Why are You Now a Radical if You Stand up for the Constitution, the Rule of Law and Honesty?
A BUZZFLASH NEWS ANALYSIS
Not that this is an especially profound thought, but it is an especially pathetic situation.
To be a radical today -- by the standards of "conventional wisdom" and the mainstream media -- is to be someone who stands up for the rule of law, the Constitution, and holding an administration accountable for launching a failed war that they lied us into. This war resulted in Tens of Thousands of Americans and Iraqis dead and injured, and nearly a trillion dollars of taxpayer money and debt. Every American now owes $30,000 in national debt.
It is radical to stand up for our Constitution and honesty?
But it is mainstream to implement such policies, break the law, and not be held accountable. It is mainstream to continue to lie the same lies for five years and have the White House press corps, with the exception of Helen Thomas, nod their heads.
Is there something we are missing? Has the national press corps had a lobotomy when we were out mowing the lawn one day?
Someone please let us know, because we can't figure it out.
Unless, of course, some people high up in the corporate media are getting a quid pro quo for their corporations -- and in the case of some reporters we have seen cash payments.
Of course, no such thing could happen in a nation with a free press. That would just be too radical a thought?
Right?
