In my 9th grade class, I took upon the responsibility of being the Editor-in-Chief of my school’s newspaper. With hard work and diligence to the truth, our little newspaper took the annual award for our size newspaper.
The award was presented by the Editor of the Cincinnati Enquirer. He told me that if I studied hard and received a degree in Journalism I may someday work for his newspaper. Without thinking, I responded that working as a journalist would be my last choice on earth. I said it then and I still have not changed my mind. Why you may ask? The answer is that I am not a Communist.
In my opinion, when a newspaper reports on stories not for the importance of the story, but for the furtherance of their political position. The governments of Russia and China, to name only two, decide what articles are printed and when. What is the difference? I really wish that these journalists, protected by the 1st Amendment of the U.S. Constitution told both sides of a story equally and truthfully.
This is what I did in my earlier experience as an Editor-in-Chief and now as a blogger. I report on Tea Party activism: What the Tea Party stands for, What the principles of the Tea Party are, and the support for the political candidates endorsed by the Tea Party. I no longer print a newspaper, but I do blog for my Tea Party. Something that the printed newspaper media will never do, at least not on an equal footing.

Someone hacked the Ohio Voter Integrity Project server. I wonder who would do such a thing: American Majority, Grand Old Party, Tea Party groups, Americans For Project; NO! NO! NO! NO! WHO WOULD BENEFIT FROM THIS CRIMINAL ACT? Could it have been the Democratic Party? Could it be one of their SuperPacs? Who else?
The Electoral College was formed as a way that the individual state representatives would vote for the President of the United States. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U.S._Electoral_College This Wikipedia article states there were several reasons that the popular vote would not be effective, I believe that the Founding Fathers did not believe the citizenry was not smart enough to select the President and Vice-President. This is further supported when you consider how U.S. Senators were selected. This selection was not by popular vote but by the respective State Legislators http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U.S._Senate
A Gallup poll was conducted with the following determination as to whether or not the U.S.A. needed “rich people.” These rich people, the top 5% of the people, pay 60% of the total taxes; whereas, the bottom 50% of the working class only pay 3%. The non-working class receive tax dollars without the need to work. The federal government would not be able to meet their financial obligations without the rich people. The Gallop poll showed that 20% of the Republicans, 41% of the Independents and 54% of the Democrats believe that these rich people and their tax dollars are NOT needed. I would also remind these electorates that these rich people own or control large companies that hire the working class.
I believe that these electorates are ignorant of these many facts, and if known, are truly stupid.
