How Far We’ve Fallen!

I was talking with someone today and it brought up some thoughts so I thought I would share them with you.

Go get a history book and look back to when the USA was in the gloomiest times of World War II

We, the United States did what we needed to do. I was watching a show on Nazism in the USA. Did you know that in addition to the Japanese put in internment camps, there were 1000’s of Germans put into the same camps, and 1000’s of Italians too?

Well, it’s true.

The government of the USA did what it was supposed to do… what ANY responsible government will do… the utmost thing of importance of ANY government to it’s promise to it’s people…

No… not be politically correct. No… not hope our enemies will love us if we only would be more like them. No… not worry about if people around the world like us

The government took on the responsibility to uphold the country. To look out for the welfare of the people. To do what is best for the country Fuck the rest.

And the people respected and understood that. They trusted their government.

You will see, most of the people willingly made sacrifices. We were all in it together.

Rationing of gas. Steel pennies rather than copper because copper was needed for the war effort. Congress behind the president, not sniping and whining, praising the enemy and attacking those brave and thoughtful enough to put on a uniform of the US military and fight for us on our behalf. The press was not out taking potshots… actually calling the shots. We had real leaders then.

Captain America

Cartoonists created comic book heroes. Captain America… Superman… They took on the bad guys. They uplifted the spirits of the people of the USA.

So what has the wonderful elites in publishing — newspapers, magazines, TV news, radio news, and yes… comic books done?

They killed Captain America… They killed Superman!

Why? To discourage the people?… You decide.

All I know

All I know is I see a bunch of weak no backbone politicians on all sides. Spineless worms who if they saw a shadow would run from it. But still talk tough.

You know… the classic bully

They have no principles… except to get elected, and re-elected. Why? So they can get more and more ever expanding power. They think they can dictate to the world.

And Who is Controlling the Politicians?

Not you and me! Not the voters.

If it’s not the voters, who could it be?

Easy answer really… if you look carefully.

It’s the Mainstream Press

The NY Times with their “All the news that’s fit to print” theme. Of course they will print an editorial by Obama… their candidate of choice, and refuse to print one by McCain (frankly I don’t understand how either one could be the standard bearer for their respective parties. They are both inept, corrupt dirty and impressed by their own press clippings)

Obama goes overseas and the big three ABC, NBC, CBS send their nightly anchors to cover him, all swooning like little girls did when the Beatles first came to the USA. No coverage of McCain, or Bob Barr (Libertarian Party ), or Ralph Nader, or any of the other candidates. As if they didn’t exist.

Then the mainstream press self justifies their bias claiming it is not bias on their part.

It Amazes Me

It amazes me that the people elected to congress are so weak kneed, so spineless (there are a couple of exceptions to this rule, but not many) that seeing the overt bias and… dare I say it… prejudice of the mainstream press they still coddle up to them, doing the bidding of some jerk who just graduated journalism school or some over priced puff who talks tough (Dan Rather comes to mind), but falls over easily when pushed. And worst yet, these dolts, don’t live in the real world.

We’re the Press

“We’re the press” they say. As if that justifies anything. “We are supposed to be unbiased” they say. But they obviously are not. “We… the press… we know what’s best for the people… because we are the press.”

And these incompetents are leading the other incompetents who write and pass laws, and hope they will get some nice write up in the paper

I don’t know about you. But I am thoroughly disgusted.
