The Sunday edition of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution is the only newspaper I continue to receive each week. I hardly ever read it, not even the front page headlines, because as a radio talk show host the news is usually old news to me.
But this time was Memorial Day weekend and I decided to check out the front page stories and the editorial page. The lead front page story was about the special election in the 6th Congressional District. It was the usual information, but it also reminded me of something I had not thought about.
Redistricting! If the Democrats can steal this decades-old Republican seat and regain control of Congress, it gives them an advantage following the 2020 Census in drawing district boundaries to protect Democrats. It's not just that one Democrat vote in Congress, it's one vote closer to a majority and the ability to gerrymander congressional districts.
Then I turned to the editorial page, which also had a liberal cartoon and a conservative cartoon. The liberal cartoon identified the cartoonist, whose cartoons are printed five days a week as noted. The conservative cartoon was identified "From the right", with a note that it was intended to provide balance. It's interesting they had to tell you it was conservative, but did not note the liberal cartoon as liberal. Hmmm?
The opinion editorial by Jay Bookman was titled "The biggest scam in U.S. history". I started reading it and found that it was all about President Trump’s supposed broken promises. I didn't finish reading the article, because it was right from the Democrat talking points that you see and hear every day in the liberal media.
For example! Bookman says President Trump cut Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid in his proposed budget blueprint. No he did not! The proposed budget proposes to reduce abuses of disability claims, and does not force states to expand Medicaid and Medicare based on old assumptions.
In Democrat speak, a reduction in the assumed increase is called a "cut". They assume increases in social programs because they assume people will be poorer, un-healthier and more likely to be unemployed.
Besides, Democrats never mention in their talking points that some of his promises require congressional approval, or that President Trump has been in office less than five full months. Those are nuances they know their supporters of liberal rhetoric will never notice.
We notice! Even though our conservative and logical voices are greatly outnumbered, we will continue to fight the fight for the truth.
I don't think I will read Bookman's next opinion article, because I will have heard it all week on liberal TV. That is, the very little I can stomach.
