BARREL OF MONKEYS: "GENESIS" in Reverse


I consider myself a Democrat. Been called a Socialist. Definitely a bleeding heart liberal.


As a child from a traditional southern family, playing Barrel of Monkeys on the floor, church every Sunday, doing well in public school, learning a trade; in every sense privileged .........


Comfortable in middle age, an avid news reader, on learning the tragic story of a full grown chimpanzee destroying the face of a woman who offered a toy, only trying to help it's owner coax her surrogate child back into his cage......


Today being confrontational, ribald, offensive, restless, rebellious.......


How did I get here from there?

Lenin, Stalin, Obama


Oh lookie how they all seem to be lost in space.

Needs a womans touch.  Guess a gay one will have to do.


Able to perceive some resemblance to Lenin,

Lenin came from a diverse ancestry. Besides Russian, Lenin had German, Swedish and Jewish ancestors on his mother's side and Mongolic Kalmyk ancestry on his father's.

Lenin the Marxist revolutionary was born into a comfortable middle-class family. Lenin's father Ilya was elevated into the Russian nobility for his work in the government bureaucracy, and, was entitled to wear a blue gold-embroidered uniform and be addressed as "Your Excellency". Although later Soviet biographies tried to disguise his background, Lenin himself never made any effort to hide the fact that he was a nobleman by birth. Lenin argued explicitly in one of his most famous works What Is To Be Done? that intellectuals from "bourgeois" backgrounds have a vital revolutionary role to play bringing political ideas to the working-class movement: "By their social status the founders of modern scientific socialism, Marx and Engels, themselves belonged to the bourgeois intelligentsia."

but none what-so-ever to Stalin.
During the late 1930s, Stalin launched the Great Purge (also known as the "Great Terror"), a campaign to purge the Communist Party of people accused of sabotage, terrorism, or treachery; he extended it to the military and other sectors of Soviet society. In practice, the purges were indiscriminate. Targets were often executed, imprisoned in Gulag labor camps or exiled. In the years which followed, millions of members of ethnic minorities were also deported.
The picture came from a conservative blog article about the liberal media bias.
Makes sense to me that the media appears liberally biased because you have to read a lot, research a lot, in order to write a non-opinionated piece.  Good writting skills alone not enough as anybody can write an opinion piece.

Impossible not to be learning as well. 
 
There lies the reason for media appearing liberal biased. It is! 

Liberalism a natural drift for anyone becoming more aware of a world outside their own.

Imagine that....a job with a built in broad spectrum continuing education; as apposed to yearly continuing education requirement tailored made for professionals such as myself, a veterinarian.
 
If more  conservatives could come up with something beside complaints or opinions to write about, or something besides "MONEY! MONEY! MOVEY!"  then the media wouldn't be liberal biased. 

Don't blame liberals for being your only source of news!
