Forgive My Patriotism on Saturday, November 01, 2008 12:24:44 PM
When I lost a video game to my 10 year old daughter in 2001 and asked for a rematch, she said "
C'mon Dad! Don't be like Al Gore."
This struck me and I began to think. She does not even watch the news nor even speak of politics, but Al Gore's whining-3rd-grade-sore looser attitude was something she picked up on nonetheless, because it was on the television. Of course, now at 17 she is a powerfully critical thinker with an intellect to back it up. But the point is, just what has been said can be a powerful influence on what people think.
So then how powerful was it when the media deliberately told the public that the Florida polls were closed in 2000 before they actually were? Or when they called the election for John Kerry when it wasn't true?
I predict the Obama friendly media will jump-the-gun this election with these same tactics again, hoping that the momentum will trump wrongdoing. But if McCain still wins, there will be riots. And people will die as they do in these things. And the Republicans won't do more than try to smooth things over.
We are so nice. Leftists in the media have been doing both of these for decades and we just smile at them. "
It's Ok. We understand. Just got a little overly excited and jumped the gun." Has anyone gone to jail or paid a serious fine for this type of election tampering? Not enough to stop it or even curb it. That is the reason they don't fear to do it again.
You know, I consider a liberal pointing their finger at me as a badge of honor. I wish the Republicans would all take courage like Sen. Joseph McCarthy. Damn the consequences! Do what's right.
God save America!
