So John Kerry is the anointed Democratic nominee and the president’s fall adversary. Great. Does this mean that we’ll start to see the kind of scrutiny that an important election deserves? Will this mean a slowdown in the media-manufactured rise of a once-unelectable liberal senator? And when will the media start examining the fraud that today’s Democratic Party is perpetrating on the American public?
Here’s a list to start with:
– The pandering paternalism that presumes to own the votes of blacks, Hispanics and working-class folks.
– The populist poison that insists people can have everything without paying for anything.
– The truly divisive politics of class warfare and talk of “two Americas.”
– The calculating incitement of hostility and outspoken hatred of anyone who isn’t in agreement with you.
– The cynical assumption that voters will believe fabrications about the economy because they don’t really understand economics.
– The insulting marginalization of 50 percent of the population, whose views are being demonized.
– The disgraceful insinuations that not only smear the incumbent president but diminish the office itself.
– The determination to adopt economic and trade policies that virtually every economist says will be ruinous.
– The unremitting negativity about the honor and promise of America and role of democracy in liberating the downtrodden.
This is what I have observed over the last three years, with a marked increase in attacks in recent months, mostly courtesy of the media.
It’s time the press stopped being cheerleaders and covert campaigners and started presenting unvarnished, objective coverage of both sides.
