I have tried really hard not to post too many rants on my Xanga, but I really have to get this off my chest.  These are just things I want to get out there, and remind us all that we should not believe everything that is fed to us, but to do our own research.

Two rants; semi-related.

If you watched the past Superbowl, you’ll probably remember the Snickers commercial where two guys start eating the chocolate bar at either ends and end up kissing.  They freak out and try to act “manly” afterwards by ripping out their chest hair.  It was a pretty funny commercial and we all had a laugh.  But apparently, it was an anti-gay commercial targeted at bashing homosexuals.  The homosexual community demanded an apology from Snickers, which they later on gave.  The commercial will now be pulled from the air. 

Now don’t get me wrong, I don’t really enjoy seeing two grown men kissing, but for goodness sakes, it was not a gay-bashing commercial!  Why does the gay community always pull the gay card?  Honestly, it is ridiculous to continuously accuse every straight human being of either being a homophobe or a gay basher.  Political correctness has become so over the top that it, in and of itself, needs to be more politically correct.  If two straight men find themselves lip-locked, YES they are going to freak out.  The men in the commercial had an over-exaggerated reaction to get a few laughs, not to bash the gays. 

You can only cry wolf so many times.  These outspoken activists keep causing a riot over the smallest things, and soon nobody will even bat an eyelash when something major actually happens.  They can blame Rosie.

Secondly, I have to talk about the Democratic Party.  Yes, national media is very biased in their reporting style, with a heavy inclination to report in favour of liberal policies and viewpoints.  But when they flat out lie to the public and are able to get away with it, where are we supposed to turn for objective news reporting?  The Democrats are stating that the American economy is and has been in a serious downturn for the past few years, implying that George Bush has been doing a poor job in this regard.  They are saying that the gap in the overall society has been increasing where the rich get richer and the poor get poorer.

Fact is, the United States have been experiencing forty-one uninterrupted months of job growth, which is longer than even during Bill Clinton’s “prosperous” reign – accomplishing all this while fighting a war in the Middle East no less!  Sure, the rich are getting richer, but the poor are also getting richer!  So, how come none of the big news networks sought to find the facts and point out the Democrats’ lies?  Because there is a huge bias in North America leaning heavily on the left. 

It’s amazing how filtered the news can become.  I know this is a huge blanket statement, but I definitely find that the liberals have ruined the United States image for the rest of the world by joining in the bashing of their own country and making a fool of themselves just to make the current President look bad.  How pathetic a way to gain a vote.  And even with their dirty tactics in the last Presidential campaign with Kerry, Bush still came out on top. 

Imagine that.
