Meet The Press!

Today I'm going to delve once again into the media, and it's left wing bias. First a disclaimer, I've never ever been a fan of David Gregory, current moderator of "Meet The Press." His recent antics this past Sunday have done nothing but confirm my suspicion he's anti conservative, and a left wing pundit.

First a little background on Mr. Gregory. Prior to his current gig on Sunday morning he was the White House correspondent for NBC news, another link to his left wing spin. While covering the White House I'd always found him to be the guy who asked irrelevant questions , and trying to promote the agenda he wanted to discuss during briefings, even if it had little or nothing to do with the topic being discussed. He has "skin in the game", as he married Fannie Mae's executive vice president, Beth Wilkinson.

Now to the infraction; During an interview with a republican conservative who had just mentioned she always voted on the side of freedom, he responded with this....

"Where did freedom get us during the financial crisis, I think that's a fair question to ask." He then went on to assault capitalism and the free market principles this country was founded upon.

I'd like to respond to that question if I may Mr. Left wing, socialist promoting, TV news journalist!

While freedom has it's flaws and is subject to abuse by those who lack integrity, it's still the best program. Let's examine history; We'll start with the dawn of man, and the Garden of Eden, where as reported in the Bible, Adam and Eve were given freedom to do anything they wanted, (as an inalienable right), except eat the fruit from the forbidden tree. Because man is flawed,they committed the original sin, and violated the only rule they had to live by. Abuse of freedom has consequences, they were cast out of the Garden, and life as they knew it changed dramatically.

The same applies for the financial crisis, rules were in place and abused. You choose to blame freedom for the failure, I am quick to note, man is not perfect, but a sinner. The simple answer is for the abusers to be punished harshly, not unlike Adam and Eve were for their indiscretion. So freedom wasn't the cause of the recent financial crisis, the flaws of mankind are. Someday you on the left will discover man is flawed, and freedom is no more responsible for the financial crisis than a pencil is for misspelling words. Stop blaming God given rights for the imperfections of man.

Freedom is about having choices, one of them is the choice to do right or wrong. You can apply Socialism, Communism, or any other "ism" you choose, man will still err. As the saying goes..."To err is human, to forgive divine!", and to punish is the proper course for those who sin. More laws don't stop the ethically challenged from misbehaving, it simply makes them more creative. Harsh and swift enforcement of the rules in place are the simple deterrent to bad behavior.

God Bless!
