[Vanity] How Come?
Meeeee!!!! | NOW | Me

Posted on 09/01/2015 9:12:52 AM PDT by TBP

How come:

1. A white racist kills 9 blacks in a church and everyone screams to ban the Confederate flag, but a gay black man kills two white reporters and nobody wants to ban the rainbow flag or the African liberation flag?

2. Hillary Clinton compares Republicans to ISIS and nobody bats an eye, but Curt Schilling compares ISIS to the Nazis and everyone has a conniption (and Schilling gets suspended)?

3. A few hundred Black Lives Matter people march in Minnesota and they get plenty of media coverage, but over 20,000 march in Birmingham in Restoring Unity, retracing the steps of Dr. King's march, and nobody even mentions it?

And in light of all that, how can people still claim there is no bias?

Because the media is made up of teat-sucking communist liberals. They were too dumb to major in anything difficult in college, so they majored in the easiest propaganda field!

Dunno what answer you know, but the answer I know is that we've given ceded the media, politics, education and religion to liberals.

The answer I don't know is, did we do it because we're lazy, stupid or corrupt?

Given the people I've argued with over the years concerning these issues (people who masqueraded as Christians, mostly), I tend to believe "stupid" is the correct answer.

100% agreement and equal frustration as I have been saying the very same things! We have a majority media that is totally in the tank for the liberal-progressive LEFT! We have a low-information voting crowd that votes on basis of what they hear from the same and on gender and skin prejudices. We have a political class that, regardless of party, desires divisions in the body politic that insure reelection and political prestige. We have an Academia Culture that hates everything that made the United States a successful country; patriotism, Judeo-Christian values, striving for excellence and tolerance.

May God have mercy on us, we certainly need it NOW!

Because that is the slant the media wants us to have. Example—AJC ran a story today on how the how the jerk that executed a Houston LEO had mental problems in the past(presumably as an excuse), but no such stories on the Charleston shooter who also had mental problems.

How Bizarre

Written by Fuemana, Paul / Jansson, Alan Leo.

Brother Pele’s in the back, sweet Seena’s in the front
Cruising down the freeway in the hot, hot sun
Suddenly red-blue lights flash us from behind
Loud voice, “All move, please step out onto the line”

Pele breathes words of comfort
Seena just hides her eyes
Policeman taps his shades
“Is that a Chevy 69?”

How bizarre
How bizarre, how bizarre

Destination unknown, as we pull in for some gas
A freshly pasted poster reveals a smile from the pack
Elephants and acrobats, lions, next monkey
Pele speaks righteous, sister Seena says “Funky”

How bizarre
How bizarre, how bizarre

Ooh baby
(Ooh baby)
It’s making me crazy
(It’s making me crazy)

Every time I look around
(Look around)
Every time I look around
(Every time I look around)
Every time I look around, it’s in my face

Ringmaster steps up, says, “The elephants left town”
People jump and jive and the clowns then stuck around
T.V. news and cameras, there’s choppers in the sky
Marines, police, reporters, ask where, for, and why

Pele yells, “We’re outta here,” Seena says, “Right on”
Make your moves and starting grooves before they knew we were gone
Jumped into the Chevy, headed for big lights
Wanna know the rest? Hey, buy the rights

How bizarre
How bizarre, how bizarre

Ooh baby
(Ooh baby)
It’s making me crazy
(It’s making me crazy)

Every time I look around
(Look around)
Every time I look around
(Every time I look around)
Every time I look around, it’s in my face
It’s in my face

Ooh baby
(Ooh baby)
It’s making me crazy
(It’s making me crazy)

Every time I look around
(Look around)
Every time I look around
(Every time I look around)
Every time I look around, it’s in my face

Ooh baby
(Ooh baby)
It’s making me crazy
(It’s making me crazy)

Every time I look around
(Look around)
Every time I look around
(Look around)
Every time I look around, it’s in my face

The double standard is alive and well.

Leftists have no problem holding contradictory thoughts in their minds at the same time.

More likely that people of a conservative mindset are more interested in pursuing careers which are productive and beneficial to the wealth of the country, and themselves. If you have the skills and talent (and drive) why not become a scientist or engineer, or even a general contractor, electrician or plumber?

Those who can, do. Those who can’t, teach. Those who really can’t, manage.

Or maybe they go into the media.

Where they preach the envy of those who can produce.

Because you sin.
