Vitriol, Hate, Spin

Posted with permission from the author:

I for one am tired of hearing about the "Vitriol" and "Hate" some say are used in todays discussions and speech about politics.

It seems that for some, a difference of OPINION and political views is enough to get one classified as a "HATER" or as someone who uses vitriolic speech.

We should be careful not to fall into this trap or mindset, labels are often thrown around to try and silence those that have an honest sincere disagreement with anothers views.

I would like to ask those that are using these terms and throwing these labels around, just what they want and expect from the MILLIONS of Americans who have concerns about our country and the direction it is going.

If you want to have an HONEST straightforward discussion/debate about the state of politics in this country, you MUST consider the views of both sides.
You must understand that there are MILLIONS of Americans who love their country, are extremely concerned about the welfare of their children, are and have been hard working tax paying citizens..... all they have is their VOICES and VOTES to try and keep the country that they love intact.

Consider WHAT they see and HOW they feel when:

They see the Health Care Bill rammed down their throats... with votes that were bought and paid for. When a Congresswoman is shown on national TV saying that " I didn't come cheap, I got a hospital for MY vote."

The speaker of the house laughs when asked about the constitution and answers "Are you serious??, Are you serious??"

When John Kerry says... "The American voter has historically been disinterested in the politics of our country...." and laments that now, the American voter has opened his eyes..... sad that some of us are awake and paying attention now.

When Cass Sunstein, Obama's regulatory Czar says that he believes children should be able to be aborted up to the age of TWO YEARS OLD because they are not self aware.... and that ANIMALS should have the right to sue humans and should have their day in court.

There are MANY examples of acts and statements that cause honest Americans to be concerned.

I would suggest that those that are so very quick to talk about vitriol and hate are those that would see our country ravaged and changed for the worse.

Maybe, just maybe, if we had an administration that followed our constitution
instead of looking at it as an impediment to their way of governing, we wouldn't have this "VITRIOL."

Maybe if the laws of our country were followed and the government DID it's job instead of being concerned about the things that it was not given the power to do, things would be better.

I don't know what the label throwers want.... maybe we should just shut up, sit down, and pay our taxes.... because apparently if we don't, we are haters.

I'm just tired of the smoke and mirrors, tired of of the labels and lies.

Just venting....... sorry for the RANT!!

Mike Rowe: The War on Work

Mike Rowe of Dirty Jobs and countless other shows on Discovery Networks speaks about the War on Work. This should be mandatory viewing for all government employees.

My friends, are you tired? Do you hate to get up in the morning to face another day of Congressional stupidity? Has your 401(k) got up and left? Is that what's bothering you Bunkie?

Well rejoice Dear Hearts! Reverent Jimmy has just the thing to brighten your day...

Oops! ... Found Bill...

So there I was, over at the Rott for some fun and a healthy dose of Right-wing hyperbolic invective...


(Good Times...)

Emperor Misha links a truly excellent article by Gary Graham (one o' them "Hollywood Conservatives I've mentioned before) over at Andrew Breitbart's new site, "Big Hollywood"...


(Breitbart's got a new site - who knew?)

So there I am, enjoying Graham's pissed-off-ness, when suddenly I look to the Right (a tendency of mine) and see none other than...

Bill Whittle!

Writing for "Big Hollywood"!

No short MuscleDaddy-esque blurb either, I'll have you know (I'll be remedying that soon, btw) - but rather a full-on Whittle-esque essay, the likes of which you poor starving saps-in-the-wilderness have been praying for over @ ejectejecteject!
(you know, the name that "E3" stands for?)

As you might imagine - it's great - no way around that.

So head on over there and get your fix - D4, you might want to add it in with the rest in the right sidebar.

Until next time - here I sit, bloggin' away and tripping over Whittle-writings, saving him the trouble of telling us about them,
