A Question of Judgment?

During the last few days it has become quite clear, for any with eyes to see and ears to hear, that the "mainstream media" has lost any semblance of credibility . . . that is, if it even had any credibility left to lose in the first place. There is absolutely no attempt being made to be unbiased reporters or journalists. Instead, the "mainstream media" is nothing more than a lap dog for the Democrat Party and the leftist groups it is beholden to. Since the announcement last Friday by Republican Presidential nominee John McCain that he was choosing Sarah Palin, governor of Alaska, to be his running mate in this Presidential sweepstakes, the "mainstream media" has done everything in its power to destroy this woman and her family. Three, yes, three, front page, above-the-fold stories about the pregnancy of 17 year old Bristol Palin were ran yesterday in the New York Times, and we are now supposed to believe that the Boston Globe suddenly is worried about and cares about teenage pregnancies. Bristol Palin, 17 year old daughter of Sarah and Todd Palin, is expecting a child and the left wing "mainstream media" is "concerned" that Palin is not spending enough time with her family. I see no concern on the part of the "mainstream media" that Barack and Michelle Obama are not spending enough time with their young daughters, however. Why are the women of NOW silent and not voicing their outrage and disdain at the treatment of Sarah Palin compared to that of Obama? Why the double standard? Could it be that the women of NOW do not care one iota about how Conservative women are treated, and that sexism is only a problem if it is happening to a leftist such as themselves? But wait, we already know the answer to that. Just ask Juanita Broaddrick and Paula Jones.
Chelsea Clinton and her life was always off limits, and rightfully so, but when it comes to a Conservative woman ahd her family the "mainstream media" has declared open season. Bristol Palin is taking responsibility for her actions and planning on marrying the father and keeping her baby instead of having it murdered in her womb, and her family is supporting her in her right decision. But according to the "mainstream media" the responsible thing would have been for her to have had it aborted, which is their nice little word they use to mislead what is actually happening: An innocent child is being murdered.

We are now supposed to believe, however, that because John McCain selected Sarah Palin as his running mate, a woman who has a 17 year old unmarried, pregnant daughter whose family is standing by her with lover and support, that his "judgment" is now brought into question. So let's take and llok at teh judgment (or lack thereof) of Barack Obama since the "mainstream media" has no inclination to do so.

Barack Obama's judgment was that he should have as his mentor and spiritual adviser the "Reverend" Jeremiah Wright, a racist who refers to the country that Obama wants to be President of as "the U. S. of KKK America!" This "spiritual man" also shouted from the pulpit as the raucous crowd cheered its approval, "God d - - - America! God d - - - America!" And we are supposed to believe Barack Obama that after spending 20 years as a member of this man's congregation that he never heard the "Reverend" speak such outrageous remarks, although he removed Wright from being a speaker when Obama announced his intention to run for President.

Barack Obama's judgment was that he should associate himself with unrepentant terrorists William Ayers and Bernadine Dohm.

Barack Obama's judgment is that a child who survives an attempted abortion is not entitled to medical attention.

Barack Obama's judgment is that he can make no judgment as to when a child is entitled to human rights because it is above his pay grade, and yet his judgment is that a woman should be entitled to have her unborn child killed. Wouldn't it be prudent and wise and exercising good judgment NOT to support abortion if one is NOT sure when a child is entitled to human rights because the answer to that question is above one's pay grade? Maybe this might help Senator Obama: "As you do not know how the spirit comes to the bones in the womb of a woman with child, so you do not know the work of God who makes everything." (Ecclesiastes 11:5) Or this: "Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, and before you were born I consecrated you. . . ." (Jeremiah 1:5) Obama might be advised to have better judgment and consider these passages the next time he quotes this his favorite passage: "Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brethren, you did it to me." (Matthew 25:40)

John McCain's judgment was to support the surge in Iraq, something that Obama judged to be unworthy of support, and the increase in troops has brought success, something the "mainstream media" is failing to report in spite of the fact that just two days ago the United States military transferred control of Anbar providence directly to the Iraqi security forces. (Have YOU heard any news reports on the "mainstream media" about this great victory?) But how can this be? I thought we were supposed to believe that Iraq was an unwinnable quagmire!

John McCain's judgment was to pick a Conservative woman with a family whom she loves and supports, and for that we are supposed to disdain his wisdom. I can hardly wait to hear Sarah Palin speak at the Republican convention later on this evening!
