Media Bias. Still Not Sure?

Nov 3

Posted by Kyle Griesinger in Politics, Traditional Values | 1,272 Comments

Christine O’Donnell purchased 30 minutes of air time on local Delaware television for a documentary style campaign ad. it was to air at 10am and 3pm Nov.1 and Nov.2. However it did not air on Nov. 1. When asked about te incident the station clam “They forgot to play the ad.” O’donnell was more than a little skeptical of this pathetic excuse.

I am not aware if the ad aired on election day. this only proves the fact that there is indeed bias in the mainstream media.

“We forgot to play the ad.” Give me a break you a professional TV station you don’t just forget to air a program. Oh and one more there has been practically no coverage of this in the national media. The same national media who so eagerly covered the allegations the O’Donnell was a witch and that she had an affair.

Fight the Good Fight!

Oct 31

As a young politically active woman, political apathy is something that is very disconcerting to me.

I’ve been involved in New York grassroots political activism for two years now. And it is GRUNT work. It’s not easy putting yourself out there hours at end, walking door to door to people’s houses, declaring to the world what your political beliefs are and then bracing for whatever may come your way. I’ve encountered some supporters …some opponents (die hard New York Democrats who would rather sell their soul then vote outside of party line) and of course, I’ve come in contact with those who are completely disgusted and frustrated with politics regardless of party. I think anyone who has volunteered at any campaign know exactly what I’m talking about. Read the rest of this entry »

A Date on a Calendar

Sep 11

Posted by jessicablomgren in International Affairs, Patriotism | 1,148 Comments

September 11th, 2001

As a date on a calendar, it was no more special than any other day. It was still 24 hours long, the sun came up, and it went down. Yet…time stood still. At (approximately) 8:46 AM in New York, the country’s heart stopped as we watched as a plane flew into the World Trade Center’s northern tower, soon followed by another plane in the south tower. Then a plane flew into the Pentagon, and a fourth plane was crashed in the Pennsylvania earth by the brave men who took control back from the terrorists. Read the rest of this entry »

We Will Never Forget!

Sep 11

Exactly 9 years ago we were attacked on our own soil, the likes of which had been seen since December 7, 1941. On September 11, 2001 thousands of innocent americans where killed by radical Islamic terrorist, not just those inside the buildings but the brave public servants who rushed into the burning buildings to save those who could be saved. Today, just 9 years later it seems as though many Americans have forgotten how it felt on that dark day. Read the rest of this entry »

“A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.”  One sentence has spurred massive and expansive debate across the country and the decades.  Those that understand and cherish individual freedom have a natural and basic understanding of the plain language used by our founders here.  They can rely on the clearly documented history, ideas and publications of our founders to gain insight as to the purpose of this amendment as intended by our founders.

What Made Ronald Reagan The “Great Communicator.”

Sep 9

Posted by Kyle Griesinger in Other | 1,839 Comments

The Great Communicator.
Ronald Reagan was able articulate his ideas better than anyone else of his time. He was indisputably one of the best speakers God has ever blessed this earth with. He was able to spread an idea through the entire country in a matter of months the idea of American exceptionalism and that capitalism is the best economic philosophy we have. He could move people with his speeches and make them understand complex problems in simple terms. So what made him the “great communicator”? Read the rest of this entry »

Tweet

This week the President came out and gave what seemed to many to be an endorsement of the ground zero mosque, saying that the matter was about rights and freedoms. This outraged many americans, when confronted the president said he was not and would not comment on the wisdom of the matter. My question: why not? Read the rest of this entry »
