We all know the rabble is easily influenced to riot and violence. We are watching fools under cover of the right to free speech engaged in some very dangerous opinions and directions. The 'Reverend' Jones in Florida threatening to burn copies of the Quran is among those within the tea partiers doing just that. Some, like Michele Bachmann, Sara Palin, Newt Gingrich, Glenn Beck, Dick Armey, and so many others are worse than any terrorist threat from Al Qaeda because they are being supported by Americans whereas it is liklely that fewer Americans directly support Al Qaeda.
It is time for me to offer a possible correction to my wild, stated, fantasies about the Saudi Arabian who owns 7% of Fox News. A friend recently sent me the following: "The fact that Prince Alweleed bin Talal and Osama bin Laden both come from the same country hardly suffices as proof that these two men collude. If anything, Alweleed's royal background indicates that such collusion is highly unlikely. The Saudi royalty were so appalled by bin Laden's radical views that they revoked his Saudi citizenship in 1992. I would also point out that bin Laden's program would seriously undermine the royal families investments. Remember, not all Saudis think alike"
However, in the interest of 'fair and balanced' which is not often reflected by Fox News, I felt I should share that informatikon. We can only hope for the best in those things over which we have no control.
