Red Star agenda in full force

Whereas it has been established that the Red Star has long since dispensed with any pretense of objectivity, and

Whereas it is self-evident the Red Star has an agenda that is consistent with socialist, leftist, deviant and criminal-class-worshiping thought, and

Whereas the Red Star maintains a monopoly on Minneapolis old media,

Rambix hereby declares the Red Star a liberal propaganda organ nonpariel (Is that French? Sorry).

The definition of propaganda is: The systematic propagation of a doctrine or cause or of information reflecting the views and interests of those advocating such a doctrine or cause.

Does the Red Star fit the definition? Let's see.

Rambix has previously documented "the paper's" [as an institutional voice] fascination with, and bias towards, two issues in particular: homosexuality and liberalism. And how is that tendency expressed?

With regard to homosexuality, the paper takes every opportunity to portray homosexuals in a "normal" light (the left hates the word "normal"). To wit, today's Variety section, front page story, "Hand in hand".

The print version of the paper displayed the story accompanied by a large photo array. It is ostensibly a human interest story, but no purpose is noted. It simply describes the lives of two homosexual men and their long relationship. The Red Star attempts to create a heart-warming love story.

Clearly the purpose of the article is to set the table for the ongoing homosexual marriage debate. The writing "normalizes" the relationship. It gives an example of homosexual males in a monogamous relationship.

For others in the Twin Cities gay community, Dedina and Paula provide a reason to believe in monogamy and the power of long-term relationships. They've been together 48 years, helping each other through unemployment, diabetes, depression and even a quintuple bypass surgery.

Interestingly, the pastor at the couple's church all but admits it's unusual for homosexual males to remain monogamous:

"For a gay couple to stay together since they met in 1957 is pretty unusual, particularly for men of their generation -- they're gems of God," said the Rev. Paul Eknes-Tucker, pastor at All God's Children, where the motto on the church program tells worshippers to "just come as you are."

The Red Star's agenda reveals itself near the end of the article:

Having support in an increasingly accepting community has helped Dedina and Paula maintain their relationship for nearly 50 years. But there have been times when they wish the union could be legally on par with heterosexual marriages.

And more:

If they were legally married, the townhouse would flow automatically to the surviving spouse. Widows have no obligation to notify relatives so they can contest a will.

"Even though Bob and Ken have been together 48 years, they have to specifically give notice to relatives to contest the will," Keate said. "In Bob and Ken's case, it's really outrageous they can never become each other's closest relative."

This article by writer Curt Brown, and endorsed by the Red Star, shows the insidious nature of their propaganda. Adults can generally distinguish rhetoric from fact, and the subjective from the objective, but a teen who picks up the paper and reads the article may not have the same judgment capability. The teen or the child no longer have many examples in the MSM with which to counter-balance the onslaught of socialist propaganda, such as the above article. The impressionable child then is at risk of becoming indoctrinated with leftist viewpoints.

The other prominent Red Star agenda is liberalism, as evidenced by the frequent swooning support of the religion of Wellstone. The Red Star does not fail us on this count today as well, in "Wellstones' legacy alive and growing". Huzzah!

The next time you see such a glowing article in the Red Star written about a conservative will be the first time.

Nearly three years after his death, Paul Wellstone's legacy shows no sign of diminishing. Two books about the senator were published this month alone. Wellstone Action!, a liberal political training center based in St. Paul, boasts 8,500 alumni across the country and now is adding "advanced placement" classes.

And at least a dozen buildings are named after Wellstone and/or his wife, Sheila, including schools, a housing complex and a battered women's center.

Soon there will be a movement to change the name of Minneapolis to Wellstone! The city could be painted green and everyone would receive free government handouts. It would be Utopia.

Construction workers are pouring sidewalks at the nearly-finished Paul and Sheila Wellstone Center for Community Building in St. Paul ... For people who supported the Wellstones, all this is a fitting tribute to a remarkable couple.

Indeed. There is plenty of Wellstone! merchandise to fill your home:

On one wall was a poster for "Wellstone World Music Day," which commemorated the first anniversary of his death. A bookshelf full of "Vote" videos were ready for future get-out-the-vote drives. A copy of "Wellstone!" -- a feature-length documentary about the lives of Paul and Sheila -- was in a bag on the floor.

Well, the left and their flagship Red Star love Wellstone! even more than they love deviant lifestyles. What happens then if a homosexual couple have a Wellstone! bumper sticker next to the rainbow sticker? It would be almost unimaginably wonderful!

Isn't it obvious?
