Why have there not been any new posts at THE MEDIAN SIB lately? I’ve been asked that question several times lately. Even my daughter noticed that it has been almost two weeks since I last put up a new post.
I’m tired of politics. I guess I could write about other things, but I don’t have the interest right now. I read and watch the news, and I’m absolutely disgusted with the way that the liberals, in general, have attacked both McCain and Palin. I am absolutely disgusted with the liberal spin the MSM puts on any story.
Obama’s campaign preemptively claims racism regardless of what McCain or Palin say or do. It’s a tactic that works because it silences their opposition, makes their own constituents eager to jump on the racism accusation train. After all, if you accuse someone else of racism, it makes you seem so . . . uh . . . un-racist. Question Obama’s numerous shady associates and friends? You’re racist. Question Obama’s stand on abortion? You’re racist. Don’t like Obama for any reason whatsoever? You’re racist. Mention that Obama’s only significant accomplishment in his brief tenure as a U.S. Senator is running for POTUS, and you’re a racist. Simply BE for the McCain/Palin ticket? You’re a racist. I can’t even count the number of articles I’ve read from liberal media about how if Obama loses, it will show how racist the country is.
Obama’s long-term association with Jeremiah Wright and the Trinity United Church of Christ - the epitome of racial intolerance and psuedo-Christian theology - is the elephant in the room that is stomping around and knocking people around, but no one can talk about it. The Obama campaign has effectively silenced the oppositiion because to question it would result in charges of racism.
Most of the Clinton supporters have apparently forgotten that both Hillary and Bill Clinton were accused by the Obama campaign of being racist during the primaries. Of course, no one would dare categorize the racist charges as “negative” advertising. That would be racist.
I am thoroughly disgusted with both the Democratic party and the liberal media. No rational thinking person with anything but the most radical liberal beliefs could possibly support Obama based on his record, his beliefs and/or policies. However, Obama is young, he’s well-spoken, he’s charismatic, he’s Democratic, and he’s black. He is on his way to becoming our next President - and it will be a sad day for our country, and for our Constitution if that happens.
As I make my rounds of lefty blogs, I see the people who will vote for any candidate that has “D” after his/her name. An objective, independent thought never enters their head. I think some people have themselves so thoroughly aligned to the Democratic party emotionally - from the days when the Democratic party actually had some ethics - that they can’t even consider not voting for the Democratic candidate - even when that candidate poses grave danger to the very founding principles of our country. Every absurd spin of the liberal media gains full acceptance and endorsement. So they put their ethics and principles aside, buy into the liberal talking points and support a candidate that is the antithesis of what our country was founded on.
The Democratic party and the liberal media have done a very good job of characterizing any conservative as a Bible-thumping, irrational , gun-toting, hysterical and uneducated country bumpkin.
One of the more hilarious comments recently on this blog was an Obama supporter explaining in patronizing terms (along with numerous misspellings and incorrect grammar) how, as the country becomes more educated, the Democratic party gains ground because Democrats are logical - whereas Republicans are ruled by their emotions and their fear of gays and anger about abortion. The commenter went on to explain just how ignorant and irrational Republicans are. No one takes such an idiot seriously. He/she was just parroting the Democratic talking points.
Last week an Obama supporter claimed that someone yelled “Kill him!” when Sarah Palin mentioned Obama in a speech. Did the liberal media or Obama camp check the story? No, it was something negative about the McCain campaign, and so they ran with it. Obama himself even brought it up in the last presidential debate. And millions of people still believe it - even after the incident was proven not to have happened at all. I certainly won’t hold my breath waiting for the media to demand an apology from Obama . . . or even mention that it was simply a trumped up story by an Obamabot.
The Democratic party and liberal media have “accepted” that John McCain is running a negative campaign. We hear it all the time. Meanwhile they are running the worst of negative campaigns and going ruthlessly after anyone who questions Obama. The perfect example is that of “Joe the Plumber” whose tax and divorce records have been scrutinized meticulously by media - the same media that can’t be bothered to check into the tax records of Obama’s own treasurer. The double standard and media bias is breath-taking. However, I don’t think it will go un-noted.
My belief is that grass roots Americans will see this liberal spin and intimidation for what it is, and when they enter the voting booth on November 4th, they’ll vote for McCain-Palin in significant numbers to prove once again that the hysterical and mean-spirited left is out of touch with both America and reality.
