Former CBS News president Richard Salant (1961 - 64 and 1966 - 79) explained the major media's role: "Our job is to give people not what they want, but what we decide they ought to have." ...and to this very day most Americans haven't noticed they're being brained washed! ~ N. Hooben

So Lucky To Be An American...But it begs the question, "How much longer do we have?"

As I sat and watched this video after receiving it from Bill Davis this morning, I had to ask myself that question. An in this third hour of the Glenn Beck show today, he brings up something along these lines concerning the Constitution and how far we have gotten away from it, thanks to such wonderful politicians like the Bush administration, our congressional leaders and such. We need to stand up and shout out loud and clear to our elected officials that this will not stand. A good book to read is the 5000 Year Leap, The Forgotten Man, and Liberal Facism. And afterwards pass the books around to friends and family. Open their eyes.
The Forgotten Man...It's on my list for I have read some of the author's work. I believe that she got the name from a 1932 speech by FDR...I've used the quote myself at times...and I believe that I was the first, or at least one of the few, to immediately recognize the line stolen by Obama from that speech, "...from the bottom up and not from the top down..." Of course WE all know that it's just a platitude to please the ignorant masses...the FDR's and Obama's of the world will always direct from the top to keep the masses down!
