It seems that the media--and many liberals--have practiced modern day slavery in their political discrimination. If you're a black conservative, you better be prepared to be called "Uncle Tom" or a white man's "tool". Rather than try to win an honest discussion on the issues, liberals have chosen to label and name-call.
Many people can, at the very least, acknowledge that the media doesn't treat conservatives the same way as progressives. From Newsweek's "crazy-eyed" picture of Michelle Bachmann, to the news outlets' (minus Fox News) insistence that The Tea Party is a radical, racist organization--it can't be any clearer that liberal bias exists.
The collapse of great nations occurs because internal divisions eat away the foundations. Hard work has been replaced by entitlement. Political office has been corrupted by career politicians focused on personal gain. First Amendment assembly rights have been changed to mean that unions are a "special class" of citizens. When politicians know that their district is passionate about an issue, there is no doubt about it--they will do anything to foster it so they can get re-elected.
Remember when President Obama and other Democrats proudly stated that 'K Street' lobbyists and special interest groups would no longer be welcomed in the Oval Office? Or how terrorists should never be tried in military tribunals? Neither of these quite made it to reality.
Democrats need to get serious on reform, and Republicans need to be willing to negotiate. America simply cannot afford to waste money that it does not have. That also means stop sending billions of dollars in relief aid to other countries until we are more financially secure.
It is quite interesting to watch social media explode when political history is made. People on both sides of the aisle start tweeting or updating their status with a declaration of victory or explanation of their political beliefs. When the news leaked over an hour before President Obama announced that Osama bin Laden (OBL) had… [Read more…]
Thomas Jefferson once said, "The natural progress of things is for liberty to yield and government to gain ground."
Americans have become enslaved to government--psychologically, emotionally, and economically. This is absolutely not what the Founders intended when they framed the Constitution. The government's sole responsibility, constitutionally and biblically, is to provide for the defense of the nation and punish those who do not follow the laws of the land.
Up until recently, Glenn Beck had been the rising star of conservative politics. His potential was first evident on CNN, a network that doesn't often condone much conservatism on air. Despite his unpopular views at CNN, he was capable of drawing in viewers to watch his program.
Whether it is President Bush or President Obama--both polarizing figures--the job of the presidency is not one to be mocked or treated with disrespect. My criticism of both men should not prevent me from seeing the bigger picture.
