Some More Political Commentary

All of the news stations and internet news sights that I listen to or read, both conservative and liberal really bother me. I don't like the conservative sites/stations because they are ridiculously critical of Obama and the Democratic party. For example, Obama, met some families at an airforce base as the bodies of their children were flown home from Afganistan. I think that was entirely appropriate and good. The conservative news criticized him for making a public showing to support the war, but that he really doesn't support the troops because he has not yet decided to send more troops to Afganistan. Well actually, I think that is a huge decision that should be made slowly and carefully. I think that is totally ridiculous and an inappropriate criticism. It makes it hard to take the conservative side seriously.

On the other hand, I hate how the liberal stations take anything that is sin and make it out to be what is good and right. For example, I read a cnn news article about a doctor who preforms late term abortions and another man who is the head of an anti-abortion group. With the doctor the article spent most of the time talking about how he fears for his life but that he is doing a great thing because he aborted a baby in a 10 year old and some other women for their health. He said he was saving lives. He has preformed more than 60,000 abortions. When the article focused on the anti-abortion guy they mostly talked about the recent murder of Tiller (a notorious late-term abortion doctor) and how badly that affects the pro-life group. The doctor was the hero and the man trying to stop abortions was the villain in the article. Again that is ridiculous! How can one say a man who has killed 60,000 unborn babies is saving lives and another man who has done no harm to any person is trying to stop these lives from being saved? Now of course, hardly anyone would think a 10 year old victim should have a baby. It would probably kill her little body. On the other hand, one knows that most of the 60,000 abortions were not to save a persons life.

I feel more strongly about promoting morality than I do about not criticizing the good things our president does. So I tend to lean toward believing what the conservative stations say more than the liberal stations. But when I vote I try to ignore what the candidates and the media are saying and look at voting records. That way  I can have a closer knowledge of who the candidate really is. It is harsh world right now, and it is scary to vote. I do worry about the social and political future of America and what that will mean for my children.
