HEARD ON THE MEDIA AND IN MY HEAD

Re: tragedy shooting at Ft. Hood 11/5/09, : 'Ambulances were driving by, their sirens flashing.' delivered by an adorable young blonde newscaster.

On capturing soldiers, "Put up your hands and throw down your arms." by another newscaster a while ago as he described soldiers capturing enemies.

John Boehner, who should know better, quoted (11/5) in a speech to Michelle Bachman's motley group: waving a folded up copy of, he said, the Constitution, and proceeded to quote from it...but, in fact was quoting from the preamble of the Declaration of Independence, as did another speaker, pontificating that the Constitution which starts 'We the people....' also from the Declaration of Independence. We certainly do not need politicians who cannot differentiate between the Declaration of Independence and our Constitution...nor do we need them in leadership positions as House Minority Leader and loud mouth.

Michelle Bachman was quoting a long dead politician as saying we need a revolution every now and again. Unless I misunderstood what I learned in government classes, this is a no-no and rather subject to punishment...plotting to overthrow the government. Am I mistaken or was a law passed to change this, too, when my back was turned? Click here to learn how people lobby for your total destruction in the name of your salvation. She makes a strong plea, "Everyone needs to come to Washington tomorrow." That request really makes a lot of sense, doesn't it. As much as all the rest of the nonsense she purports to be truth!

For many years I have maintained that political jobs should not be voted on by people who have no idea what it takes to do the job, but rather, there should be tests and standards to be passed, just like any other meaningful job. The government should look at its Bible as having been written at a time when today's world could not have been anticipated, just as the Holy Bible no longer relates to the current real world though many people like to read into it whatever they want it to say.

SO MUCH FOR THE DREAM OF UNITY, WINNERS AND LOSERS

It seems that the Media is now in a contest which will ultimately prove which is the most powerful by proving they can make the biggest distortions and mangle the truth while sustaining their viewership. Rush Limbaugh has been proven in lies for so many years it amazes me that so many people still believe him. It doesn't really matter that people believe him because he is Rush, but they believe him when all logic flies away in front of their face.

Fox News' Senior Vice President for Programming admitted that the network is consciously aiming to be "the voice of opposition" to the Obama. Fox News has wasted no time in opposing the Obama administration's agenda. For example, the network has unleashed a steady drum beat of misinformation and propaganda against the Employee Free Choice Act. In fact, when it comes to challenging the Obama administration, Fox News CEO Roger Ailes has compared the network to "the Alamo."

Major media ought to go to some kids' sports games to learn about team play. We are in a mess. Emotions are volatile and the ambience in most places feels and sounds dangerous to our normal way of 'live and let live' life. Meanwhile we have another loose cannon in Michelle Bachman. Posted by Steve Benen, Washington Monthly at 10:50 AM on March 23, 2009. "Crazy Rep. Michele Bachmann Calls for Armed Revolution" Bachmann appeared over the weekend on the First Team radio show with John Hinderaker and Brian Ward, speaking about the horrible stuff that the Democrats are doing: "I'm a foreign correspondent on enemy lines and I try to let everyone back here in Minnesota know exactly the nefarious activities that are taking place in Washington."
