The Bill Clinton supporters would have screamed that his sexual proclivities had nothing to do with his job and any criticism would have been labeled as a witch hunt by the “right wing conspiracy”.  Obviously his actions have not affected his job and he only lied about sex, the story would go.  Remember?

Hollywood would have quickly come to Woods’ defense with the “everybody does it!” claim.  After all, Hollywood even defends Roman Polanski’s rape of a thirteen year old girl.  A liberal producer would likley have made a movie depicting Tiger Woods as an abused husband driven to infidelity.  Once you convince the ignorant and gullible, it’s all downhill from there.

Barney Frank, Democrat Congressman, would have defended Woods.  Frank’s live-in partner operated a homosexual brothel out of the congressman’s apartment on capital hill and his most recent partner got caught growing marijuana in their apartment.  Frank is still part of the Democrat leadership in congress.  Barney Frank and Democrats would be sympathetic to Tiger Woods for such a small moral lapse.  And Frank is still in charge of managing our mortgage crisis that he himself was responsible for.  I’m sure he would have pleaded for redemption if Tiger Woods had only been on board with the liberal agenda.  And the rest of the Democrats in the House would have followed along with their support like they have done for Barney Frank.

Gary Studds, Democrat Congressman, had a homosexual affair with an underage intern.  He eventually retired amidst a standing ovation in the House of Representatives.  That’s the kind of support tiger could have depended upon if he would have gotten better advice and been persuaded to be a liberal Democrat.

If Tiger Woods would have been a public voice for affirmative action and funneled some significant dollars to the Rainbow Coalition then Jesse Jackson would have been in front of a camera claiming any criticism of Woods was racism and accusing any corporation dropping Woods’ sponsorship of crimes against blacks.  And, of course, the accusation of racism would have trumped all other political correctness terms so an immediate zone of protection would have sprang up around Tiger Woods.  Even Rev. Sharpston has shown no interest in Tiger Woods’ defense. (Must have been too much going on at the church, I guess.).  If in addition to being a liberal Democrat Tiger had also become a Muslim convert, then he could have likely gone back to golf next week with Louis Farrakan’s blessing and the Black Panther party at his side in case anyone in the crowd hollered insults.

And if only Congressman Jefferson, Democrat Louisiana, was not in prison for storing $75,000 of marked bribery money in his freezer he would have come to the defense of Tiger Woods.  And he could have brought along all of the Democrats in congress that allowed him to stay in congress and remain on his committees until he went to jail.  The Congressional Black Caucus would have likely held a news conference showing support for Tiger Woods; sort of like they did for Fidel Castro.  But they’re not going to do that for an Independent.  Tiger should have known the only thing that separates liberals from supporting other liberals is prison bars.  And that’s not a standing rule!

With all of this millions Tiger Woods, as a good liberal Democrat, could have supported ACORN and they would have sent a couple of bus loads of demonstrators to each of his corporate sponsors threatning to disrupt their businesses if they dropped Woods as a client.  ACORN partners in crime SEIU would have been happy to help out.  Didn’t Tiger Woods see how well that worked when ACORN teamed with Democrats in congress and intimidated banks into making loans to those who could not qualify?  And ACORN could have even helped Tiger Woods get some underage sex by assisting in bringing in 15 year-old prostitutes like they wanted to do in an undercover video sting operation.  What was Tiger thinking?!  All Woods would have had to do was pressure Democrats in congress to continue giving ACORN our tax money.  Even President Obama, a big ACORN supporter and fefender, may have offered a helping hand.

But the biggest mistake Tiger Woods made by not being a liberal Democrat supporting all the politically correct issues, is the cover he could have received from the liberal media.  It takes care of its own and any celebrity known to help further the liberal agenda will be rewarded with positive news coverage (or, their favorite, not reporting bad news at all).  Woods could have suggested that he also engaged in some homosexual affairs and many media sources would not have reported it at all.  The New York Times would likely have used the story to justify gay marriage but most media would have made it a one-day story for fear it would damage the homosexual agenda.

Yes, Tiger Woods made a huge mistake.  I know he intended to play down his ethnicity and politics and stay out of any controversy but he simply did not understand the kind of power he could have tapped into should he find himself in this kind of situation.  A black, liberal, Democrat, homosexual, celebrity, with Muslim associations would have made him virtually untouchable; literally bullet proof.  I guess you can give him credit for having the good sense not to claim he was a conservative Christian Republican.

They say this may cost tiger Woods as much as $200 million.  If he has a hard time turning this around then he might consider running for office as a liberal Democrat.  With his uncanny ability to hide the truth his election would be a good fit.  And he would have a lifetime position, remain a multimillionaire, have the best retirement and health care in the country and he wouldn’t even have to change his lifestyle.

So how should Tiger Woods be looked upon after these revelations?  Some are happy about his fall and feel he deserves whatever misery that comes to him.  Others feel it is his private life and none of our business. (That would fall in with the Bill Clinton crowd).

Tiger Woods was a public figure.  He owed his fame and financial rewards to the public.  It seems fitting the public should know about his failings.  Should he be hammered and his privacy be infringed upon over it?  Maybe so, maybe no.  But what I do know is that exposure of such unacceptable (well, at least to some of us) behavior is what deters people from it.  And the bigger public figure you are the bigger fuss that should be made of it.  That Woods was so reckless about his escapades is even more troubling and suggests more of a mental condition than cheating on his wife.  It is the lack of exposure and condemnation of behavior that have us where we are today in our culture.  PC as made us hesitant to condemn any type of behavior.  But exposure and condemnation controls behavior far more than any law can do.   Out-of-wedlock births have resulted in the chaos it has precisely because because it has become accepted.  And the more the communities accept it, the higher the numbers go.

So I love to see Tiger Woods play golf and know he does much for the game.  But knocking kings off their thrones because of their bad behavior does much more for our culture.  We shouldn’t look to our hearts for guidance.  We should welcome the condemnation.  If Tiger Woods turns himself around we will know it and he will again rise in the minds of his fans.  But for now, let him do service to the culture and society in his embarrassment and condemnation.  He deserves it.  And he can serve our culture much more in his fallen state than he lifted up golf.

We should rejoice in any bad behavior that is exposed for condemnation.  Otherwise, it is accepted.

Barring a complete financial meltdown any presidential election will turn on 3-5 percentage points.  I believe the media and entertainment gives the Democrat at least a 10 percent advantage. I love Palin and, barring another more promising candidate, I would like to see her give it a shot.  But we must be honest with ourselves.  Palin could wind up being a big loss. She is still unproven in her skills of handling the press.  There will be a war and Palin must be up to that challenge.  Face it, she has to win the ignorant and the gullible, not just the  true believers. Then on the other hand, if Democrats win in 2012 we are likely finished as a country anyway.  But I believe Palin will look at the polls come 2011 and see she cannot win due to the hammering the media will give her between now and then.  She may be damaged goods regardless of how we feel.  If her popularity holds up under the fire she will take the next year, that will be a good sign and let the games begin.

Sure, the Dems lost the Virginia and New Jersey governorships and that is certainly a good sign but with small majorities on such matters it is disturbing.  We see apathy all around on some very important issues.  And we have independents, I believe, that can very well go either way, ignoring important issues with a little bit of good news.  I fear Democrats only need to have a little good news next summer to push these independents right back into the Democrat column.  Our problem is about a third of the electorate with little principles other than what they think is “good” for them.

There is a lot more at stake in the next elections than what is “good” for people.  What we have is an attack on our very foundations of the nation.  And we must depend upon mush moderates to protect it.

Which brings to view as to why Republicans give us a much more honest and ethical government when they are in power.  No, it may not be because Republicans are any more free of corruption or ethical lapses than Democrats (although I could likely make a good case for it given the opportunity).  It is due to the fact that Republicans are hated by the MSM and the media are always looking for opportunities to discredit and/or embarrass Republicans.  They do their constitutional job when Republicans seek power.  The result is that Republican corruption is rooted out and unethical behavior is exposed.  Of course, the innocent Republicans are caught up in it as well as the media try to assure the election of Democrats in the next election cycle.  But, inadvertently, the media give us a more honest government in the process as long as Republicans control the government.

The problem is that this usually results in Democrats dominating elections following Republican dominance.  And THAT is where our problems begin.  Corruption will explode (as we see today) when Democrats gain power.  But it is for TWO reasons.  First, the MSM will do what they can to see that Democrats stay in power and will ignore corruption in plain sight as well as cover up for corruption and unethical conduct on the part of Democrats.  Any such behavior exposed by the internet or the few conservative media sources will result in the MSM going all out to excuse the Democrat behavior.  Instead of investigative reporting they will seek out those sympathizing with Democrats and flood the airways with excuses and equally bad behavior by Republicans.   Secondly, the Democrat base will excuse almost anything of a liberal and together with the MSM they can sway the ignorant and gullible (a large part of the voting public).  On the other hand, the conservative Republican base will demand immediate resignation from Republicans who are exposed.

The result is a large imbalance in the electibility of candidates in the two parties and almost guarantees that liberal Democrats, and the corruption and lack of ethics that comes with them, will dominate.  Add to all this the liberal influence of entertainment, the liberal brainwashing in academia (turning our wave after wave of ignorance and historical lies) and the day after day pounding of the liberal media elevating Democrats and you see a dim view of what the future has to offer for the nation.  And as secularism smothers the value system religion provides we may be in a whirlpool now too strong to keep us from being sucked into the abyss.

Let’s see, either Pelosi is lying or the CIA was.  The Democrats say they have confidence in Pelosi so they must be saying that the CIA is lying.  Isn’t THAT a BIG DEAL??

Not to the Democrats evidently.  A lying CIA is OK.

The real story is that the three-legged stool the Democrats depend upon is OK with it.  These are the ideologically pure, the ignorant and the gullible.

Pelosi did what Democrats do…..they lie or distort whenever it is politically expediant.  To leftists, i.e. Democrat leadership, political power is paramount.  They have no religion other than their liberal agenda.  Once we get that straight in our minds then all the rest is easy.

Although Pelosi hated America back after 9/11 just as much as she hates it now, she saw what was poltically correct back after 9/11.  Liberals sense what they can get away with and will moderate in times where it is necessary.  It was not the time to be bashing America.  The “thing” to do back then was to get the terrorists and protect America.  The normal dupes Democrat liberals could depend upon pre 9/11 had been caught up in the patriot thing and Pelosi knew she would have to play the game for a time.  Leftists like Pelosi however never for a minute change their thinking.  They simply knew that polls showed liberalism would be discredited even among their usual dupes if they bashed the country like they normally liked to do.

Pelosi and her bunch had to change tactics for a time.  They were convinced, as most of us were, that it was impossible to prevent another attack on the U.S. in the coming year or so after 9/11.  So they changed tactics to make the claim Republicans were not making us safer and that we were in just as much danger from another terrorists attack, or even more so, than before.  Remember that?  This, they thought, would put them in position to say “I told you so!” when that next inevitable attack came.  And, of course, they hoped the next attack would come as long as none of their own loved ones were in the line of fire.

Now, where Pelosi got in trouble is when Bush got reelected and the Iraq war went poorly for awhile.  Then Abu Graib came along and “torture” became the new Democrat “gotcha” tactic of the day.  Pelosi, being the political opportunist she is, saw the opportunity to beat Republicans about the head with “torture” claims and couldn’t resist the chance despite her previous acceptance of waterboarding and other interrogation tactics.   You must understand that Pelosi, like most leftists, has no concerns about principle as everything is based upon political advantage.  She now saw that “torture” could resonate with the American people.  The gullible could once again be depended upon and had lost the patriotic fervor that 9/11 had generated years ago.  Pelosi now felt confident to do a 180 degree flip-flop and get away with it.

Pelosi figured she could flip-flop with little consequence.  After all, Democrats do it all the time and can be confident the MSM would turn a blind eye.  But she miscalculated.  Her lying was too blatant.  The liberal press will normally make something like this a one day story and give any Democrat a pass.  But Pelosi kept changing her story and making the story grow.  Now, the press senses, like Obama and other leftist Democrats, that Pelosi may actually be hurting the agenda and they may be toying with the idea that if this gets any worse Pelosi might have to be thrown under the bus.  They figure this may not be all that bad since Pelosi has terrible personal poll numbers and is so openly partisian it makes it more difficult to mask their true agenda.  Democrats have learned over the years that if their leaders have a calm demeanor and trusting tone they can snooker the majority of voters every time and pass an agenda the majority of Americans do not want.  Obama claimed in his book that he could disarm whites by doing this.  Pelosi does not fit this mold and if she gets to be too much of a burden Obama figures he can cut his losses with her early on and get someone as the Speaker having a tone that can fool people much easier.  And make no mistake, the Obama agenda depends upon fooling the public over and over until we are in the clutches of government so deep there will be no exit.

Pelosi may be in trouble.  It depends upon if the MSM chooses to help her or not.  And the MSM will look to Obama for the signal.

The problem is that Republicans no longer have a brand partly due to liberal Republicans in the ranks throwing a wrench in everything.  Snowe, Collins and McCain love the attention they receive from going up against Republican efforts and love that adoration more than their loyalty to the Republican Party.  This permits the liberal media to make THEM the story when the legislation at hand needs to be the focus.  Casting off these chains would send the signal that  Republicans are serious about what they stand for.  It very well might take several election cycles before voters turn back to conservatism but we know that liberalism will fail.  It will once again create a “misery index” that will cause the middle to again break back to the right; even if it is their only choice.  But carrying the weight of liberal Republicans simply prevents progress.  Let them go!  Let them take the responsiblity of the calamity that is sure to come.  In that way the choice will be clear.
