Romney makes a statement regarding the fact that 47% of Americans do not pay a federal income tax and the headlines attack Romney for creating more class warfare and alienating almost half of the country. Where are the headlines attacking Obama for repeatedly attacking all republicans? I, as a conservative, have spent the last four years feeling alienated by our president. He has not once addressed my concerns and he is constantly dividing the country right down party lines, yet the mainstream media has stood by quietly all along.
It disgusts me that while there is a growing crisis in the middle east where Americans are being murdered and allegedly dragged through the streets, military bases in Afghanistan are being infiltrated by terrorists, and the job numbers remain stagnant at best, Obama flies to Vegas to campaign and the headlines are about some remarks that Romney made at a private fundraiser in May.
Isn't anyone in the media concerned that Obama is addressing terrorists from the campaign pulpit, the pimp with the limps radio show, and Letterman? Are Romney's comments really the biggest headline of the week? You didn't build that is “taken out of context,” yet Romney stating that the people who support Obama who do not pay income tax will not support him is “offensive to liberals and conservatives alike”. Doesn't anyone in the mainstream media see their own hypocrisy? How can anyone make an educated decision regarding the presidential election with such blatant and obvious bias in the media?

Validating the extremests
Protests have errupted all over the middle east at American embassies and Obama goes to Las Vegas for a fundraiser, yet we cannot "politicize" the situation. Muslims are protesting a 15 minute anti-muslim video and we as a nation are apologizing for it. American flags are being burned and people murdered yet "we" are sending millions of dollars in aide and thanking these governments for their condolences. What has happened to America?
What we should be doing is cancelling all aide until these governments can ensure the security of our embassies and criticizing the extremest responsible for these actions. We should say that we won't apologize for the actions of a few people that do not represent the views of America and we will not take responsibility for these actions. We should be condemning both the countries and citizens for allowing the violence to escelate. And we should be holding Obama responsible for not taking appropriate precations on the anniversary of Sep 11 and criticizing his weak and ineffective approach to the situation.
These people are terrorists. They kill Americans and feel that a 15 minute video is justification to do so. Appologizing for this video simply validates their position in thier minds. Giving credibility to thier feelings and outrage only fuels thier cause. When are we going to realize that we cannot talk our way out of this? Peace is not an option with these extremests because they do not want peace. Terrorists will not be happy until they have destroyed the culture of America. I am not saying we need to bring on more violence to counter violence, but validating thier outrage is definately not the solution. I sympathize with people in those countries who do not side with the extremests, but I have to ask what would those people say if Americans stormed thier embassies, not because of a 15 min u-tube video, but because they murdered 4 of our citizens? They would be outraged and they should be, just as we should be outraged!
