The Scent of Desperation

...is in the air. You can smell it.

I think we've officially entered full-on "Attack-Mode". This is one of the more entertaining hit-pieces I've seen this election season. If you haven't figured it out yet, our media's response to Ron Paul has made me a Ron Paul supporter. I had never even considered him until I started paying serious attention to our media's reactions to him. It's hard to explain really, or maybe it's because I get most of my news from the web and don't watch much TV news, but every time the mainstream media goes out of their way to smear this guy, it only makes me support him more. Hmmmm.



This a sign of the end-times my friends. When Bill Kristol is up on Fox News trying to front like he gives a damn about slavery or the historial plight of black folks in this country in an effort to smear Ron Paul, you know someone somewhere is getting very very desperate. There was no discussion of the issues here. Our troops are still in Iraq and our dollar is in the tank, but yet this "conservative intellectual" is talking about slavery and the American Civil War on Fox News? How is this even relevant to me as a voter? Can I get some discussion of the issues in 2007 and not the issues of 1860?

When NeoConservatives are reduced to trying to take the moral high ground on race relations in order to do damage control on the groudswell of support for one man it causes me to ask a question: Since when did these so-called public conservative intellectuals start giving a damn about what their fellow conservatives thought about slavery and the Civil War?
