Many are taking about waiting until the honeymoon is over with Obama, however, for me, I am thinking annulment!
When you go to bed for the first time after the wedding... only to find out that your supposedly wife is really a man, or that your strong and manly husband is an impotent wimp, or that he or she really is not a progressive, what honeymoon...these are grounds for annulment!
If Obama doesn't quickly pick up the liberal progressive banner and come through for all the young progressive democrats...this maybe the end of this Democrat Party and the beginning of a legitimate and unapologetic liberal third party.
Barrack Obama should start being president...taking care of presidential business and stop giving so many irrelevant interviews to bias, hostile, conservative reporters at ABC, CBS, NBC, etc. who can only come up with leading, subjective, and elementary questions. These networks are not content in just reporting facts; they have a need to manufacture, sensationalize, exaggerate, and manipulate news, events, and conflict. The major networks’ only and single-minded angle is to promote conservative republican debate, discussion, and opposition to any and all democrat or progressive initiatives. This contrived limiting of discussion solely between republicans and democrats is the main reason that things never change in America and why the absolute truth never sees the light of day. For the major networks to keep limiting discussion solely between democrats and republicans positions is to continue to undermine free speech and a free press. There is the republican and democrat position but there are many others and/or the truth. When democrats, republicans, corporate America, and the media are all sleeping in the same bed they are certain to share and catch the same communicable disease.
Thirty percent of Americans still rely on the Major Networks: ABC, CBS, NBC, PBS, and Fox for the majority of their entertainment, news, information while most others rely on cable, inter net, and other outlets for entertainment and news. The problem with this formula is that while only thirty percent of Americans still rely on these major networks for news, information, entertainment, etc. these networks frame, influence, and steer discussion, debate, and action on about eighty percent of all that happens in America and the world. For example, all of these networks lead and amplified Bush’s battle cry and charge into Iraq! Those who are most often surprised or caught off guard by national and world calamities and events are those ignorant and gullible Americans who are easily lead, manipulate, and influenced by the leading lies and misinformation put forth by these major networks. Then there are the passive and conplacent Americans who are too hip or cool to tune in to see what the latest scheme that Washington and corporate insider crooks are peddling on Sunday morning or in other staged discussions.
One of the greatest contrived attempts at control through reverse psychology is the lie and notion being peddle and spread by bias conservatives that claims that the major networks news have a democrat bias. This lie is authored and being circulated throughout "hate radio," republican, and vast conservative network. However, the whole truth is that ABC, CBS, NBC, FOX, and PBS’s New Hour are all nationalistic: America right or wrong, conservative corporate institutions. Moreover, the purpose of calming that these institutions have a liberal bias is to put them on the defensive so that they will refuse or exercise terminal caution in telling the absolute truth in order to appease their conservative republican critics. This was graphically displayed when PBS’s Gwen Ifill moderated one of the Vice Presidential debates and because of post debate charges of bias made against her by hostile racially conservative republicans, PBS and Ifell were placed on the defensive, submissive, and totally inept in that debate.
This tactic of branding democrats as liberal, thus eternally placing them on the defensive, has been an effective weapon for generations against weak democrats. This name calling has resulting in democrats like Clinton and Obama destroying most democrat gains because of their assimilating and adopting many conservative republicans policies and trying to reaching out to hopelessly bias, one dimensional , and racially conservative republicans.
Obama and most democrats just do not get it! There is no scientific, rational, or moral reasoning or logic behind conservatism. The republican party of Lincoln allowed southern racist like Strom Thurmond to infiltrate and poison this once grand ole party. These racist were the architects of this current conservatism and racism was their main doctrine.
Where is there any room to compromise with such bias red conservative relic and doctrine of the past?
I voted for Obama with great reservations. Bill Bradley, Howard Dean,or Dennis Kucinich would have made a much better president. Obama is to cautions in his blackness as not to alarm or offend racially Conservative America.
