Mad as Hell at the Media, Part 2: My Turn at the Right

Two weeks ago I got on the left/"center" mainstream media case about their use of the media to further their hidden agenda. This week I hit on the media of the so-called "right-wing extremists", religious right and ploitical right.

The "patriot/militia" right:

Since I have in the past been associated with the fringe of this "angry white male" movement that was "a force upon the plain" for the last few years but seems to have dissappated, or at least it isn't as notorious as it used to be, I know about and have come into contact with their agenda--and some of their agenda is almost as bad as that which they rail against, the so-called New World Order. Basically, it is this: get rid of government by, for, and of the power elites (good); get rid of the IRS, BATF, CIA, Federal Reserve and the other so-called illegal agencies (good); bring us back to the gold stardard, common law, Bill of Rights and Constitutionalism, and the limited central govt. that goes with it (good); isolationism (not so good); close our borders to illegals (a popular idea, but totally impractical and in many cases immoral, considering immigrants are part of what made this nation great); bring back Biblical morality (a great idea, but NOT the way the religious wing of this movement, Christian Identity, would have it. As a woman, I won't stand for their "barefoot and pregnant" nonsense!); violence (Not everyone in the patriot movement believes in this, but, having seen with my own eyes the results of the 1997 Republic of Texas standoff, and having known the Patriot media was solidly behind Rick McLaren and his crew, I truly believe those that advocate this method to right the wrongs of out-of-control government are either insane or agents-provacatuer types affiliated with agencies of the power elites.); doing what the bankers do (you know, printing bogus money, a-la Freemen--and McLaren, who tried to pass phony "Republic of Texas Warrants," backed by nothing.); and so on. Thus, I can say with a certainty that the Patriot movement agenda is part great intentions (which the road to Hell is paved with), part con-game scamming, and part downright un-Godly, and their media materials reflect this.

The Christian Right (apart from Identity):

These are the folks who want to ban everything, from rock music to video games to working on Sundays to pornography on the Internet (which, hopefully, I will get into critiquing next week). You know, legislate all morality, and, like the Big Brother government they purport to oppose, they seek to tell Americans what is best for them. Like Christian Identity they want to return to Biblical values, but, for these hypocrites, some Biblical values are better than others. For instance:
