Taking on the powerful news media, Part 5

 This article is re-posted from The Victory For Liberty Center.  It is part of an on-going series.

Make noise.  Do it.  The armor of the Left-controlled news media is their voice.  They are louder than everyone else.  They can be heard when others can't.

January 19th was an historic day for lovers of liberty.  It was the 1st "Gun Appreciation Day."  Americans turned out to protest gun control measures in state capitols across the nation.  They made a scene, and made news.  The news media was forced to report the grassroots efforts because people made noise.

Remember back in elementary school, how there was that one kid that just needed to be heard?  They just could not bare being ignored.  They had to be the center of attention, even if that meant doing something ridiculous or against the rules. 

Now in politics, you can't make yourself look like an asshat.  If you do something stupid to get attention, you will be disregarded, and maligned.  Nobody will listen to you afterward.  But, you actually need to have the same vigor as that kid that wanted everyone to look at them.  They made every effort to be noticed.  Are we doing the same with respect to politics? 

Often we lovers of liberty are silent.  Our voices are not heard outside of our closest friends.  This must change, and it must have changed yesterday!  Snap to it!  The Leftists by nature are loud.  Leftists are natural activists since they seek to institute change.  This requires them to grab attention in order to spread their message and gain political clout. 

How many rallies do lovers of liberty hold compared to the Leftists?  Far fewer.  In recent years due to the propagation of Leftist ideology throughout the Federal Government, lovers of liberty have woken up.  The Tea Party was a definite indicator of this awakening, and served to communicate a message of smaller, less-restrictive government.  But the Tea Party isn't enough.

In order to overcome the news media, we must speak out.  This holds to true for public protests as well as social media.  If we make the noise, in most cases, the news media will be forced to cover the controversy, and thereby communicate our dissent, and our message of liberty.


This series will continue.
