Below are four very thoughtful & insightful responses that add to the original discussion of the subject message re Marco Rubio's State of the Union Response.
---Response #1---
Just two thoughts about all the multiple airings of Senator Rubio reaching out to drink some water. Will there be any backlash from the Hispanic people in our country towards the ridiculing of Senator Rubio? Also, you may have seen Reverend Al Sharpton's mocking Senator Rubio by holding up a big jug of water to get a drink - it doesn't seem to me that that is very kind behavior by someone who expects us to call him Reverend.

Doug, thanks for sharing Rubio's response. He covered a lot of territory in less than 15 minutes, and yes, the word substantive fits exactly with his presentation. How sad that one insignificant moment caused such a stir, when the content of his speech was right on target. Carol is so right – what a shame.

It is outrageous that the Left and Media refuse to debate core points of Senator Rubio's arguments. Instead they pursue to destroy an articulate, bright guy who can seriously challenge the Left's power.
Why is the Main Stream Media (MSM) a propaganda machine for the Left?

They went to college and chose not to learn skills that would create wealth and increase prosperity. Instead they majored in liberal arts, communications, or journalism while learning much from Leftist professors about their call for Big Government solutions. They then entered the MSM with an anti capitalist passion and a goal to expand Big Government and emulate European social welfare. Many more intellectual ones learned Marxism in detail and yearned to be part of a drive to establish a modern version of Marxism in the US (not outright ownership of the means of production but major control over all industries and companies). The root cause of Leftist thought in U.S. colleges came from Europe, the birth of Marxism in the 19th century and perhaps the first truly Big Government/social welfare ruler – Otto von Bismarck. European professors came over to U.S. colleges, feeling it was their calling to spread Leftist thought.
So the Left feels it is a noble mission to spread Leftism. Those like myself who champion free market capitalism must accept this fact. And then what are we to do? A great answer is to emulate Dr. Benjamin Carson. On Hannity (Feb 15) he stated that it was his mission to educate the populace of how the U.S. can reach new prosperity through choices of tax and regulatory reform to unleash the private sector to create wealth, not distribute it. Carson also pointed out that the Left makes most significant choices based on ideology, not empirical data or facts. Is not that why the Left can only mock Rubio about his lunge for a water bottle?

Referring to the water-bottle incident with Senator Rubio, and all the ridiculing of the Senator, we see another example of a stupid tap-dance to cloud the meaning of his response to "BO's speech, much of which was just repitition of other speeches. I personally found the Westminster Dog Show much more uplifting!
ReplyDeleteI watched the President's speech and the response from Marco Rubio for the very reason you brought up. I don't trust the media's reporting and wanted to see and hear for myself though I could have been doing something I would have enjoyed more Sound bites are all you get if you rely on news programs and that's not what I wanted to hear.
