Are liberals aware that Ronald Reagan warned us about the disaster that is Obama's presidency?
I’m assuming you’re referring to a video that takes a Ronald Reagan campaign speech from 1961 and juxtaposes it with cherry picked, out-of-context quotes by President Obama and VP Biden.As others have noted, the Obama presidency wasn’t a disaster. Employing the policies that Reagan warned against, Obama helped guide the USA through the Great Recession and handed Trump a booming economy with a low unemployment rate.Reagan, of course, did many of the things during his own presidency he seemed to warn against in 1961. For good reason, the economy of the 1980s and 2000s is very different from the one that existed back in 1961. I would not want a doctor trying to use ’60s era advice to treat my cancer. I would not want a politician using one non-economist’s ideas about the 1960s economy to handle the economic realities of today.In the speech, Reagan warned against the government spending more than it takes in. As president, Reagan increased the debt by nearly a trillion dollars. The USA went from being the world’s biggest creditor to the world’s biggest debtor.In the speech, Reagan complained the USA raised the debt limit three times and warned against this. President Reagan raised the debt limit 18 times. Obama raised it 4 times, by comparison.So, yeah, Reagan in 1961 warned against things the Obama administration did. But Reagan also warned himself. If Reagan didn’t heed his own ancient advice, why expect Obama to? The likely answer is both Reagan and Obama, when president, knew Reagan’s understanding of how the economy in 1961 worked was simply misinformed.tl;dr: Are conservatives aware Ronald Reagan warned us about the deficit spending disaster that was Ronald Reagan’s presidency?Update: Oh, look. Trump just raised the debt limit too. Boy, why didn’t he listen to Reagan from the 1960s! What a jerk, huh?News from The Associated Press
Why do conservatives view CNN as a very liberal biased news source?
Because CNN is a very liberal biased news source (and I am no fan of Trump and watch CNN everyday...) In fact, I don’t think CNN would disagree that they are biased. I think it’s actually very obvious to everybody. What isn’t obvious is exactly why. Why is CNN so biased? The answer may surprise you. It has everything to do with Google —and ratings AND advertising sales.The days of the news just being watched on TV are long gone. People now get their news over the internet, usually after conducting a search. Further, each news source has a well defined market. Gone are the days of a news station being generalized. First, I’ll discuss Google…How a news station ranks in Google will determine over half of the eyeballs on a story and a substantial portion of their advertising revenue. After all, the internet is world wide. Cable TV is highly localized and with Google Adwords, advertising revenue is worldwide.Make Google happy, you will be happy.Google has adjusted their algorithm to favor liberal news sources and PUNISH conservative news sources. After all, Google is a very liberal company headquartered in one of the most liberal areas of the country: Mountain View, California. If you’ve ever been to Mountain View, Palo Alto, and/or the surrounding area, you know what I mean! Everything about how Google works has been intentionally and systemically built to lean liberal. By being so liberally biased, CNN has become #1 on Google. In fact, CNN even higher than BBC and other sources that are much less biased and have higher journalistic and ethical standards (BBC is tops in the industry.)If you don’t believe me, check out my search engine, 4Conservative.com, and see all the news out there you’re missing because Google shoved it to the bottom. You’ll see many of these news sources are actually not fake news and even conservative news sources can be critical of Trump (and often are…) 4Conservative.com rebalances the algorithm to level the playing field. You will also see news from CNN and other top liberal sources, but you won’t miss the top conservative sources.—Michael LevyI’m the founder of 4Conservative.com | The Conservative Search Engine, one of over 2000 4Search.com search engines that let you search by topic and interests.
