CNN drones slobber over my cheesburger in paradise

Tonight my family and I dined at Cheeseburger in Paradise. Across the room over the bar there was a TV set playing CNN. I couldn't hear it, thank goodness, but I glanced from time to time throughout our meal at the words displayed. Even that was too much. I mean, I can barely handle Fox News. This CNN was laden with drone liberals. Even the commercials were pessimistic propaganda.

You'd think that the election hadn't occurred yet.

Something about Oprah Winfrey and Sarah Palin.

Some debate over the choices Obama is making with cabinet selections.

Caroline Kennedy taking Hillary Clinton's Senator position.

Hillary Clinton meeting with Condolezza Rice for transfer of power.

Condoleezza Rice was being interviewed. She said how she admired Barrack Obama. I mean, c'mon, what's there to admire? I was feeling putrid and nauseous. I mean Bush's Secretary of State slobbering over this demagogue illegitimate felon; soon to be president elect who looks like an evil Curious George all grown up. Maybe if we helped him find the man in the yellow hat he would go home and leave us alone. I don't know if I can take it.

Across the bottom of the screen as Condoleezza is speaking is the title "Nation is no longer 'Color Blind'". I don't know what they meant, because since he was elected as an alleged colored man, that would mean that the nation does not see color. (I'm presuming they were referring to race here, as that is what the Obama campaign and it's drones kept bringing up) However, the title seems to imply the opposite; that the nation now sees color. So is the point actually that because of the election and the way the Obama Campaign played the race card, bating the other side to use it, setting up straw men that never came to be; that now the country is more divided on race and racial issues than before. Or, are they saying that perhaps there are some that still harbor such racist sentiments that they refuse to see and acknowledge the fact that their next president is actually at least partially black? I dunno. I read it a few times and even asked my wife; she just shook her head at me like I'm a loon, and asked me to not talk politics. Anyway, it would have made more sense to me if while Condoleezza Rice spoke about how she admired Obama that the subtitle below her would say that the country is no longer racist; that we are now color blind.

A commercial had big flashy words "Planet in Peril" and looked like it was pushing the global warming propaganda.

The big three auto makers begging for a bailout from the federal government.

Then the despicable Harry Reid.

There was alot about how Barrack's 21st century "new deal" will create alot of jobs.

Who's paying for this?

Where is the money coming from?

Since when is it the government's role to create jobs?

Our elected officials have sworn to uphold our constitution and defend our liberties. There was not one report of a congressman fighting to block a bailout; to protect our liberty from being violated by the illegitimate redistribution of wealth taken from us.

Is anything else happening in the world?

There was the terrible news about a fighter jet crashing into a residence in San Diego, killing two.

The quote listed in the header of this blog is an abridgment of a quote of Ezra Taft Benson. Here it is in it's entirety:

In times as serious as these, we must not permit fear of criticism to keep us from doing our duty, even at the risk of our counsel being tabbed as political, as government becomes more and more entwined in our daily lives. In the crisis through which we are now passing, we have been fully warned. There are some of us who do not want to hear the message. It embarrasses us. The things which are threatening our lives, our welfare, our freedoms are the very things some of us have been condoning. Many do not want to be disturbed as they continue to enjoy their comfortable complacency. There can be no neutrality! We are, or we are not, on the side of the Lord! (Ezra Taft Benson, 1973)
