The Daily beast
-
Interesting article from the Daily beast, and yes Ron, it's predominatly a left leaning website so you need not navigate there.
-
The "sorry, dad..." article (sans some, but not all, of the McCain-past praise) expresses pretty closely what I think about the two of them right now. We'll see, huh?
-
Well, Pete, I did navigate AND I read it. You know, I'll bet you $100 that I read significantly more liberal articles and watch more liberal TV in one week than you do in a year. At some point, you have to quit drinking the Kool-Aid; it's making you dull and predictable.
I miss William F. Buckley. I would guess he would have liked Patrick Moynihan. Now there was a respectable guy. The Barney Franks, Chris Dodds, Jim McDermotts, Dick Durbins are not of the same mold. They are intellectual light weights by comparison. To be fair, some Republicans, most notably Pres. Bush, Orin Hatch and John McCain are no more conservative than Obama is. They too are intellectual light weights. Obama is not yet ripe enough to weigh in, so we can't include him.

You are probably right, I need to work for a living.

Good one.

Miss WFB too and I didn't really agree with him. Heard a great interview with his son. The words he used were so great. The language is wasting away without speakers like him. He certainly didn't feel a need to dumb it down for the rest of us. But he spoke so deliberately, you could read along if you had the right dictionary handy.
But Ron, the conservatives hear more leftist media and the liberals hear more right-wing media. Depends where you sit.

I agree this is the tendency. View the main stream media through an objective lens (hard to do, I know, but possible) and you'll see a distinct and not so subtle bias to the left. Notice the adjectives, the number of times an individual or entity is described as "conservative" or "right-wing" versus "liberal" or "left-wing", the body language. Think Dan Rather. Walter Cronkite, a liberal, didn't broadcast his bias. Nobody knew, or cared, what his politics were.
I am striving for true objectivity and honesty in how I regard American politics.
