This is an open letter to my fellow
Americans. Cut it out people! You are really scaring me!!!
I'll throw out some of the
issues of most concern to me at the moment. I'm hoping we can all have a civilized discussion about these very disturbing issues.
The ultra-Liberal American media-Spun out of control in my book. A perfect example is the film released of the U.S. helicopter attack in Iraq where the two journalists were killed. The U.S. was once again painted as warmongers killing innocent people. Innocent people? Right, two innocent people who were embedded with terrorists. I believe those two journalists were lacking in common sense, and they "happened to be?" in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Today we got to see, and hear, the real story! The original film that was released was doctored. Two of the terrorists, one carrying an AK-47 and the other carrying an RPG, had been cropped out of the video. I believe there might have even been 3 RPGs. There was also no audio to go along with the video. Whoever released this, distorted the facts, doctored the film, and left out the audio to push an agenda.
The facts are that the ground crew had been receiving constant fire from the area. Those two journalists were there, they must have known what was happening or might happen, eh? I say "innocent people?" HAH! So, the inevitable happened...the helicopters came in to support the ground crew that was being fired upon.
What we didn't hear when the video was first aired, was the ongoing dialogue. Nobody went in guns a blazing to shell out some cowboy justice. The final decision to engage was left to the military "lawyer," who was seeing and hearing everything that was left out of the original video. The "lawyer" would have been fully aware of the facts leading up to the helicopter attack, information that we as average citizens are not privy to. And for good cause.
Do not believe everything you read in the news, or on the internet. And do not believe everything you see on TV, or in the movies. Just keep in mind, that everyone has an agenda they are trying to push!
This is
not an anti-Liberal thread. I hope no one reads it that way. It's about the
wingnutty factions on either side! Notice I used the word "ultra." Extremism is another issue I have problems with, which leads to...
Goofy Grass Roots efforts-remember this is not about the left or the right, it's about the wingnuts and the ultras, whose minds are closed and who refuse to see the bigger picture. Examples from both sides would include
Teabaggers and
Code Pink. Which leads me to...
Our American president-This guy really scares me! What/Who is he?
a. A Socialist
b. A Dictator
c. A Marxist
d. An Elitist
e. An Oligarch
f. All of the above
This guy seems to have come out of nowhere. I had never even heard of the junior congressman from Illinois until he was running for president of the United States. Was he even born in this country? Why won't someone produce his birth certificate? Births/Deaths are supposed to be public record. And, why does the first lady refer to Kenya as Pres. Obama's "home country?"
Clearly, our American president doesn't believe in the constitution. And, he is grooming a law professor, who also doesn't believe in the constitution for a position in the United States Supreme Court. The professor thinks he can interpret the constitution anyway he wants. Why not just chuck it out the window? Is no one else bothered by the things this president is doing and by the direction in which he is pushing our country?
