Infantilism Of the Left

.
[the bad news...]
A former liberal turned conservative comedian, Evan Sayet, also puzzled over whether those on the left side of issues were evil or stupid, and he came to the conclusion that they were instead suspended in a childhood frame of mind. In a speech at the Heritage Foundation last year, Mr. Sayet said: "So what you're left with after 10, 12, 14, 20 years in the leftist indoctrination centers that our schools have become are citizens of voting age who are utterly unwilling and incapable of critically judging the merits of the positions they hold and have held unquestioned since they were 5 years old and first entered the leftist indoctrination process."

[the good news...]
But thanks to the Internet, this time our military is getting the respect it richly deserves. There's no Walter Cronkite on the air distorting our victories as defeats, as he did in 1968, when he called the Tet offensive a victory for the North Vietnamese army, when it was a defeat. There's no Dan Rather pushing fake documents to influence an election. Thanks to bloggers, innumerable groups are organizing care packages for those serving abroad. There's also professional help available when soldiers come home to a grateful nation...

[I'd say those forces of disinformation still strive to distort - think of Reid, Murtha, the Marine 'murderers' of Haditha and AP's photo-shopped photos -- but they've no longer a media monopoly and so those weaned from TV can learn 'off message' facts...]
