CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY AUGUST 14, 2020
DON’T YOU LOVE THE WAY THE MEDIA LABEL AND CHARACTERIZE POLITICIANS THEY LIKE AND WHAT THEY SAY ABOUT THOSE THEY DON’T? TAKE KAMALA HARRIS. JOE BIDEN’S RUNNING MATE IS DESCRIBED AS AFRICAN-AMERICAN BY THE MEDIA. HER FATHER IS JAMAICAN AND HER MOTHER IS FROM INDIA. HOW DOES THAT MAKE HER AFRICAN-AMERICAN? AND WHATEVER HAPPENED TO JUST “AMERICAN”?
THE NEW YORK TIMES CALLS HARRIS A MODERATE. IN FACT, SHE IS A LIBERAL AND HAS BEEN NAMED THE MOST LIBERAL MEMBER OF THE SENATE, BEATING OUT EVEN BERNIE SANDERS AND DIANNE FEINSTEIN.
SOMETHING ELSE. DURING THE HOURS LONG WAIT FOR HER APPEARANCE WITH BIDEN IN DELAWARE TUESDAY, THE MEDIA SOUNDED LIKE THEY WERE WAITING FOR THE RETURN OF JESUS, IF MOST OF THEM BELIEVED IN HIM. WHAT IS IT ABOUT POLITICIANS – DEMOCRAT AND REPUBLICAN – THAT CAUSES SO MANY PEOPLE TO HOPE IN THEM? IF THEY COULD SOLVE ACTUAL AND PERCEIVED PROBLEMS WOULD THEY NOT HAVE SOLVED THEM BY NOW? BIDEN SERVED TWO TERMS WITH PRESIDENT OBAMA AND 47 YEARS IN PUBLIC LIFE. WHY DIDN’T HE FIX THE THINGS HE CLAIMS ARE WRONG?
IT’S ALL A SHAM. PUT YOUR FAITH IN JESUS AND BE RESPONSIBLE FOR YOURSELF. GOVERNMENT SHOULD BE A LAST RESORT, NOT A FIRST RESOURCE.I’M CAL THOMAS.
