If what I see on TV or the Internet isn't always true then why are there so many people angrily protesting exactly what they see on TV and the Internet?
Let me be clear: The recent 'tea party' in Washington DC contained hundreds of people with signs and shouting that our President is a communist, socialist, racist, nazi, etc. Where do they get those ideas? Fox News, Rush Limbaugh and every Republican and right-wing conservative website. I simply don't understand. Well I do understand why those sources brainwash people into thinking that their word is truth but I don't understand why people are so gullible; so blind.
Recently I started watching CBS Sunday Morning again, after a short stint of not watching it. This show is like a PBS version of the important, informative news that Fox News, Rush and the afore mentioned websites forgot to tell anyone about or simply decided that the real news is whatever their psycotic minds made it to be. I bring up this show because this past Sunday they had a story about the 'tea party' and spoke with some of the people and all I could see were people with blinders implanted on their faces by those that weren't happy that the elephants lost control of the government.
They are scared and they should be. They are about to lose their cushion - you know, the one they sit on when they plant their butts down at a table to eat fresh lobster and drink fine wine with their friends, who aren't really friends but just acquaintances, and talk about how much money they make, how many cars they have, how large their beach house is and how many mistresses they have. Man, life is great when you have control. It really sucks when you lose it.
Now your lobster is a hamburger, the wine is iced tea, the 'friends' no longer talk to you, the salary you bragged about is now cut in half, you drive a used domestic sedan, your beach house washed away in the last hurricane and your insurance won't cover it. To top it off, the only cushion you have is the fat ass that develops after only a week of eating fast food and your mistresses told your wife about your affair. Now you're homeless, jobless, broke and nobody loves you.
I too would be scared if I were dumb enough to be a part of any
party where the topic of the year is to put everyone in the country in the same mindset as you are in just because you don't want to be left alone without your
things. If the donkeys were truely in control of this government, anyone caught brainwashing would be tried and convicted as a felon and spend the rest of their lives in a prison, not a
retreat like some white-collar convicts get, a real prison.
You shouldn't be scared. You should be happy that the Democrats feel so sad for you that they are not persuing charging anyone with a crime for the past 8-1/2 crappy years that we have all endured, including Bush & Cheney but especially Rush, Glenn and everyone else at Fox News.
Stop pushing your fears onto the American public. You are going to create a civil war, of course that's what you want.
Just remember that we are already involved in 2 wars, that we know about. Another one would just take more of your cushion so you'd be no better off than you are now. You'd be like the rest of us poor and middle-class hard-working Americans, stuck in a war you can't win.
