And lo! In meretricious dress
Forth comes a strumpet called ‘THE PRESS’
Whose haggard, unrequested charms
Rush into every blaggard’s arms.
This lament was penned in 1800 by a Federalist poet who was more than a little angry that his party had lost an election to Republicans due to, by his reckoning, the missives of the press.
It appears little has changed in the last 200-plus years. As the 2016 election draws closer, the frenzied rantings of nearly all media forms are becoming as common as Bill Clinton performing an oratorical obsequity for some Banana Republic or half-crazed middle eastern dictator.
No matter what your political persuasion, you’d have to practically be declared mentally incompetent to deny the left-wing diatribe, vitriol, and prodding of Lester Holt during the first Presidential debate. Holt, a purported “journalist” must have been channeling a starving pit bull based on the way he went straight for Trump’s jugular—while practically licking Hillary’s face through the entire debate.
And speaking of missing it, how about CNN? The only way these people could further propagate a left-wing, communist/socialist agenda would be speaking in, say, Russian or Chinese. Seriously, it’s about over for what used to be known as the “unbiased press”. If you were to look up Democratic Toadie in the dictionary, you’d likely find a picture of Chuck Todd.
While I’m on the subject, what kind of person would name their son “Major Garrett”? Born in 1962, now a CBS “reporter”, Garrett came up through a school system that was already inculcated with ideology that the USA was actually a force for evil around the world, while denying the very Christian foundation on which this country was built. So, like many of these others, at least he comes by it honestly—the product of a totally dishonest education system in which bureaucratic layers of Federal propaganda were heaped upon local schools.
I could write an encyclopedia with illustrations of how badly America has been battered by the left. I am, however, hopeful that in this election Americans will finally stand up and say, “We’re mad as hell, and we’re not going to take it anymore.”
The feistiness (along with the slobbering and spitting) from the far left, and the return of fire (not literally) from the right, seems to indicate so. We’ll know in just over a month. If I were you, I wouldn’t put too much stock in the polls. It appears, like everything else he’s done, Donald Trump, always the shrewd businessman, has outsmarted the far left (and the press) by speaking directly to the American people.
If Hillary should win, it will guarantee that our children will never “live a better lifestyle than their parents”, as we continue to invite illegal aliens into the country and let them live off the fruits of our labor. We’ll add millions more ne’er do wells (along with those who honestly deserve welfare) to the rolls, and we’ll pay millions more to sit home with pretend disabilities (along with those who really deserve that help). We will kowtow to Europe and the Middle-East, and, who knows, we might even have a UN Embassy in Washington DC.
It’s now or never, folks. Do you really want to support refugees—while, at the same time, try to figure out which ones are planning to kill us at a little league game, at the mall, or on an airplane? This is an election for the ages. Vote like your life depends on it—it very well may…
