WE THE PEOPLE SAY
ENOUGH IS ENOUGH IS ENOUGH
It is a new day in our
country, and it has been a long time coming. We the People have spoken and
we have said, “Enough is enough is enough.” Neither The New York Times nor
the television networks nor all the glitterati in Hollywood can get us
back in our cocoon. Let them think us a bunch of ignorant yahoos. Frankly,
my dear, We the People don’t give a damn what they think.
We the People have
been browbeaten by the national media and special-interest groups into
thinking that anybody can say or do anything they want because, well, they
have the freedom to do so. What We the People say, however, is that
accountability and responsibility must go along with those freedoms.
We the People finally
got our government to kick radio personality Howard Stern in his garbage
mouth and lightened the wallets of the company that profited from his
trash. Who would have believed it? It wasn’t too long ago that to even
suggest that free speech also carries some responsibility would have
unleashed the tut-tut police. You were, after all, infringing on one’s
right of free speech, and whether that speech made our morals go to hell
in a wheelbarrow was immaterial. So the envelope was pushed further and
further until Janet Jackson and her boy-toy friend decided on an impromptu
striptease on national television. We the People were disgusted.
We the People have had
to endure the National Endowment for the Arts funding an exhibit that
included a crucifix dipped in urine and being told that this is freedom of
expression and then watching as individuals and groups try to remove any
reference to God from our Pledge of Allegiance and being told that this is
freedom of religion. What delicious irony that when Mel Gibson made “The
Passion of the Christ” it was panned by the liberal media and scorned by
the Hollywood glitterati. Gibson couldn’t even get major distributors to
handle the film. Guess what? “The Passion of the Christ” is one of the
highest-grossing films in history, and its run isn’t close to being over.
Do you think maybe the national media and their friends are a tad out of
touch with We the People?
We the
People have watched gay rights groups thumb their nose at the institution
of marriage, with more than a little help from the media. We the People
think the institution of marriage should be between a man and a woman.
Gays don’t. Like Janet Jackson, they pushed the envelope too far. So we
have turned to our elected representatives, who have to listen to We the
People or they won’t be our elected representatives anymore. The media
have tried to convince us that gay marriage is a critically important
matter and equate it to the civil rights issue. It isn’t. We the People
have spoken.
We the People can’t
believe that anyone thinks seriously that the national media have been
impartial in their coverage of the 9/11 hearings, which are a partisan
joke. It has been a shameful exercise of trying to pile on the president.
The media have pushed President Bush to apologize for the conduct of the
war. We the People think it is the media that should apologize for their
conduct, period. They have embarrassed themselves by their actions.
We the People will
decide for ourselves whether or not the president is doing a good job in
combating terrorism and fighting the Iraqi thugs. If we think he is, we
will re-elect him. If not, we will elect John Kerry. I doubt that very
many of us will consult The New York Times before we make our decision.
It has to be a rough
time for the national media and their friends in high places. They so much
want to tell us what is good for us. We know what is good for us, and we
seem to have finally found our voice to say so. We the People are now
thinking for ourselves, and we think enough is enough is enough.
