Wednesday.....Culture..... Mr. Smith (Wilson) Goes To Washington

Walter Cronkite was known for decades as the most trusted man in America. He admitted to bias at times and was probably just plain wrong many more times but I don't have a problem with that appellation applied to him by others when the CBS Evening News was his pulpit. Assuming that America recovers to a certain extent, and that is no sure thing, it may very well be that Congressman Joe Wilson from South Carolina of you lie fame may become the next most trusted man. Please let me explain. Are you aware that major movements in the past and present have actually contained instructions to lie, for it is excused because it are either doing God's will or merely enabling its glorious fate? Naming these movements isn't necessary for the issue here is that deception has been acceptable, even commanded at times. Considering the bailouts, health care, military budget cuts explained as strategic, Bill Ayers et al, the concealed birth certificate, school records, and Hillary's thesis on Saul Alinsky, Honduras, cabinet appointments, czars, endorsements from murderous dictators and oh...ACORN, is it any wonder that at least one legislator spoke out in in that august and venerable body? If in the future, we see our past 20 years in a clearer light, Joe Wilson may be seen as John Hancock was in sprawling his signature across the Declaration of Independence. As for the racist issue? There is another stratagem that has proven its worth in movements over the centuries and that is saying just the opposite of the truth, thus by its sheer absurdity, actually making points in a society not discerning enough to examine the claims. As for me...my time this past election was spent in pushing Condoleezza Rice as the vice-presidential nominee. If Republicans regain the Oval Office, I want to see Thomas Sowell directing the future of our economy. Are there racists in the Republican Party? Absolutely....probably about the same number that are in the Democratic Party but using them to cloud an issue is outrageous. I mentioned in a previous blog that if there is one thing good about Barack Obama's win, it is in the eyes of Black children and their parents. Am I imagining this? I don't know for sure, but in restaurants, on the sidewalks, in malls, on friends and strangers, I have seen a wonderful and marvelous look of pride and fulfillment on their faces. This has effected me so much that, at times, I was almost glad of the election result. The downside is that the candidate that brought this on has an ideology that is in direct conflict with 233 years of American history. The onus right now is on Democratic legislators and senators to see fully what has transpired and why, and themselves question the integrity of their party leaders.
