Our culture sinks relentlessly into an abysmal preoccupation with gays, transsexuals, drug addicts, and other sundry oddities of life
Seventeen GOP candidates for president of the United States paraded in front of us in Cleveland as elsewhere on August 6th. The establishment media crowed enthusiastically to the viewers about the import of this gathering to our lives as Americans. Chris Wallace and his fellow questioners milked the affair for all the drama they could squeeze from it.
Unfortunately this two-tiered debate was just one more exercise in the miserable irrelevancy of the media’s handling of “political affairs” in America today. With each passing year the nation drifts deeper into economic ineptitude, a macabre government intervenes further into all the nooks and crannies of our lives, and our culture sinks relentlessly into an abysmal preoccupation with gays, transsexuals, drug addicts, and other sundry oddities of life. Decadence and despotism loom all around us. There are scores of monumental issues that need to be discussed today openly and fervently by our media. But instead we got irrelevancy and default on the real problems that our country and culture face. Why were not the following paramount issues presented to the candidates in depth?
Don’t often agree with this (and some other) sites as I feel they go way to far into the “conspiracy theory” field ... but Amen to this.
No, that's not what he said. What he said was the rate of growth in the money supply should match the rate of change in GDP. He said that, if there are 4% more goods flowing through the economic system, it takes 4% more money to buy them and maintain stable prices. Just another example of how the MSM doesn't understand the issue(s) at hand, but tries to convince people they do. Journalism in the true sense of the word is dead.

What following paramount issues? You posted the entire article, did you not? As we all see - NOTHING followed this last sentence.
You are a lazy incompetent blogpimp.
He's been nothing but a blogpimp for his entire FR existence - but I think he failed to mark his excerpt as such not through incompetence but in an attempt to disguise his blogpimping (perhaps from automated checks by site administration).
