and traditions of the People, subvert and educate their children in untruths. They actively destroy the family in favor of the State. They foster a sense of grievance and entitlement within those least productive and use them as an army to subvert the will of the People.

Mainstream media ignored the rumblings until they became too loud to ignore. Fox News finally began, through several of their show hosts, to actively support the right of the people to peaceful protest. But, make no mistake; these demonstrations were NOT organized by any big political players or Fox News. They were entirely the effort of concerned citizens who have finally had enough!
