AT&T U-verse Campaign to get The Blaze Channel

Glenn Beck's The Blaze is coming to cable around the country. It is an entire television channel with news, entertainment and opinion programs. Now is our chance to reach out to AT&T and get the channel added to the line up.

You might recall that comments by Roger Ailes had some groups boycotting FOX News for "turning left."  Extensive coverage of this boycott is available at Benghazi-Truth. This is not my position, but at the moment FOX News is the lone voice in the wilderness on many important issues. It is not wise for us free people to rely upon a single media outlet.

Studies have shown that people believe what they hear from three sources. FOX News as the sole dissenting voice can help people question what they are being told, but it alone cannot convince people of the truth.

Glenn Beck has been a relentless truth teller. Having an additional trusted source of information is important in today's biased media landscape. Moreover, Glenn Beck and his producers have been good to new media. At times, topics which have been covered by this blog and The San Diego Local Order of Bloggers have also been covered by Glenn Beck and his staff.

I have personally met Glenn Beck and he has my full support in this endeavor.  Between FOX News, The Blaze and new media; we just might be able to change hearts and minds.

Please complete this form at the AT&T website and choose BLAZE under General Interests.

Additionally, show support for The Blaze on AT&T's Facebook page.

This is my unsolicited, unpaid and honest opinion.

Post Election Thought

Since the reelection of President Barack Obama gold prices have begun to rise and the Dow Jones Industrial Average has fallen below 13,000. This reflects the prospects for the country moving forward, at least in the minds of business leaders. So how did President Obama win?

I turned over some research to my friends at GulagBound.com on the Virginia military vote. Look for this article in the days to come. However, I want to mention a more apparent trend in the election.

Conservative men did not show up to vote, at least in California.

It is my assumption that many conservatives have left California for greener pastures in Texas. Additionally Republican Mother over at Left Coast Rebel reports that Ron Paul supporters refused to vote for Mitt Romney after the Republican Convention.

All these factors led to Ron Paul supporters taking the solemn "I'll never vote for Romney" oath. There was no blood involved, it was more of an internet pinky pledge.But after being maligned as potheads for pointing out that the War on Drugs is leading to a police state that will consume us all, all of liberty voters said, ya know what? Knock yourselves out-without us! CHEATERS NEVER WIN!

Additionally, Gov. Gary Johnson received 1.1 million votes, representing the Highest Vote Total Ever for Libertarian for President.

Both libertarians and Ron Paul supporters tend to be male. This may account for some of the lower turn out from conservative men.

The Shirley Sherrod Conservative Trap Revealed by Glenn Beck

BACKGROUND
ASSOCIATED PRESS - Shirley Sherrod, who until Tuesday was USDA's director of rural development in Georgia, said she was on the road Monday when Agriculture Deputy Undersecretary Cheryl Cook called her and told her the White House wanted her to resign.

"They called me twice," Sherrod said. "The last time, they asked me to pull over the side of the road and submit my resignation on my BlackBerry, and that's what I did."

Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack issued a statement saying his agency has no tolerance for discrimination.

The controversy began Monday when the conservative website BigGovernment.com posted a two-minute, 38-second video of Sherrod's remarks to a local NAACP banquet. She said the video was selectively edited and misleading, while the white farm family she was accused of discriminating against came forward on Tuesday to praise the help she gave them.


THE CONSERVATIVE TRAP
The NAACP's leaked video fails to play the proper context of Mrs. Sherrod's statements. She continues on in the unleaked portion of the tape to use her story as reason that "race is not the issue," "I learned my lesson," and "the real issue is poverty."  

By leaking only the portion designed to inflame conservative commentators and bloggers, Media Matters, the NAACP and the White House have created a political trap in which they hope to influence voters and news coverage throughout the election.  Once Glenn Beck, Bill O'Reilly and others pounced on the story, the remaining tape was to be released. In the next daily news cycle, the remaining video was released, but unfortunately for President Obama, Glenn Beck did not fall for the ploy.

This ploy to discredit conservatives is ammunition to label bloggers "witch hunters" and build a case against new media in general and http://www.biggovernment.com/ and Glenn Beck specifically. On The O'Reilly Factor, Alan Colmes immediately spouted what seemed to be the Media Matters talking points before Bill O'Reilly had even seen the remaining video.

Politics of this sort is designed to deceive and if you have read my report on The Logical Goals of Good and Evil, you will understand that this tactic is nearly as Evil as the apparent White House plan to assassinate American Citizens.
