WE TOLD YOU SO !

Despite your efforts to cause this, like a self fulfilling prophecy that doesn't fulfill accidently or unconciously, YOU, Mr. Limbaugh, said you wished our president would fail. He didn't fail to bring about change in Health Care despite the tantrums of the Republicans in Congress. He didn't fail to bring about reforms in the entire banking industry, including the part about financial institutions raping customers over credit with deceptive and illegal tactics, he didn't fail to restructure the failing auto industry with courteous dialogue but still got the Empire Builder who had destroyed the Economy of Detroit and for that matter, most of Michigan, repeatedly to step down, he didn't fail to make tax changes that will get the working class to recognize people like you, not the government, not the black people, not the Islamic people, and not the "any other category of people other than the one you belong to", THE GREEDY PEOPLE, as our enemy. You so sorely wanted to see the president fail that you were willing, with all the anger and hate of a suicide bomber to sit and let our nation blow up around all the people who listened to you and counted on your wisdom. I contend this day, as our troops whom you said should stay in Iraq for another "...hundred years if necessary..." are coming home that your propaganda scheme failed. I have living proof in the joy I feel in watching you fail that I was right about you and my mother, who is dead now, didn't live to see you wander away with your head between your legs, trying to prepare for the impact this is going to cause to your listeners while you try to back pedal and restore your dignity in trying to ACT, like all of you Chicken Hawks will be doing (Glen Beck is already rallying the sheep with Sarah Pinhead Palin) trying to act like you are HAPPY that our troups are home after spending seven years moaning that they needed to stay and die so you could make a profit. My final salute to this victory, Mr. Limbaugh, is that I will no longer be writing about you if you keep your head down, don't make outlandish statements, and try to keep your comments limited to your limited audience of Pinheads like you who reflect the lowest of human beings possible in the United States, so this is my signing off on you, Mr. Limbaugh. You simply aren't worth anyone worrying about.

Checking Back In Time

I wanted to discuss my outrage at some blowhole of a radio broadcaster like Rush Limbaugh who cuts people off before they can finish in order to subvert their message and therefore take what they say "Out of Context" since he has no argument for facts. I heard it said again recently that there was a famous quote by Aldous Huxley, "Facts don't cease to exist because they are ignored." Another one that I really like, not sure who said it, "If facts do not fit the theory, then the theory needs to be changed, since you can't change the facts." But that is what we see people trying to do, every day.
Some people kindly refer to it as "history revisionism". Let's call it what it is - LYING! There is no kind way to say it that actually becomes less disgusting, the many lies seen in today's cable news station who is so aptly dubbed by the people I know as FAUX NEWS. You know who I mean. The sad part is that they have really high ratings, along with NASCAR, Professional Wrestling, and the movie business that shows that art doesn't imitate life, it immulates it, it glorifies it, and it substitutes for it, but now matter how close a fictional writer tries to revise our reality on the silver screen, it is still, as the title says on the book it was created from, FICTION. That part of the library gets more attention than any other. We don't go to the Referrence section to find out what the documented evidence is about World War 2, for example but we love to read books like "The Winds of War, War and Remembrances, War Dogs", and the movies like, "The saving of Private Ryan", or "The Thin Red Line" are much more popular than actual documentary footage that shows the bloody, unmitigated, boring truth about battles where the action was spread out over a half mile during a period of over four hours, not just what could fit in a close up with a movie lens in a few minutes.
No One seems to care about the facts anymore. Well this is what I want to see, facts that overshadow the lies. Unfortunately in this day and age we have whole media platforms that are obviously dedicated to lying to the public. I would like this to sound fair and balanced but I can't because it is only a few actors out there who call themselves Journalists while actually portraying a journalist and giving the public what they want to hear. They call it Advocacy Journalism, and it is not, it is LYING. The truth is that truth, honesty, and actually reporting of facts are somewhat boring. The public would rather hear something "with a message" that inspires them to be "internally inspired" and full of "Pride in their country" or someone who is actually a sham if they investigated them and then SEE for themselves that NO ONE can be popular as long as they state the truth.
I have decided today that I am going to write about about truth in journalism and the fact that the United States is based on so many shams that NO ONE can justify it. I will call it "The Boring Truth" the facts that Americans choose to ignore, based on fifty years of the American story. Or maybe like most Americans I just won't bother to look at it and hope it goes away. "YEAH!" (I hate people who type LOL but I will say that even reading the last sentence to myself made me laugh out loud.)
