Jeremiah 7: 28 "But thou shalt say unto them, This is a nation that obeyeth not the voice of the LORD their God, nor receiveth correction: truth is perished, and is cut off from their mouth."
I was watching television last week, just after the Hollywood media (ABC,CBS,NBC,CNN,et al) began reporting on Obama's encounter with Joe the plumber. I saw a tiny clip of Katie Couric making a comment that implied she seriously believed that this Joe was somehow planted by the Republicans.
I was absolutely astounded! To realize that there are people like Couric who believe that the Republican party could actually find out which street Obama would be walking down that day, and then move this man into the neighborhood years before Obama arrived was beyond bizarre! Are all liberals wearing their aluminium foil hats too tight?!
Joe asked a perfectly reasonable question, one we would all do well to ask. And he received a very telling answer. If it hadn't been for Fox News and Neil Cavuto, nobody would have ever heard the question or the answer. But once McCain mentioned Joe in the last debate, all of Hollywood News descended on him. Not to analyse his question, but to discredit him as an intelligent human being with a good question. Like a rabid pack of wolves they clamored to tear Joe's life apart, searching for a morsel to show to the whole world that 'such a person' could never speak for other average Joe's.
This is a Hollywood election, more than at any other time in our Nation's history. The Hollywood elite have footed the bill for Obama's campaign, and the Hollywood News has positioned itself as his full time spin master. The Hollywood News is an industry that thrives on the lurid, and depraved, both in reporting it, in building it up, and then tearing down the same people that they praised the day before. Truth isn't important, unless it can be used to make their point. That's why Joe's personal life was picked apart and posted for all the world to see, the hope being to detract attention from that question he asked.
It's an important question because it's rooted in business and 'jobs'. Jobs are the backbone of our society, and jobs are created in capitalism, not socialism. "Spreading the wealth around" sounds good, but it doesn't work. When success is penalized there is no incentive to succeed. If no one succeeds and grows a business that hires people, then jobs evaporate everywhere. And then what you have "spread around" is poverty, and welfare for everyone. But when no one is succeeding and running a business that pays taxes...who pays for the welfare programs? Hmmmmmm......

Here is a creative approach to redistribution of wealth as offered by a reader of the local newspaper, the Eagle Tribune.
Today on my way to lunch I passed a homeless guy with a sign that read "Vote Obama, I need the money." I laughed.
Once in the restaurant my server had on a "Obama 08" tie, again I laughed--just imagine the coincidence.
When the bill came I decided not to tip the server and explained to him that I was exploring the Obama redistribution of wealth concept. He stood there in disbelief while I told him that I was going to redistribute his tip to someone who I deemed more in need--the homeless guy outside. The server angrily stormed from my sight.
I went outside, gave the homeless guy $10 and told him to thank the server inside as I decided he could use the money more. The homeless guy was grateful.
At the end of my rather unscientific redistribution experiment I realized the homeless guy was grateful for the money he did not earn, but the waiter was pretty angry that ! I gav e away the money he did earn even though the actual recipient had a greater need for more money.
I guess redistribution of wealth is an easier thing to swallow in concept than in practical application.
OR IS IT.........REDISTRIBUTION OF SOMEONE ELSE'S WEALTH IS A GREAT IDEA..............or just a fool's political game !!

This is so appropriate with Obama and the distribution of wealth!
You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich. You cannot strengthen the
weak by weakening the strong. You cannot bring about prosperity by
discouraging thrift. You cannot lift the wage earner up by pulling the wage
payer down. You cannot further the brotherhood of man by inciting class
hatred. You cannot build character and courage by taking away men's
initiative and independence. You cannot help men permanently by doing for
them, what they could and should do for themselves. --Abraham Lincoln
I totally agree with you and your blog statement here. It is so frustrating. Like you I am disgusted by the crap they have done over Palin's clothes. Give me a stinken Break. And if I hear one more quote or comment from from couric or "the today show" or "good morning america" blah, blah and especially "The View" I am going to puke. Since when is Barbara Walter and her cronies become the "moral compus"! Good grief.
Thanks for all the great comments Nina! Really loved that quote by Lincoln. Wow, what a wise man he was. He'd be ashamed to know that Obama was compared to him by TIME magazine!
And that story from the Eagle Tribune...isn't it a wonderful illustration of what's ahead.
