Conservative Blog Reporting on Media Bias and the Liberal Agenda

It is important to note that Franklin, Jefferson, Adams, Hamilton and others settled on the design of our republic only after deliberate, prolonged and intense study of those societies that have and haven’t succeeded in history. Clearly, they were brilliant men dedicated to the cause of creating a long-lasting society in which government ruled by the consent of the governed. However, it is important to stress that their brilliance permitted the execution of a plan only after long study of history. They could not have reached their inspired conclusion and design if they had been ignorant of history’s successes and failures. They were a combination of brilliant, inspired and educated. Their research led them to understand what had to be done. These men were intensely dedicated to their cause and it is important to mention that the founding fathers’ vision had to survive the test of the fire of their individual and collective intensity. Their exercise was not all peace and love and they fought and argued about all aspects of the Constitution they were producing. They continued to argue vehemently about changes to it after it was passed. Jefferson, Adams, Franklin, and Hamilton had REAL issues with each others philosophies. But the end result is the most revered document in the history of governments and the birth of the most successful and free society that the world has ever known.

However, throughout the entire 20th century in the United States there has been a very well planned and deliberate effort to destroy what our founding fathers carefully crafted. This effort has its genesis in the Progressive movement which started about 100 years ago and has accelerated dramatically with the election of Barack Obama . During the bulk of the 20th century it was a subtle, gradual movement that sneaked its way into our society past generations of freedom loving Americans. It even escaped the notice of what has been called “Our Greatest Generation” that survived the great depression, saved the planet in World War II, and built our late 20th century economic juggernaut.

Peacock is not the discoverer of the progressive movement’s effort to destroy our republic. That credit belongs to many others who have done years of research and put together the clues that led to this frightening discovery. Peacock just wants to help spread the word and help to mobilize America to save our republic.

Please take the time at this point to read the following two articles. They aren’t long but they are important and informative.

The first one comes from the June 28, 2010 issue of “The American Thinker”. It is titled Cloward-Piven Government and was written by James Simpson on November 23, 2009.

The second one is an opinion piece written for the “Las Vegan Review-Journal”. It is titled Obama’s Agenda: Overwhelm the System. It is important to note that this article is written by Wayne Allen Root who was a classmate of Obama’s at Columbia University.

Obama and the Progressives are counting on American ignorance of their true agenda to deliberately and  rapidly push our great country toward total chaos, and then to socialism, before we have the chance to wake up and respond.

Those who believe in the Constitution and the vision of our founding fathers must vote in numbers never before experienced and quickly remove those from office who would destroy the America most of us believe in.

More and more people are beginning to recognize that Obama’s presidency is a disaster for America. His favorability ratings continue to decline at a very steady pace. He and the Progressive-controlled Democratic Congress have forced through Socialist bills that dramatically increase spending and are opposed by the majority of Americans. His “leadership” has pushed our record deficit even higher at an accelerating rate. The actions listed in the two articles referenced above are a well thought out formula for the destruction of America. While more of us are becoming aware of the disaster we are racing toward too few are ignorant of the fact that this is a deliberate headlong rush toward a well planned chaos designed to destroy America. Let’s be perfectly clear about this. President Obama is a puppet of the Progressive movement as defined by Cloward and Piven, funded by George Soros and pushing its agenda at an accelerating rate now that the nation has installed the most liberal United States Senate voter ever into the American Presidency. President Obama isn’t incompetent or stupid. He is the brilliant tool of the Progressive movement and he is totally dedicated to destroying our republic.

If Barack Obama’s actions aren’t sufficient evidence of his intentions perhaps his associations will help to define his feelings and objectives. Look at the person closest to him in his life. On February 18, 2008 Michelle Obama stated that “ . . . for the first time my adult life I am proud of my country . . .”. She was never proud of our country before 2008? Then why the hell is she still living here? And why is she our First Lady? Then there is his minister of 20 years, Reverend Jeremiah Wright who called on blacks to sing “God Damn America”. And Rev. Wright is in the news again this week with racist and anti-Semitic comments. If President Obama is brilliant then he certainly knew after 20 years that Jeremiah Wright was a white-hating, anti-Semitic bigot. Peacock has been told throughout life that we are known by those we associate with. If those who have been closest to the President aren’t proud of or hate America, or hate white people and Jews then how does our President really feel? What are his real reasons for wanting to be President of the United States of America?

Peacock implores you to study the facts for yourself and reach your own well-informed decision. It appears that the American voter is beginning to do just that. In the last few months we have seen the balance of power begin to shift toward those who believe in the founding principles of our nation and the intensely-researched work of our founding fathers. However, we want to emphasize that the Progressive movement of which Obama is a part doesn’t just represent a difference of opinion over the interpretation of the Constitution and resultant law. The Progressive movement, with Obama as their tool, wants to completely destroy America by driving it into economic and social chaos. This gives them the excuse to abandon democracy, free enterprise and capitalism and impose a socialist society on the ashes of what they have destroyed.

There are many ways to declare and wage war. For some it is continuous economic competition with the objective of destroying another society. Intelligence organizations  constantly seek ways to undermine the enemy while working to discover others trying to do the same in return. There are small scale guerrilla wars, secret armed infiltrations, strategic strikes and full-scale declared wars. For many nations these are all being fought simultaneously and perpetually. Another way to declare war is to quietly, subtly and gradually infiltrate the political infrastructure of the nation you are working to conquer. This can be done from inside or outside or both. The Progressives have been waging this war from inside for a century.

In the United States this war is being aggressively fought by Progressives through the voting booth. Progressives and extreme Liberals have been voting into office those who feel the Constitution is obsolete, believe capitalism is evil and insist on redistribution of wealth through high taxes. These people elected to our highest offices are making appointments of those who are like-minded to powerful bureaucracies and permanent judicial posts.

Make no mistake about it. The Progressives have been quietly fighting this war for a century. This war shockingly accelerated with the election of Obama and his appointments of other Progressives and Socialists. The shock of this acceleration toward Socialism has been so great that it has awakened many Americans from their ignorance of the chaos the Progressives are working toward. Perhaps this shocking acceleration is the wake up call needed to fully engage those who believe in our Constitution and the vision of our founding fathers in this war started by the Progressives. It is frankly a war that Conservatives must fully engage in if we are to save our Republic. Those who believe in the Constitution and the vision of our founding fathers must vote in numbers never before experienced and quickly remove those from office who would destroy the America most of us believe in.

The “Rolling Stones” article about General McChrystal makes it clear that the general has little to no respect for his Commander-in-Chief or for most of his staff. I guess that is to be expected. You have to show respect before you can receive respect and it is clear that the man in charge of our entire United States military has no respect for military people. If he did he wouldn’t be enforcing rules of engagement that end up getting more of our military killed than is necessary. Perhaps our Commander-in-Chief doesn’t understand what President Lincoln understood when he was looking for a general who would brutally execute the Civil War in the short term in order to bring it to a quicker, more merciful end.

Perhaps he doesn’t understand a lot of things.

He doesn’t understand that raising taxes stifles business.

He doesn’t understand that nationalized health care and the health care regulations he is forcing down our throats stifle, and even end, businesses because they can’t afford the extra cost.

He doesn’t understand that environmental regulations that force oil companies to drill in more dangerous waters can result in greater hazard to the environment.

He doesn’t understand that taking from the rich to give to the poor makes the rich give up and makes the poor lazy.

He doesn’t understand that BP doesn’t give a damn about his criticism or his puny financial penalties. They are a British company that can declare bankruptcy in its U.S. branch, expand its operations in other parts of the world and probably improve its financial position in the process.

He doesn’t understand that shutting down all oil rigs in the Gulf of Mexico makes our Jihadist enemies stronger while it puts Americans out of work.

He doesn’t understand that our porous borders make America vulnerable to terrorist attack and weaken our economy as American business pays more tax to support the illegal alien burden.

He doesn’t understand that all of these things combine to weaken America economically, militarily, and in the eyes of all in the world who have in the past seen America as the dominant power in economics, capitalism, democracy and personal success.

If he doesn’t get it then he is by far the most inept President and Commander-in-Chief that this country has ever had.

Then again, maybe he does get it. Maybe his actions are designed to level the playing field and make our country just one of the world pack.

If he doesn’t get it then he is incredibly dangerous. If he does get it he is beyond incredibly dangerous.

On the morning of August 29, 2005,  a Category 3 hurricane by the name of Katrina slammed into an unprepared Louisiana coastline with sustained winds of 125 miles per hour.  In New Orleans, the tidal surge overwhelmed the antiquated levy system and flooded major sections of the city, exacerbating the damage brought on by the hurricane force winds.  The disaster, which had long been predicted, had finally happened.

Although President Bush had declared a state of emergency on August 27, two days before the storm, the first response to hurricanes has always fallen to state and local authorities, with FEMA acting in a back-up role.  “Within the United States and as delineated in the National Response Plan, disaster response and planning is first and foremost a local government responsibility. When local government exhausts its resources, it then requests specific additional resources from the county level. The request process proceeds similarly from the county to the state to the federal government as additional resource needs are identified. Many of the problems that arose developed from inadequate planning and back-up communications systems at various levels,”  said a commission studying the failures of the government response.

President Bush did a fly-over of the area on August 31st, and was on the ground by Friday, September 2nd.

Almost immediately, before the water had begun to recede,  the Bush administration was attacked by the media, democratic politicians, and celebrities as being unresponsive to this national tragedy, and was even accused of being a racist as a majority of the damage fell upon African Americans.  In many respects,  Bush’s second term never recovered from this onslaught.

Fast-forward five years to this same part of our country.  On April 20 the Deep Water Horizon drilling rig suffered a catastrophic explosion which killed 11 people and left the well head gushing into the Gulf of Mexico.  Unlike Katrina where the news media had been pre-positioned, it took several days for this event to become a major news story.  When it did, the driller,  British Petroleum, was still trying to figure out how to stop the flow of oil from the wellhead.  As the populace began to look to the government for solutions, President Obama made a trip to the Gulf Coast on May 2,  a full twelve days after the event,  and summarily pointed the finger at BP.  This lapse of time before any administration response was greeted by the media,  democratic politicians,  and celebrities with … silence.  Now,  almost two months since the event,  oil still flows into the Gulf.

Peacock has never believed that the President of The United States of America should be the Responder in Chief to every national emergency.  Frankly, the learning moment in both these tragedies is that no one should count on the government to do anything, or to do it right should they make an attempt.  (Government fails spactularily at every thing it touches,  and Peacock has often wondered why anyone in their right mind would want more of it.)

Therefore, when two months after the Deep Water Horizon explosion the media slowly began to react to polls that said that 69 percent of the population did not approve of President Obama’s handling of the situation, Peacock felt the same as he did with the criticism of President Bush.  These people are not Super Heroes,  do not have magical powers,  and are they themselves too often victimized by their own tangled and bloated bureaucracies.

Certainly, there was unequal treatment by the media, et al, of these two men, but they were also unequal responsibilities involved.  As mentioned previously,  in hurricane situations the pre-planning and first response to the storm is left to state and local government.  In the case of an oil spill, the legal responsibility falls directly upon the shoulders of the President of the United States.

After the Exxon Valdez oil spill in 1989, Congress passed legislation making the President responsible for the management of oil spills.  Specifically, 33 USC § 1321(c)(1)(A) provides:

The President shall, in accordance with the National Contingency Plan and any appropriate Area Contingency Plan, ensure effective and immediate removal of a discharge, and mitigation or prevention of a substantial threat of a discharge, of oil…

Section 1321(c)(1)(B) discusses specifically what the President may do to carry out the responsibility for an oil clean-up, providing in part:

In carrying out this paragraph, the President may–

(i) remove or arrange for the removal of a discharge, and mitigate or prevent a substantial threat of a discharge, at any time;

(ii) direct or monitor all Federal, State, and private actions to remove a discharge; and

(iii) remove and, if necessary, destroy a vessel discharging, or threatening to discharge, by whatever means are available.

Furthermore, if the discharge of oil from an oil spill is determined to be a “substantial threat to public health or welfare,” then the President must take action to either remove it or mitigate it.  Section 1321(c)(2)(A) provides:

If a discharge,  or a substantial threat of a discharge, of oil or a hazardous substance from a vessel, offshore facility, or onshore facility is of such a size or character as to be a substantial threat to the public health or welfare of the United States (including but not limited to fish, shellfish, wildlife, other natural resources, and the public and private beaches and shorelines of the United States), the President shall direct all Federal, State, and private actions to remove the discharge or to mitigate or prevent the threat of the discharge.

In the case of President Obama’s, it is not that he was unresponsive to the situation; he just decided to outsource the responsibility to BP, as he done with most all of the major initiatives of his administration.  Frankly, this is probably not a bad decision for a man who has no executive experience.

As to the media, what can one say?  The left wing bias of our so-called mainstream media is far beyond question. All that anyone has to do is ask themselves “how would the media be covering this situation if it were President Bush, or any other Republican President”?
