A Frenchman Tells the Truth

Not that I'm calling the French liars or anything. I mean, just look at the blog address!
Today on Fareed Zakaria: GPS (a very good show, from the few episodes and segments I've seen), the host interviewed a Frenchman and a German. The former said Barack Obama was an idealist and a realist, while the neocons are extreme idealists. Then he said Barack was a mixture of a neocon and Kissinger.
Take it from a man with a clear head, a rational man. Obama is no Ron Paul, Dennis Kucinich (though I disagree with him on Darfur), or Cynthia McKinney. He's just going to start more wars that are more directly linked to the "war on terror" and genocide
Watch out Pakistan! Watch out Iran!
Turns out that entire nations are terrorist nations if they don't do enough in the eyes of the leviathan. And never mind about possible civil wars if moderates start attacking extremists. The legionaries will come to the rescue!
Yep, we should just kill the people instead of the source, mainly the American Hegemony.
I mean, I think you'd be pretty ticked off if someone decided to stay in your back yard or porch and threatened to shoot you if you tried to get them out, right?
Didn't the colonials have a revolution because the redcoats tried to have sleepovers?

Mon Dieu, MSM!

My God! I never really bought into media bias that much before I supported Ron Paul. They ignore the man, and when they don't, they ridicule him. They attack him. They give him bad questions.
He mentions cutting the IRS, he's a kook. Huckster does and the people cheer and he's a winner. He wants to actually cut taxes by cutting programs, they say he's an extremist. Everyone else says they want to cut taxes while somehow maintaining the Empire and ignoring the paradox, they report it as possible. They don't press Hillary on how she's going to balance the budget while expanding the bureaucracy (I bet it involves making more money).
It's wrong that a brothel owner supports him, but it's not wrong that Rupert Murdoch supports Hillary? It's cool that an old meme and Ric Flair supports him, but they don't say Val Venis or Kane does? Oh, of course...the only people that support Ron Paul are anarchists, libertarians, white supremacists, terrorists, prostitutes, and all kind of fringe kooks.
They air Romney and Giuliani fighting like two little kids that have crushes on eachother. They air when people slap Ron down and he's not allowed to reply. They don't air when he shoots down the Neocons.
The ultimate knife in the American people's back? Hailing Mike Huckabee as the great winner of the debate! No, he didn't win. He showed himself as a tax lovin' liberal. Chris Matthews did make a good point, though. The questions he "hit out of the park" were inappropriate.
In all honesty, no one really won. Not even Ron. Yeah, I said that because he didn't get enough questions. He did a great job defending himself, though. There were clear losers.
Romney lost on the immigration lovefest at the beginning and over the CS navy jack question. Thompson lost on the government program cutting question. McCain lost with his failed attack on Dr. Paul. The audience lost because they booed the golden rule and the Sermon on the Mount. Blessed are the peacemakers (though they might have heard the Cheesemakers)
Check the results in the media. How do they choose the winner? Well, whoever happened to tell the best jokes, and to a lesser extent, whoever spoke the best.

Youtube Debate

I'm pretty sure Ron Paul got less time than Fred Thompson even though he leads him in NH. I say pretty sure because I'm waiting to see the exact numbers.
Anyway, my reaction-
Rudy/Mitt lovefest continues. I swear, the front runners seem like they're running for Governor.
More importantly, John McCain is out of his mind. Isolationism caused WWII? Hitler should have been stopped before he came to power? Sorry, but if he was, he would have been a hero and not the reviled man he is. Anyhoo, better that he wasn't a hero to the Germans. I can just imagine "Iran is the new Austria-Hungary!" Speaking of, it was the Allies' (including the US) fault that Hitler came to power and WWII started. The idea of a noble America has been shattered for me mainly because of WWI. That's another post for another day, though.
The biggest heartbreaking moment for me wasn't seeing Ron Paul smeared. No, he can overcome that like he has very time. It was when he (more or less) said we shouldn't be in Iraq telling them what to do because we wouldn't like it and people booed him.
Remember, we see those we stepped on to rise to the top when we fall to the bottom.
Of course, there were lots of jokes. People like jokes and it courts voters. Such a shame that something so shallow courts them.
Finally, thanks to the massive amount of time the front runner candidates took up, there weren't many questions.
