the founding fathers intended to provide the framework for a nation based on rights provided us from God, not from government.
Fast forward 237 years and we are dealing with a mindset in this country in which progressives have many believing that these rights our forefathers died for, these rights provided to us from God are now provided to us from government. The government has instituted a variety of programs to coddle its citizens into a false sense of security brainwashing them to believe that they can rely on government for every single need from the cradle to the grave.
Aside from social welfare programs and universal healthcare, the government is also attempting to eliminate religion from society. Why would a government do such a thing? The answer is simple, eliminate religion and you leave people with only one thing left to rely on, one thing to place their faith and hope in, government. How are they doing this? They are attempting to instill in the American Citizens a mindset that there is a "separation of Church and state" in the Constitution, when in reality the Constitution simply states that their can be no official religion and that each individual has the right to pursue his or her religion openly and freely.
As this country continues to forge on into the future we are coming to a turning point, one that can truly change the course of history, one that we must fully understand to be sure we make the right decision for future generations. We must strive to instill in our children the true history of this great nation, what drove the founders here and what inspired them to create such a great country, a country of opportunity and freedoms, one that where if you work hard and live a good honest life you can be something. A country where you can raise a family and instill in your children the morals and values of our forefathers and practice your religion openly without the fear of persecution. If we are to survive as a nation we must stay true to our roots!!

Get the Government Out of Marriage
Today we received the HUGE news that DOMA or the defense of marriage act has been struck down by the supreme court. This brings about much debate as to the significance of this ruling. First and foremost the entire idea of the bill is completely unconstitutional as the constitution has no bearing on marriage. Due to the fact that Bill Clinton signed this bill into law nearly 10 years ago we have since had been debating the validity of this law.
Regardless of how this law is interpreted, the bill is entirely unconstitutional and it is a victory that it has been somewhat revoked. Notice I say somewhat... This is the case because the Supreme Court did rule on the law by explaining that it is indeed unconstitutional, although they left it up to the states to determine the validity of the law. This ruling is also a victory for the constitutionalist as they recognized state sovereignty.
We must also address proposition 8 in California which is now coming into play as a result of the ruling today. There has been word that they are trying to overturn the revocation of this proposition as it had been recently voted down. This is where it gets frustrating, the left always says the people should be heard. This is an instance where the people decided, but they decided against the progressive agenda and the progressives can't stand it. Therefore they are stomping their feet like little children and complaining about how they are going to get their way anyway. PATHETIC!!!
There is another major point of concern in regards to the ruling handed down today. Now that DOMA has been ruled upon, it is only a matter of time before the progressives attempt to make it mandatory that religious institutions accept gay marriage even if it goes against everything they stand for. Mark my words this is their overall goal and they will attempt to accomplish this by removing tax exempt status from the religious institutions if they don't comply. This is where we conservatives and constitutionalists must keep up the fight as the left continues to attack all forms of religion in this country in an attempt to break down the societal structure that has held us together since this country was founded.
Regardless of your stance on the issue posed by DOMA it is indeed an unconstitutional law and a victory that is has been somewhat overturned. While this is the case we must realize that the government shouldn't have any say in marriage whatsoever.

Amnesty for Illegals, The Downfall of The United States As We Know It
From the time this country was founded immigrants have served as the backbone of this great nation. We are a country founded on the hard work and determination of those immigrants and have since evolved into the greatest country on the face of the planet. "Yes I said the greatest country on the face of the planet even though many "elite progressives" like to think otherwise." As the country grew there came a point in time where limits had to be placed on immigration and as a result places like Ellis Island were constructed to ensure this country was taking in only those individuals who could contribute to society.
Fast forward some two hundred years and we find ourselves in a situation starkly different than the one our forefathers faced. This situation is ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION and the fact that those in power today are using the idea of immigration as a political football to ensure their reelection and continued control over the political system in this country. You may ask how exactly are they turning immigration into a political football?? One word AMNESTY!!!
The democrats have become the party of the handout and "free stuff". This is precisely why they are so in favor of amnesty. If this amnesty bill does indeed pass the roughly 30 million illegal immigrants will fall directly into they hands of the welfare system. Once this occurs the democrats will play off of this and continue to offer more and more free stuff at the cost of the tax payer. Increasing the "free stuff" class in this country will lead to higher taxes for those of us in the real working class and in turn continue the demise of our economy.
The enormous illegal immigration problem in this country is much larger than politicians and the lame stream media would lead you to believe. They constantly throw around differing numbers in regards to how many illegals are living here, there current favorite number happens to be 11 million. That number may have been the case some 5 years ago, but according to recent statistics from the Center for Immigration Studies, "If immigration continues at current levels, the nation's population will increase from 301 million today to 468 million in 2060, an increase of roughly 167 million people or 56%.
Take into account the family and friends that would also arrive here as a result of the proposed amnesty bill and you have nearly 60 million additional American citizens. We currently have an unemployment rate of around 7% with nearly 90 million AMERICANS currently out of the workforce and we want to add another 60 million people??? Where is the logic???
Another issue many progressives have trouble coming to grips with is the idea that giving amnesty to illegals will in turn become a burden on the social welfare systems already in place in this country. When these people become citizens they automatically become eligible for Obamacare and many other social welfare programs.
According to the Center for Immigration Studies, "Amnesty for illegal immigrants will cause costs to increase significantly from $10.4 billion a year to $28.8 billion. This is because an amnesty program would transform an illegal immigrant to an "unskilled immigrant with legal status" who could access various government programs. However, due to low income, these "unskilled immigrants with legal status" would likely make very modest tax payments."
Lets face it, amnesty for illegals won't only be a burden on the welfare systems in this country, it will bring down society as a whole as it continuously erodes American values, it will expand the welfare state as these individuals will continue to vote for "free stuff" like we have seen over the last 6 years, and it will be a burden on the already fragile economy.
