INVESTIGATING ANTI-AMERICANISM

The blog discussing the McCarthy-like investigation into the anti-American activities of liberals is definitely intended to fuel the fires of a democratic-based audience. The title of the blog, Bachmann anti-American, along with the blanket statements listed throughout the “article” all point to a more liberal view of politics. The credibility of this particular author, although unknown, is hard to determine. The facts stated seem to be accurate, but the ways in which they are portrayed are definitely less than objective. For example, the claim that “all liberal views are anti-American” seems to be an extreme interpretation of Rep. Michele Bachmann’s statement. I think it’s worth investigating Senator Barack Obama’s patriotism, or lack thereof, as he is vying for the position of president of the United States of America. If we cannot count on our president to be pro-American, who can we count on? He will be representing our country in all matters – finance, international affairs, environmental issues, etc. However, I don’t necessarily agree with a McCarthy-like investigation by the media (of all sources) into the anti-American activities of Congress. After all, isn’t the McCarthy era one that our country has learned from and would like to avoid repeating? Also, why should the media, who in my opinion, are notoriously biased to the Democratic platform, be the initiators of such an investigation, assuming one is actually necessary? I would think an official investigation by the Department of Justice would be more appropriate. It’s interesting that a Republican (allegedly) made such a suggestion.
