Things may actually be far worse now than when Ronald Reagan took over. The American automobile industry was not facing oblivion at that time. The government had not endorsed the plan to nationalize the finance industry and who knows what else, we still had millions of citizens who understood how the real world worked as opposed to all the foggy headed fruitcakes we have now.
One thing is for certain, regardless of what the media tries to sell us about the current situation we are set to inaugurate Ronald Reagan,s worst nightmare, a totally useless marxist who hasn’t the foggiest notion how to do anything positive or any intention of doing anything positive. “Shining city on a hill” will be replaced by “flaming hell in a bombcrater”.
On top of all this I have to remember that my own father said, in the last months of his life, that the biggest mistake the American people ever made was to elect Ronald Reagan and he said this with President Slick Willie on the television in 1995. I actually feel sick when I remember it.
It is an understatement by 4 years - It's gonna be a long 8 years! He bought two terms with the initial downpayment of $600M and more is coming via the 501(c)4 scam that probably has few restrictions regarding campaign-like activities.
And how many positive stories did they write when they wanted McCain to win the Republican nomination?
The media shilled for McCain when they wanted a weak candidate, and they got one.
The media ran a better “Operation Chaos” that Rush, himself, was able to muster.
Obama was late to the game (the current iteration of which began during Clinton's term), and during the only two years of his Senate career when he wasn't running for president, he voted "present" (at best) on the topic, except for the famous letter he wrote last year. He's not 'responsible' for the mess we face right now.
Howell writes: “The op-ed page ran far more laudatory opinion pieces on Obama, 32, than on Sen. John McCain, 13.
McCain got 13 “laudatory” pieces from them? bullcrap.
Howell is lying right there.
proving her point and more...
I'm quite certain that Deborah Howell is taking it waayyy too easy on her paper's bias and activism.
If one were to examine the content of each piece, and to assign a weighted score in each category (e.g. from passive to fawning in the positive group, and from minor tap to nasty, lying slur in the negative group) then our picture of the Post's aggressive promotion of Marxist Obama would be more complete.
