Having A Re-Run

I don’t think I’ve ever done this before on this blog but elections are next week and the fate of our Republic is at stake so I am re-running a post I placed last Friday evening.  Some of you saw it already and some of you did not.  I don’t think it would hurt to re-read it.  If you agree with what I am saying, please use whatever portions of it you want/need and send letters to your local papers’ editor.

It is obvious the press, the TV media and others want nothing to do with actually telling the truth about where their biases lie.  But sometimes we get lucky and our letters make it in.  All I ask is that if you live in my area and your paper is the St Pete TImes or the Tampa Tribune, please do not send this to them.  I’ve already done so.  To get another letter like mine would tip them off and nothing would get published.  Thanks!

Bias?  or Hypocrisy?

-- President Bush serves in the Air Guard and the media demands he make available ALL his military records.
-- Senator Kerry serves in the Navy and the media utters nary a peep about his records.

-- President Bush owned a ball team and an oil company and the media digs into his financial past demanding copies of his tax returns.
-- Senator Kerry never had a job in the civilian sector, owns 4 mansions, a personal jet, a yacht, pays only 12.4% in taxes.  The media?  Silent about demanding full disclosure of his tax returns.

-- President Bush runs for office in 2000 and the media demanded to know what experience he had for holding the job.
-- Senator Kerry runs for Presdent in 2004, has nothing to show for the past 30 years except 11 pieces of insignificant legislation and the media?  Silent again.

-- President Bush supports 2nd amendment right to own guns and the media goes apoplectic on him demanding a ban on assault weapons.
-- Senator Kerry spends 20 years as a Senator attempting to ban guns but when he goes hunting geese in a blatant effort to curry votes by pandering to NRA types, the media finds nothing wrong with that hypocrisy. And PETA??  Eerily silent, too.

-- President Bush talks about his faith and the media ridicules him; liberals go nuts about separation of Church and state.
-- Senator Kerry talks about his Catholic faith will guide him in his decisions as President all the while pandering to religious folk and the media doesn’t seem to find anything wrong with that.

-- President Bush says we’ll never end terrorism and the media spends days dissecting what he said, what he meant, what he said he meant, and 3000 other iterations on the same theme.
-- Senator Kerry says terrorism should be reduced to a nuisance and the media refuses to take him to task.

-- The war in Iraq does not go like liberals would like it to go and the media revels in writing stories about Senators accusing the President of lying about Iraq and terrorism.
-- Madeleine Albright, on a speaking tour attacked President Bush and uttered, “When Clinton lied, nobody died.” Basically her comment glorifies the act of lying as representative of what Democrats stand for AND she conveniently forgot those who died in Somalia, Tanzania, Kenya, Khobar Towers, World Trade Center’s first attack, the USS Cole.  She lied.  Maybe those deaths don’t matter to her.  The media?  As ever----silent.

-- President Bush has prisoner abuse (NOT WAR CRIMES!) at Abu Ghraib and the media demands the heads of half his cabinet and noises are made about impeachment.
-- Senator Kerry ADMITS to TRUE WAR CRIMES (hacking, slashing, torture, etc.) and the media?  Yep!  Silent.

-- Soldiers die while liberating over 50 million in Afghanistan and Iraq and the media is constantly decrying the “quagmire.”
-- Senator Kerry, when questioned in an interview about the deaths of American soldiers during conflict says this, “If you mean dying in the course of the United Nations effort, yes, it is worth that. If you mean dying American troops unilaterally going in with some false presumption that we can affect the outcome, the answer is unequivocally no.” Remember, Senator Kerry keeps insisting the US acted alone in Iraq!  The media?  Haven’t heard a peep!  Have you?

-- Democrat voters in democrat controlled counties run by democrat supervisors of elections are incapable of voting correctly and the media carries the torch of the Democrats who portray it as being Republican led efforts of disenfranchisement and voter intimidation although no proof has EVER been found..
-- Democrats intimidate voters, ransack Bush/Cheney Hqs, falsify registration forms, purposely (and in violation of federal and state laws) hold off submitting those forms until the last minute in a blatant attempt to swamp supervisor of elections offices, burn swastikas onto lawns of Republicans, bash heads and break wrists of Republican volunteers.  The media?  Complicitly silent about TRUE disenfranchisment and voter intimidation.

So which is it?  Bias or hypocrisy?  Or both?

I report.  You decide.

Note 1:  Over 80% of media types vote Democrat.  You want proof?  Dan Rather and the false documents story; Ted Koppell going to a communist country (Vietnam) to verify Senator Kerry’s war stories and NEVER interviewing ONE Swiftboat vet; Peter Jennings saying, “I’m a little concerned about this notion everybody wants us to be objective” when questioned about media bias.

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:

1. Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
2. Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
3. Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
4. Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.
