Media not telling stories harmful to liberals

My first letter was a response to a Desert Storm peace protest column. An accompanying picture reminiscent of pot-smoking, flower-wearing, make-love-not-war protesters of the Vietnam War who spit on soldiers, calling them baby killers was the catalyst. Their ignorance of what those soldiers had faced inspired my first patriotic pin design. However, it was the national media's fault for not keeping them informed.
Today's not much better. Because the media ignored news stories that might tell a story detrimental to progressive liberals' agendas. A perfect example of this was the Tea Party/9.12 Project protests (both underreported). Only Fox News covered both without censorship and that's why more people are watching its news shows every day.
May God strengthen the Tea Party/9.12 Project and the growing Mommy Patriot movements (ASAMOM.org Mommylife.net and more), because these are the last vestiges of liberty left fighting for your freedom in America.
This, my last letter, will mean nothing to the enemies of free market capitalism and the reasons for no more letters celebrated as one fewer right-winged conservative. What do I care what my opponents think. I have no faith in government, and my hope is in Jesus. God save America.
