Included in that freedom is the freedom of speech and I find, as a college student, that people are standing up less and less for what they believe in because they are afraid of being belittled. I noticed this first hand in my Sociology class. About two weeks ago, we were discussing a chapter that was about religion and the professor decided to discuss her views on Christianity. She said "You know what I don’t want anything to do with a god that lets innocent people die for no reason." So of course being the bold individual that I am, I replied "Haven't you heard of the story of Adam and Eve? There is now sin in the world this is why these things happen. If Adam and Eve wouldn't have done it, someone else would have." After that comment the whole lecture hall began whispering and giving me dirty looks. Then she proceeds to talk about how individuals want religion back in public schools. Again I make a comment saying, “That’s exactly what we need. Our nation was founded on Judeo-Christian principles because we are straying our country is going downhill, God is lifting his hand." So she says, "No, a lot of the founding fathers were atheists." I was like are you joking? I'll bring you research if you'd like and even in the Continental Congress they used God numerous times. So then she says, “So what prayer would we pray in school?" I said a Christian prayer. She continued to shake her head and everyone was talking amongst themselves at this point and looking like they wanted to kill me, yet no one would stand up and say anything they were whispering to each other. So after class, one girl comes up to me and tells me how empowering that was that I stood up for my beliefs. But, as I was walking out another girl calls me dumb. So, apparently it was extremely gutsy of me to stand up for what I believed in but I don’t see it like that. After all, I felt it was just my opinion and that is one of the greatest things about our country is that we are allowed to speak our minds. But, needless to say if we don't begin standing up and encouraging other to do the same, our country is going to become a bunch of brain washed one-siders. If I wouldn't have said anything at all some of those individuals might have taken what she said to heart since she is the "omnipotent" professor.

You identified them, David. This is where the war is being fought, and where it will be won or lost. Therefore, the preservation of Fox is not only essential for right thinking people (us), but symbolic of our very freedom of speech, upon which the entire structure of freedom stands. We have always been the majority. Wew have always had the power. But we have never effectively harnessed that power. The left has known for a century that they could not overpower the true will of the majority UNLESS they could create the perception that THEY are the majority. The media has become the central prong of their multi-pronged fork. They're Forking us alright. NewsReal,and efforts like it, are our lifeblood. I'm in, and I'm recruiting. These ARE the trenches.

Look at Richard Nixon, he HATED The New York Times and The Washington Times and he got creamed by all other news outlets. With so many news outlets out there, online, TV, print, and on radio, why would you? And Fox News? The highest rated network? Aiming a BIT too high, seems like it. You attack the press as a politician and that news outlet you attacked will never be for you again. Say that news outlet becomes the biggest by far (say 75% of all Americans), you will still be hated by that news outlet. You never attack the press as a politician.

I'm really tired of people like you spreading doubt and confusion, just to rustle up a few votes and support. It's vile and offensive, you're not a source of information, you're purely a source of MIS-information. SoA does not stand for "Soldier of America," it stands for seksueel overdraagbare aandoening, dutch for sexually transmitted disease, it's just and underground way of letting swingers know you have an STD. Malik Hassan must have been part of that lifestyle, but you never really know who is a swinger, some very respectable people are swingers. SWT obviously stands for "Star Wars Trilogy," that is probably Malik Hassan's fetish. What irresponsible mis-information!
