Apologize for what?

I guess Mark Halperin needed to apologize to keep his job. His crime? He said the the President was "kind of a dick" at the press conference. And...

The Republicans better roll up their sleeves and get ready for some serious mud slinging from the mud-slinger in chief, President Richard Obama. Obama WILL use the straw man of "the  rich" until the day he dies. I have no allusion that the propaganda wing of the Democratic party represented by ABC, NBC, CBS and almost every news organization out there will call out the President on anything. I mean let's get real here. The POTUS is a community organizer trained in the Alinsky manner of class warfare. He will seek to alienate the Republicans by any means necessary. 

Why did Mark Halperin say the President was being "kind of a dick"? Because he was! The President is pretty good at talking smack. Ask Donald Trump. After being roasted by the President of Smack at a White House dinner that he was a guest of the Donald decided not to run for President. The President was kinda of a Richard that night too, but, he gets a free pass from the press because he's their boy. Don't imagine for a moment that the likes of George Stephanopoulos will put together the fact that the sacred cows of the Republican party like lower taxes and less government are the very opposites of the Democratic party. Not going to happen. Will they ask President Obama if HE takes advantage of or benefits from any tax breaks? No. Will they ask him if his political appointments are tax cheats? Oh no.

Message to Mark Halperin, thanks but no thanks, no apology necessary. Thanks for calling it like it is.

Why the Media Struggles with the Tea Party

Why is it so hard for the media to grasp the Tea Party? It’s not like they are using a cipher code to send out their message. The message seems pretty simple to me: Be a representative of the people or be voted out. Stick with the constitution, meaning shy away from “interpreting” what the constitution means, or be voted out.

I think the real struggle for the media is that they (the media) have become so far removed from the reality of life and they are surrounded by themselves that they can’t tell they are knee deep in their own crap. I mean look at George Stephanopoulos who is a political commentator for ABC. Are you kidding me? Just put a skirt on him and give him pompoms! He’s a cheerleader for the Democratic Party, without the ability to be fair or unprejudiced. Wikipedia tells us that, “Prior to joining ABC News, he was a senior political adviser to the 1992 U.S. presidential campaign of Bill Clinton and later became the White House Communications Director.” For heaven’s sake he worked for Wild Bill Clinton! That is just one example of the obvious bias of the propaganda wing of the Democratic Party also known as network news. They don’t get it because they think they are the keepers and guiders of all social upheavals and struggles.

The Tea Party is about normal American citizens who are tired of their elected representatives not representing them. That includes Republicans who the have failed to push conservative values and agenda items. This is different than the lame Coffee Party (where are they?) which only came into being to try to counter the Tea Party movement and not to question the motives and action of their own Democratic leadership.

 Memo to the media: Start telling the truth and showing both sides fairly or eventually we will watch another channel, listen to another radio station and use the internet to find unbiased or at least alternate coverage.
