My Hometown
My Hometown:
My hometown newspaper “The Palm Beach Post,” had an article today asking the important question; "Could President Trump Issue Himself a Pardon?" They acknowledged that there were no criminal charges against president Trump from which to be pardoned, but they found it an important question to ask, nonetheless, just in case some verifiable evidence of a crime should be found.
This is the same newspaper that ran an article asking for protesters to show up at Trump's Palm Beach residence, only weeks into his fledgling presidency. Here was one of America’s leading newspapers, actively recruiting protesters on behalf of the protest’s organizers. But, apparently, this is not media bias. Because liberals can't be biased, which is precisely what many liberals say about minorities in general—and, African Americans in particular. That the overwhelming majority of minorities groups, including African Americans, tend to be liberal, is merely a coincidence.
This, too, is the same media who hammer relentlessly, any story with a black/white racial theme, but only as long as the theme has black victims and white perpetrators. The myth of heinous white supremacists and black victims could be dispelled with greatest of ease, by simply looking at the FBI’s statistics for interracial crime, which paints a very, very different picture. Almost all interracial crime, from rape to assault, to murder, feature black perpetrators and white victims. The real numbers aren’t even close. But, in response, liberals can always default to America’s racist past, much the way they do after every weekly mass slaughter by radical Islamists. They simply invoke the thousand year old Crusades as an example of the many failures of Christianity—as president Obama did by example, time and time again—and “Voila” even the most horrific crimes can be excused.
This same phenomenon occurred, yet again, when candidate Trump was hailed as a woman hating bigot by the press. This was the same press that studiously ignored former president Bill Clinton’s predilection for rape, which he was accused of by a number of credible women, who also happened to be democrats.
Twenty five years ago, Hillary Clinton did everything in her power to discredit these women, because they were alleged to be the tools of woman hating bigots, an oxymoron so profound that one must engage in self delusion as a way of life in order to make sense of it all. President Bill Clinton was legally impeached, while he was still president for lying under oath. He was then stripped of his law license. In today’s America, however, he can’t be guilty because he’s a liberal. And, even if he is guilty, it was a long time ago, so it doesn’t count. This same logic does not apply to the crusades or slavery. The statute of limitations for such crimes never applies to liberal arguments, only conservative ones.
Similarly, Bill O’Reilly was accused of charges that may or may not have been real, and summarily fired, as the result. Fox News settled out of court, in an effort to avoid a lengthy, public trial, something that virtually all major corporations do nowadays to avoid a public relations bloodbath at the hands of media vultures. Let me be clear, I’m not saying O’Reilly is innocent. But here’s the real issue; Al Sharpton, America’s foremost race hustler, owes at least 5 million dollars in back taxes, but was warmly welcomed at the Obama white house as an unofficial “Consigliery” to Barack Obama. This was happening while the Obama administration was weaponizing the IRS against conservative groups. But, both Obama and Sharpton are black and liberal, so they can’t be guilty.
Al Sharpton came to prominence after making false accusations against the police in the infamous Tawana Brawley rape case, which turned out to be a hoax. The even more infamous, Sharpton induced Crown Heights riots, came a few years later, following the death of a young black child who was accidentally struck by a car, driven by a Jewish Rabbi. Sharpton spun the story to make it a racial issue and organized a riot targeting Jews. This led to the murder of an Austrian Jewish man solely because he was Jewish, and the killing of an Italian businessman because he looked Jewish. After three days of rioting, 152 police officers and 38 civilians were injured, 27 vehicles were destroyed, seven stores were looted or burned. There were 225 cases of robbery and burglary and, at least 129 arrests were made during the riots, including 122 blacks and seven whites.
After decades of acting as America’s foremost racial arsonist, Al Sharpton was rewarded with his own talk show on MSNBC and was ingratiated regularly to the Obama white house. Sure, he was a bigot. You can even find YouTube videos of Sharpton using outright, hate-filled racial slurs. But it needs to be remembered, he is black and a liberal, therefore, he can’t be a bigot, rendering everything that I just wrote, null and void.
I could go on, nearly into infinity, showing how and why the media spin the news to reflect their bias. Hell, they even outright lie. This will only lead to a response saying that Fox News lies, too. Meaning, you have your side, we have ours. In that moment, when all the evidence for lying is made clear, liberals will admit the obvious liberal media bias, but they will just as quickly deny it, once they recognize that it does them no good to admit the truth.
Of course, Fox News is biased. That much is evident.
Now, when liberals freely acknowledge the liberal bias that is observable everywhere else, then maybe, we can get somewhere.
