(Note" See information when reaching the bottom of this page on ABC Good Morning America's comment on America's Tea Party.)
In the early summer of 2012, through its president, America literally became an embarrassment to western society.
And it was well deserved for a country filled with an arrogant and aloof new progressive culture, where values of many citizens rest on at least two dozen sexual partners as a lifetime trophy and gender specific abortions the prize. It is a society evolving to where the utterance of God Bless America could easily be seen as blasphemy rather than hope by the rest of the world.
America's Chosen President, Barack Obama, Shuns Lech Walesa
Source: National Review Online, June 1, 2012
Written by Rory Cooper
Source: National Review Online "Lech Walesa was once a trade-union activist. He was often arrested for speaking his mind against Communist oppression behind the Iron Curtain in Poland and for defying the Soviet Union. He was an electrician who, with no higher education, led one of the most profound freedom movements of the 20th century — Solidarity. He became president of Poland and swept in reforms, pushing the Soviet Union out of his homeland and moving the country toward a free-market economy and individual liberty. And President Obama doesn’t want him to set foot in the White House.
According to the Wall Street Journal, Polish officials requested that Walesa accept the Medal of Freedom on behalf of Jan Karski, a member of the Polish Underground during World War II who was being honored posthumously this week. The request makes sense. Walesa and Karski shared a burning desire to rid Poland of tyrannical subjugation. But President Obama said no.
Administration officials told the Journal that Walesa is too “political.” A man who was arrested by Soviet officials for dissenting against the government for being “political” is being shunned by the United States of America for the same reason 30 years later.
Meanwhile, one of the recipients of the Medal was Dolores Huerta, the honorary chair of the Democratic Socialists of America. So socialist politics are acceptable, but not the politics of a man who stood up and fought socialism.
This revelation follows an eruption of outrage in Poland after President Obama referred in his remarks at the Medal of Freedom ceremony to “Polish death camps,” a phrase that Poles have battled since the end of the Cold War. The phrase suggests that Poles were complicit in Nazi concentration camps, which of course is not the case. In fact, Poles were exterminated in the camps.
The White House’s flippant response to the uproar caused the Polish president and prime minister to demand more thoughtful and personal reactions. But White House Press Secretary Jay Carney said Wednesday that the president has no plans to reach out to his Polish counterparts and has shrugged off the outrage in Poland.
Few observers are suggesting that President Obama’s written remarks noting “Polish death camps” were intentionally malicious. The comment was more likely a result of historical ignorance and careless inattention. This is the same ignorance and carelessness that would cause a president to turn away Lech Walesa and label him as “too political.”
Ironically, Lech Walesa shares a distinction with President Obama: They both won Nobel Peace Prizes. Walesa earned his in 1983 after years of fighting for peace and freedom, and being monitored, harassed, and jailed for it. President Obama received his award in 2009. Some may think that this would be enough of a bond for President Obama to set aside political differences for the greater good. But instead, President Obama treated Walesa the same way he treated the 1989 Nobel Peace Prize winner, His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama, who was ushered out the White House kitchen past piles of garbage in 2010.
The likelihood is that President Obama didn’t want Walesa in the White House because Walesa has made critical remarks toward the president’s policies and in 2010 warned that the United States was slipping toward socialism. But rather than taking the mature and diplomatic path and respecting Walesa’s right to have a differing perspective, Obama chose to shun his lifetime of achievements.
Congratulating Walesa on his Nobel Prize in 1983, President Ronald Reagan said: “For too long, the Polish government has tried to make Lech Walesa a non-person and destroy the free trade-union movement that he helped to create in Poland. But no government can destroy the hopes that burn in the hearts of a people. The people of Poland have shown in their support of Solidarity, just as they showed in their support of His Holiness Pope John Paul II during his visit to Poland, that the government of that nation cannot make Lech Walesa a non-person, and they can’t turn his ideas into non-ideas.”
The White House should not treat President Walesa as a non-person, and they cannot turn his ideas into non-ideas."

On ABC Good Morning America's Comment Today
ABC’s Good Morning America today, on June 20, 2012, brought on Brian Ross, who immediately jumped on Web information for anyone that was named Jim Holmes, the same name of the shooter in the Batman movie theatre that wounded dozens of people the night before and killed twelve.
Ross is speaking with George Stephanopoulos, saying he was seeing a Jim Holmes on an Aurora Colorado page and a Tea Party site, Holmes joining a Tea Party last year. After Ross announces this man's name across the United States of America on ABC Good Morning America, he then side notes of course we don't know if this is the same Holmes after he plants the idea with ABC viewers that the Tea Party may have had a connection to this tragic event.
Then later in the day ABC apologizes for the reference. But obviously many had already seen the original comment on live TV while not this delayed apology that was on the Web, their able to then keep the planted thought from Ross that the Colorado killer was a Tea Party member.
Click to see Web page. (Note ABC apology was ONLY a lead-in to a continuation of another ABC story and not released on its own, in other words buried with updated news.)
So ABC Apologizes. But who cares?
If you are a conservative, hopefully you've had enough of ABC's progressive reporting that continues to try to make conservatives such as Tea Party members as if evil Batman characters. If ABC really wants to apologize, fire Brian Ross for making the false connection without further vetting and challenge George Stephanopoulos, too, who didn't call-out Ross immediately, telling him politely to shut up. These two men are New York City professionals, not some local new employee in a small town in Colorado who is reacting to pressure to get the answer too fast for his bosses.
In summary, ABC on-camera personnel went out of their way to make this incident political as soon as possible, able to go against an organization that is not working toward the election of Barack Obama for president. I believe it is the culture at ABC that is causing this, providing a useless and meaningless apology, and the same culture which is alive and well at the other two on-air networks thriving in "Gotham City."
