Media Malpractice

I
stumbled on this documentary quite by accident. By the way, that is the name of it, “Media Malpractice,” produced
by John Ziegler in 2009. I challenge
anyone who hasn’t seen it to look it up and watch it. I found it commercial free at Netflix, and streamed it. If you have to, buy it and watch it. It will not be money or time wasted.
Let
me pause here for a moment and say this:
I was NOT a supporter of John McCain in the 2008 primary campaign. I did NOT vote for him in my state’s
(Alabama) primary election. By the time
of Alabama’s primary, my chosen candidate, Duncan Hunter, was off the ballot,
so I voted for Mike Huckabee, the lesser of the evils. Now, just so you don’t think that I am a
completely uninformed voter, let me say this:
Duncan Hunter hailed from a previous “home state” of mine,
California. I lived for a total of over
14 years in the state – a portion of which was in Duncan Hunter’s
district. I lived in Phoenix, Arizona for over 16 years,
during which time I voted for John McCain for Senator multiple times because he
was the lesser of the evils. I knew him
to be patriot, and always more moderate than my first choice. To be absolutely fair, the only time he
showed ANY “maverick” blood to me was when he chose Sarah Palin as his running
mate in the 2008 presidential election.
When
John McCain was selected as the Republican nominee in the presidential race, I
was less than enthusiastic about his chances against the Democrat. With all the stories flying around about
McCain’s choice being almost equally brilliant and stupid, it was a fun
time. For myself, I can only say that I
was absolutely flabbergasted that he actually did it – and I was extremely
pleased with his choice. I was already
aware of Palin and considered that she was the only smart choice if McCain was
to have any chance to win.
If
not for the media malpractice and the deliberate sabotage by the Republican
Party elite, we would have elected the first woman Vice President in 2008, and
the country today would be many times better off for it.
I
don’t say all this lightly. I don’t
sell my vote nor cast it in ignorance – and neither will I in the 2012 election
if I am still alive then.
I
would like to address the balance of this article to conservative voters, who
may be starting to formulate their opinions of various candidates who may run
in 2012. You may choose to be swayed by
that same party elite that torpedoed “your” ticket in 2008 and seek out another
“more qualified” candidate to throw your support behind. But I will stick my neck way out here and
say this: unless Sarah Palin decides to
run for president, the Democrats will have the Whitehouse for four more years!
Now,
if I were Sarah Palin, I wouldn’t touch it with a ten-foot pole! There is no way I would even consider
running for elected office again – as anything! The treatment she has received by members of her own party is deplorable
– not to mention the liberal hacks that she has had to deal with. Also remember that half the electorate are
women, and women are the most fickle of supporters on the face of the earth -
as a collective of course. Plenty of
women will never understand a Sarah Palin or be willing to give her the time of
day. That includes conservative women
as well as liberals.
Maybe
I speak from a unique perspective, but I believe everything I say here. Strong women scare the snot out of most
other women. Any woman who dares to
walk beside instead of behind, because she is truly capable of it, is a threat
to the feminist mind and the foolish male ego alike. Strong women know better than weak ones (and their foolish male
counterparts) their own limitations, and they appreciate, perhaps better than anyone
else, the absolute value of freedom!
Let’s
take stock for a minute just what we would be getting with a Sarah Palin
candidacy for president. This is a
woman who falls outside the norm for the modern American. Her parents supplied her with an intact
family environment growing up, and that family is still unbroken. She has made her own intact family unit –
unbroken – and has given birth five times.
That is over double the norm by the way. (I can identify with that one personally.) The fact that her oldest daughter had a
child out of wedlock is a symptom of modern times more than an indictment of
her personal failings. Sarah certainly
didn’t abandon her daughter, and her daughter did NOT abort her child. (Both would have been easily reconciled in
the modern court of public opinion.) Neither
did Sarah Palin choose to abort her own son, even knowing that he would be
handicapped. (This is the real sticking
point for the weak women and their foolish male counterparts.) One last thing I will mention – Sarah Palin
can provide for her family. Personally
if need be. She can also defend them
with her life, and do it adequately with no hesitation.
If
I have to explain that last statement, then you just don’t get it.
That,
ladies and gentlemen, is the crux of a viable, serious, and more than adequate
candidate for leader of the free world.
We
also get the bonus of years of professional experience as a chief executive in
different formats. Contrary to media
bias and elite opinion, Sarah Palin is well informed and firmly in touch with
American exceptionalism. Last but not
least, in a country that elected the “first black president” last time out, and
proceeded to break its arm patting itself on the back, do you really think that
the same electorate would be willing to pull a lever for a stereotypical,
white, male politician two years from now?
Wake
up, Republicans! You have the real deal
right in front of you, and her name is Sarah Palin. You’d better hope that she is still willing to do battle for you!
Food
for further thought: It doesn’t really
matter how badly Obama performs over the next two years at his job as president
– as long as his campaign is handled as well as his last one, he will win
reelection. As long as the media
malpractice continues to the degree that it did before, the negative actions,
words, and character of this man will be covered up, (i.e. remember he said
he’d visited 57 states – only one example of many) and he will be deemed as
highly qualified to lead this country as he was before. Meanwhile we have the hated ex-president
Bush and some members of his family commenting that Palin is “unqualified,” and
the media lapping it up as Gospel.
Those latching onto the “unqualified” mantra when describing Palin have
always stunk to high heavens. The
United States Constitution lays out very nicely for us all the EXACT
qualifications necessary for the position of president.
Question: who do these people think they are?
Finally – just to show that I have been
consistent, read this and tell me I was wrong!
