Been Stocking Up on the Ammo Lately?

If not, you might want to consider it. The White House has been making attempts to block Fox News from interviews. Frankly, this frightens me. It sends a message, a message that says "Don't be critical of the current administration or we will stop giving you access to important stories." George Orwell's 1984 anyone? Control of the media. Why, I do believe that this infringes on the constitution. I can say I was very glad to see the other four news stations in the pool stood up for Fox. These are the things people need to pay attention to. Not subtle "f--- you" messages written in letters (look up Arnold Schwarzenegger for that one), not the extramarital affairs of our congressmen and -women (too many to even count anymore), and not, for goodness sakes, what outrageous outfit Lady Gaga has donned for the evening. No. We as citizens need to pay attention to those who would step on our freedoms, because it is these freedoms that separate us from those third world countries who desperately need help. I know there are those out there who would like to argue that President George W. Bush essentially did the same thing as he and his administration froze out MSNBC toward the end of his presidency. But what is it that our parents recited to us as children? I believe it goes, "two wrongs don't make a right." And how true that is. What the Bush administration did was no more or less wrong than what the current Obama administration is doing now. And frankly, I am much more concerned with the here and now than something that is in the past. And so ladies and gentlemen, arm and brace yourselves, because if this country continues to split in this fashion, we may need a revolution. We are separated now more than ever, at least since The War Between The States. People are clashing, and this will get even uglier before all is settled. I do not like where my thoughts go when I think of the future of this country, but still, they go there. I worry, and so should you.

  1. I like how its always blame bush for everything, thats the best excuse isnt it.
    they did bad in the past, ohhkay, now onto todays events, no no see in the past they did this, and so on. Arent we suppose to learn from the past so as to not repeat it? It's become the reason that they do it today. Anytime we bring up any facts on barak, we are slammed for hate speach, bigotry, and racism.
    This guy , well I mean this whole admin is insane. In a way you're lucky to be in school still, the job market is in ruins and the govt keeps raises taxes and blowing money like its in endless supply. But hey at least they gave themselves raises.
    FOX was a cool news show when I watched it long ago. Thats why the powers that be need to stop it, facts have no place in politics anymore. I miss the days when if your mayor did things 1 10th as criminal as these people today do, the whole town would be at thier door by dawn along with the police. Now the police protect them.

    I live in a town of 14k ppl and 6 police. what a great scene if 14,000 stopped their activities and just made a visit. Never happen tho, we have to work to pay taxes.
