| -- or because the media have grossly misrepresented what is going on in Iraq. I suspect the latter. I tend to believe not so much in the grossly misrepresented goings on in Iraq by the media as I do Democrats for playing politics with a war. If both parties were on board with the President and the outcome his administration is striving for, the media wouldn't have any blood in the water to stir up this feeding frenzy. Things that shouldn't matter such as a few bad apples screwing up at Abu Graib prison wouldn't surface and get more press than the Academy Awards. Four years into this war, I still have no clue 'why' Baghdad is still without electricity, sewage and other civil utilities. The press isn't reporting on this other than to complain that it isn't happening, and therefore, Haliburton must be reaping great awards from these people living in squalor. Any rational person would know intuitively that the President is doing everything possible to bring about a conclusion to this mess that is good for America. But the Democrats continue to hate this man so much they are willing to throw the baby out with the bath water. The rest of the world doesn't listen and read what these Democrats say and think that the Republican Party is out to get them and pray for a Democratically controlled congress. They hear that America is evil. The distinction of "liberal good", "conservative bad" that the Democrats continually espouse simply isn't what the rest of the world is gleaning from their speeches. We should stop whining about the media. All it does is give them further reason to dislike conservatives more. Instead we should simply stand up for our principles. If they are as good and righteous as we believe, how can we fail in the long run? |
