The following program, Frontline, blamed Enron on the Newt Gingrich congress.  No mention was made of the real elephant in the middle of the living room.  Specifically, the name of the head of the General Accounting Office, which is the investigative arm of congress.  You would be surprised who he is, where he worked when the conservatives took congress, and who appointed him to his latest job. 

Further, the name of the president in charge of the regulatory agencies that were supposed to be responsible for market oversight was not mentioned. (Except with respect to efforts by Clinton to destroy tort reform – a very important issue to a key Democrat constituency, trial lawyers who like to bring million dollar lawsuits because a stupid woman spills her coffee in her own lap.) 

Finally on the corporate financial finagling issue, Frontline didn't mention what caused the mess in the first place.  Bill Clinton and the pre-Newt Democrat-controlled congress limited the corporate tax-deductibility of top executives to one million dollars.  Any amount paid to a CEO beyond that millions dollars, if paid as salary, was thereafter not a deductible business expense.  Corporations moved to stock options and similar tools so they could pay top executives what they're worth, and still write it off.  It opened the door to the ENRON mess, and all the rest.

Attack conservatives and protect liberals.  That is what PBS does.

Anybody who ever gives a dime to PBS after this is scum.

AIDS, the blood program failed to mention, was promulgated by rabid sexual activity in Africa where it began, probably as a result of a man having sex with an animal.  It spread to Europe, Asia and the Americas via homosexual activity, and flourished in our urban communities, particularly in places like San Francisco’s bath houses where sexual contact with five hundred same-sex partners in a year is common.  When homosexuals gave blood (a common source of income within segments of that group) it entered the bodies of innocent people across the globe.

Anybody who thinks Ronald Reagan ever supported any of the above is obscenely stupid.  (Which is a good description for anyone who works for PBS.)

Besides Reagan, this program blamed the blood industry, blood banks and officials, for the plague.  The truth is, if they were slow to deal with the core aspect of this problem, it was due to political correctness generated and supported by people like the producers of this series and their many friends in public broadcasting, Hollywood, academia, the mainstream media and the liberal segments of the American political spectrum – in particular, the Democratic party.

It is the nature of these people to lie to you.  They lie and spin and try to shift blame and protect the perpetrators of this and every other plague that has visited itself on America since the Sixties.  The plague of the Great Society. The plague of feminism.  The plague of multiculturalism.  The plague of hate for Christianity.  The plague of hate for the founding fathers and principles of this nation.  The plague of hate for success.  The plague of hate for equal justice. 

I repeat, anybody who ever gives a dime to PBS after this is scum.

“In the United States, about 20,000 people contracted AIDS from blood transfusions,” the program’s narrator said.  Yes, and a million others got the disease because they were having homosex with every body in town.   PBS is a liberal spin machine, folks.  They twist and warp everything they touch, from children’s  programming to series like this.  And, it is a passion with them to take any opportunity to make anti-conservative statements – attacks on people like Reagan. 

Any excuse will do.  An excuse is not even required.  Like all good Marxists, they understand that everything is political.  They live by that statement, and by another socialist maxim: capitalism will finance its own downfall.  You have been helping them do that to your nation with your own tax dollars since the system was created.  There is no point to digging deeper in your pockets and voluntarily promoting these neo-Stalinist wannabes.

I repeat, anybody who ever gives a dime to PBS after this is scum.
