Given the fact that we have not been attacked again in over six years, you’ve got to think that somebody somewhere must be doing something right. Am I missing something? Or, can we really equate it to, like the Democrats say, just dumb luck? I think not. Have you ever wondered why it is that the many successes made by those in our intelligence community, who are among those on the front lines and responsible for protecting our country are so rarely if ever heard about from our ever so diligent mainstream news media?  However, those pillars of our elite left wing media, the New York Times, the Washington Post and the L. A. Times, are never shy about and just a little to eager to spin any success as a failure or they simply choose to bury any news of success deep down in the bowels of their paper under some innocuous headline so that the likelihood of it even being read is pretty remote. Worse yet, these "news"papers continue to perpetuate the myth that nothing has really changed since 9/11, that we’re really no safer than we were on 9/10. They insist that our intelligence agencies still do not talk to on another, and worse still operate like a bunch of incompetent boobs!

Never the least bit hesitant about revealing or downplaying the usefulness of the most highly effective methods used by the government agencies involved, some of which require years and millions of dollars to develop, to protect us by locating and tracking terrorists, there must always be some down side to those investigative tools. Those in the media love to paint these tools as being dangerous, as nothing more than another way for the government to spy on average everyday Americans. It’s always about how the government is looking for ways to take away our right to privacy. It seems that every time the government comes up with something that really works, the media portrays it as some horrible abuse of power, while at the same time informing the terrorists of what it is our government is doing. The result being that they, the terrorists, end up doing an end run around what we’re trying to do. Terrorists read American newspapers and watch CNN too!

Another sad commentary on how Democrats and the media fail to comprehend this war involves all of the negative spin and outright falsehoods (lies) put out via our wonderful media that is usually echoed by politicians, most often on the Democrat side, who really should know better. For political expediency they say one thing in front of the cameras, while privately they acknowledge the progress generated by the hard work of those working the long hours required to keep us safe. Talk about hypocritical. And lets face it, not real morale builders for all those hard working folks either!

In their constant attempts to undermine the war on terror the media is never shy about using methods eerily reminiscent of the propaganda and censorship techniques used by the old Soviet Union to keep the public uninformed. Having said that, it cannot be overstated that if we do not win the war being waged by the media against our own government, we stand absolutely no chance of winning the war against the terrorists. The Democrat Party has come to rely heavily on the media to keep the public misinformed so they can deny access to the tools needed by the FBI and CIA to effectively combat terrorism. You can’t help but wonder whose side the Democrats are on and why. But then...maybe not. Democrats want, no actually they crave absolute power, and at any cost. And, if it means endangering the rest of us, so be it. But it’s going to require voters to ask themselves some very serious questions, "Do I really want all the government goodies promised by the Democrats, or a country where it’s safe for my kids to grow up?" With the Democrats in power, you might as well forget about option number two.

Legitimate criticism should be both expected and welcomed by those doing the fighting. But our government is not the enemy here. It’s the Islamic, murdering nut jobs that are expending so much energy trying to kill us that are the enemy. The government is going to need a certain degree of flexibility to fight our enemies effectively. People seem to willingly permit the media to convince them that, among other things; the FBI as well as other governmental agencies are eroding privacy rights during terrorism investigations. Those in the media have in the past and continue today to exaggerate, as only they can, the feelings of many Americans that the country is on the wrong track. They also do their best to re-enforce suspicions regarding the trustworthiness of our government. Quite frankly, I’m scratching my head over what Americans have to complain about. Comparatively speaking in what country would any of us rather live? We’ve become a nation of paranoid whiners who have allowed the media to convince us that our government is out to get us. GET A GRIP FOLKS! In this instance the government, at least the Executive Branch, are the good guys.
