I find it irritating how Democrats and liberal public figures regularly get away with their sleaziness and disregard for decorum; conservatives and Republicans, however, are castigated for every remotely questionable act.
To the liberal mass-media, of course, this is “fairness”, and “objectivity”, and when we complain about it, we’re being disingenuous and/or just whining, because as we all know, there is NO media preference.
However, if this depthless wellspring of blatantly negligent--even malfeasant--media favoritism were reversed, they’d tire of it, too. Rapidly.
In a 2008 letter to the editor, I predicted that if Obama were elected, criticism of him and/or his policies would be repressed; his critics would be smeared, labeled as racists.
My friends, welcome to the Future.
Thanks to columnist Maureen Dowd, anyone disagreeing with The One can now be simply dismissed as racist, their opinions therefore contemptible.
Dowd wrote that when Senator Joe Wilson shouted “you lie!” upon hearing--during Obama’s deception-laced health care speech--that illegals wouldn’t be covered, the “unspoken word (she) heard was ‘boy’”.
In other words, Dowd--with typical elitist liberal lack of scruples--twisted Wilson’s astute observation into a racist statement; “you lie, boy!”
Other media liberals and politicians quickly piled on; even Jimmy Carter---who, I might point out, ran for Georgia governor on a racist platform---chimed in.
They all know these charges of racism are ridiculously false; but, it’s fine. After all, they’re fibbing for the Little Guy! Right?
In their world, Wilson’s now Grand Dragon of the Ku Klux Klan, and those supporting him are doubtless hiding white robes and hoods, and probably have a gasoline-soaked cross in the garage, all ready to go.
Now, Democrats frequently jeered Bush during similar speeches; they, however, were hailed in the Press, for “speaking truth to Power”.
This is a liberal Democrat administration, however; very open; permissive and tolerant. Therefore, dissent and non-cooperation are unpardonable sins.
Wilson, obviously, said no such thing; however, that’s irrelevant to the liberal/Democrat Mass-Media Propaganda Ministry.
I was on Bill Maher's Facebook page, and Maher's status update said: "Joe Wilson has raised two million dollars; that's a lot of cheese for a cracker."
The Obamabots were eating it up. You'd think he'd actually said it, the way they're acting. Of course, that's the idea; the Orwellian Media strikes.
As an aside, during a discussion, I was actually scolded on there by one foul-mouthed poster, for using statistics and news links; seems I should just say what I mean, "instead of using all that pseudo-intellectual (a term which the the guy mispelled) bullshit."
So, again we see, facts are meaningless to liberals; especially when there are lippy Republicans to ruthlessly silence and destroy.
These things only reinforce the contention that the media is, indeed, terribly biased.
Unfortunately, there are too many deliberately self-deluding people out there; those misguidedly believing that Barry Obama, Kenyan-born Communist, and his fellow-travelers in the Congress and Senate, honestly care anything about We, the People, and truly have our nation’s best interests at heart.
Wake up, America; there are weasels in the henhouse.
Obama told David Letterman that there’s been “too little government…(and)…regulation”. Yes; big government always knows best! And the bigger it gets, the better it knows.
Obama and his radical, left-wing cronies detest everything America has traditionally embodied since 1776. They advocate policies which would vastly increase governmental influence, further intruding upon personal freedoms, and totally bankrupt the nation.
They work to undermine and destroy the Founding Father’s system, and our standing in the world.
One word: Czars.
Nearly 40 of them, all attending to powerful concerns, all answering only to Obama, none permitted by the Constitution. If Bush had done this, the liberals and their media would have been absolutely livid; hysterical. Obama is openly doing what they accused Bush of doing in the shadows, for eight years: directly undermining the Constitution. Where's the outrage?
Even fellow Democrat Robert Byrd, the Grand Old Man of the Senate and a respected Constituional scholar, wrote Obama, protesting this. He was either ignored, or the incident was downplayed.
Obama sides with our enemies.
He’s dropped the "missle shield" program, and thusly abandoned our allies, Poland and Czechoslovakia, to whatever fate Iran’s Ahmedinejhad and Vladimir Putin, Russia’s ex-KGB Godfather, have for them, and seems okay with Iran--repeatedly promising to obliterate Israel--building nukes. Although, he did recently put them “on notice”. I’m sure they’re quaking with fear.
His buddy, Venezuela’s Commie boss Hugo Chavez is--with Russia’s assistance--building a nuclear plant, “for peaceful purposes of energy production”.
Isn’t that why Iran wanted one, too?
Iran and Venezuela; two countries ruled by ambitious tyrants. Both, sitting on oceans of oil, and they need nuclear power?
Up-‘n’-at’em America; it’s getting late. We’ve elected the enemy, and we can't count on the media to call them on it.
