Now this is a statement I find very interesting. My discussions on the Civil War have lead me to believe that there exists a very influential power block in the DC / Boston corridor that uses the government to further it's own interests, and especially to influence voters to keep putting it's puppets back into office from which they can dole out the goodies.
As it was in 1861, so too is it still today. The media (which influences the voters nationwide) is headquartered mostly in New York, and is completely under the thumb of these wealthy powerbrokers.
The media is heavily biased to the left, because the people who own it like it that way.
@DiogenesLampThe best example I can think of to highlight the hypocrisy of the 'murikan left is to point out that Bobby Kennedy,yes,THAT Bobby Kennedy,was the Chief Counsel of the House Un-American Activities Committee under Senator Joe McCarthy. Then,practically overnight,he because the hero of the left by going after white southerners.
The real reason being of course that the southern Democrats were taking over control of the Democratic Party,and the people who control the party control the party purse strings as well as committee assignments where you can get large payoffs.
How did Joe McCarthy,who never once told a lie about any of the people he accused of being communist agents because they WERE communist agents,suddenly become a villain,and Boby Kennedy become a Saintly figure?
