In the past few decades we have witnessed a sharp decline in the values that make life work and societies strong. Too many of us ate willing to accept that lying, cheating and deception are normal. These methods for getting what you want have become so much a part of everyday life that we often fail to notice, or care, when it happens. Things that in our grandparents day would have caused alarm, are now part of the normal expectations of news, business dealings, political contests and even legislative efforts and matters of the law. The word “illegal”, for instance, means nothing to many Americans when attached to the words immigrant or alien. In the new reality immigration law is made up of suggestions to be interpreted by whim and administered only in certain cases.
The guys over at News Busters noticed another glaring example of this phenomena on the Sunday shows…this is unbelievable in a journalist but it explains a lot:
Over the weekend, Newsweek assistant managing editor Evan Thomas offered an intriguing insight into the MSM’s approach to the liberal health care bill slowly rolling its way through the Democratic-controlled Congress. After conservative columnist Charles Krauthammer accurately pointed out how the Senate bill only pretends to be “deficit-neutral” by front-loading the tax collection process while delaying the payouts, Thomas agreed: “Charles is right. This bill is a fiscal fraud.” But he quickly added: “I’d still vote for it.”
