Left Wing Media Bias?

Impossible!

Another Excellent Essay by Oleg Atbashian

This guy at the People's Cube is brilliant, and not only for his very funny website.

I've pasted some excerpts below from his recent essay:

"...To summarize, state-enforced redistribution of wealth in the name of economic equality will always split society into two unequal classes: the corrupt autocratic elite and the powerless majority, impoverished by economic stagnation. Its utopian goals notwithstanding, the main characteristic of such a society is forced inequality. In order to function, the state must stifle dissent and subordinate previously independent institutions that helped to erect the collectivist edifice, such as the media, trade unions, trial lawyers, and other special interest groups. All special interests are superseded by the interests of the state, represented by an authoritarian leader.

The only real choice before us, therefore, is not between economic inequality and economic equality, but between two types of economic inequality.

One is the transparent, volunteer economic inequality of laissez-faire capitalism, where people are free to choose opportunities that they like — but that also lead to predictably different compensation. Whether it’s the intense life of a CEO taking risky decisions, or the safe but uneventful existence of a government clerk, or the relaxed bohemian lifestyle of an artist — these are free choices based on what best suits people’s character and makes them happy, taken with full knowledge of the potential risks and rewards. The CEO, the clerk, and the artist receive different compensation for their work, yet they are all equal before the law, which protects their contracts with society and with each other.

These are not rigid classes; people can change their lives if they want to, and their children do not have to follow in their footsteps if a certain lifestyle or profession does not match their idea of happiness. Their material rewards are just because they are determined by the free market, and the differences motivate everyone to be more creative and productive. This system has brought prosperity, opportunity, and happiness to most people, making them equal beneficiaries of liberty and human dignity, as long as they don’t succumb to crime, drugs, or class envy...."

"Obamanoia"

That's how Victor Davis Hanson appaises circumstances in his recent -- excellent -- essay.

Some excerpts:

"Obama’s agenda polls less than 50% on almost every element. What keeps him viable is that the public still likes him and his family personally, and takes him at his unity/no blue state-no red state/can’t we all get along? 2008 rhetoric."

"Don’t they get the obvious: In reaction to that Olympian, above-the-fray brand, what does Obama do? He sends out two of the most unlikable, mean-spirited attack hounds to go after a news organization in Nixonian fashion, which only erodes the precious image of a kinder, gentler Obama—right now the administration’s only asset."

"One almost gets the feeling that Time, Newsweek, the NY Times, the LA Times, Washington Post, NBC, ABC, CBS, PBS, NPR, MSNBC, CNN, the Huffington Post, etc. are all not quite enough to balance right-wing talk radio and Fox News."

"The problem is that (1) it is always harder to defend a president than criticize him (as the liberals can attest from their 8 years of demonizing Bush); (2) those in the right-wing media are more populist and grass-roots than those in the staid left-wing elite media establishment. So Rush Limbaugh or Glen Beck can caricature Obama far more effectively than can a Rachel Madow or Brian Williams bow to him; (3) the traditional left’s homage to dissent, protest, free-wheeling media outbursts, demonstrations, and over-the-top commentary is now, to use a Nixon term, “inoperative.”"

"Somehow we went from revolutionary fervor to the boring Ministry of Truth in nine months."

Personally I found the left far more interesting when they were suffering from Bush Derangement Syndrome than Obamophilia."

Change you can believe in.

The Left's View of "Democracy"...again

The Chavez of the north rolls on with his socialist revolution.

I have to add that the mainstream media outlets -- whom I generally despise for their blatant bias -- deserve considerable praise for recognizing this serious attempt on the part of a president to declare war on a news organization.

'Like FOX or not, it's a member of the press...and, we still have a free press (lets hope we continue to when this neo-comm president if through "fundamentally transforming America").

This Is Becomming Downright Creepy...

Telling It Like It Is

Great!

I have to qualify this link a bit. Lord Christopher Monckton (speaking in this video), is quite informed regarding the great global warming scam T.M. and articulates his position well. I'm a bit skeptical regarding most conspiracy theories though. I don't think there's an "international communist conspiracy" to create a world government. Having said that, I must add that I don't think there needs to be one because the very people Lord Monckton speaks of certainly would hope that such a world system emerged and though they probably wouldn't call it "communism," what they're hoping for is just that for all practical purposes. Calling one's self "progressive," "socialist," or "champion of the working class" doesn't change the fact that one wants a powerful bureaucratic and highly regulated system that is collectivist in nature -- call it what you want, it's a dictatorship.

"The environment" has become the latest and obviously most effective issue for the left to impose it's will -- again -- on a gullible audience.

"Yes We Can" keeps getting weirder and weirder...

Wow!

...'just don't suggest that any of these clowns are communists or sympathetic to the totalitarian ideology that killed over 100,000,000 people in the last century. Doing so would make you a "McCarthyite."

Judge your president by the friends -- and advisors -- he keeps.

Lansingburgh Central School District Superintendent George J. Goodwin and America's Public Education System -- Clowns in Paradise

If you can't read this, thank government educated and "certified" public school "teachers," college Ed schools, teacher unions and, of course, politicians and their ruling thought templates in bureau-mind.

Here's a photo of a total complete idiot.

As someone who navigated the bizarre and meaningless terrain of America's public school machine I can testify personally that what you read of in the news article linked above is something one could expect amongst the less than mediocre fools who guide policy and curriculum in today's schools.

I can't say it enough; what a total complete idiot!...fool!...Asshole!
