Change The World, Rearrange The World

I read a comment on a blog that claims the Mainstream Media is creating an historic event by helping Obama get elected. I think this is accurate. By overt cheerleading and gilt-by-omission, they have created a glittering, glowing image that offers "Hope" and "Change" to the huddled masses.

"Hope" of erasing the stigma of race relations in America by electing a bi-racial candidate of dubious origins and negligible accomplishments. "Change" in the attitude of Europe towards our foreign policy by affecting their own malleable standards of right and wrong. Obama never talks about Liberty. He does not express any great desire for Freedom. He wants our international social status improved. He wants more international members on the USA Facebook page.

These are goals that cannot have a price tag that is too high. The Constitution is "fatally flawed". The Courts are "imperfect vehicles for Change". We need new and better ways of imposing our will on an electorate that should have no say in the matter. We need to keep them at bay with charges of racism, should they oppose our feel-good fiats. These are the goals of every Liberal in America...at a minimum.

I remember reading that the number one reason J-school students were following that career path was to "make a difference". Not report news, not inform the public, not be the objective free press.

Make a Difference. They don't want to be a "Witness to History", they want to be Midwife.

I voted straight ticket Republican yesterday. I'll make my own difference, thanks.
