Isn't it time to throw in the towel on the Constitution?

Democrats dominate the major media:

Pro-Republican Fox News has one tenth the viewers of the Big Media:

5/25/11 huffingtonpost.com: NBC Nightly News averaged 9.469 million viewers, ABC's World News 8.380 million; CBS Evening News 6.204 million; among cable networks, Fox News 2.556 million. Those figures don’t include MSNBC, CNN and Hollywood biggies who shill for the democrat party. The facts prove the bias:

1) How Americans saw the mainstream media (TV and print) election coverage in 2008:

-Rasmussen poll: 69% for Obama, 6% for McCain

-Pew Research poll: 67% for Obama, 11% for McCain

-Sacred Heart University poll: 68% for Obama, 9% for McCain

-Fox News/Opinion Dynamics poll: 67% for Obama, 11% for McCain

2) University of Connecticut’s Department of Public Policy survey of journalists, nationwide, during the 2008 election: 52% supported Obama versus 19% for McCain.

3) 9/2009 Sacred Heart University Polling Institute: 69.9% agreed the national news media are intent on promoting the Obama presidency while 26.5% disagreed.

4) 9/23/10 Pew Research poll: 43% of those who perceive bias say it is liberal; 23% say they see conservative bias.

5) 9/29/10 Gallup poll: Distrust of the media Edges Up to Record High

Perceptions of liberal bias still far outnumber perceptions of conservative bias: 48% say the media are too liberal; 15% say they are too conservative.

6) 9/22/11 Gallup poll: 60% perceive bias, with 47% saying the media are too liberal and 13% saying they are too conservative.

7) 8/15/12 Rasmussen Poll: 59% of Likely U.S. Voters believe Obama has received the best treatment from the media so far; 18% think his Republican challenger has been treated better.

8) How many Republican presidential candidates has the New York Times endorsed since 1960? None. Not one.

Democrats dominate the "education" system, from K to PHD:

1) Who gets the K-12 unionized government teachers’ campaign cash?

http://www.opensecrets.org/orgs/list.php%E2%80%A6 Top All-Time [campaign] Donors, 1989-2012:

-The National Education Association (largest government teachers’ union) gave $43,613,263: 71% went to democrats, 5% to Republicans.

-The American Federation of Teachers (second largest government teachers’ unions) gave $34,698,466: 86% went to democrats, 0% to Republicans.

2) What’s the political make-up in our universities?

3/29/05 http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A842...

-72% of higher education teachers are liberal, 15% conservative

-50% identified themselves as democrat, 11% republican

-At elite schools: 87% are liberal, 13% conservative.

3) April 2012 http://www.nas.org/images/documents/A_Crisis_of_Co... a report on the dominant political views in American universities by the National Association of Scholars:

-“The extent of the tilt to the left has been growing and has now reached a magnitude not remotely matched in the past. In some areas it is so extreme that it amounts to virtual exclusion of any but left-of-center faculty members.”

-At the U. of Cal. Berkeley campus there were 350 full professors registered as Democrats to only 42 as Republicans, a ratio of 8:1; among associate and assistant professors the ratio is 49 democrats for each Republican.

Democrats dominate government unions:

10/22/10 http://online.wsj.com/article/SB200014240527023033... Wall Street Journal: The American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees is now the biggest outside spender of the 2010 elections. It gave 0% to Republicans between 1989 and 2012.

Is it any wonder why so many democrats vote to dump the Constitution in favor of a European style welfare state?

1) 2/4/10 http://www.gallup.com/poll/125645/Socialism-Viewed... 61% of liberals have a positive view of socialism.

2) 6/2/11 http://www.gallup.com/poll/147881/Americans-Divide... 71% of democrats favor re-distributing wealth.

3) 9/6-9/2012 http://www.gallup.com/poll/157481/majori%E2%80%A6 a poll on those who believe government should have more control over our lives: Republicans 15%; Independents, 29%; Democrats 67%.

4) And they finally got their national health care, the foundation of all welfare and socialist states.

With Obama’s upcoming Supreme Court appointments democrats will own the courts.

    Our country was built on the Constitution, James. And while I know it has been corrupted by Republicans and Democrats, I'm never going to stop believing it in because that is what our country was meant to be all along. Those laws still apply to us today and we can add more as progress carries us through various changes, but at the core it shouldn't change. I will always believe in the US Constitution because it set forth the ideals for our country hundreds of years ago.

    That was the longest trip to get nowhere I have ever seen.

    NO. It is time to strictly ENFORCE the Constitution of the United States and the LIMITS placed on the power and authority of the federal government.

    Soooo what your saying is that everyone but FOX is mainstream (since their numbers line up with real election results).

    Also most of the Country is Democrat or Moderate Republican and Conservatives are just a loud minority.

    People forget that the US Constitution's BEST feature.......is the ability to CHANGE it, as time goes on.

    NOW is the time to update and modernize the 2nd Amendment.

    Guns were necessary in Colonial days to fight the BRITISH.

    They may have been necessary for survial in the rural WILD WEST.

    They have NO PLACE in today's civilized society, except for HUNTING fanatics......in which case..........you do not NEED glock handguns, and Ak-47's

    If you need an Ak-47 to hit a deer....then you need to find a new sport.

    No, the constitution is all we have to ensure we can fight for the rights of the individual. We give it up and we are sitting ducks. It is what makes us who we are.
