Why?

It seems that WorldNetDaily’s Joe Farah has decided to back Jerry Corsi’s slander book.

In fact, Farah even admits that there are factual errors in the book:

Quote:

Are there mistakes in it?

Show me a first edition that doesn’t have some – other than the Bible.

But is it truthful? Does it add considerably to the public’s knowledge of the front-running candidate for the presidency? Do we know much more about Obama than we would had we relied exclusively for our information from the New York Times, the Los Angeles Times, the Washington Post and the Associated Press?

I offer a resounding “yes” to all three of those questions.

This statement alone proves to me, one hundred and fifty percent, that Joseph Farah is not interested in objective journalism at WorldNetDaily or in any of his other Conservative publications, but rather is more interested in right wing smear campaigns.

For this reason, I cannot and will not link to this site. I will admit, that there are some interesting Christian related articles over there, when they are actually true, that I do enjoy reading, otherwise, there is nothing there, which I would really even want to be in the business of promoting.

When I switched political sides, concluded that I was, in fact, a Libertarian Conservative, and decided that I wanted to be a Libertarian Conservative Blogger, which I do consider myself to be. I made myself a promise that I would never ever engage in the low-ball, sleazy attacks for which Republican Conservative Bloggers are infamous.

In fact, as of recent here, I came across a video that did in fact, I feel, prove that Obama was not a real bona fide Christian. However, I decided against running them here. In fact, I spoke with the owner of the Moderate Voice about posting them there or having Joe at least link to posting. However, after some considerable thought, I decided against even posting them here. Why is this? It is because I want visitors here to consider this website to be a mainstream Conservative Website, not a “right-wing smear” Blog or website. I admit it. I have called Obama a Communist Liberal in the past. However, mainly, that was in jest or in anger, when I would see the Democrats doing something rather idiotic. Not that I cannot say that, there has been a fair share of idiotic nonsense performed by the Republicans in the last 8 years. If I sat here and told them all, this posting would be twenty-five pages long in itself.

I have said many times on this Blog and I will say it once again, this blog is a moderate, independent, Libertarian-leaning, Conservative Blog. However, this blog is honest enough to be critical of those who claim to be representatives for the Conservative movement. Objective Journalism I am all for. However, unfounded partisan smears, I will not be a part of any longer. Factual criticism of Obama’s Policies I will continue to do, but unfounded smears are not something I wish to be a part of any longer. I have done this in the past, but I will no longer be contributing to the echo chamber of the Republican smear machine.

Because as far as I am concerned, the Republican Party does not represent the type of Conservatism that I believe in, it no longer represents the type of politics that I believe in, it also no longer cares or ever represents the financial class, which I find myself a part. I am not a fan of outright socialism, but I cannot align myself with a political party that says, “If you make less the $250.000 a year, we do not give a flying flip about you.” Anyone that says that is untrue is a Republican protectionist who wishes to deceive those who are not well acquainted with that part and its history of protecting the wealthy. You most likely wonder, do I have anything against the wealthy? I absolutely do not! The United States of America is the land of opportunity. However, a political party who only wishes to represent a small part of America, that 10 percent of America that makes more money that my father ever made or I ever made and rest to forget, is very unacceptable in my opinion.

This is why I call this Blog an Independent Conservative Blog. That it is, and that it shall remain.
