Bill O’Reilly highlights a study by the Media Research Center which points out the abject hypocrisy of the Marxists in the Obama Administration’s Ministry of Public Enlightenment (aka the “mainstream” media).
From January to April 2004, the ABC and CBS evening news shows only mentioned Kerry’s wealth once each. And NBC didn’t mention Kerry’s finances or his wife’s wealth at all. Those same three networks have discussed Romney’s wealth a total of 27 times during the same time period in 2012. That’s more than 13 times more than the coverage given Kerry’s wealth (27 stories to 2 stories).
In 2012, NBC News anchor Brian Williams described Mitt Romney’s wealth as “unimaginable,” the product of “vast investments after a successful career in business, much of it spent buying and selling companies,” during the Jan. 24, edition of “Nightly News.” In the first four months of 2004, NBC didn’t even note Kerry’s far more substantial wealth.
According to Forbes estimates from 2004, Kerry himself was worth about $240 million. Teresa Heinz Kerry, his wife, was heir to the Heinz empire and worth anywhere from $500 million to $1 billion more. Romney’s estimated net worth is $250 million – or one third to one-fifth the wealth Kerry and his wife had at the time.
That’s the nature of Marxist class envy: not only hatred of successful people and their wealth…but very selective and hypocritical angst. If you’re one of the “in crowd” under Marxism, you’re exempt from the criticisms others face.
Marxism is the real-world embodiment of the hypocritical double standard seen in George Orwell’s “Animal Farm” where the pigs made rules for all the animals on the farm. The rules started out claiming “All animals are equal,” but before long, the rules were amended to give the pigs more privilege: “All animals are equal…but some animals are more equal than others.”
The Occupy Wall Street idiots and all other liberals who begrudge people the use of their own property would do well to learn these lessons. After all, if they optimistically fancy themselves getting a “pig” slot in their glorious socialist revolution, they’d better think again.There are very few openings in Marxist societies (as history repeatedly shows), unlike the free market where everyone has an opportunity to succeed.

This “broken” immigration system is by design. We can pass all the legislation one desires but if laws are not enforced, they are “broken.” And the design I reference has now become obvious with the “supreme” court’s latest unconstitutional decree which, if nothing else, supports this broken chorus! In a 7-2 anti Arizona immigration decision, these ill behaved black robes have once again turned their back on our law of the land as they assign more legitimacy to foreigners than to our Constitution.
Don't you just love it when liberals (selectively) thump the Bible to browbeat good people into going along with things the Bible clearly doesn't say or condone? Ohio Governor John Kasich is now trying to scam people into believing God is a socialist and He wants Kasich to take your property and give it to other people. Last time I checked, neither the Bible nor the U.S. Constitution gave authority for that.
GOP support for the amnesty bill is drying up like a wad of spit on the sand along the southern border of the United States. Interestingly, Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL), who was backed by the Tea Party when he was elected, has not only pushed this turd of an amnesty bill with the worst of them (like Demagogue Senator Chuck Schumer), but voted against securing the border today.
In case you missed it, Rush Limbaugh interviewed Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) on his radio show earlier today. There are RINOs, there are Republicans who disappoint and flirt with becoming RINOs...and then there are real Republicans. There is every indication that Ted Cruz is the real deal, and is a reliable Republican. He tells the truth, tells it like it is, and ticks off the "mainstream" media and other liberals something fierce.
Do you know what a "demagogue" is? Webster's dictionary defines demagogue as "a leader who makes use of popular prejudices and false claims and promises in order to gain power." Does that describe any politicians you know? Does that describe a particular political party that you've heard of?

"We don't intend to turn the Republican Party over to the traitors in the battle just ended. We will have no more of those candidates who are pledged to the same goals as our opposition and who seek our support. Turning the party over to the so-called moderates wouldn't make any sense at all." - Ronald Reagan, Nov. 10, 1964 |
