Standing Up Against Giants

Feeling Plumber Fatigue, Media Turn on 'Joe'

Two nights ago, "Joe the Plumber" was a symbol of the American dream. By Friday morning, you would have thought he was convicted lobbyist Jack Abramoff.

What I find amazing is that this was just an average man who had the audacity to ask the great Obama a question about his tax policy.  Now the media and left wing blogs are attacking him.  They are digging up his past and calling him every name in the book, "racist republican" being their favorite.  All this just because Joe dared to ask "The One" a question.  

How freighting is that?   To ask a politician a question and then to be taken down by the media and other fanatics for doing that.  There's something seriously wrong with society when it allows something like that to occur.  I'm sure the Chinese were taking notes.  

And where's the racism part?  I didn't know that asking a politician a question would make one a racist?  From what I'm reading in the papers of late, it seems that the racism comes from the democrat's side.  

Another argument coming from the left is that Joe isn't who he says he really is.   He's not a real plumber or he'd not rich.  That's not the point.  

It doesn't matter if Joe doesn't make a quarter million a year or that he doesn't have a license.  Why should that matter?  Do we now need a resume before asking our political leaders a question?  

And why would that question be so unnerving to the  Obama camp anyways?   Maybe it was the fact that Obama was caught using the term, "spreading the wealth".  It's a term used by communists but actually never materializes when practice by commies.  If we look at Russia today we can plainly see that it's no Utopia.  Nor is Cuba for that matter.  It's the political power that have the money and privileges.  Sure, some of that has " trickled down" to the people below but it hasn't by any means been a "spreading of the wealth" over there.  There are poor and homeless people just like American, if you can imagine that.  So why would Obama use such a term like "spreading the wealth" if  it hasn't worked in communist countries?   What is it about communism that's so appealing to the left when it's been shown to be a failure?    

Or maybe it's not a total failure.  Maybe it's only a failure to the common man but not to those who seek power?  What the commies have failed by not bringing the world it's version of utopia, it surely has made up for by producing some of the greatest tyrants ever and a drone army of political foot soldiers. 

We've seen some of those soldiers as college professors, writers, news commentators in the big media and the talking heads of the Democratic party. And this willing drone army in the media and democratic party sees to it that anyone that questions their motives will be taken out.   

Empty political promises and talk of "spreading the wealth" is nothing more than a song to sway the masses into giving the anointed few the power to control.  Joe the plumber and people like him who stand up against these giants will be crushed under the weight of big media.  They will try and steam roll over him and use him as an example.
