Because I, your pal, am a well rounded person, in my mind anyway, and want to know the many sides of questions. This is why I not only check out the Huffington Post but also sites like The Daily Caller. The Caller is a right leaning site that for the most part seems relatively fair. So what I have been doing lately is leaving comments on certain articles that I find a little misleading. Well the response from our right leaning brethren, to my comments, is not very nice and it could be, in some circles down right mean. Now I know that there are some people on the right who could argue against my points without reverting to name calling, but I have yet to find one on this site.
I have tried to be nice and ignore the insults, to take the higher road so to speak..........but no they keep dragging me down. So I now make it my daily job to go on the Caller web site and piss people off. I don't call people names but I find, on the web, a quote or a article the goes against what ever the post is about, and I am relentless. I post something, they respond, "Your a communist" ...........I post another anti post fact........".liberal nut job ". And on and on it goes. Boy those people are angry. Anyway that my life as it is May 5,2012.
I don't know if it is just that I have been paying more attention to politics or that things are getting very scary in this country. There are states that are taking bargaining rights away from people and in a couple of states they are doing everything to stop women's reproductive rights.
While the people in Washington are dysfunctional and can't do anything,the states, led by conservative governors, are instituting their own ideological leanings into law.
Governor Brownback of Kansas has signed in a ridiculous and probably unlawful law into effect with some really bazaar regulations to ban abortion in Kansas. There is the our governor in Maine who had a mural in the labor department removed because he said it was anti business with out ever seeing the mural.
And things like these are happening all over the U.S.. I was never into conspiracy's but you could make a case that something is going on. I just watched a documentarie on HBO called "Hot Coffee". It is the story behind the McDonald's coffee scalding and other cases that pushed the tort-reform movement. It is a real eye opener, in that the money behind tort reformed comes from very big company's like Exxon and DuPont. And what was most chilling was that their efforts to remove progressive judges and replacing them with conservative judges, who in 99 percent of the time rule in the side of the these large company's, who provided money for their elections through organizations like the the US Chamber of Commerce.
And with the 24 hour a day propaganda machine Fox, people are getting the mesage that the right wants out there and it is reinforced everyday on Fox. To me things are getting a little scary. What do you think?
Here is John Stewert at 4:46 in the clip, clearly explaining what Fox does so well.
