Barack Obama got elected thanks in part to a slew of misinformation.

The president got elected by a swarm of people who are unaware of the truth... This was no mandate for socialism! This was a sad turn of events that showed the flaws of the primaries, the weakness of the two party system, and the masses of people who are perfectly content with getting their news from the Daily Show because CSPAN and doing your own research is widely touted as just too boring in contrast to things like Snooki's most recent mishaps...

2008: Let's not make the same mistake twice...

That is why the talk radio is so imperative; that's why the Tea Party movement is so critically important! Those involved are doing more of a service to their country than they may even be aware of:

They're serving the nation through exposing the TRUTH.

Talk radio is the key. It is, for the most part, the only media outlet that encourages freedom of thought and the dissemination of debate and opinion. Information is power...and that's exactly what we promote! But it's no wonder those outside the talk radio loop see us as extreme; as fringe... just look at how we're portrayed! Case in point, Reuters, Tom Brown, July 29th:

Glenn Beck, the arch-conservative U.S. television host who has an almost cult-like following among many Tea Partiers, was mockingly depicted on the cover of The Economist news weekly as the "Mad Hatter" of the movement after the character in Lewis Carroll's "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland.

Har, har, har. They may as well have said "Ring-wing extremist" followed by "Neo-Nazi". What ever happened to neutral reporting? Why are conservatives in media painted as arch-enemies of peace and perpetrators of panic? Either that or "shock jocks"...

Talk radio is a raw outlet that, yes, is overflowing with opinion and viewpoints, but it's also chock full of people that encourage independent thought...and to go do your own damn research.

Viva la First Amendment!
