Empirical evidence the media is nothing more than a pro-Democrat propaganda machine

Why does this not spark outrage across the country and why does it not lead to an angry response from Republicans?

Big Journalism; MSM Reporters Caught on Open Mic Planning Attack on Romney  Audio of the conversation here.  "The Right Scoop reports that unnamed mainstream media journalists were caught on a live mic coordinating hostile questions for Republican presidential contender Mitt Romney before his press conference today on the U.S. embassy attacks. Their goal was to make sure that no question would address the substance of the crisis but instead put Romney on the defensive about made-up mistakes in his criticism of President Obama."
...."Their goal was to make sure that no question would address the substance of the crisis but instead put Romney on the defensive about made-up mistakes in his criticism of President Obama. 
"In the event, six out of the seven questions were almost exactly the same, all questioning Romney for his supposed mistake. (Romney handled the questions very well.)"
..".The mainstream media has often shown appalling bias in favor of President Obama, but this is a new low. In 2004, Democratic nominee Sen. John Kerry blasted President George W. Bush on the day several U.S. troops were killed--and the media showed little outrage, much less a determination to attack the opposition."

Hot Air; Press caught on open mic coordinating Egypt/Libya questions for Romney?
"Someone sent Jake Tapper the link to the audio and asked him if this is business as usual. His reply:"...

Better Than They Are

Canada Free Press  "They kill us and we 
apologize to them. They kill us and we spend a fortune developing drones that will be able to take out the leader who ordered the attack with as little collateral damage. And then when the natives dig up the daughters they murdered last week and the brother-in-law they beat to death last month in a clan feud, and dump them on the smoking vehicle, and the local stringers who have arrangements with Al Qaeda and the Taliban snap away at the wreckage, we will feel bad because after all the billions we spent developing and deploying a weapon meant to kill as few people as possible—there are the bodies that prove we are terrible people."

Alan Caruba: Apologizing to Our Enemies/ Disrespecting our friends

Warning Signs "Islam is at war with America and the West. Iran has covertly been waging this war. And the Obama administration’s response has been to attack our only true ally in the Middle East, Israel, openly withdrawing from support for a nation that, along with ours, is threatened by Iran.
"We must stop apologizing to our enemies and begin to punish them before they once again bring their war to our shores."

Roger L Simon; The Democratic Party and a Second Holocaust  "Obama, after all, is the man who had no discernible feeling for the brave democracy demonstrators in Tehran, abjuring them in favor of self-serving (and ultimately useless) dialogue with Ahmadinejad. The way Obama ignored the Iranian Green Movement is the most morally and emotionally disconnected act by an American president in my lifetime. Why should Netanyahu trust a man like that?

"Which leads me to the incendiary part of this article.
"I address it to my fellow Jews who are currently in the Democratic Party or supporting it.
"How do you sleep?"

One more 9-11 to remember

Infidel Bloggers
;  A Problem With State Department Security?   "How did a suicide bomber find out where the American consulate vehicle would be at the time? Was he tipped off by security — the same way a mob of violent fanatics reportedly discovered the location of the U.S. ambassador to Libya?
"Either these are just unfortunate coincidences of timing, or they point to a more fundamental problem with State Department security. The department is entrusted to keep American officials safe abroad, and the past two weeks do not engender confidence."
10 Photos From The Destroyed U.S. Consulate In Libya  Will Rosie O'Donnell call this a US government plot?

"The Offensive, Laughably Bad Movie That Led To Four People Dying"  Of course, 9-11 had absolutely nothing to do with it. Were these the same guys that we supported in their fight against Qaddafi?

Dead Ambassador dragged through streets, MSM furious at Romney criticism of Obama   "If there ever were a doubt, no matter how small, that the mainstream media is deeply in bed with the Obama campaign, the reaction to the killing of the U.S. Ambassador to Libya and several other Americans should put such doubt to rest.
"Beginning early this morning, when news was just breaking, the left-blogosphere and mainstream media, led by MSNBC, has attempted to shift the focus from the Obama administration’s failure to protect our embassies and for its apologies (both before and after the attack on the Cairo Embassy) to whether Mitt Romney was wrong to criticize Obama last night."
The left-wing blog, Memeorandum quotes NBC's statement: "Romney issues over-the-top attack on embassy attacks."  Naturally, NBC used this photo of Romney, at left:

" “It’s about to explode,” Graham reiterated. “The American disengagement, lack of leadership, and leading from behind is leading to uncertainty and doubt on all fronts. ... There is no substitute for leadership by the United States and every group within the region is uncertain about who we are and what we believe.” "
"Romney’s statement was in response to Cairo, not the murders of the four Americans. Romney said the administration’s response from the Cairo Embassy appeared to sympathize with attackers and it sent “mixed signals to the world.”
“It’s disgraceful that the Obama administration’s first response was not to condemn attacks on our diplomatic missions, but to sympathize with those who waged the attacks,” Romney said.
"Romney is absolutely correct."  (Emphases in the original.)

; Has Romney Erred on Obama Criticism?  "The willingness of Secretary of State Clinton to condemn a foolish independent film critical of Islam that is supposedly the reason why Americans are being attacked, before speaking of the outrage against U.S. facilities and personnel, was similarly ill-considered and deserved Romney’s riposte. While the president’s statement today was better, Romney still needs to point out that the administration’s desire to appease and conciliate the Muslim Brotherhood government of Egypt while refusing to meet the prime minister of Israel or to set red lines on Iran is the product of a mindset that has ill served America’s best interests."
"Stevens’ reports back to the US government are believed to have encouraged the American support of the rebel council, formally carried out in July 2011 by Obama administration."
Rest in Peace, Mr. Ambassador.


U.S. EMBASSY: PROTECT 'FEELINGS' OF MUSLIMS   
"The U.S. embassy redefines and limits freedom of speech to that speech which others, and, explicitly Muslims, do not find offensive: The embassy asserts that to “hurt the religious beliefs of others” is to “abuse the universal right of free speech.” "

Netanyahu To Obama: ‘Wait For What? Wait Until When?’

CBS Local Media   “The world tells Israel, `Wait. There’s still time,’” Netanyahu said Tuesday, according to The Associated Press. “And I say: `Wait for what? Wait until when?’ Those in the international community who refuse to put red lines before Iran don’t have a moral right to place a red light before Israel.”

Atheists vs. the 9/11 Cross

National Review Online  

"The American Atheists organization has sued the National September 11 Memorial and Museum over the installation of the “9/11 cross” in the museum. The organization’s president, David Silverman, insists that it will not “allow this travesty to occur in our country.” "
...".If the American Atheists’ lawsuit prevailed, it would by implication require the removal of every religious object from every museum in America. This would be a drastic rewriting of history. Religion — as much as the American Atheists despise it — is a part of our national heritage."

9-11 Reading list

This post is one of the Tunnel Wall's most accessed, especially at this time. But here is the new post from 2014:  World reaction to 9/11 .  Mr. Obama should be aware of how the Brits stuck by us as evidenced by what they did on Sept 12th at the Buckingham Palace changing of the guard, shown in here. TD

Remember the 9/11 Jihad Terror Attacks,  "Theodore Roosevelt offered this historical perspective in 1916 on the consequences for Western civilization of succeeding, or failing to repel jihad conquerors:"....
"Does twenty-first-century America possess Whittaker Chambers's moral compass and fortitude to combat the modern scourge of ancient Islamic totalitarianism?"


Today is Sept. 11—the 11th anniversary of the second-greatest intelligence failure in American history   "U.S. intelligence officers took seriously their responsibility to prevent a subsequent attack by every legal means at their disposal, and so far they've succeeded. As thanks, they've been accused of being a caste of 21st century Torquemadas by much of the media, and put in legal jeopardy by their own Justice Department."  (i.e. Democrats)
The NY Times blames President Bush.Muslim clerics and academics across the Arab world blame Israel, US Jews

Reaction in the Muslim world



"When to let up?  When all of the facets of the religion of Islam step forward to strongly condemn Islamic extremism and the Muslim penchant for killing people who don’t worship as they do.  Sorry – but I have a hard time mustering up any real respect for a religion that will condone stoning a woman to death because she was raped, or forbidding women from getting an education."

Debunking the conspiracy theories using Scientific Simulations "Researchers at Purdue University created a simulation that uses scientific principles to show what happened when a commercial airliner crashed into the World Trade Center’s North Tower."

While saying she didn’t know what to believe about the U.S. government’s involvement in the attacks of Sept. 11, she said, “I do believe that it’s the first time in history that fire has ever melted steel. I do believe that it defies physics that World Trade Center tower 7—building 7, which collapsed in on itself—it is impossible for a building to fall the way it fell without explosives being involved. World Trade Center 7. World Trade [Center] 1 and 2 got hit by planes—7, miraculously, the first time in history, steel was melted by fire. It is physically impossible.”

Never Forget : 9 11 essay

Trying to identify the falling man
"The people who jumped from the World Trade Center that morning were the only visible fatalities in the day that claimed thousands."

Then-Senator Obama blames 9-11 on "a climate of poverty and ignorance, helplessness and despair."

A 9-11 tribute from Poland
On September 11th,2001 our hearts stopped petrified with horror - on that day we were all New Yorkers.  On the 1st anniversary of the terrorist attack on WTC - inhabitants of Gdynia.

"To build a mosque near the World Trade Center site is legal, of course, but is anti-historical, act of willful denial of the facts and their symbolic significance."

Bob Woodward: The Price of Politics

Amazon
The Washington Post reviews the book:  "Bob Woodward’s latest book, “The Price of Politics,” explains how we got this close to the brink. The fiscal cliff, as Woodward reminds us, is the Son of the Debt-Ceiling Debacle, an abomination born of the extended, fevered and largely fruitless negotiations between the Obama White House and congressional leaders during the summer of 2011."
...."But Woodward reserves his most damning indictment for Obama, whom he sees as well meaning but often stumbling, and cocky and remote — a cold fish with a high hand who needlessly alienates potential “friends.” "

Reading list on the Democrat convention

Neal Boortz says, Y'all Need to Cheer Me Up "But I did try to read [Obama's] speech.  It was agonizing.  Excuses and promises.  Nothing more.  Golly, this has been hard, but I promise to do better, though I can’t tell you how that’s going to happen.  
"It didn’t take but about 10 paragraphs of Obama’s speech before the glaring hypocrisy started to shine through."... 

Democratic platform abandons pro-Israel positions on borders, refugees, Hamas "The Democratic convention in Charlotte, N.C., adopted a platform that turns its back on three Israeli existential imperatives - on dealing with Palestinian terrorism, on achieving secure and recognized borders, and on preventing a flood of Palestinians from swamping the Jewish state."
This is not Harry Truman's Democrat Party.

Ten Things I Learned From the Democrat Convention  "A lot of breath was expended at the DNC appealing to young people, my generation, the Millennials -- the same lamentable group about to inherit more than $200 trillion in total unpaid debts. No self-respecting young person can vote for a party that stubbornly, categorically refuses to acknowledge the coming tidal wave.
"But, of course, many of them will. They always do."

Requiring picture identification at the polls was described as similar to beating up blacks trying to vote 50 years ago."

(Updated) For Parents to Teach Their Children That God Created the Earth Is Tantamount to Child Abuse

The American Culture;   "Bill Nye (a.k.a. PBS‘s “the Science Guy”) is enjoying a resurgence in popularity, this time on the Internet, with his YouTube video in which he all but calls parents (“grownups”) ignoramuses for teaching their children anything but evolution:"

Lets see if Mr. Nye explains how evolution can design a microscopic motor complete with bearings, rotor and stator 
"But the bottom line is that modern Darwinian theory -- as classically understood -- has come no where close to explaining the origin of this remarkably complex and sophisticated motor engine. " 
Hat tip to Tom Wright; Richardson, Texas, who is the source of the graphic illustrations below that compare the electric motor with the flagellum that propels "simple" bacteria. 

The electric motor is the product of thousands of years of accumulated human knowledge; the flagellum is the product of knowledge and skill that was present at creation.
I suppose my saying all this could be a felony before long. The Tunnel Dweller.


Man-made electric motor:

Motor - that was A) installed at creation or B) just evolved by itself - that propels bacteria:
Thank you to Jon Hodges of Richardson,TX. for sending this material used by Tom Wright.

Are Americans too ignorant to live in this country?

Dems Want To Ban Corporate Profits?  "I am coming to the conclusion that the majority of Americans are too damned ignorant to live in a free country.  Just watch this video and you'll understand why.  Go ahead .. click on it!  We've been playing around with it on the show today."

This Mark Steyn column is highly related, regrettably; A Nation of Sandra Flukes  "For one thing, it’s a striking feature of the Age of Perfected Liberalism that modern liberals talk about sex 24/7 while simultaneously giving off the persistent whiff that the whole thing’s a bit of a chore. Hence, the need for government subsidy. And, in fairness to Miss Montez, she used sex to argue for liberalized government, whereas Miss Fluke uses liberalism to argue for sexualized government."
