Stirring the pot

LOL - So the majority of Americans trust a news source that provides more than one point of view rather following the scripted propaganda (According to the Democrat partisan polster Public Policy Polling).

Every time a person complains about "FAUX News" and conservative lockstep, just remember:

1. It's not conservatives who try to stifle free speech on college campuses. Who is behind speech codes and political correctness?

2. It's not conservatives who insist that any person that does not unthinkingly agree with published doctrine about "global cooling/global warming/climate change" is an idiot. Who is asking that research, data, and methods be brought into the open and subject to public peer review and the scientific method?

3. It's not the conservatives insisting that only they know the "correct" way for you to raise and educate your child; that the state knows better than you do. Who is questioning the increasingly inept public education machine and pushing for alternatives that have been proven to yield better results, such as independent charter schools?

4. It's not the conservatives that look to the government for help for any problem great and small? Who looks inside themselves, their family, and their community first as the source for the means they need to survive and prosper?

5. It's not the conservatives that believe that the power of the people comes from the government. Conservatives, Libertarians, and Independents know that, in America, all rights belong to the people; that the only power government has is the power that the people choose to allow the government to have in order to conduct the business of government.

Just a few thoughts,
