Romney The Media Favorite, NO MATTER WHAT!

It is clear even listening to Fox News that they have decided Romney is the one to run against Obama no matter who the people actually want. Why do I say this? Well, let’s take a look at the basic reporting since this whole thing has started. In spite of the fact that Romney has never really been in the lead they feel he has the best chance to win against Obama. They constantly talk of Romney as man to beat, even though once again he’s never really been in the lead.

Do you have a talk about a man who is at best in second place as being the man to beat? Of course we don’t talk this way but apparently FOX News and the other media outlets do talk this way. The media rave when Romney is at 20%-25% and yet they brush off as only temporary when others have more? Does this show they are treating the others with a different standard? I would say that’s the case.

Consider how quickly they’ve forgotten Cain even though it’s now been more than 2 weeks without a word from his accusers. The whole situation seems to have just evaporated. If there really had been something there it would have exploded by now. As we all know the accusation is better than the actual crime when it comes to destroying someone’s reputation. Did the media bother to do their due diligence before running those reports? No! But then they rarely do. They care more about the sensationalism than the reality.

As at the beginning Cain’s percentages have dropped off mostly due to there not being an ounce of reporting on him since the allegations of his sexual harassment. We need to keep in mind that at least up to this point that’s exactly what they are, allegations. There have been no formal charges, but then as with many harassment suits there rarely are. The company settles and the person stays quiet. To me this says they are not nearly so interested in justice as in money.

So why is there this great ongoing love affair with Romney. As little reporting as possible is being done about his liberal leanings. In many ways it reminds of McCain. They seem to think the only one that can beat Obama is another liberal. The reality is that even such groups as FOX News are generally not in favor of true conservatism. They are better than the rest for the most part except I can’t help but keep thinking about the wolf in sheep’s clothing. They are determined to try to convince us that a person with real conservative values couldn’t possibly win the White House. I personally do not believe this is true. I think most people in the nation hold to the values of the conservatives and could certainly get behind a conservative candidate.

Even FOX News either supports or has bought into the idea that the fringe elements in society are somehow main stream. Homosexuality is not the norm. Though many support abortion as a right of the woman I think there is hardly a person out there who does not recognize that the life growing inside a woman is a baby otherwise it would not be any more of a choice than cutting off your fingernail (as the abortion rights people like to compare the fetus). Though a growing number of people have become dependent on the government through welfare and the like I don’t believe that most people even those people feel it is really right to spend your life living off other people. What people are opposed to is the hyper conservatism that these people are painted as having. Are any of these people running for office really that hyper-conservative.

It is such a shame that people are made to feel that ethics and morality are in some way shameful or something to be hidden. Yet the people who are the most immoral and stand for the things that most fly in the face of the constitution and our founding documents are bold as can be to declare unconstitutional views. When you try to corner them they are not even bold enough to answer a single question straightly. All they do is dance around the issue and avoid ever really answering it at all. In many cases they actually go on to answer or talk about something that has nothing to do with the question that was being asked.

Enough with trying to find reasons why Romney’s flip-flops were not just that, or why his ultra liberal creation of Romney care is somehow different in intent from Obama’s. He expresses that his is only state wide and therefore not a violation of the constitution, but the intent was clearly the same that the government is responsible for our health care, our retirement, certainly for feeding us with welfare. What more is left for the government to take care of, and yet he’s not a LIBERAL????

All of this being said I really wish the media would simply print or say what these men say or believe or stand for as well as filling us in on their records of voting and speeches they have given in the past. If they did this they would not even have the time to keep trying to convince us which one they want to see win. This is not even their proper place as reporters.

Let them get back to the business of reporting and get out of the business of opinion. This includes Most especially FOX News which though probably the most balanced or at least A balance to the other Media outlets is still far too busy with opinion. They simply can't let go that Romney is not the top dog. They want him to be and like McCain keep hoping he'll do something to justify their faith in him so they can run with it even more, but so far they have shown a complete unwillingness to let Romney go and give the other people their fair shake, some of whom you don't even hear.

Please media out there start doing geniuine reporting

Corruption in High Places

It seems it is reaching the point where we are so used to hearing about the corruption in our leaders that we've not only become numb to it, but have even come to expect it. As a result of what is becoming a tradition, it is now becoming a goal of many people to say whatever they need to say to get in politics just so they can get some of that gravy train for themselves. the problem with this is that it makes it more acceptable every time we allow it to happen again without saying a word about it.

Solyndra is just one example that we're coming to know about. Sadly I fear there will be many others that we will hear about in the near future, but with each one we do less and less rather than really dealing with it.

The morality of our nation is rapidly crumbling which is at least as important and from where I stand more important than what is happening to the economy. If something isn't done about the moral erosion of our nation soon we will most certainly pass into history as yet another failed political experiment. The sad thing is that it won't be the fault of the form of government that we've chosen it will be the fault of the people who allowed our leaders to take away from us the liberty our founding fathers fought so hard to give us.

One of the chief means by which this corruption is now happening on a regular basis is through the use of the executive order. Not just this president, but previous presidents have used this tool (nowhere found in the constitution) to make their own laws. The problem is that it has rarely been opposed by those in congress. The congress is supposed to be the ones that make laws not the president. It is the president's job to execute the laws not to make them. The problem is that more and more presidents have been using executive orders to create their own law and thus accomplish things that are supposed to be left up to the congress to do.

Another form of corruption or at least a corrupting influence is the regular nearly univeral use of exempting congress from the laws they pass on the rest of us. In this way they are free to write pretty much anything they want without concern for what it really means to the rest o us. This was never meant to be the case.

What if anything can be done about these things? Well for one congress could make a law that goes retroactive declaring that all previous laws passed by them apply to congress. Of course the likelihood of that is fairly small. Judges could rule those laws unconstitutional under equal protection which would most certainly solve the problem. The same is true of executive orders. The judicial branch should be involved in these things and sadly for the most part they are busy sticking it to the rest of us rather than keeping the lawmakers in line.

It is equally disturbing that some people are bothered that Obama and the left/liberals/communists/socialists have not gone far enough in that direction. Don't any of these people realize that socialism is against the constitution and therefore by its very nature treason. Our founding fathers understood that to support another form of government other than the constitution was paramont to treason.

Consider the following quote by Thomas Jefferson;

"I have spoken of the Federalists as if they were a homogeneous body, but this not the truth. Under that name lurks the heretical sect of monarchists. Afraid to wear their own name, they creep under the mantle of Federalism, and the Federalists, like sheep permit the fox to take shelter among them, when pursued by dogs."


"These men have no right to office. If a monarchist be in office, anywhere, and it be known to the president, the oath he has taken to support the Constitution imperiously requires the instantaneous dismissal of such office; and I hold the President criminal if he permitted such to remain. To appoint a monarchist to conduct the affairs of a republic is like appointing an atheist to the priesthood."

Today it is not monarchists, though I suppose in some ways it is, since socialism and communism invariably lead to dictatorship, but today it is socialists and communists hiding among the democrat and republican parties. They like to call themselves progressives, but this is just another word for socialist or communist.

When you have congresswomen suggesting that we suspend elections, or the president himself stating that he wishes things were the way they are in china so he could get something done, the red flags ought to be shooting up everywhere. Why would we ever allow communists, Marxists, or socialists to hold any prominent position in our government since it is directly opposed to their oath to uphold and defend the constitution? It was for this reason that Jefferson said they should be removed from office.

We are now saddled with a position where we have voted in a president with these leanings who has in turn placed many cabinet members under him to make sure the goals of the communists, Marxists and socialists are carried out to whatever extent they may be.

It is absurd that we should even be considering this many for another term of president. This is a man who has violated almost every principle and ethic our nation has stood for. He has turned on and insulted almost every ally we have, he has stated that he believes in the redistribution of wealth quite openly with almost no fanfare from the media. He has put as many things in place as he can to try to make sure that redistribution happens and yet we are actually not only considering him for another term, but people are actually speaking as though he will be hard to beat.

We need to get him and his cabinet out of their positions as quickly as we might.

Herman Cain Left Out in the Cold

Well it seems even FOX News has left Herman Cain our in the cold. All the media has been so infected by the politically correct view that if a charge is made of sexual harassment that it must be true, or at least it should be treated as true till it is proven false.

I recently had to go through a "sensitivity" training that included the whole office because there was probably some charge of sexual harassment leveled against an individual. Party of the training included that if you were even accused of such a terrible crime, that will label you for life, even if there is NO proof you are put on notice and the next charge could mean you are dismissed from your job. I raised my hand and asked if this meant that you were guilty until proven innocent.  The woman teaching the class said of course not, I responded with the question of why you would then be on notice when it has already been stated that there was no evidence of your offense?

There is never any answer to this question. It is simply a given that to be accused of such a thing is as good as to be guilty of it. This is the same thing that is happening with Herman Cain right now. Every one is saying that because so many charges are coming out that it must be true and this is only going to make things harder on him.

I remember a friend at a job I worked at a long time ago being accused of such a thing by one of the girls on the unit. He was immediately removed from his position, suspended, then put on night shifts while the investigation was going on. Almost 2 weeks after the initial report the girl who had accused him told one of the staff that she had lied and just wanted to see how trouble she could get him in. This was a correctional institution. No you have to understand at correctional institutions criminal are not known for their honesty, yet she was immediately believed when the charge was made, but when she recanted they again assumed it must because of intimidation or some such rubbish. So now they didn't believe she was telling the truth about lying, though they were ever so quick to believe the lie. This man, who loved those kids so much that he used to come in on his holidays to do Santa Clause and make Easter dinner out of his own pocket became a pariah. He almost lost his marriage and his job over a lie from an inmate.

It is time that we stopped believing charges with no foundation of evidence simply on the basis that no one would tell a lie about such a thing. Now the same thing is happening to a presidential candidate with a scrutiny never witnessed when Clinton was accused of such a thing and God forbid we should consider how the media tried to cover for Weiner till they knew they simply couldn't any more. Once he saw the media favor waning, that's when he determined that he ought to resign.

In this case we have at least one person who has now accused several different people of sexual harassment all under questionable circumstances. Another woman seems to know Axelrod and yet this doesn't raise any question about her either. Once can only wonder why there are not more questions being raised about the women.

I know the story line reads that if you question the motives of the person bringing the charge that other people will be afraid to step forward if something similar happens to them. If people are really unwilling to level a criminal charge against someone who has committed a crime then there is not much other people can really do about it. At some point it is most certainly approropreate to raise questions about the person bringing the charges against someone.

In this particular case there are at least 2 people who have questionable motives for doing what they're doing. It should also be asked why it is that these people didn't come forward sooner. Everyone seems to treat these women as though they were scared children instead of adults who understand the protection of the law against such criminals.

I understand that an unwanted sexual advance, meaning you ask someone on a date and they say no and you ask another time is now considered a crime in some states. This used to be called persistance. Now it is called a crime. It is a wonder with this fear of being considered a sexual predator for making such advances that anyone actually gets married anymore. Womean want men that are persistent. They want men that know what they want. Yet we now have the situation that men are so afraid to do that, that the entire relationship is now in the hands of the women, at least till men start bringing sexual harrassment lawsuits against them for being persistent.

I feel greatly for Cain becuase of this media lynching he's getting. I understand why he called it what he did, and I think he had every right to call it such. It sure seems like a media lynching to me. Even FOX news has joined the fray, repeating every charge that comes out with no investigation whatever before they repeat what may be the lies. Once the damage is done it's done. Will the media print any retractions? Somehow I doubt the media will do more than a brief snippet advising that new facts have come out, but as I said by the the damage will have already been done.

It is most certainly clear with the incessant hammering at how Romney is still our man that they don't want Cain. He's not the republican's kind of candidate. Why is it that they didn't report the romney situation more as he can't seem to make any headway in his campaign? Or maybe, it doesn't seem that he's really exciting the voters at all? Or maybe, "there's only marginal interest in Romney"? Certainly all of these would have been equally true, yet in almost every story about Romney there is nothing negative to say and they are constantly looking for the bright note in his campaign.

It is for this reason that I say the media  seeks far too much to insert themselves and their desires into the choice of a president. This is not their job. Even FOX News can't resist the incessant drumbeat that Romney still looks like the best bet to beat Obama. They refuse to admit that Obama is in bad shape and keep behaving as though Obama is still in great shape for the presidential run. Do they really think that Americans are not aware of just what Obama is? And of course again the question is why has the media done so little to report about his many socialist and communist relationships? Why have they not reported more on the many socialists and communists he has chosen for his cabinet? These are things that would normally destroy a candidate's chances, but there is still nothing on this from the media.

I understand how hard it can be to prove from a reporting perspective what a candicate believes, but it is certainly not difficult to report about the choices of people he's selected for his cabinet and what their pasts are. It is not difficult to report on Obama's past relationships as well as the various socialist and communist groups he's been involved with. Even out of his own mouth he mentioned that he sought out Marxists and communists to hang out with in college.

Romney has been a constant flip flopper. He proposed and got passed a health care bill that is almost the same as Obama's. He managed to find one way to spin it and the media has since dropped any mention of his healthcare plan. The media has ignored is pro abortion stances and his many other very liberal stances. They ignore the fact that in Massachusetts it is nearly impossible to get elected even as a republican unless you are extremely liberal.

The media, including FOX News keeps seeing for someone who is liberal or "moderate", translation has liberal leanings at least in some things. I believe it is for this reason that they hate Cain so much. He is what he is. He doesn't put on airs. He doesn't pretend to be something he isn't. He's a straight shooter. Yes, sometimes he has not handled the media as well as he might have, but even in this I find it refreshing. The media wants to demand what kind of candidate he's going to be and he reuses to fit in that mold.

The media hype has already started to fall off about the sexual harassment stuff but FOX News is still reporting on it and trying to remind the American people about it, as though this is still something they ought to be concerned about. The real question is, where was their investigative reporting to find out if the allegations were actually true. They just accept what the accuser tells them and as far as they're concerned it must be true till it is proven to be false.

They are also criticizing Herman Cain for his lack of international politics. I can't help but wonder how much experience in this area many of our founding fathers had before they became president. On the other hand our founding fathers didn't have their fingers into every international event going on. Our founding fathers made it quite clear that we should not be heavily involved in other nations nor should we have a ton of treaties making friends of some and enemies of others. Their view would be analogous to Switzerland. Either way there are certainly plenty of other very qualified people Cain can call upon for information. There is certainly no one individual who is completely up to speed on every nation's issues. A wise leaders seeks counsel. This is what the scripture tells us and the fact that Obama would seek counsel is just one more indicator that he is a wise man. Any man who pretends to have all the answers and is up to the job in absolutely every area on his own is a man I do not trust.

Angry Mobs with Special Privileges

Why is it that when it comes to the OWS gang they get all kinds of special privileges not afforded any other group? Is it because they're threatening to become violent? Threatening? They already are violent? Is it simply because they are the opposite of the tea party and as such should be able to do anything they want?

No other group or individual is permitted to simply set up a tent city in any downtown area that I know of, yet these people are allowed to do that with no permits and no charges and nothing whatever is done about it. They harass passers by especially those that disagree with them. They threaten people. There have been cases of rape and theft, they are unsanitary, and the list goes on, but nothing whatever is done to curtail this "right" that only they seem to have. The tea party had to pay for places to congregate. In many cases they were flat out denied permission. So why then is nothing done about the OWS crowd?

I believe the reason for this is that they support the liberal, progressive agenda. They are creating the chaos that the communists, socialist, and Cloward and Pivens group has so longed for. They are precipitating a crisis. This is something the communist, Marxist, progressive democrats have been working toward for a very long time.

I believe those in leadership who support this chaos as an agent of change of tied the hands of law enforcement as well as those in the community charge with maintaining order. The reason is that they have been looking for just this chaos and just this spark for a long time. We have not seen anything like this since the 60's. Then it was about being against the war, now it is simply about being against everything American. Why do we settle for this. Those of us that love our nation and are patriotic do not have some patriotic duty to stand for this. What they are doing is not merely the free exercise of speech. They are preaching the dismantling of our nation. At the very least this borders on conspiracy or sedition.

At one time in our nation these peopl would have been shouted down or shamed into silence, now they boldly proclaim the dismantling of our nation and nothing is said. These people have no vision, and no plan. Their only plan is chaos and as much of the destruction of our nation as they can manage. These tent cities should not be permitted any more than they have ever been permitted in any previous protests. If they want to sleep in the cold, or if they want to come back every day that is fine, but why are they permitted to simply set up tents and start living there?

Clearly these people have found sympathy with our representatives and as such have been awarded privileges never before given to any group of protesters.

Most of us have been patiently waiting and staying silent hoping they'll just burn themselves out, but what we don't realize is that these people are both useful and idiots, just want Marxists have been looking for. as long as they get paid to stay there they will.

No one should fool themselves, they are being paid to be there. Though I haven't seen any statistics on this, my impression off the ones I've seen first hand is that these people are nothing but the homeless people of our cities who are happy to have something to do as well as be visible. These are people who have had a sense of entitlement for a very long time and still do. They feel that everyone owes them a free ride.

Whether they are homeless or not they certainly behave as though they were. These are the same sort of people who try to hit you up for loose change or even dollar bills now. They act almost offended if you don't give them something as though they had a right to it and you were somehow being unfair if you didn't give it to them. They should instead have a sense of shame of demanding something from you without offering the slightest thing in return. It is not as though they have done anything to deserve it.

It is an odd phenomenon that people always try to act as though they don't have something to give to panhandlers instead of just telling them they don't want to, or even going the extra step of advising these people that it is wrong to live a life of begging without adding anything to the society they live in.

Our nation has become a nation of takers who have no shame about the fact that they are simplying users and takers who offer nothing to their fellow citizens in return. Yet what happens? Those who refuse them are the ones that are condemned instead of addressing the taker mentality they exhibit.
