A GLIMPSE OF THE FUTURE

Two interesting blurbs in the NY TIMES recently. Remember as we head into election season, that democracy cannot function without an informed electorate. (Translation: if your ass is completely ig'nunt, you can't even know which candidate is best for your own fucking interests!) And how can we possibly sift through the government's propaganda featured on stations like the FOX without a balanced viewpoint from the left? I guess the NY Times would be considered the most prominent left-leaning paper, though of course, the NY Times and CNN (so "liberal" that some Ohioans refer to it as Communist News Network) have both publicly apologized for either not asking tough enough questions about the government's battle crys leading up to Iraq or in one case, actually misrepresenting the facts to make Bush's case for war seem stronger.

Now two of the latest from the NY TIMES via the Huffpo:

1. The liberal newspaper surprises everyone who is still able to think past sports, Oprah and PROJECT RUNWAY, that Bill Kristol will join the paper's staff as a columnist. A few of his press incredentials?

FROM HUFFPO:

Kristol, a prominent neo-conservative who recently departed Time magazine in what was reported as a "mutual" decision, has close ties to the White House and is a well-known proponent of the war in Iraq. Kristol also is a regular contributor to Fox News' Special Report with Brit Hume.

2. The anti-war republican candidate Ron Paul is smeared in blog which claims he has Nazi ties. According to the editorial, Paul has receiveved campaign donations and even appeared at white nationalist groups' dinners. BOTH allegations turned out to be untrue, yet the venerable old Gray Lady--no, not Lypsinka!--that's what they call the NY TIMES for some reason--noted her errors in detail. I invite you to check out some of the scathing comments which follow the TIME's retraction at NYTIMES to fully comprehend how betrayed the readers of the bastion of liberal news feel about this.

Granted, you can't be a republican candidate without having given speeches to a variety of fruit loops with a bible in one hand and a shotgun in the other. But why on earth would the NY TIMES want to smear the only anti-war republican presidential candidate--who seems to be raising a shocking amount of campaign dollars yet who is rarely heard from in the news or polls? In the spirit of that question, I beg you to watch the video clip below. It's perfect for viewing on New Year's Day, since it provides a glimpse into the future which is instantly sobering. Oh yeah, and HAPPY NEW YEAR! I won't claim that I'm overly optimistic for the future, but it is very empowering to know your enemies and the secretive fronts you aren't even aware that you are fighting them on. Until you've lost.
