ETHICALLY CHALLENGED AND MORALLY BANKRUPT

The tea party/Republican party’s hypocrisy was never more evident when it was found out that Sen. Ted Cruz the darling of the tea party was born in Canada to an American mother and Canadian father. There is a tea party woman who has been raving for years that President Obama is not an American, and constitutionally can’t be President.  Why you may ask?  She claims that President Obama’s mother who is American married a man who wasn’t, and she claims he was born in that foreign country.  Of course this has been proven false. When questioned about the similarity of Cruz’s situation and the President she said she doesn’t think of Canada as foreign soil, so it’s okay that Cruz runs for President.  It just shows the alternative universe these kinds of people live in.  The only thing real to them is their prejudices and hate.  Facts don’t matter. They lie at every turn, and then say it was taken out of context if questioned.  They just move on to the next made up conspiracy.  Time to ignore these loons.

EYE OFF THE BALL

The media in this country are not doing their jobs.  They are fixated on sex.  Whether it’s gay marriage, which is basically a battle won, or their obsession with Anthony Weiner of New York.  Weiner’s fate will be decided by the voter’s like it should be.  The mayor of San Diego, Filner who is accused of groping women should be impeached or forced to resign or left in office.  It’s up to the people of San Diego.  Where the press is dropping the ball is in the cases of Governor Bob McDonald of Virginia who wants to tell you how to live your life, and claims to be a good Christian.  He has been caught taking money and gifts from a con-man, which at first he denied taking, but now he says he will pay it back.  This guy should be indicted and put in jail for taking bribes.  How about the Governor of North Carolina a man who lied to the people when he said he wouldn’t sign any new antiabortion laws before the election and then does sign one.  Why aren’t the news people pointing out the hypocrisy, and illegal things they are doing?  This goes back to Governor Scott Walker of Wisconsin and his acolytes who stripped public unions of some of their rights.  Tom Brokaw of all people said the people of Wisconsin shouldn’t be surprised because Walker campaigned saying he would do that.  Walker never campaigned on that.  Brokaw and people like him didn’t do their homework.  The news networks and newspapers are in the pockets of big business.  Of course there are exceptions.  There are people who are trying to investigate, but they are being drowned out by the company line.
