The MSM is determined to downplay the importance of Wednesday's Tea Parties around the country. Even living in a conservative area of the Bible Belt our local television stations barely covered the event.
I hope this also encourages conservatives to action. The liberals have understood that cultivating the media, the public school system and higher education would give them an advantage, we conservatives have not done enough to get the message out & educate others.
Personally, I find that when I talk one on one with others, there is so much confusion about the policies behind the politics and their long range effects. It is an education issue. People of ALL ages now seem ignorant of our history, unaware of the effects of certain legislation and downright duped by the media's biased and lazy reporting of world events.
This week, I have two challenges for you:
1. Start a new book. Increase your own education in history, politics, biographies, etc. There area ton of great writers with great books out right now. Two current faves - Liberal Fascism by Jonah Goldberg or Liberty & Tyranny by Mark Levin.
2. Engage someone in a REAL political conservation. Discuss your beliefs and ask about theirs. Do your best to get past the surface and dig in deep! You may learn something or inform them!
