Literacy for Liberals – They Need Help

Attorney General Eric Holder condemned Arizona’s immigration law (SB1070) but didn’t read it. Homeland Security Director Janet Napolitano condemned the law but didn’t read it. President Obama condemned the law but never admitted that he didn’t read (no one in the liberal media had the integrity to ask him). Thousands of unruly protesters poured into the streets to condemn the Arizona law, but none of them read it. Perhaps they were waiting for it to be translated into Spanish at the taxpayers’ expense.

It seems that the second biggest problem in the U.S. – next to the need for enforcement of immigration laws – is the need for literacy programs for progressive Democrats. The campaign could be called “Literacy For Liberals.” This reminds me of the famous slogan from the old TV commercials for the United Negro College Fund: “A mind is a terrible thing to waste.”

Apparently Obama was never able to avail himself of funds from that worthy organization, because his mind has not just gone to waste; it’s gone to ruin. Obama was, however, able to take advantage of taxpayer funds to pay for his college education. But he had to use the name Barry Seweto and pretend to be a native of Malaysia in order to qualify for aid to foreign students.

And by the way, why the hell are we paying for the education of people from Malaysia, anyway? American taxpayer money should be used to pay for the education of Americans!

How has our country gotten so screwed up? Answer: too many people voting Democrat. Hey, people, knock it off!

Media Corruption and the Missouri Slap-Down

If you blinked in August you missed one of the biggest news stories of the year. An eye blink, a few milliseconds, is all the time that the mainstream media devoted to covering it, even though it was the biggest slap in the face of a national leader since the Bostonians slapped King George by dumping his tea. The event I’m talking about was the primary vote in Missouri. There on Aug. 4 voters overwhelmingly rejected one of the main ingredients of Obamacare (the so-called “individual mandate”).

This was a big, big deal and a humongous news story, but if you don’t watch Fox News, you may have missed it altogether. Why? How can we be living in a country filled with thousands of news outlets but with only a handful that actually cover the news? Well, they all cover some news, just not the news they don’t like, just not any news that reflects poorly on their guy. Members of the media have become Obama proselytizers and propagandists. They report the good news (or take neutral news and spin it positive), but when something happens that makes Obama look bad, liberal reporters hide their heads like ostriches.

This cannot continue. America needs a free press. Currently, our press is free from government intrusion but not free from internal ideological corruption. The American press (media) is its own worst enemy. Newspaper readership is dying, and many blame that on the internet. But consumers aren’t turning to the internet because they like cold electronics better than paper; they are turning to the internet because it’s the only place they can get real news.

Newspapers and the mainstream media are dying because no one trusts them anymore. Why would you when the mainstream elites don’t even cover something as earthshaking as Missouri’s referendum? By ignoring stories like the Missouri primary, the mainstream media is slowly committing suicide. Consumers will not continue to pay for partisan non-news, and the mainstream media will soon die.
