I'm tired of the media infiltrating its personal opinions into its journalism. American society has been inundated with the Leftist Agenda for too long. Too often are the liberal talking points considered the unobstructed truth, when in reality, they are the exact opposite. Last Sunday, in the Longview News-Journal, a liberal wrote a letter to the editor and spouted off talking point after talking point. I was ill after I read it. Every single item that was mentioned in his letter was a lie. Here's what he wrote:
Hold Republicans to same standard
"RE: "Attacks on Bush are unpatriotic" by Dennis Jones of Longview. I just wanted to remind Jones that while Bill Clinton was in office and our troops were fighting in Bosnia, Republicans were calling Clinton a rapist and murderer. I would like to remind everyone that Republicans Bob Ney and Randall Cunningham have pleaded guilty to taking bribes. Remember that Republican Mark Foley attempted, via e-mail and text messaging, to seduce a 16-year-old boy into sex acts. Remember that Republicans Karl Rove and Scooter Libby conspired to reveal the identity of a covert CIA agent. Remember that under Republican rule we are seeing attempts to repeal civil rights, trash the Constitution, and an unprecedented growth in government bureaucracy and pork barrel spending. No one is attacking our troops and commander-in-chief. We are simply holding them to the same high standards that they would expect of others. Standards to which, unfortunately, Republicans hold others while exempting themselves."
Everything mentioned in his letter has been proven false!! His information is not credible in the least! Yet, with all of his heart, he believes these lies to be true, simply because he heard it from the media. The American source of justice and honesty.
Here is what I replied last week:
Truth is skewed by the liberals
"Regarding the letter from G.M. :
This is one more example of how the media is disregarding the truth and is brainwashing America with its leftist ideology.
Here's some truth: Mark Foley tried to "seduce" an 18-year-old adult into sex acts. Nothing physically sexual was done. I'm not saying that's moral, but it is absolutely legal. Unlike Representative Gary Studds, who privately took a 17-year-old page to the Bahamas with him for the weekend. Mark Foley resigned at the first request from the Republican Party. When Gary Studds refused to resign after being censured by the House, he returned to a standing ovation by the Democrats. It's somewhat ironic how liberals are "simply holding them (Republicans) to the same high standards..." yet, when Clinton was taken to court in the Lewinsky scandal Democrats were saying that his sexual life was private, and as long as it didn't affect his job that he could basically do whatever he wanted. Why then, are they not offering the same privacy to Rep. Foley, who did nothing illegal?
Karl Rove and Scooter Libby did not "conspire" to reveal the identity of a covert CIA agent. Valerie Plame's identity was revealed by Richard Armitage, and even then she was not a covert CIA agent. She never was. Nothing illegal was done, yet Scooter Libby resigned anyway, as was the honorable thing to do.
We are seeing attempts to trash the Constitution under Republican rule. That's correct.
I'm seeing a nation where freedom of speech is being restricted in the public schools, where children aren't being allowed their First Amendment rights of the free exercise of religion by praying aloud. I'm seeing the Constitution being rewritten with such statements as "separation of church and state." If you look in the Constitution, that phrase will not be found. The Conservatives are not the ones pushing for that agenda, however. It is the Liberals who are twisting history to suit their agenda, when in fact, the original purpose of the Constitution was to protect the very rights that the Liberals are stripping away.
The President is indeed being attacked. Harry Reid has called him "a loser" in front of an elementary school class. That is indeed unpatriotic. We should be giving the President the respect his office deserves. He has been called a traitor by the likes of Al Gore when he screamed during a speech, "He betrayed this country!"
Bill Clinton was not a rapist or murderer; any Conservatives calling him that were off base. They should have been calling him an adulterer and a perjurer, since that is what he was.
Sadly, Americans are being spoon-fed lies by the media without researching the truth for themselves. A nation that does not think for itself is destined for failure. Americans have the power to vote and to make decisions regarding the future of the greatest country on this earth. Let's not waste that privilege by not being informed."
The Liberals are going too far. They have inundated the media too long. It is sad when talk radio hosts such as Sean Hannity are considered "radicals". Conservatives need to unify and take back the media and the political arena by storm. Let's join together and stand as one to tell the media that we've had enough of their lies. It's time for the truth to be told.
