"Real Clear Politics"

You all know this site, right? "Real Clear Politics." Along with Fox's claim of being "Fair and Balanced," we get another blatantly false claim. Both of these news sources are quite clearly biased, Real Clear Politics being owned by two admitted conservatives, John McIntyre and Tim Bevan, and Fox News being owned and directed by Rupert Murdoch.

I suppose that most news media leans to the left, in the sense that it reflects the majority opinion on the environment, a woman's right to choose, and other issues, such as concern for your fellow man, etc. I'm not denying that there are certain contradictions here; with a government such as the one we have in the United States, it's going to be a bit difficult to really show concern for your fellow man when we have a ridiculously low tax rate ((See here, and here, and here) please try and refute my data, I dare you) and we're told to go it alone by mother culture. The problem with the American Dream, of course, is that it certainly acknowledges the narcissism inherent in any individual divorced from a REAL concept of community, while ignoring the idea that perhaps we need these very COMMUNITIES to survive. We're a very group-based animal. Another simple way to put this, so that you understand: Jesus Christ dictates that we should treat one another better than ourselves. Turn the cheek, make peace, be meek.

The truth of the matter is that we're a bunch of selfish, whiny bitches. And when we think we're going to change the way abortions are done (consider before it was legal, when it went down in back-alleys, like in countries where it's not legal now), or that we're getting stepped on a little more than we should, its probably because all those rich Republocrats are able to bury their tax burdens in their LLC's and elsewhere, while the poor and middle classes don't realize that it's the nasty, two-party corporate system to blame.

People in Europe pay $8 for a gallon of gas and way more per pound of meat. We're spoiled, insufferable, misled whelps, and the "American Way" is a stupid farce. It's never been realistic and it will continue to grow more and more difficult until the average American realizes its not realistic, stands up, and decides that those on top shouldn't have this "Dream" anymore than we should - IT'S A LIE.
