important point—the members of the media created JFK so they could then associate with him. It was as good a way of picking up chicks on the left as ever there was. JFK and the media—a symbiotic, sex-crazed Frankenstein’s monster, let loose on a gullible, trusting, and complacent country, which it then proceeded to pillage, both politically and psychologically.
    If that last paragraph went over your heads, let me put it in simpler terms. The media invented JFK, then sold him to the voters, much like a recent political lightweight who was given the greatest push in the history of the American political system—Barack Obama.
    But I don’t want to veer too far off topic—this chapter is about an American hero. Nixon ran in ‘68 and started kicking some tail right off the bat, even as the media whined and cried about ‘Nam ( They’re shooting back! Run away! ). While the media expressed negative opinions about US involvement in Vietnam and the heroes who carried out the justified, dangerous missions, Nixon did his thing. The media didn’t like that, not one bit, so they turned up the heat. They came at him and the American people with a well-organized blitzkrieg of bullshit. They basically instructed the American voters to elect his opponent, Hubert Humphrey, but the American people didn’t buy it for one second. Nixon wiped the floor with him and became the leader of the free world.
    So Nixon was put in the White House, where he belonged, and he got to work . He started droppin’ bombs and letting the Russians and the Chinese know that communism had to go in Southeast Asia. He wasn’t unreasonable. He was happy to sit, talk, and try to work it out. Not on their terms, but on ours . He was all over the place, in dark blue suits and a permanent five o’clock shadow. He was putting his finger in people’s chests and telling ‘em right where to go if they didn’t like it, always backed by fellow badass Spiro Agnew, his right-hand man.
    During this whole time, Nixon was talkin’ zero trash, like a man; running a country in tough times, with a war going on and things to do. He was just doing his job, and then the next election rolled around. And guess what? The media, which hadn’t been able to sit down in the last four years thanks to the licking they took while bent over Nixon’s knee, decided to get some revenge. They doubled-down on the relentless, astonishingly biased reportage, basically demanding that the American voters elect Nixon’s opponent, a pacifist, milquetoast, stumblebum named George McGovern. And I mean the shrillest, most overwhelmingly one-sided “journalism” in political history (until this last election, that is).
    And guess what happened, my fine friends? Nixon won even bigger than the first time. The voters repudiated the media and their attacks both on Nixon the politician and Nixon the man; they gave him an overwhelming vote of confidence. The American people told the media, and their hollow, opaque, pandering coward of a candidate, “Thanks, but no thanks.”
    They understood Nixon and the complexities and demands of his mission, and they approved of what he stood for. How did they come to this decision? By thinking for themselves . They refused to be dictated to by a bunch of guys with microphones, news cameras, and notepads. The American voters manned (and wo-manned ) up, and they sent Nixon right back to the hard work of winning a war and running a country, which was increasingly being undermined by the Left and its ideological shock troops, the media. The media, rife with individuals who had avoided the war by getting college deferments, had no interest in winning the war. Those war-avoiders had graduated from college with degrees in journalism and gone to work at newspapers and television stations across the country. Bitter and resentful, they bored their way into the supporting psychological structure of the country like a gang of shipworms, determined to destroy the timbers
