It would almost be amusing if it weren’t so infuriating, watching the media quibble over Ben Carson’s 7th grade drama. An altercation in the 7th grade can not be confirmed. Whether or not he was actually extended a scholarship to West Point. There are actually people in this country who don’t think that the mainstream media are not simply a tool of the left. Or perhaps they do and they are quite pleased with the current Beltway media dynamics.
We have a president who states that he was a lousy student in high school, and apparently not too stellar at Occidental, yet he gained admittance in to Columbia, and wait for it….HARVARD UNIVERSITY! Statistically, the average GPA for Harvard University is a 3.85. It is common knowledge that it is a difficult university to gain admittance to. Obama has hidden his past as a college student. And if the media’s lack of interest in that isn’t enough, the man has spent enormous amounts of cash doing everything he possibly could to hide of all things-a very mundane document called a birth certificate. This is not about where he was born, this is about absolutely bizarre behavior from somebody who has something to hide. But like most unquestioning followers of this very secretive president, the media has never even asked any questions on this? Apparently it is not considered odd at all.but what is most perplexing to me is how no one seems to mind the “white lies” of the president, nor the current Democrat front runner.
Hillary lied about how she was named. She claimed that she was named after Sir Edmund Hillary. Apparently her parents were psychic because when Hillary was born, the famous explorer was not famous at all because he had not yet scaled Mt. Everest. That would not take place for another six years.. She completely manufactured a fantasy that she was under sniper fire in a helicopter landing in Bosnia. This is not only a disgraceful insult to the men and women who have suffered the trauma of battle, but it shows a complete disregard for the truth and a serious lack of moral character. And yet the media does not consider this to be nearly as important as an apparent fight Ben Carson got in to in the 7th grade. President Obama could not even tell the truth about how his parents decided to grace the rest of us with his existence (In the march on Selma), which of course is impossible, since he was born in 1961, and the famous civil rights march took place in 1965. This is not about something that happened in grade school, this was from a United States senator in 2007. Can anyone even imagine if virtually any Republican had said this or any of these lies thus far? Al Gore once stated that his mother used to sing the “look for, the union label” song to him to rock him to sleep. The thought of him being rocked to sleep and coddled at the tender age of twenty seven-is not only a little creepy, but another blatant lie that the media never held him accountable for. But why question a guy who created the internet right?
I could go on listing many more, but the point that desperately needs to made to an unquestioning American electorate has to be this-Haven’t we all been around compulsive liars-people who lie for no apparent reason, and upon this realization we avoid them like a Miley Cyrus video? That pretty much goes without saying, but I have to ask supporters of these past/present presidential candidates-are you really OK with this? Do you really froth at the mouth over Ben Carson’s 7th grade fight, or his recollection of his conversations concerning West Point? And yet you have no problem with all of the lies and secrecy that seem to be continuously generated from these biggest of players on the DNC landscape? If it is not obvious to anyone that might read this blog that the media is no more than a campaign mechanism one certain political party over another, then you are either blind by choice, completely disengaged or believe ethics have no place in any consideration as long as the end justifies the means. Unfortunately, I’m pretty sure it’s the latter.
The good news is people seem to be realizing what they have been fed for so many decades. My only hope is that this fickle republic that’s on it’s last leg will not forget.it.
