I must have missed that section of the US Constitution where Thomas Jefferson promised upper-class tax cuts and no religious buildings for brown people. The Tea Party is rewriting history to suit their needs. After two years of these hyper-patriot anti-everything nuts came to be, most of America still doesnt understand what these people are.
The Tea Party is nothing new. It is merely the latest incarnation of the right-wing fringe that predictably overheats whenever a left-of-center reformer is elected to the presidency. It was the John Birch Society and the National Indignation Convention in the early 1960s, the Moral Majority and other “New Right” groups in the late 1970s, and Rush Limbaugh’s “dittoheads” and the militia movement in the 1990s. Only, this group has been molded and shaped by the mouth of corporate media.
A media for the people has never Been so important as it is today! Thats were Best of the Left comes in. Taking clips from the most influential progressive voices and compiling a clear picture of todays top issues. Jay does a fantastic job of combining dialog with great relevant music, which is necessary considering the current condition of the average American attention span. Jay airs all the phone-in comments (as long as its not extremely offensive or entirely irrelevant). The app has many great features, such as the ability to download or play past episodes as well as bonus features for iPhone/iPad users. We must support people like Jay to get the truth out there and purchasing this app is one of many ways to help finance the cause. Remember, the Corporate sponsors are part of our problem. Thank you Jay for giving me a little optimism in these dreary times.
