Media Bias

So when does the mainstream media start reporting the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth?

How is it that the mainstream media can get away with reporting only part of what someone says or with failing to challenge people to reconcile past and current statements?

Gone, Gone, Gone

Dear Madame Speaker:

You work for us.

And, come November, you’re fired.

Just Asking II

So what happens once the Democrats in Congress realize that they've already blown their chances for reelection, no matter what they do over the next eight months? What kinds of mischief could they cause? Talk about the nuclear option….

Total Recall

I propose a Constitutional amendment allowing for recall elections for President.

A Final Review of The Ominous Parallels

Having recently finished reading The Ominous Parallels, I can now say that the book’s main premise is that the reason for Hitler’s rise to power was that in Weimar Germany even the so-called “Right”, the so-called “Conservatives”, had succumbed to what Thomas Sowell would call “The Vision of the Anointed” by accepting the philosophy of the times, which said that capitalism and individual freedom were evil.

The antidote, in Leonard Peikoff’s opinion, is the philosophy of Objectivism; he seems to think that neither Constitutional principles nor religion and morality can stop a civilization’s slide into statism and, in fact, blames religion for helping to cause this trend.

As I have said earlier, I don’t agree with his criticisms of Christianity, preferring instead to believe that the animating principles of Christianity are responsible for the rise of Western civilization in the first place and, if followed, will allow Western civilization to continue to prevail.

Scales

If the scales had not already fallen from my eyes with regard to the truth of Conservative principles, reading Thomas Sowell’s The Vision of the Anointed: Self-Congratulation as a Basis for Social Policy would have made it happen.

Serendipity

So I’m watching the Nascar Nationwide Series race since Danica Patrick’s in it (I usually only watch the Sprint Cup races) and I get the idea to wonder whether anyone has written anything linking her with Sarah Palin, which caused me to do a Google search and find this on a blog I hadn’t read before; then I went to the top of the blog and found that the author has recently started suffering symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome, which had struck me about nine months ago, so I posted a comment with a recommendation for alleviating the symptoms.

Cue the music to It’s a Small World….

Help Wanted

Can someone tell me the supposed faults with Capitalism? Anyone? C’mon, there has to be some Leftist out there somewhere who will see this and comment.

(And, if the comment’s on topic, I’ll even approve it.)

A Note to the Clueless Roland Burris

Chicago gangsters like Al Capone were criminals who engaged in illegal activities and acts of violence. Is this truly how you expect the President of the United States to act? And to think that people called President Bush a fascist….
