Liberalism at Poly is totally normal

I'm running out of stuff here... I should read more...

Although iTunes and Limewire now replace music stores as predators of American teenagers' wallets, the popularity of rock, pop, and rap that screams anarchy and leftist propaganda remains a fact on the charts. Quality of music, which by today's technology, is always readily accessible, has taken a backseat to the messages and advertisement of these Democratic battlecries. The diversity of American politics is dying out. American advancement in ideology will fall unless power in the media that dominates our young minds is balanced.

The American banner is a call to liberty and political freedom. The American media is a great hypocrisy. It might be easy to say that the romanticism is just more suited to the media and youth, but one might remember how propaganda in Nazi Germany for the far right also appealed to the youthful generations. The San Francisco experiment described by Todd Strasser's novel The Wave shows how susceptible even the borderline-socialist youth of San Francisco can follow the far right. Being able to develop free and new ideas depends on the existence of uncharted space that develops individually. In the Taoist ideas expressed in The Matrix, development of the world stops when the world is conquered because humankind cannot expand anymore [Matrix]. Ideological development cannot survive on leftist ideas alone.

It is the media that has the widest tubes force-feeding thoughts into today's young. As expressed by Johnnie To's film Breaking News, the media is in charge of modern society. Just as the Hong Kong police is much dependent on public image, any competent politician today must be a master of Twitter or Facebook. In another example, Newsweek published an article on Oprah, who can control the economy of literature or food on a whim like a Greek goddess, demonstrating the power of celebrity. It is only so long before Lady Gaga takes over her throne for the next generation. The point modern conservatives are missing is that Lady Gaga's songs are not a threat to society and that the media in general is not bad. Fox News is right. Garnering support from the youth must now be an active competition. In a survey taken by Polytechnic School's newspaper The Pawprint, it was revealed that the vast majority of students associated with the Democratic Party with only a slim minority taking more conservative views. The same newspaper also published a report on how the proper conservatism of Barry Goldwater is being replaced by religious fanatics that cannot attract the young with their fire-and-brimstone sermons [Pawprint]. If anything is really attacking American freedoms, it is more likely to be the leftist media.

The Republican Party currently still has funding and adequate power, but its political and literal capital are draining quickly following the election of President Barack Obama. Today is a time when America depends on this party to come to the modern age. Should it fail to do so, the United States will fall, not into socialism, but the stagnation of thoughts. A coming age of liberal media oppression will turn the minds of the coming generations into still ponds where flies lay their eggs.
