AARP-The American Association of Retired People sold their soul to the Democrats a long time ago. They scream bloody murder when Bush announces his Social Security reform program but you don’t hear a peep out of them when Clinton raises taxes on their Social Security income.
NOW-The National Organization of Women, a darling of the main stream media rarely supports Conservative or Republican women. In spite of this record the media regularly seeks their opinion on current issues, in spite of the fact that there are much larger and more representative Women’s groups available. How can anyone take a supposed women’s advocate group that has supported womanizers like Bill Clinton and Edward “Ted” Kennedy seriously?
The Old Main Stream Media-the major news networks, newspapers and national news magazines lost all credibility when they allowed the progressive agenda to dominate their news coverage as well as their opinion and editorial pages. Their refusal to provide balanced coverage of the War on Terrorism, refusal to vet Obama and other Democrat candidates and their antagonistic approach to anything Conservative while parroting the Democrat talking points is proof enough for me.
NPR & PBS-Here we have elements of the media supported financially by the Public that betray their trust daily by their radical partisanship in programming and “news coverage”. Their firing Juan Williams for not being liberal enough was the last straw. Did you hear their lame excuses?
Major Unions-This gets a little sticky. When the Democrats gave the unions veto power over major elements of their party platform they abdicated their former position of power over one of their major sources of campaign finances. When you consider the blatant gifts Obama has made to these unions it becomes difficult to figure out which is the dog and which is the tail.
Black ”Leaders”-Those individuals who have been anointed by the media rather than elected by their constituents and charged by the Democrat Party to deliver the Black vote. There are an abundance of Black leaders who place the best interest of their people above glorification by the media who never receive the publicity their works deserve. Instead the media chooses to focus their attention on the crazies who claim the Government blew up the levees in New Orleans. Bill Cosby was a darling of the media until he started to tell his Black audiences the truth. The attempts to assassinate his character, a stock in trade of the Democrat Party, followed immediately. Katrina gave us a good look at the abject poverty rampant in a city controlled by Democrats for decades. I guess it’s in the best interest of the Democrat Party to keep the inner city Black populations beholden to them for their meager existence. These “leaders” are quick to lead a march to protest almost anything but when was the last time you heard one of the current crop of “Black Leaders” of marching to support a Black mother forced to send her children to a substandard school?

About Me
I’ve been publishing and editing regional magazines and weekly newspapers for over 30 years and have been writing Real Estate, Sports, Political and General Interest columns in “View From The Street” for more than 40 years.
During the past several years I’ve read a number of books by Conservative, Libertarian, Republican, Independent, and even Progressive writers that I felt obligated to pass on to friends, relatives, and acquaintances. I made it a point to follow up these gifts only to learn that most of the recipients never got past the first chapter for a variety of reasons. Most often I was told that the writer failed to catch the interest of or convince the reader of the soundness of their argument and thus lost the opportunity to gain a supporter.
While many have questioned my style, I’ve consistently been able to gain the attention of any audience and most of the time get my point(s) across. I may split an infinitive, dangle a participle and frequently use a comma to allow my readers to catch a breath, but readers of my columns never had any doubt about where I stood on any subject.
I’m a fiscal and social conservative all the time, a Republican most of the time and oppose the ACLU and other “progressives” even in my sleep. I support the Melting Pot approach rather than the Diversity fad and have never learned how to stand mute in the face of idiocy.
I’ve been motivated by the number of LIES the general public has come to accept as fact, simply because they have been repeated ad nauseam by the media and others. Readers may love me or hate me, but I’ve yet to meet anyone who was indifferent to my columns.
