EASY STEPS TO TAKING BACK YOUR GOVERNMENT NOW

                              PART ONE: Going beyond the Radio Talk Shows

         We have the luxury in our offices of being able to listen to the major radio talk shows. Most people don’t, and therein lies a great lesson.
         The major media news outlets, NBC, CBS, ABC, CNN, have lost over half their audiences in the past twenty years. Where these audiences have gone is to local news and cable. But not just cable news, like Fox News, but also to old Leave it to Beaver re-runs. Millions have tuned out national news altogether. Whatever the national news media is selling, the common man obviously isn’t buying, leaving the Big Four with a smaller, but more dedicated cadre of liberal-to-left wing news junkies.
         Free market analysts have been scratching their heads for years, especially with the success at Fox, why at least one or two haven’t broken ranks and tried to get some of that audience back. As Hollywood found out about God, Truth also sells. But the Big Four’s current product reflects that they know this core audience, and as long as their advertisers and owners allow this type of news, they’ll keep distributing it. Me or anyone else calling them biased doesn’t matter. As with bureaucrats and politicians, you should never get mad at dogs for being dogs (Moses Sands). But that does not mean there aren’t ways to deal with them.
      Where millions have gone, of course, is to what they call the alternative media, both talk radio (Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Glenn Beck, and others), which is news plus opinion/analysis, and the internet. The conservative view of politics owns the talk radio format, as liberalism not only can’t come up with a competitive voice, it can’t in the more absolute scientific sense of the term. There’s nothing it has to say that radio listeners want to hear, anymore than anyone wanted to listen to those daily radio broadcasts the Soviets piped into every kitchen in Russia. Liberalism really doesn’t care about getting its message out anymore than it already does. It simply wants to shut up any other voices out there, just as it already has on college campuses.
      At this writing talk radio is the lone hold-out, since thanks to the likes of George Soros, the internet, where no standards for truth exist at all, and corporate bosses, the bottom line and advertisers have no say about content, the few truth-telling outlets and blogs, e.g, The Drudge Report, have been entirely swamped by insipidity.
      But the major problems with talk radio are three, so take note: Even as network news has plummeted, talk radio reaches only a fraction of the ears the Big Four do. Second, It can’t grow much larger, for at any given time, not that many people can listen to talk radio than already do, due to their jobs. Only Hannity is aired after work hours in most markets. Worse, this disability affects (in our view) those who most need to be revitalized about the Constitution, their liberty and sinking condition of both. This is the common man and woman, most of who are watching soaps, or listening to FM rock, classic rock and country. While truckers may love Rush, he might be stunned to learn how many bank employees, factory workers at GM, and store clerks have never heard his voice, not even once. And forget the younger set, music still out-polls talk radio by a significant margin. Third, the titans of talk radio have become so wealthy in this niche economy they created they really don’t seem too eager to branch out into involving themselves with still other alternative projects that might help ignite the new restoration.
      They are in a rut of sorts, as we all know the problem(s) but knowledge alone is neither action not solution.

        This is our sole complaint with talk radio, for when, as has been the case in growing numbers, from 2006 forward, and in cacophonous monotony since the early primaries and the nomination of McCain (who we clearly don’t like very much), “OK, we get it. So what can we do about it? Now!”, their answers all remind me of Jackie Gleason’s famous line, “Hommina, hommina, hommina.” Wait till 2010, or 2012. It took a Carter to give us a Reagan (forgetting that it took a Nixon to give us a Carter).

        On this site I’ve cautioned against the notion that nothing can be done this election cycle. Moreover, we believe that the bullet we dodged in 1992, when a Democrat in the White House joined up with a sizeable majority of his party in Congress, may be full metal jacket in 2009. It was the Clintons’ own narcissism and avarice, and a flair for petty potentatism, that allowed us to regain Congress in 1994. They could have done much damage, but didn’t.
        But what has changed is that true believers, not fat cat Democrats, now run both the Party and Congress, and if a like-minded true believer becomes President, much of the damage they can do in 2009-2010, may be irreparable. Remember the old threat a radical environmental lawyer told me in 1971…once we get power we will make it illegal for anyone else to get power using the same tools…in which case, instead of looking for a Reagan, we may have to be looking for a Pinochet. Allende wrote the textbook on what I’d just as soon prevent, if possible.
        There is much that can be done now, especially in making politicians…all of them, at every level, including Reid and Pelosi, in their own states and districts, very afraid…with a fear that even high powered money and donors cannot dampen. So read Part II. 
        One of the things we do here is study how things work inside a culture. Recalling that only about 25% of the Americans started the fight against the English, we know that it doesn’t require a majority commitment by the people to overthrow tyranny. We believe that when Good meets Evil head-on, with an equal force, Evil always abandons the field. This is an article of faith that goes all the way back to Satan’s envy and hatred of God. If he were equal to or stronger than God he would have cast God out, instead of the other way around.
       We also know that most people, when there is a fight brewing, will sidle off to the side until they see who looks like he’s winning, then cast their lot with him. That’s why while only 25% started the Revolution, more like 75% finished it. Except for the most craven society, people naturally understand Good and Evil, with or without the help of the Constitution and Bible, and will chose Good once the path is laid open to them as to how they can best do it.
       We earlier asked the talk show titans to sit down with each other and draft a “95 theses” platform (probably not more than 20-25 are actually required) that every citizen can hang on the courthouse door of every burg, city, and capital in America. A flag and fight song wouldn’t hurt.

      We believe it is actually easy, as Moses Sands once said, to remove George Soros from the place he is in now and for only a fraction of what he spent getting there.
