WHY DID WE HAVE A PEP RALLY IN ARIZONA LAST NIGHT?
Hello, everybody. I watched bits and pieces of the “festivities” yesterday, and I have a few thoughts to share:
1.) President Obama’s speech was VERY good. Let’s get that right out of the way. I am not a “hater,” make no mistake. Neither am I a big fan.
2.) This had the feel of a “pep rally”, and that really bothered me.
3.) Large parts of it felt very contrived to me.
4.) For some reason, the left WILL NOT stop the “blame game.” Why?
The fact that the left continues to throw molotov cocktails at the right and talk radio simply shows me what many of the far left are made of, or afraid of. Open dialog threatens their feeble grasp on power.
Why does anyone have to grasp power? Free speech is, to me, the most important freedom we Americans have that distinguishes us from MANY in the world.
Now, we have the new Governor of RI forbidding any public employee from appearing on “talk radio”, as it is a “profit driven, entertainment outlet”, or somesuch. Understand, America, PROFITS ARE EVIL!
NPR is okay, though. No profit, hence, no problem.
In many cases, “talk radio” is an opportunity for folks in “Tunafish, Wyoming” to get something off their chest, because, as some of us know, getting a “letter to the editor” published is an especially rare occasion. Perhaps it could be considered a “pressure valve”.
MAYBE it gives the average American (AKA dumb hick) a chance to know they are not alone - in their:
“Bigoted, Racist, Homophobic, Islamaphobic, Gay - Bashing, Government Hating, Gun - Clinging, God Clinging, Anti - Womens’ Rights, Environment - Destroying, WACKO philosophies.
It must REALLY suck to carry around that much hatred and angst. It’s amazing how many names the far left has assigned to people that don’t TOE THE PARTY LINE.
WELL. Getting back to the original point, It felt wrong that there was not a sense of solemn awareness, overall, of the gravity of what had transpired in Tucson.
Too much applause for me.
Just my thoughts. Take them or leave them. I love free speech.
Over and out,
Stephen Charles
P.S. My thoughts and prayers have been, and will continue to be, going out to the families of, and those directly impacted by these horrible events. I am very encouraged by Congresswoman Gifford’s progress, as I’m sure many of you are.
Interesting commentary, but if that is what you think the "average American" is, you should get out of the house more. Don't just drive through anywhere USA, stop and stay awhile.
ReplyDeleteAnonymous-
ReplyDeletePerhaps you misunderstood me. "AKA Dumb Hick" was entirely sarcastic.
I have spent a lot of time in "Anywhere USA", and have seen enough proof that Americans are NOT dumb hicks.
Or, perhaps you caught my sarcasm and disagree. That would be sad, to me.
Thanks for your comment.
Stephen
Why wasn't there the same concern about the Fort Hood Massacre? Oh, soldiers don't matter just politicians? The Arizona shooter was a terrorist but not Assan? I agree with your assessment. I also read your comments about "feeding the poor" article....very interesting. Lorielou
ReplyDeletei get it steve. and i believe that 'all' that obama says or does is carefully scripted to elicit the exact response that is needed to further his cause, which is, of course, to break this nation into as many tiny bits and pieces as he can. when bernanke geitner and obama get done with the economy there will not be one nickel on another. its ok with me. the america i knew and loved is dead and gone. all that is left is a memory of past greatness and honor. Oh, we still have great individuals with honor here but they are an endangered few. we used to export top notch manufactured goods and morality and liberty...but now we export hypersexualized entertainment and little else. look at the great chapter of revelation and read about "mystery babylon" the great whore....that is a description of our country to a 'TEE'. as we fall into confusion and chaos with a desperate population crawling over each other for a crust of bread or a dram of water, try to remember if it was the materialism you loved or the liberty. The serpent, the evil one walks among us, now. don't believe him when he tells you he can help. he can't.
