Apparently, at least according to a recently
released Fox News poll, it’s now that nearly half of the country has come to
believe that it’s the state-controlled news media who poses an equal or greater
threat to the nation than do all of those supposed white supremacists said to
be among us. The poll found that 47
percent of registered voters think white supremacists are a greater threat
while 40 percent think the news media is, and nine percent believe both are
equal threats. I mean, let’s face it,
when it comes to spreading a little hate and discontent there are few groups,
or individuals, who can hold a candle to those in our state-controlled media
complex. These purveyors of what has now
become known as “fake news”, aka pure propaganda, have earned the level of
contempt a rather sizable portion of the American public now held them. And they seem not to be bothered by it in the
least since they show no sign of letting up on their incendiary rhetoric.
And I know that it goes without saying, but there
seems to have been a rather significant split in how Republican and Democrat
voters chose to answer the question of who represents the greater threat to our
republic. It was 76 percent of Democrat
respondents who said that white supremacists are the greater threat, while 69
percent of Republicans pointed the finger squarely at the press. Voters were also asked whether they think
President Trump is tougher on the press or white supremacists, and across all
demographics people agreed the president is harder on the news media. And why might that be? How about the fact that it’s nearly 24/7/365
that those in the media are doing their best to foment all manner of hatred and
distrust of this president. Rarely do
you ever hear about bona fide white supremacists, more often than not it’s
Democrats and their allies in the media making false, and rather incendiary,
accusations about people they simply don’t like.
This particular poll came on the heels of President
Trump’s much maligned, yet perfectly acceptable, response to violence
surrounding a white nationalist rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, in which he
blamed both the protesters and counter-protesters for the resulting chaos.
Trump also held a rally in Arizona last week in which he ferociously attacked
the press. As for Trump’s response to
Charlottesville, 56 percent of voters disapproved of Trump’s response and 52
percent of voters blamed white supremacists for the violence. Notably, however, a majority of voters, 61
percent, think that Confederate statues and monuments should stay up. While the poll found that voters are
generally supportive of how the president is handling the economy and
terrorism, there was one rather negative finding for Trump. Fifty-six percent of voters believe Trump is
tearing the country apart, while 33 percent say he is bringing it
together. I guess I would be among the
33 percent.
Trump has repeatedly called for national unity but
it just hasn’t been enough to satisfy Democrats or their many friends in the
state-controlled media. It was following
his electoral victory in November that he said, “To all Republicans and
Democrats and independents across this nation, I say it is time for us to come
together as one united people.” But as
is usually the case when it comes to this president, no matter what it is that
he may say, it never seems to go quite far enough to satisfy those in the media
nor in the Democrat Party. As for
support of the president’s policies, the Fox News poll had one particularly
interesting finding. Support for
building a southern border wall was said to have fallen from 41 percent in
favor in September 2016 to 39 percent in support in August 2017. The poll, however, found that 45 percent of
voters would support Trump following through on his threat to shut down the
government in order to pressure lawmakers to fund a border wall.
And again I think it worth mentioning that after the
polling debacle which we were all witness to in the lead up to the last
election, how is it that any of us can take seriously ANY poll taken by ANYONE
and on ANY topic? If all, or most, of
those polls had things so wrong, what makes this poll, or any other, worth the
paper that it’s written on? Personally,
it’s these days that I don’t put much stock in ANY poll. I simply assume that it’s nothing more than a
bunch of BS put together by someone who is desperate to alter, in some way,
public opinion. I mean, I certainly know
how I feel toward the media, as well as the president, but I don’t believe in
some poll to tell me how others of my fellow Americans may feel. Those involved in today’s state-controlled
media complex are far more interested in spreading all manner of innuendo, rumor,
half-truth or outright lie than they are in actually presenting to the American
people ‘news and information’ that is in any way, useful.
The media, together with most on the left, and even
a few on the right, seem to intent upon describing anyone who chooses to stand
up for whites as a white supremacist, while only a very few actually are. Our labeling for convenience purposes has
become out of control. The Antifa thugs
are not fighting against fascism, what they’re fighting against is
conservatism. But they don’t call
themselves ‘Anticon’ because that doesn't quite have the same ring to it. Nationwide, according to the ADL, there are
about an estimated 3,000 Klan members and unaffiliated people who
"identify with Klan ideology."
Membership, though, remains spread across dozens of groups. The largest Klan groups reportedly don't have
more than 50 to 100 active members, and most have fewer than 25. Relative to the U.S. population, it's
microscopic and yet somehow it’s those on the left who see such groups as
representing the graveest threat we face as a nation. It’s all really quite bizarre.
So while you couldn't find enough Klan members to
fill a small high school gym, those in our state-controlled media continue to
work very hard in their effort to convince the American people that it’s such a
group that poses the greatest threat to them and to the very survival of our
Republic. But instead, I would argue,
it’s all much ado about nothing, because despite what those in the media would
have us all believe, not everyone on your block belongs to such a racist
club. Our various media organizations
are literally chock-full of liars, and all of the very worst kind. And our state-controlled media has now made
it their mission in life to attack President Trump, as well as his supporters,
and to hide news that is in any way contrary to their agenda or the narrative
they wish to advance. And because of
their open acknowledgement and attempted justification of their actions how is
it that we can have any trust in the media knowing just how dangerous their
actions can be.
Personally, as far as I’m concerned, all of this
"white supremacist" crap is really nothing more than yet another
straw man created by the left, with their many allies in the state-controlled
media doing all that they can to breathe all manner of life into it. And if we were to use the same logic used by
liberals, if a murderer were to wear brown shoes, they would feel justified in
calling all brown shoe manufacturers ‘supporters of murder.’ We have a fringe group of idiotic
"Nazis" running around, comprised of what is nothing more than a
handful of idiots and those in our state-controlled media complex are now
acting in concert with the majority of those on the left to turn it into
"All Trump supporters are Nazi's and white supremacists". It's utter BS and leftwing concocted
propaganda, aka “fake news.” It would be
safe to say that the state-controlled media has nearly single-handedly created
this monster called "Antifa" and then works to defend its dishonest
and violent tactics.
But I am curious, to what degree is it that all of
these so-called white supremacists, have attacked our right to Free Speech, at
least when compared to those who identify themselves as members of these
‘Antifa’ groups? And have the white
supremacists advocated killing our police, like ‘Black Lives Matter’ has? Or have the white supremacists attacked our
‘free market economy like ‘Occupy Wall Street’ has? Just sayin’.
And has it been white supremacists who have attacked those of us who
voted for Trump or our electoral system the way the media and those in the
Washington ‘Establishment’ have? As bad
as they are they don't hold a candle to the thugs I've mentioned. Sadly you can't trust those in the media
today as far as you can throw them, they were taken over years ago by
socialists and communists with deep pockets and a plan. The same people have also ruined our
education system and turned the Democrat Party into a left-leaning socialist
garbage spewing machine.
But seriously folks, forget about all of the white
supremacists. They've been lurking in
the shadows since before the Civil War and the republic has managed to survive
just fine. They're as much of a threat as a fly. The real threat is the unholy alliance
between the scum-sucking media and the blood sucking left. A poll that attempts to paint white
supremacists as a threat while ignoring the vile left is yet another dishonest
attempt by the left to mainstream their toxic ideas. Personally, I'd say the media is far more
dangerous than are the white supremacists.
Our media today is composed primarily of communists and socialists, both
adherents of Marxism, a philosophy that has been responsible for the murder of
tens of millions more people than the Nazis, and the oppression of literally
billions, in the 20th century. The media
licks the boots of the worst monsters in human history, ones that make Nero,
Caligula, Stalin, and others seem nice and compassionate by comparison.
And let’s not forget how it was that our former
Community Agitator-In-Chief insisted upon viewing those of us who are in favor
of a smaller, less intrusive federal government, one which operates well within
the confines of the U.S. Constitution, who are Christians and who quite
possibly owned guns, as being more of a ‘threat’ to America than Radical
Islamic Terrorism!! And ya know, in all
my years I’ve never met a white supremacist and I’ve been in this world now for
over 65 years and am someone who was raised out in the country around a good
number of rednecks. So I’m thinking they
must have to be about as rare as them Unicorns.
I've been surrounded by white folks my entire life and never once have I
had any one of them ever tell me that he, or she, was a white supremacist. In fact there wasn’t but one black guy in my
high school of 1000 students, and oddly enough I don’t remember any of those
other 999 students ever causing him a lick of grief.
The sad fact is that it’s today’s Democrat Party
that still runs the ‘plantation’, and with help from its many black overseers
within the black community, as well as their friends in the media, they have
remained fairly successful in keeping the blacks in this country on that
plantation by offering up a few freebies.
Blacks seem drawn to freebies in much the same manner that crows are
drawn to shiny objects. And you would
think the fact that not a single Democrat run city is a success story would be
sufficient to convince anyone, especially blacks, that voting Democrat results in
nothing but misery for those who do so.
And yet blacks have been convinced to think that it's President Trump,
and his 62,000,000 plus voters, who are all white supremacists and proud
members of the Klan. I find it odd that
they can be so easily convinced that other minorities who voted for Trump are
racist against their own, yet they refuse to see it in their own politicians.
