For such a long time we've strongly suspected that the MSM is 'In-the-Tank' for progressive causes. So we've mollified ourselves with talk radio and letter writing campaigns to our representatives. After the elections of 2008 several things came to light; • We now have incontrovertible evidence that the MSM is not only 'In-the-Tank' for progressives; they actively ignore stories that may harm progressive candidates, causes, or activist organizations while simultaneously creating damaging situations against conservative candidates, causes, and activists by making up stories out of whole cloth. • Our suspicion that out elected representatives ignore our thoughts regarding such things as abortion, taxes, health care and the like; have been confirmed by these elected representatives voting against the instructions of their respective electorates; even after collecting overwhelming evidence of our feelings during their town hall meetings. It smacks of hubris that an elected representative would actually say; "I'm voting against my constituents wishes because they aren't smart enough to know what's good for them." • Due to our own complacency; we've allowed such a radical administration to capture both ends of Pennsylvania Avenue; that these progressives carry an open 'we-won-you-lost-we'll-do-as-we-please' attitude. They have added over $1.5 trillion to the debt after complaining incessantly about G.W. Bush's $500 billion debt. They are openly publishing Homeland Security reports the warn police to be on the lookout for conservative domestic terrorists. They are currently exploring way to shut down conservative's last place of free expression; i.e. talk radio, and are openly "at war" with America's only 'Fair & Balanced' news outlet because they refuse to 'smooch hiney'. Yes, there are a good number of us that have had enough of merely screaming at the TV and throwing stuff each night as they continue to ruin the country. We are now actively throwing their own stuff right back at them. Witness Friday's release of "The Manhattan Declaration: A Call of Christian Conscience." This is a call-to-arms for Christians. The document does, in my opinion, what Jesus asks all Christians to do. Good works and prayer are not enough; a Christian must identify, isolate, and actively work against evil. I believe that this is America's "John Gualt" moment. What are they going to do; lock up 60 million Christians in violation of 'hate-crime' statutes? Where will they be once the majority of society's 'producers' are incarcerated? We've realized that we can be vocal, and that our voice can make a difference.

One thing is for sure, it is becoming rapidly apparent that the formerly mainstream media culprits are going to sit on the sidelines for this four years and ignore their responsibility to journalism as a profession. As in any situation, this vacuum will be filled by other players who aren't worried about access to administration figures or other politicians who would seek to penalize them for publishing anything negative about themselves or their pet issues.
