Contrary to Popular Groupthink, Now is NOT the Time for National Unity: Now's the Time to FIGHT

The press has been going after Rush Limbaugh for saying that as a conservative, he wants "Obama to fail."

I heard CNN blasting him last night for saying this, saying it's not helpful to "national unity" behind the Obama Administration. Excuse me, but has CNN forgotten that not everyone voted for THEIR candidate?

Now is not the time for national unity; now is the time to FIGHT LIKE CATS AND DOGS to stop the Venezuelan-ization of our country. The government has no need to nationalize banks and private businesses, as Chavez has in Venezuela.

We are NOT Venezuela II or Cuba II.

Limbaugh is absolutely right. And for all these news organizations to gang up on Limbaugh in this fashion for defending the conservative position shows how far and how deep the socialist groupthink extends.

No more bailouts; the economy needs to be allowed to right itself. The accuracy of this position will be made clear when the companies that have already been bailed out start going under down the road, and taxpayers will be left with nothing but the debt to show for it.

Oprah Joins Obama Campaign: Is This a Smart Move on Obama's Part?

The news media is making a big deal about the fact that Oprah Winfrey is joining the Barak Obama campaign for part of a tour through Iowa, South Carolina and New Hampshire.

Does Obama really want the distraction that someone like Oprah will bring with her? Who's the media going to be more interested in talking to: Obama or Oprah?

Can Obama really afford this, with the race being as tight as it is?

While I compliment Oprah for becoming involved in the campaign as actively as she has, I don't think that celebrities should be sharing the stage with the candidates. It takes the focus off the candidate. Part of the public's imagination will be captured by the Obama/Oprah alliance, but who will the media pay more attention to?

Mark my words, they'll tune in to Oprah, every single time.
