From the perspective I’ve noticed while visiting relatives up north, I found the Media slant condemning Israel and painting them as the “Bad Guys” surprising. A local paper claimed it all started with the Israeli military aircraft attacks within the Gaza Strip. You had to dig deeper into the paper to find mention that those attacks came AFTER DAYS of repeated Hamas attacks on Israel. Looks suspiciously like the very same bias we saw during the general election, yet it leaves me wondering, “To what means? What are they trying to pull with these angles on the stories?”

It appears our Media has decided they don’t wish this country to support Israel any more and they prefer unrestrained terrorists and Jihadists over democracies. Why? Is it a matter of concern over sales and because misery sells more copy? To me this is a dangerous game they are playing. As if they are sanctioning lawless acts and the degradation of society as a whole. And what of the moral message this sends to our nation’s youth?

Seems to me that Pogo was right, “We have met the enemy & he is us.” Our own media IMO is intentionally endeavoring to become a threat to America’s national security:

- They offer verbal support and comfort endorsing those who act against America’s foreign interests, therefore emboldening them to further acts of outrage.
- Why are they not hounding Carter over his frequent meetings with Hamas? Or noting how unsuccessful those meetings (with no preconditions mind you) were in preventing what is happening now? Or demanding to know the details from those meetings?

- Why are the secret meetings between Obama advisors and Hamas being scrutinized more closely?

- As RenewAmerica asks, “Why would a church (Obama’s) print an article in support of Hamas? Did Obama know of this?” Why isn’t the media all over this?

- Why isn’t the Media looking more deeply into former Obama advisor (now under the bus) Robert Malley and his Hamas connections?

How many of you are aware that last week, Hamas enacted a Sharia (Islamic Law) criminal code for the Palestinian Authority which legalizes crucifying enemies of Islam?

You dumbasses are attacking Obama–WHO IS NOT YET PRESIDENT–for not moving on the Gaza issue, yet you seem to be giving Chimpy McBus$hitler–WHO IS THE PRESIDENT–a pass when he doesn’t move on Gaza.

Yes and if this was Bush caught eating something (before he was president) during a crisis the opp. wouldn’t be all over him in the slightest. *wink*

4 years my friend, history will tell this story. (Maybe if you’re lucky, you’ll be able to say to me I told you so). Provided of course that Obamas re-education (brainwashing) isn’t too severe. Never seen so much adulation over someone whose done nothing before.

Media at its best.

Such kind words, Missy. However I’d never waste a nanosecond of time on DW/DW5000/DimWit/DeadWeight/MikesDumbmerica. I’d rather clean my kitty litter box… LOL

Some I do respond to… when the bring up an informational point. But those like DeadWeight? Naw… never has a point but vindictive whining and hatred.

I had a discussion with my husband about the FA blog last night. He said we were wasting time trying to reason with the anti-Bush people, they won’t read let alone believe anything. I told hubby that every time the hosts of this site write a response to those unbelievers is like a gift to me and I’m sure many who visit here also appreciate the time and effort. Even though some may ignore the contribution many in here make, it’s like music to my ears and I thank all of you for the years of time that has been put into this wonderful blog.

Mata, you mean a lot to me and you have shown more patience than I could ever show and I understand and appreciate what you are saying, but realize one thing, you have a gift that you are sharing, share it and then ban the suckers.

@MataHarley:

Word.. you’re talking to “it”??? You know Dead Weight/Dim Wit/DW5000/DW doesn’t read.

You’ll note that I did not include the typical “so-and-so wrote:” preface to the blockquote. Sometimes my address isn’t so much to “he who must not be named”, as it is for the benefit of other readers lurking out there.

Since his comment was posted and not deleted, might as well feed it some yummies.

Word.. you’re talking to “it”??? You know Dead Weight/Dim Wit/DW5000/DW doesn’t read. Otherwise he’d know that the Bush admin is the only nation publicly condeming Hamas as the culprit, and telling Israel to minimize the civilian colleraral damage in their self defense.

But I guess his one brain cell was busy, figuring out where to put his fingers on the keyboard.

The point here is that Obama is saying nothing… either himself, of thru his mouthpieces… except there is only one President at a time to dodge the need to take sides.

Like that’s difficult? Side with the ally? Or side with the US designated terror group who broke the cease fire and lobbed the first rockets?

If he cannot chose to stand with an ally now, I shudder to think of what our future will be under this incoming administration. Perhaps with emphasis on the word incoming… in the military sense.

Fascinating:

You dumbasses are attacking Obama–WHO IS NOT YET PRESIDENT–for not moving on the Gaza issue,

And yet he’s “moved in” on everything else, holding press conferences from his “president elect” podium on the domestic front.

yet you seem to be giving Chimpy McBus$hitler–WHO IS THE PRESIDENT–a pass when he doesn’t move on Gaza.

I think a significant move on the part of Bush was in dethroning Saddam’s regime 5+ years ago.

Scott notes in his book, Iraq’s Smoking Gun, that after Saddam’s regime crumbled, and hundreds of homicide bomb jackets found, the number of homicide bus bombings in Israel declined.

While Europe, the UN, Brit’s Gordon Brown all publicly call on Israel to show “restraint”, and Obama twiddles his shaved ice spoon in Hawaii, at least we have a President in the WH who still shows leadership…. using official spokespeople to call on the offending party – Hamas – to knock it the f#*k off! To Israel? “avoid civilian casualties” please….

Obama? He can send out his mouthpieces to back seat govern on tax cuts, and relaxing travel rules to Cuba. But he deftly avoids the largest foreign policy event occurring. If nothing else, Obama should be standing with the current POTUS in telling Hamas to stop what they deliberately started.

If this is “leadership”, we are in for a long four years. Or else we are seeing leadership that has every intention of abandoning Israel for a “neutral” position. What an ally we’ll be….
