Just...Shut...UP
OK, I have just about had it with this non-stop televising of months-old footage of hostages of Islamist barbarians begging for mercy. This is such an enormous public disservice on so many levels that it makes one wonder if we are not being fed a pirated signal from Al Jazeera while watching our own networks.
Furthermore the network holier than thous are playing right into the hands of the monsters who behead innocent human beings for sport… actually it is more accurate to say that they behead human beings for airtime… and airtime is exactly what the morons at CBS, NBC, ABC, CNN and yes, even FOX is giving them. Why? Why are we allowing the media to feed the flames of our enemies and put American lives in greater jeapordy?.
Is it new news that innocent civilians have been kidnapped and butchered on camera? No, this “news flash, gotta run it now” footage is from months ago… so what in the hell is our news media doing putting it as the lead story on the evening news and endangeing even more innocents? Why are they adding fuel to the murderers’ fire…is it just so they can take yet another tired shot at our President? Is it because your party masters are telling you how to spin it still? Still feeling a few sour grapes about the election are we? Well, get yourselves. What kind of planet are you living on? Where is your shame?
I have always shied away from censorship. But what has happened to our news media? Didn’t our media once upon a time support our war effort? Newsreels of our proud forces taking another South Pacific atoll, marching towards victory? With music playing in the background?
Those were the days... as opposed to some snotty elitist worm saying something like “think of thouse thousands of bodies lying lifeless in the sands of Iwo Jima—lives completely wasted. And for what? Why are we fighting Japan anyway? So their Generals got a little carried away at Pearl Harbor..but you and I and the rest of Europe knows that if we just show our compassion and love for the planet and just make peace with the Japanese and Germans, all will be well. Don't listen to Churchill, he knows nothing--he is a right wing zealot. All we need to do is to say 'I'm sorry' to Hitler and Tojo and withdraw the troops and then send Germany and Japan all the money they need to rebuild. We'll and do some international ass-kissing in the New York Times...and all will be well. We'll just live our happy little utopian life. "
Right? Is that how our media acted in WWII? Becasue it sure as hell is how they are acting now. Was the press calling WWII the "wrong war, wrong place, wrong time?" Or did the media, like the rest of patriotic Americans, try to help us to win?
If the limosine liberal elitist media execs won’t do something about their off the reservation news divisions, then we the people need to. Vote with your pocketbooks. Vote with your letters to the editor. Vote with canceling subscriptions, turning off the channels that engage in this treason and not buying the products they advertise. People are dying and the network execs are raking in profits at the expense of the President and the American people, and our brave men and women. Not to mention millions of Iraqis who see the dream of freedom for the first time in their entire lives.
What is wrong with this picture? ??
I hate to get on a a bit of a rant here, but enough is enough. To Dan, and Peter and Brian and Wolf, and yes, even you Shep: just can it for a change. Just cut the crap.
And while you are at it, how about supporting the good guys for a change? How about standing behind our President for a change instead of working to put our country and the lives of our soldiers at more of a disadvantage because you can’t get over your bitterness that you lost. We elect the winners, not you. After the last three election cycles, what part of “partisanship and anti-Americanism is not your job” do you not understand? And just who do you people think you are that you presume to have the right to do this to the rest of us and those who are dying for us every day. Only to have you crap on everything they are trying to do so you can be free to run your mouths and look in the mirror and count your money.
Enough...
