Obama attacks us all
Editor,
“Call Northside 777” is movie about what I think a reporter should be. Jimmy Stewart’s character was tenacious about the truth.
Today reporters call themselves journalists, but don’t seek truth. Some take the words of bloggers as gospel. Hannity is conservative and O’Reilly is independent, both commentators.
The news readers on Fox News don’t inject their views, but on many issues there are opposing sides that they elicit controversy from.
If you have never watched Fox, try it for a week along with your regular news. All of the people on Fox try to be accurate and will utter a “mea culpa” just as a paper does.
The press nitpicks or makes up things about Mitt Romney or any Republican, but lets President Obama off when it comes to gaffes. Anyone remember Obama saying there are 57 states, or illogical words of Joe Biden? We want to hear what candidates have to say and don’t care how many mistakes they say; we all put our foot in our mouths and understand.
Obama said business didn’t get there on their own. That goes for all of us; we had the same teachers, use the same roads and bridges and also pay taxes for upkeep on roads that were built before I was born. With all the gas taxes, our roads should be pristine.
What a joke. It was private builders that repaired the Golden Gate Bridge under the allotted time after the earthquake. Who is to blame for not dragging it out as a government entity would do?
So many in the media wrote off the TEA Party as immaterial, but recent events have increased our numbers. We’ve been accused of being subversive. Brian Ross on ABC saying the Aurora shooter was in the TEA Party was a new low in journalism on purpose.
Chic-fil-A is under attack for what the owner said about marriage being between a man and a woman. He has a right to his ideas and speech. Many of us believe in man/woman marriage. At a time when straights are opting to live together, gays want to marry. For the mayors to come out and basically threaten the chain, shows their intolerance.
Many Americans don’t ascribe to the Liberal intolerance. Just who gave them the right to tell the rest of us what to say or think? All of us did by not challenging them when this all started years ago. Their intolerance is aimed at Christians and Jews, but the Asian religions should stand with us, or they might be next. Only Islam and atheists are OK.
Obama has a terrible record and camouflages it by attacking all of us.
