Does anyone remember Ross Perot? Well, to refresh your memory he ran as an independent in the 1992 Presidential race and lost. However, he garnered enormous media attention and was able to procure almost 20,000,000 votes.
Back in 1992 many Americans, including myself, were impressed with his success and business savvy. We viewed him as someone who had made it in America
Ross Perot was a proven winner and America
However, I ask myself now: how would he be portrayed if he ran for president today? The media, including CNN, in 1992 represented him as a generous humanitarian who personified the American dream. Do you think they or most of the media outlets would do the same now, 20 years later? Unfortunately, the answer is no. Instead they have taken Obama’s lead and would vilify him every chance they had. They would tarnish his name, call him a 1 percenter and denigrate him as someone who doesn’t pay enough taxes. They may even get a sound bite from Buffet saying how ashamed he is at Ross Perot for not paying his fair amount of taxes. He would no longer be represented as someone to vote for because of his success. Instead, he would be cast aside as a greedy businessman who earns too much and gives back too little. They would not longer taught his success but would be quick to point out his luxuries. They would show how many homes he owned or speak of his antique car collection.
He would no longer be seen as someone that the American people should emulate. All his hard work, dedication to his business and rise to success would be overlooked. He would be considered “out of touch” with the American people and his wife would be referred to as the spoiled “rich bitch” who never worked a day in her life.
You may think I’m simply making up these allegations or just spewing out false claims. But before you make that conclusion, I just have to ask you to open your eyes and see what they are doing to Mitt Romney. Just look at an article I read about him on Yahoo this week. Instead of interviewing him about his success they were making him defend himself for being wealthy. He should not need to defend himself. On the contrary, he should be answering questions about what he did to become such as success and how he would use these principles to turn around America
Obama has set the new tone for the entire American media. He no longer wants us to aspire to greatness or wealth. He no longer wants us to believe in ourselves and in our own ability to achieve economic success. He no longer wants us to view people such as Ross Perot as someone to emulate. Instead, he wants us to believe in his philosophy called “fairness”. Does this philosophy create jobs, decrease the deficit or build the economy in any, even remote, fashion? The answer is a simple no. Instead of facts he gives us feelings. Instead of success, he gives us lectures. Instead of properly running the country, he is running for reelection.
Obama has already lead the American media on a witch hunt against all American values that we grew up with. As I already stated he wants us to believe that we no longer have to strive for success and that our big brother, the government, will take care of us. He also vilifies those that “cling to the bible”. He wants us to throw away religion and instead of looking to the bible for inspiration, we should again turn to him and big government. It’s a trick all totalitarian governments have enforced on their people to impose their rule over them. Just currently look at North Korea
Use common sense this November. Vote for a proven success not a proven failure.
