Responding to responders

I really want the blog to be where a dialogue takes place, so here are my thoughts on some of the responses to my last post. First, I totally disagree that those who lean more towards the left have a "talking head" as ridiculous as Ann Coulter. I do not believe that those who speak in favor of the policies of the President, or the policies of the Democratic Party, use the vehicle of propaganda to the degree that the Republicans do, and they do not out right lie. I realize that it is the addicited viewers of Fox News, and not intelligent people, who listen to the Ann Coulters, but these people vote, so yes, this concerns me. Please don't infer that I lack intelligence because the Ann Coulters of the world frighten me. She is heard and she is believed so anyone with intelligence should be wary of her and her kind. No, I have not been in a coma since 2005. Presidents of the past have been disagreed with, they have been disliked, but they have not been as disrespected as this president has. I don't recall members of the opposing party yelling "Liar!" I don't recall watching presidential addresses and seeing members of congress working crossword puzzles or texting on their cell phones. I don't recall any member of congress stating he would not be attending an address because he was going to a Louisanna State football game. Finally, CNN is not the Fox News of the left. It is balanced reporting. Perhaps you are mixing it up with MSNBC which has reporters that dispute the lies and the rhetoric of those who are working to ensure that President Obama is a one term president. I watch it every chance I get. Go Ed!

Hello out there, are you listening?

Hello? Are you there?
While you were sleeping...
Don't know, don't care.
No time, too busy.
What? When did that happen?
Well, what does it mean to us now?
They can't do that!
Um, they did.

Please, no matter how busy you are, no matter how tired you are, pay attention. Watch the news, read the paper. We are not being "governed" we are being led down a very ugly path. What is happening in Michigan is not a reinvention but a destruction. What is happening, or better, not happening in the nation is a controlled agenda by the republicans to oust President Obama because he is black, and the citizens of this country be damned! They are that prejudiced and that anal. I mean, look at them! Could they be any tighter? Scary when it's your way or the highway (remember a guy named Hitler?). The dominate party right now is the Republican Party, and in Michigan they are steam-rolling legislation that will create two distinct classes, the very rich and the poor. In Washington they are blocking every chance to get the country back to where it once was, productive, protective, innovative, and respected. The republican presidential candidates share a common thread, they want to control, they want power, they think they are right (and that's the scariest thing), and they do not know the reality of our world. They are rich, and if they didn't grow up rich, they have been rich for a very long time, and they truly think they are better than us. The very rich just do, it's a fact. And those that think they are superior may pretend to care, but they don't. I am tired, I am frustrated, I am depressed, I am writing my representatives and those in other districts that I have issues with, every day. I am talking about the injustices being done to the workers in this state and country, I am trying to get you, who may be sleeping, to wake up. I am really scared and if your aren't you aren't paying attention. Please start. Oh, and watch this! Tell me what you think, I really need to know.
