I hope you don't mind if I take the liberty of this blog to explore a political slant occasionally during this presidential political season. For the most part this blog is apolitical and I try not to slant one direction or another as my focus is mostly on photography. Yes, I am a conservative, I am a republican, but more so I am an individual that wants more than any to see the right actions being taken to strengthen our country and the rights of its legal citizenry.
With the announcement by John McCain of Alaska's Governor Sarah Palin the news media has generated a firestorm over any aspect of Governor Palin's personal life. The despicable, low life, sludge in the blogosphere and the media that perpetuates the mud slinging in the direction of Governor Palin's personal life during her nomination is revolting. Regardless of the motives Senator McCain had for selecting governor Palin as a running mate, it was his and his alone to make.
As an American, I am appalled at the public and visceral slander that individuals and press organizations spew in a public forum. The competitive spirit in this country has gone from gentlemen and sportsmanship the anything goes and win at all cost, even if that cost is our own civility and decency as a people. We should be ashamed at ourselves as a political body.
We can do and be better than this... Doug
