What was it Nixon used to say....and every President since?
"My Fellow Americans", is there a one of us who have identified as "Liberal", or "Democratic" or"Moderate" who were not appalled how we were "taken to the River"* (love the song, hate the concept) by THIS President, and Mr. Reagan and Bush 2.
Let's recap:
2007 AD while Sean Hannity was telling us ALL on WBS-FM (I was in Atlanta) and every other affiliate how about how GREAT it was that "starter homes cost $250,000, while everyone listening put their incredulity on hold.
That is until TWO DAYS later when he, Mr. Hannity, started telling everyone to "JUMP" (out of the housing market) and it was President Obama's fault. Not yet, but soon to be.
Over the next year, our Country "elected" a black man as President. Of course that was overwhelmingly threatening to White American Men, and a group of our Representatives got together (much like the Cub Scouts sulking about punishment by their mothers) and declared they would not "allow" the newly elected President to ...now this is important..."would not allow the newly elcected President to perform adequately...if at all, within HIS Elected Position as President of the United States of America. The first President since Clinton to win with the POPULAR vote as well as electoral votes.
And while this should be one of the biggest stories of the 21st Century, I am currently watching HIGHLY paid pundits on MY FORMERLY FAVORITE TV STATION now bewailing the fact that N. Korea HACKED INTO ONE OF THE BIGGEST corporations in America, Sony ( yes, they started as a Japanese corp but ANYONE over the age of 50 knows how they affect American commerce) because they hacked a movie? A movie about the assassination of their leader, correct?
I hope that the insensitivity of the American public, who does not recognize the disdain those from another country may feel about a movie "killing-"off their leader. Maybe because many haven't woken up to HOW MANY TIMES Americans threaten our President, daily.erhaps it is because, just a few days after Conservative Protesters stood outside of our own White House, brandishing ropes with lynch knots and signs about 'lynching, murdering' the President of the United States' while....nothing seems to have happened to them. They are "traitors" by definition of law but...did anyone of them get investigated? I'm willing to bet (no more than 0.50) not!
How does THAT make you feel as an American, A voter, A Moderate, Progressive or Liberal?
AND, how does this make you feel Mr. or Mrs. Conservative...you who '"claim" to love your country? Perhaps you ought to find out what "loving one's country" actually means?
Why are we NOT watching information about how FOOD & MEDICINE are going to be taken away from the American public by the GOPTP? Why is it that we are to keep on hurting CUBA...who's decensdents many of us know?
What is important to the United States....? I will have to guess...the PEOPLE of the United States. Can we NOT get a dialogue where the needs of the AMERICAN people are first and foremost?
