Conservative Refocus Week in Review

By Barry Secrest

This past week saw a couple of radio interviews in order to ply some uncommonly strong  Conservative opinion across the airwaves, while still maintaining a certain Republican sort of order. Most of the establishment types are not extraordinarily fond of me, it often seems, I should point out, so I tend to opine as conservatively as possible when on the air, no pun intended.

However, first up was the Matthew Brower Show, where we discussed  my book, "A Perfect Liberal Storm," as well as a number of other hot political issues.  Next up was an interview by Randall Stufflebeam--"The Constitutional Evangelist"--on Constitutionally Correct Radio. Both were great fun, while also convincing me to never listen to my own interviews. I suppose it's kind of like looking at your own picture, where most of us tend to be our own worst critics, unless we are narcissitically inclined, sort of like El magnifico, I should add.

Then, on Tuesday, we once again noted that the backend of this website was maddeningly spinning, while not allowing us in to post various updates due to the  traffic overwhelming the site. This typically happens when a new article is posted in the Main section.  We then decided to make the rather costly decision to expand the size and bandwidth associated with our Virtual Private Server, which is  hosted by the unequaled in quality Hostgator website. Now the site boasts a 2.69 GHZ CPU with 1824 MB of RAM, 80 GB of disk space and a bandwidth of 1425 GB; it's the fifth time in three years that we have expanded the site, but if you would like to help out, please purchase a copy of the book, no gimmee's here.

While in the process of investing heavily in the site, I doubled down and added a truck which would fit the family in, which just so happened to be in the showroom and was, in truth, the only one outfitted just the way I wanted, except it wasn't black, but then there was an odd twist....

The accidental "CR Longhorn Ram," equipped with CR eagle's head tag in front, by the way...

When I finally drove up at the office, I was quickly congratulated by Professor Kim, the webmaster and editor, for having purchased a vehicle which was accidentally color-coded to the same exact detail as this website, Molten Red with gold trim, go figure, I kid you not.

Subliminal?  Who knows....but might as well.

Up next was a story written by this humble writer in the news section concerning good ole' Wolf Blitzer from CNN and our blitzing of his interview with the Trumpster. In the article,we take a hard look at Wolf's surprising lack of knowledge, or veracity, when he stated the following:

"Wolf Blitzer Quote: The Governor of Hawaii is not a Democrat but rather a Republican"

We said : "Say What?! " and proceeded to explain that, in this CNN clip, we can see an almost panicked Wolf Blitzer continually remonstrate Donald Trump over the birther issue and how the Trumpster was completely wrong in his numerous assertions concerning Obama's fraudulent birth certificate:

However, what was most fascinating was how, during the CNN piece, Blitzer seemed as if he might suddenly burst into tears at any male menopausal moment, while Trump was having nothing of Blitzer's two--(2) (count them)--trademarked points, which spoke to why Trump was completely wrong.

So, what were the two points?

The first was that the state of Hawaii actually certified the birth certificate.  As Blitzer continually repeated this point, CNN would comically float an image, NOT of Obama's fraudulent certificate, but rather the much ballyhooed "certificate of live birth,"  which is about as useless as chicken poop on a pump handle in most circles. But float the image CNN did, all over the screen, as if to repeatedly admonish everyone, "see, this is it, FROM NUMEROUS POSITIONS, now shut-up!" Apparently, if we see the image float around on our screens enough we' ll begin to believe in it, kind of like a really cool "Ghost Hunters" episode of a full body apparition seen from several different camera angles.

Which, come to think of it....

At any rate, it gets better, of course, because during the heat of the argument, Blitzer began harassing Trump because of the fact that Hawaii's Governor, Neil Abercrombie, certified the birth certificate as being authentic, and Abercrombie is a "Republican," said Blitzer, and Blitzer, my friends is quite obviously wrong on this point.

In fact, Neil Abercrombie, the Hawaiian Governor, is not only a hard-wired Liberal Democrat, but he is also a friend of the Obama family, even claiming to having been present at the time of Obama's birth in Hawaii. So, Blitzer, being the well-polished news anchor that he is, needs to stick to his teleprompter, it would seem.

But then there was point number two, in which Blitzer's most pressing proof was the fact that there were two ads announcing the Messiah's birth in two newspapers at the same time in Hawaii....so this is the most compelling evidence you guys have? Wasn't there a star as well in the east? All of this, even when we have numerous accounts of Obama and Michelle stating he was born in Kenya, or even a publishing masthead indicating Obama's Kenyan birth?

The nexus of the entire exchange was how forcefully Blitzer was arguing on behalf of the President; however, as if he were the defacto defender of the President and his storied birth certificate. That, in and of itself, is really all most people need to see in order to powerfully set them to wondering about Obama's true origins.

We ended with the question: "If it's so ridiculous, why does the Media keep forcefully pressing the argument?"

Next up was a widely read article we found on the web where, apparently,  Huffington Post took extreme issue with Fox News on the airing of the following video, which was later removed by Fox:

In fact, many, including Conservative Ed Morrisey of Hotair,  in addition to virtually all of the Axis Press, took issue with this video as "way too partisan."

But was it really?

Initially, the Fourth Estate (which is the press for you Liberal pinheads out there) was established to both question power and to hold government accountable, certainly not to enable and encourage those within the halls of power to "take it to the limit" as most of the mainstream seems to do today.

So, while I would prefer a media which is centered in all things, I think this piece actually holds up the traditions of the media as originally intended by the Founding Fathers. But then there is one other thing that I would point out, with a special and pointed nod to Ed Morrisey and the entire Axis Press in the US.

Were the current paradigm of patently ridiculous sycophantic reporting not being done on a minute by minute basis, then this piece may, indeed, be a bit too much. But in the scheme of reporting what all of us have seen? No, this is nothing more than a brilliantly conceived balancing act for the rest of a heartily skewed and ridiculously slanted Fourth Estate.

Remember, the balancing function that nature always seeks, as continually witnessed by us all, quite oddly also assumes that we humans, including our thought processes, are the only entities that aren't natural that also exist on the planet.

When in fact, nothing could be further from the truth, which would largely explain that dastardly Fox News Producer's reasoning for running this in the first place.

By the way, the ultimate question in all of this would have to be, "Was the piece accurate?"  If it was, ipso facto, making the report all true, then where, dear friends, is the actual foul?

Therefore, no mystery nor problem here for this piece, "Mr. Ed" and all the other pitiful excuses for media functionaries; it's simply nature's own complex way of running Her own balancing course, through our thoughtful expression, which was not to wait very long at  all, as it turns out, when we caught this piece concerning Obama's "John Edward's style grooming issues." Remember, he is the Narcissist-in-Chief. So, in an article titled, "The Edwardian" Obama: From Attacks on Catholic Church to Barber Flown In Bi-Weekly," we enumerated our thoughts on the President's rather extreme attempts to keep his "Do" in place.
