RUMSFELD'S REMINDER: THE ALARM WENT OFF 5 YEARS AGO. STAY AWAKE.

        When reading the Mainstream media it's useful to keep in mind dream logic. To understand dreams one must appreciate the power of fantasy to overcome reality. Not only is the adult sense of reality suspended during dreams, but it is replaced by a dream sense of conviction, so that only on waking does the dreamer understand he was deluded while asleep. Freud once pointed out that we are all psychotic--in our dreams, meaning that the adult waking sense of reality and judgment is temporarily suspended during sleep. However, states of consciousness vary, so one may be only partially awake even when not actually lying in bed at night, fully asleep.
        If you keep in mind that modern liberalism is a shared waking dream, a wishful fantasy of omnipotence, of a peaceful world requiring only the dreamer's good will and boundless empathy for the oppressed, then it becomes relatively easy to understand our media's agenda. They are partially asleep, and therefore can't acknowledge the deluded nature of their belief system, for to do so would awaken them to painful realities. Instead, they reshape the world in accordance with their liberal dreams. In that dream world we have no enemies who want to destroy us because we're Jews and infidels, only friends we need to sit down and talk with sympathetically. In dreams we're all self centered and the cause of wondrous events. In dreams we create our enemies and we can transform them instantly into friends by properly appreciating their grievances and wishing away their rage.
        Recall what it's like when you've awakened a happily dreaming child to tell him he has an unpleasant task to perform. You will then understand the reaction of liberals to the war launched against us by Jihadis. They go back to sleep. First comes denial---it's not really a war; then comes scapegoating---it's the neocons, the Jews, Israel, it's the Cowboy in the White House, it's a minor law enforcement problem, Saddam has nothing to do with the Jihadis, etc. When the President and the Sec'y of Defense persist in their attempts to awaken the childish dreamers to the reality of war, they respond with tantrums. Notice there is almost no reasoned effort to dispute the President's and the Sec'y of Defense's history lessons, but like small children awakened from a pleasant dream, they react with aggrieved anger---how dare you wake us from our nap.
        The problem is not reducible to one of simple partisanship. If it were it would be easily dealt with through rational argumentation. The mainstream media is not merely the public relations and support group of the DNC, it is the propaganda arm of the utopian yearners for a perfect world, a world that exists only in sleep and dreams.
        The Sec'y of Defense complains that the mainstream media prefer stories of misdeeds by our soldiers to stories of heroism. However, this makes sense, for tales of heroism involve recognition that sometimes it's necessary to kill an enemy and to lay down one's life to defend our way of life and values. In the dream world of multicultural liberalism, there are no values that are superior and therefore worth fighting and dying to preserve. Ironically, Congressional Medal of Honor winner, Paul Smith (see below)gave his life so that our media elites could continue their uninterrupted slumber. For the rest of us, it is a painful and stirring reminder of what we're fighting for in World War IV.

The President of the United States of America, authorized by Act of Congress, March 3, 1863, has awarded in the name of Congress the Medal of Honor to

Sergeant First Class Paul R. Smith
United States Army

Sergeant First Class Paul R. Smith distinguished himself by acts of gallantry and intrepidity above and beyond the call of duty in action with an armed enemy near Baghdad International Airport, Baghdad, Iraq on 4 April 2003. On that day, Sergeant First Class Smith was engaged in the construction of a prisoner of war holding area when his Task Force was violently attacked by a company-sized enemy force. Realizing the vulnerability of over 100 fellow soldiers, Sergeant First Class Smith quickly organized a hasty defense consisting of two platoons of soldiers, one Bradley Fighting Vehicle and three armored personnel carriers. As the fight developed, Sergeant First Class Smith braved hostile enemy fire to personally engage the enemy with hand grenades and anti-tank weapons, and organized the evacuation of three wounded soldiers from an armored personnel carrier struck by a rocket propelled grenade and a 60mm mortar round. Fearing the enemy would overrun their defenses, Sergeant First Class Smith moved under withering enemy fire to man a .50 caliber machine gun mounted on a damaged armored personnel carrier. In total disregard for his own life, he maintained his exposed position in order to engage the attacking enemy force. During this action, he was mortally wounded. His courageous actions helped defeat the enemy attack, and resulted in as many as 50 enemy soldiers killed, while allowing the safe withdrawal of numerous wounded soldiers. Sergeant First Class Smith’s extraordinary heroism and uncommon valor are in keeping with the highest traditions of the military service and reflect great credit upon himself, the Third Infantry Division “Rock of the Marne,” and the United States Army.
