Another of the ways our education system and media are damaging America today.

Activists Taking Action: Unified Patriots

Scary how similar the story lines are, but certainly worth taking note of. It is all in the language, words matter, and how they insidiously creep into the public’s consciousness. This is what the Leftist Democrats have been feeding into the American meme for decades and how they marginalize those that would stand up to them. Now they are trying to marginalize a huge segment of the population. Two excellent points you made:

Don’t let perfect be the enemy of non-marxist.
Support Christine O’Donnell any way you can, if only with your silence.

Amen.

Coons would be Chavez, if he had the chance.

Thanks for sharing this story, Uma. I know virtually nothing about the history of Venezuela, so this is fascinating. You hit me particularly hard with your point, “Support Christine O’Donnell any way you can, if only with your silence.”

You see, I wrote a piece about last week’s Coons/O’Donnell debate. It’s a bit snarky, because I like the idea of defusing the arguments about her flakiness with humor. The post is meant to look at how silly and inappropriate the media have been and how we are facing significant constitutional problems that will take a lot of hard work to undo. Even though I imagine that I’d disagree with Ms. O’Donnell about things like evolution and various social (wedge-type) issues, I hope that she is elected, because I think that things like that are pretty irrelevant in the scheme of things, and she would stand up for limited government and proper constitutional principles. I’m not sure that this comes through, as a it’s framed with quite a few witchcraft jokes. The intention is to mock the coverage, but I’m not sure that it comes across that way.

At any rate, my blog doesn’t get much traffic, so it’s not likely to influence as much as one voter, but here’s a link to my piece, if you’d like to read it:

Great diary, great perspective

Sarah Palin and Obama, except that she was not at the top of the ticket.

Unfortunately, too many people who comment on RS seem to have a vested interest in seeing her fail.

5!

You laid out the stark choice that is in front of the people of Delaware, and the rest of us as well. Seeing what Venezuela has become under the iron boot of Chavez should be enough to make a lot of folks reconsider their preference for a RINO over a conservative.

Unfortunately, there are too many folks, even here, who are too damned proud of themselves and their intellect to make that distinction. Let’s hope they are disappointed by the morning of November 3rd. You have played a great part in moving us in that direction! Thank you for your diary.
