Speaking truth to morons.

It’s a common battlechant of the leftists in this country to “speak truth to power”.  The problem with most of these people is they don’t have the brainpower to distinguish what really is true from what comes from their mouths.

The goal for this blog post is to gather some of the recent media issues in the current Presidential campaign and point out the truth.  Let’s see how I do.

1)  Which policies led to the housing and credit crisis?  Want a hint?  It wasn’t that evil BOOSH…  Here is a linkie for you..

2) Are the fundamentals of the American economy strong?  By now, I’m sure you have heard Obama slamming McCain for saying that the backbone of the American economy is in tact and we will get through this current credit crisis.  According to Obama, the sky is falling, McCain is a liar, and only he can save us.  Well, what’s the truth, is the economy screwed or not?   Here is a great article from Larry Elder over at townhall.  The great thing about Larry is he backs up his arguments with FACTS.  Now, that’s something you don’t see every day.

4) You want the truth on Obama’s sex ed bill?  Are you sure?  The media has already slapped the McCain campaign as if they were lying about it..  Oh, that’s right we are supposed to be speaking truth to morons here..

5) Speaking of things the McCain campaign is villified for because they are “over the top”.  How about whether or not Obama is actually to the left of NARAL on abortion?  You be the judge.

6) Did Sarah Palin really stop that “Bridge to Nowhere”?  Yes, she did.  The twisting the left is doing on this is insane.

7) I think I will finish up with the dirt the left has been throwing at Sarah Palin.  First, did she say the Iraq War was “God’s will”? No.  Did she try and outlaw teaching evolution in school or push creation science as Governor? No.  Did she want to ban books in Alaska’s public library and fire a librarian for not cooperating? No.  Was she a member of Alaska’s Indepedent party which at one time advocated separating from the Union? Um, No.  Is Trig really her daughter’s child? No.  The list goes on and on.  Check these sites for the truth.

This is just a taste.  The moral is to investigate before believeing what you read or see on TV.  The truth CAN be found, it’s just that sometimes you have to go look for it on your own.
