The Two Americas
MensNewsDaily ^ | November 14, 2005 | Burt Prelutsky

Posted on 11/18/2005 10:25:33 AM PST by EveningStar

...if a white person speaks critically even about black thugs, crack dealers and unwed teenagers, he’s immediately tarred as a racist. Blacks, on the other hand, are not only free to denounce whites, but they’re lionized for their efforts...

Another obvious example of double standards can be seen in the way the major media reacts to misdeeds, depending upon whether they’re committed by those on the left or the right. For example, ever since the election of 2000, the media has been all a-twitter about Cheney’s connection to Halliburton, but the fact that Bill Clinton was on more intimate terms with Communist China than he was with Monica Lewinsky barely caused a ripple of indignation at the New York Times or the Washington Post.

There are only two Americas? I thought there were at least 50: African-America, Hispanic-America, muslim-America, Gay-America, etc.

Holy crap! How did this guy get through the "unbiased" media filter and get to publish this?

Watch for open minded, tolerant, accepting leftists to demand this be censored.

Oh some of us remember everything.
The People's Republic of China obtained inferior ICBMs from the Soviet Union for years, improved on them and started manufacturing them for their periodic threats to destroy Los Angeles and other American cities.
Empty threats, since they lacked a critical component to perfect the delivery systems on their rocket-based weapons: accurate and reliable guidance.

Clinton, the First Rapist, released long-prohibited technology forbidden from exportation to China. As a result, Lockheed-Martin (if memory serves me right) transfered critical ring-laser technology to one of the most formidable future enemies of all free societies ---- China.

Not everyone has selective memory or a traitorous one...

Both Clintons are megalomaniacs. Their only allegiance is to personal power, not to America.

There are actually three. Conservative America, Liberal America, and Indifferent America.

In the present day there is most certainly two Americas:

The first prefers freedom, traditional values, self-reliance and self-determination, and treasures the guiding principles upon whcih this great nation was founded.

The other holds the mistaken notion that the great god government is the giver of all things, and is more than willing to surrender their God-given liberties for the promise of a "free" ride from cradle to grave.

I know what side I'm on.

I thought it was Loral, but make no claims to an infalible memory...

There were two technologies he traded for campaign contributions; the guidance tech. you spoke of and the multiple warhead technology.

The latter allows for up to twelve (if memory serves me) individual warheads on each ICBM. Each one could be nuclear, if desired to be, and if the ICBM evades our long range defenses the main warhead would separate in the stratosphere. Each individual warhead would (or could) then be individually programmed and guided to its own target. At this point one ICBM becomes 12 guided missile/warheads and would be less than 10 minutes from impact. That increases the difficulty of intercepting them by an exponential factor. Up to 12 US cities could be targeted with nukes with one ICBM. ... Obviously.

Thank you, Bill Clinton, you traitor-trash POS!

Besides which, Halliburton, in case you hadn't noticed, was doing better during the 1990s with a Democrat in the White House than it's done with Cheney just a heart beat away from the presidency.

Or compare the brouhaha over I. Lewis Libby to the reaction to Sandy Berger's destroying those classified documents he swiped from the National Archives.

The way the media sharks are circling Mr. Libby, you'd think he'd sold nuclear secrets to North Korea. Mr. Berger, on the other hand, who should be serving a long sentence at Leavenworth, received a slap on the wrist which essentially ensures that for the next three years he better not even think about shoving classified papers down his pants. And nobody in the major media raised a stink about his getting away with the equivalent of a parking ticket.
