....these are the people running our country, reporting our news, disseminating our ideologies and teaching at our finest Universities and schools?
I'm not talking about the Republican candidates - I'm talking about CNN, the Democratic party, Hollywood and professors from the Hallowed Halls of Academia.
On one hand they want to tell us they're the smartest and most intellectually open in our society. On the other hand everyone tricks and fools them.
Tonight is truly one of the crowning jewels going in to the court jester's hat: it seems that Keith Kerr a retiree from the US military who submitted a (rambling, long winded) question about gays in the military actually works for Hillary Clinton.
Wow - we're so (not) surprised. Only the people at CNN are. Yeah, I'm so sure that this guy not only getting a video copy of his question in but also getting handed the microphone to ask his question live was just a coincidence.
From what I've seen conservatives have never been in favor of gays openly in the military. Shouldn't this guy be asking Hillary Clinton is *she* is going to let gays in the military? After all, it was her husband who promised to let them in only to reverse himself and install "Don't Ask/Don't Tell". But he'd never get through the security guards with this question at the Democratic debate. Clinton is very tight about screening questions ever since her "I'm in favor of giving driver's licenses to illegals, but I'm against it too" answer at that Oct debate.
But I guess this guy just outsmarted CNN...which doesn't seem real hard to do anymore. Especially if it might make libs look good...not that I'm accusing them of bias.
But it sure is interesting that they always treat stories dealing with fake soldiers, unsubstantiated rumors about US military attrocities and questionable reports about global warming so seriously that they don't even think it worth looking in to the details.
And every time it happens, they smile gleefully and tell us what idiots they are. It's no wonder that no one trusts them anymore: they fall for everything.
Does *anyone* on the conservative side even care about gays in the military anyway? This is such a patently a left wing issue. Be like asking Democratic candidates how often they go hunting and fishing.
In fact I was listening to someone who made a really good point: did ANY seriously conservative topic get discussed at all? This was supposed to be a debate to decide who would carry the Republican nomination. I'm glad leftists will be making the decision for us.
Personally I would like to know if they're going to cut overinflated taxes, halt the over reach of government, will stand up to whining environmentalists, will protect the rights of average Americans from the UN, preserve the Constitutional rights of gun owners and people who question liberal philosophy in speech and print. None of these questions even came up, did they? If so I didn't see it.
How can the "smartest" amongst us put on such a crummy, luke warm exercise in stupidity?
