The Irascible Chef

What will we do if we’re wrong on this one?

When you have a major majority of people who believe in one thing, they think alike, agree with each other, and are helped along their thought process by: peer pressure, the news, or just wanting to be part of a winning majority decision, what happens when something goes wrong? When that something you all believed in isn’t the bill of goods sold.

Exhibit A

How is it still possible for people to give Bill Clinton (the King with clay feet…) a pass on the inappropriate behavior between a middle aged married man, President of the free world for all intents and purposes, at the very least a man responsible for the wellbeing of a nation of 300 million people and a 21 something girl who was his intern—Monica Lewinsky.

Where were the women’s groups to stand up for and protect a young girl tangled in the net of a serial womanizing predator??? Crickets were the only sounds you heard besides the excuses they (including Gloria Steinem) were making for HIM! Amazing!

This wasn’t a love affair it was a cigar toasting fiasco, an illicit abuse of power from the highest level—what were we told about his convicted perjury and impeachment? It’s his private business, it holds no weight, it’s not lying if it’s your business—well being a public servant of WE the people doesn’t afford you that right! Also, doesn’t give you the right to teach that truth is subjective to America’s youth.

Is it that we can’t admit when it’s our choice goes awry? When one of our own has gone sour? Is it that we have become a society of people that refuse to take responsibility? It’s never our fault—always point at someone else?

By the way, as a side note to then and now, the last time you saw a woman demonized the way Sarah Palin has been, in-the-name-of-the-cause, was with Linda Tripp the woman who helped expose Clinton’s lies. Oooh, the beating she took, not pretty!

But what was this PASS really about? Excusing inappropriate behavior… Having to admit that something that we believe in wasn’t true in the first place is sometimes very hard. Admitting we were wrong, accepting accountability, and taking responsibility, isn’t something that people will do—I find this especially true in the OTHER party.

A colleague of mine pointed out that the rhetoric has changed: at first we were encouraged to be more tolerant, we needed to separate the behavior from the person: the person is good and only the behavior is bad. Nowadays, it’s a one package deal—we need to accept and be tolerant of the person and their behavior.

Anyway, my fatalistic prediction if Obama wins:

First of all, the next President will face some of the biggest problems ever faced by a US President and that’s without the horrible horrible unexpected disaster that could come raining down on our heads. Second, succeeding in this capacity will be a challenge if not a miracle. But regardless I hope that the President elect is successful for the sake of our country—I mean that.

Back to the prediction. If Obama wins and he isn’t the messiah prophesied, he is in fact mortal and doesn’t do what he promised or adds to the current state of disaster and makes things worse and things can always be worse—don’t kid yourself. I predict that his supporters will not admit he wasn’t ready, that he isn’t Superman. They won’t say that he’s a Socialist, that he’s President Government, that he’s the TAXMAN and to cap it, they will blame everyone else, accept ZERO responsibility, accept ZERO accountability. It will be even more disastrous than Carter and more disgusting than the Clinton hypocrisy.

From NiceDeb:

The full quote from Byron York reads: “Watching the press coverage of the Republican candidate for Vice President, it’s sometimes hard to decide whether Sarah Palin is incompetent, stupid, unqualified, corrupt, backward, or – or, well, all of the above”. It was obviously meant to be an indictment of the press’s coverage of Palin.

Gingrich then goes on to liken the media coverage of this campaign to the dishonest reports written about Polish freedom fighter, Lech Walesa, by the Polish communists during the eighties. Watch the video!

GateWayPundit: Woah!…

And, I think the American people should realize that the elite media on the Left is so desperate to elect Barack Obama that the view they are giving you of Governor Palin is fundamentally a falsehood. And, the one you saw from CNN is so outrageous that they owe her an absolute apology. But frankly, Katie Couric misquoted Henry Kissinger, earlier than that, ABC News misquoted the Bush Doctrine. Again and again you’ve seen elite reporters do things that were false in order to try to make Governor Palin look bad…

GateWayPundit: Sick. Only 14% Of McCain Media Coverage Is Positive

Of course this comes as no surprise.
The media has been unusually hard on John McCain.
