Our side is better than their side

The one general thing that I believe separates the Liberal/Democrat from the Conservative/Republican is their inherent nature(s). And I think it is this more than anything else that makes me a staunch leaner to the left of things.

What the heck does that mean? Funny you should ask.

There have been plenty of Democrats/Liberals who have done bad things. Ain't no denying that. They have cheated and lied and stolen, and I am not here pretending they have not.

And of course, there have been countless Republicans/Conservatives who have done the same. No point in arguing that one, either, is there?

So what makes one group of people inherently (and generally) different from the other, in my opinion?

The Democrats/Liberals don't do this stuff in an organized fashion. The Republican/Conservatives do it that way constantly. The development of the conservative "media" is the clearest example of this.

In case you don't know it, the huge growth of the conservative "media" (using the word "media" loosely here) came about over the past several decades as a concerted effort by the Republican party and their conservative think-tank minions to limit the effects of the "real" (read: impartial) media. This conscious, concerted effort began in the Nixon years, when guys like Spiro Agnew (a real prince) pointedly began using the word "liberal" in front of the word "media" every time he said it. And the way Agnew said it, it was almost a curse word.

All this was the brain child of a prick named Roger Ailes, President of Fox News Channel. Aisles is an Alfred Hitchcock-looking douche bag who has been placing his scum-sucking fingerprints on the back rooms of conservative agenda meetings since the mid-1960s.

At the beginning of all this, Richard Nixon was whipped by John F. Kennedy in the 1960 election thanks mostly to his ridiculously bad, sweaty ass TV performance during the 1960 presidential debates. Aisles studied this situation, and when Nixon brought him on for the 1968 elections, he took direct aim at changing this trend, and making the fairly new media of television work for his side.

What he did was to get Tricky Dick in a "controlled" situation.

That is, he rented a TV studio, got Nixon all gussied up so he would look good on the box, and then brought in a studio audience who all favored the Republican candidate -- people who were known to be fans.

To complete the picture, he assembled a panel of people to ask canned, per-written and approved soft-ball questions that Nixon was well-prepped to answer. The result was an alleged "TV press conference" that was really a staged TV "show" designed to sell Nixon. This was the first time such a tactic was attempted, and it was brilliant, devious, underhanded, and ultimately successful -- Nixon won the 1968 elections easily.

Aisles had seen his future.

After serving as a political consultant for Republican (solely) candidates in the 70s & 80s, a period during which he mastered using filthy tactics and virtual lies (truth being WAY less important winning to this swine) to get his pals elected, Aisles finally got around to framing his "big-picture" solution, Fox News, starting in 2005.

Since his hiring there, Fox has done everything it can to promote the Republican/Conservative agenda, bringing slant and opinion right into the "newsroom" without apology. Aisles is clearly a racist/elitist, and hence anything coming from him should be considered biased at the start. Yes, there have been shows that have followed that have a more liberal leaning, but I maintain that virtually all of these were in answer to what this fat prick started over at Fox. Before all this, there was only the "real" media -- you know, the guys whose job it was to TELL THE FUCKING TRUTH.

Now, while all this was going on, the Democrats/Liberals were busy getting blowjobs in the Oval Office and banging their secretaries. Yes, friends, THAT is the kind of mischief Liberals routinely get themselves into.

You will NEVER see a Democratic/Liberal group ORGANIZING to do anything they know is either illegal or immoral. It's just not in our DNA to be able to do things like that. We will organize the troops, rally them with positive vibes, and do our best to unseat the other side whenever we can. But we will never cross the line into organized wrongdoing in order to get the job done. We know that would change the very nature of who we are.

Again, there might be individuals within the group who might have done things that were dishonest, just as their are individuals within the other group who would NEVER have anything to do with all the evil doings mentioned herein. But you will NEVER see an organized group of liberals doing anything of the sort, and I challenging you to find one to equal Aisles' antics, above, or Nixon's "Dirty Tricks" boys from the 70s. Ain't gonna happen.

And that, ladies and gentlemen, is why I will ALWAYS be on the side of Liberal/Democrats. If you wanna be on the other team, fine. But always remember the crappy things that YOUR team has done in the distant, and recent, past in order to win elections and sway opinion. Whether you agree with what they did or not, your participation within that group makes you just a tiny bit complicit, like it or not.

I'm not saying that makes you a bad person. But you need to know this stuff has gone on so that you are fully in touch in regard to who you stand with.
