A Det. Shavedlongcock editorial:
Not a real shocker at all, Chicago Tribune & Chicago Sun-Times endorse Barack Hussein Obama for the office of US President.
Both of these newspapers are in financial trouble. Both have laid off tons of employees as their sales drop daily. The Internet and cable TV news have basically replaced the old fashion way of learning the daily news.
As a young boy I delivered newspapers in Chicago. In the morning I delivered the Chicago Sun-Times and the Chicago Tribune. Right after school I then delivered the Chicago Daily News and the Chicago Today. During those delivery years I would read all four newspapers I delivered 7 days a week. During the early 1970's the newspapers were full of truth. It didn't make a difference how powerful you were or how "Chicago Connected" you were, everybody was fair game. The newspapers had real investigative reporters with confidential informants and insiders at City Hall. The newspapers sold more newspapers not by pandering to any persons or groups but by revealing real news and taking down big powerful people. Many of the customers on my paper route were waiting at the door to get their hands on the hot news of the day.
Well times have changed. Newspapers today are nothing more than a piece of paper with words and pictures that gentle report the news. The news editors censor and omit anything that may offend a gay, lesbian, black, Hispanic, animal rights activist, abortion rights activist, Democrat, Muslim, Jew and any other person or group connect to the left side of society. But the people of the right side, Christians, Catholics, whites and any other person or group connected to anything right of center is still fair game. It is all is based on the left willingness to boycott and protest if you are not on their side or you offend their quests. Where the right side usually just says, what do you expect... and keeps buying whatever they are hawking.
THE DECISION FOR BOTH MAJOR NEWSPAPERS TO ENDORSE BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA
I have fun on this blog and anybody who reads it all at knows full well that I am a person who believes in the conservative side of life. Where personal responsibilities go hand in hand with what one can expect to accomplish in their lifetime. I have voted for just as many Democrats as I have for Republicans in elections. I usually base my decision on who is going to do the best job and their past accomplishments.
Now comes an endorsement for Obama by both major Chicago newspapers. Not really a shocker. As a Chicagoan I fully know if both newspapers didn't do this both newspapers would of had the full force of every black community organization and church against them. From protests to boycotts, they would be relentless.
But let's look at this factually. Obama, a self admitted cocaine snorting and weed smoking man and as of yet there is nothing that says his admitted use to these drugs have stopped. A man who may have his finger on the button that can blow up the world is a drug user. He has no military background and a few years in the US Senate, much of this time has been used running for US President. The years spent in the Illinois elected positions are basically uneventful as for doing anything to better Chicago or Illinois.
There are tons of questionable associations with Obama. From 1960's terrorists, black power preachers (Rev. Wright & Louis Farrakhan) and many more people that none of us would even want to associate with.
World leaders such as Fidel Castro, Moammar Kadafi and Hugo Chávez all have expressed their support for Obama. Three world leaders that HATE America voice support for Obama!
Obama was quoted in "Sneed" today as saying that if he is elected President, Obama desires a black to replace him as Senator. Wow, a man who if elected President would have to have tons of white votes but only a black person should hold his former Senate seat. Amazing. Imagine if John McCain said, If I am elected President I want a white person to replace me in the Senate. I am sure nobody would say a thing about it if McCain requested that.
I won't go on about Obama but I could.
Now we have John McCain. He was far from my original choice for US President. But when it came down to Obama and McCain as candidates, McCain was by far the easiest choice for me.
We have a war hero. A ex-POW of war. A 30 year US Senator. A middle of the road Republican who has NO questionable terrorists pals, NO preachers speaking of WHITE POWER, NO enemies of the USA backing him. A man that leaders around the world would fear to engage any war with. No known cocaine use, no weed smoking and didn't come for the corrupt politics of Chicago. Now I am sure John McCain is no angel and I never would even apply that. But what he is, is a man you have known for over 30 years. No hidden background, no hidden birth certificate like Obama, 30 public years in the Senate.
But none of those accomplishments mean a thing to the Chicago newspapers. For one reason only. There is one thing McCain doesn't have that Obama has. It is the reason why Obama is where he is at with no real experience. McCain is WHITE. And there is no possible way that either Chicago newspaper will endorse a white over a black for US President. Especially when it is the first black man to be a candidate in a major party for that office. It would of been financial suicide for both newspapers.
But I can tell you this. If I was at the age I was when I was deliviery those newspapers today, today would of been my last day as a newspaper delivery boy. I couldn't delivery pieces of papers that weren't printed with what so many brave men and women have died for, the First Amendment Right of the Freedom of Speech and the ability of the newspapers in this country to print the truth at all cost. Funny that in the end it wasn't the government that took the freedom of speech away from these newspapers but it was the ones who never did anything but leeched off society and never bothered to lift a finger to help this country.
Sincerely,
