Congratulations to the New York Times for trampling the facts and publishing their fabrication of John McCain’s alleged lobbying activities without documented evidence or so much as a verbal confirmation. Now that’s integrity! With a long history of journalistic fantasy, they make Dan Rather look like a choir boy and have finally earned the right to be displayed at the supermarket checkout side-by-side with such noteworthy publications as The Enquirer, The Star, and Soap Opera Digest. Did I mention The Times endorsed McCain just last month? What puzzles me is why people seem so surprised that particular tabloid threw a Republican under the bus once a serious Democrat contender appeared on the scene.
Last night’s Democrat debate in Texas was scary enough to make all the little hairs on the back of your neck stand at attention. The candidates gently cuffed each other with the usual tired bumper sticker statements, bashed Bush a bit and ended with Hillary desperately trying to work up some tears. She couldn’t. The greatest conflict wasn’t between the debaters but came when Obama stated that he’d bring a government to Washington that listens…having only moments before described one of the functions of his administration as being “to educate the public about the changes they should expect in health care”. The fright of the night occurred when Barry O. declared that he “wanted only one class in America, where everybody is prosperous”. Sounds more than a tad Marxist to me and not unlike the aspirations Monica’s boyfriend’s wife has for our country. Redistribution of wealth? Socialized medicine? The U.S.S.A.? Naw-w-w. It’s probably only some leftover paranoia, from growing up during The Cold War with the U.S.S.R.
Speaking of such things, do you think we would have won any of the ‘hot wars’ in history if national support had been as splintered as it is today? Both Cleveland and Berkeley California have attempted to throw the Marines out of their cities. Most notable were the anti-American demonstrations led by a bunch of historically bankrupt airheads calling themselves ‘Code Pink’. At least when Vietnam was in question, most demonstrators understood the issues and had reasonably thoughtful opinions. The current crop of dufuses has no idea what they’re even saying…never mind whether there’s any electrical activity between their ears to begin with. If a picture is worth a thousand words, save me more verbiage by checking out the accompanying video.
Say…what do you suppose this crowd will think of the Marines when the Sand People start rummaging around their neighborhood the way they did in New York and Washington on 9/11?
