I’m going to flat out name a few of the very worst offenders of this incessant cat-fighting.? These folk are not gad-flies, they are crap-flies.? They are attracted by and to crap.? I am absolutely certain that they do NOT do what they do for the good of society nor the good of the country nor the good of their neighbors (well maybe not nieghbors, ‘cuz they all might live in the same socially crippled but rich nieghborhood–paid for by the royalties from their selfish,?’blinders-on’?books etc.).

So here goes:

Rush Limbaugh — the worst of the worst.?

O’reilly — all you need is the last name — can anyone take this guy seriously?

Kieth Olberman — probably hasn’t even nodded to a conservative since junior high.

Ann Coulter — gosh, gotta back up, she’s the worst of the worst a total shock-jock.

Rachel Maddow — double gosh, gotta back up again, she’s the worst of the worst and hasn’t had a noble or original thought since second grade.

Why do these people do what they do?? Money, fame, Money, attention, Money, ego, Money, and oh, yeah, Money.

They want to sell ads on their shows, sells their books on the internet, sell t-shirts at the state fair . . .

And do they do any good?? NO, NO, NO!

They never talk to anyone except their own choir.? What good is that?? With no original thought how can we get out of the mess we are in?? Same old same old – yeah that’s gonna help.

This social-economic-political cat-fighting has got to stop.?

These knuckleheads are not doing anyone any good except themselves.? Don’t even get me started on the ‘moral’ highground.? These folk can’t swim well enough mentally to get close.

They sure don’t change any minds with their mindless,?first grade? wit, one-sided, angry, blaming, myopic view of the world.? They sure as heck don’t offer sound arguments, or competitive alternative — just unsound and damaging vitriol.?

It is absolutely impossible that every republican (or every democrat, as the case may be) is incapable of intelligent thought and worthwhile discourse.? But not according to them.? Wow, I know I have said that our elected officials are not the ‘cream of the crop’ — but they make these talk-show folk look like rocket scientists.? Maybe that is why?they never find ANY value in opposing thought?

Who cares if? O’reilly has sold a few million self-serving books?? Or that Coulter has peddled a few thousand words of ridiculous lop-sided personal impressions.? And the same go to the others — does anybody but liberals ever listen to Olberman and Maddow without puking???? Can anyone with a social conscience bear to hear O’reilly or Limbaugh talk?? I am flat out scared to think about what actually goes on in their minds.

Hey, even the enemy sometimes gets things right.? Give the other guys some credit every once in a while.? Listen for a while, then think about it.? There just might be some nuggets there to help a few of us common folk.

But the big thing here is that we are NOT each other’s enemies.? We do NOT have to snip, bite and scratch at every word from someone whose ideas don’t fit perfectly into our ‘leibens-welt’.?

Why give these trouble makers the attention they so desperately seek?? Can’t the so called news channels give us the news without the one-sided commentary and ugly rhetoric?? America, aren’t we smart enough to be the ‘deciders’ if we are given unfiltered information?

Fair and balanced?? What a joke.? O’reilly, Rush and Coulter are personally responsible for making me anti-republican.? Oberman and Maddow are personally responsible for making me anti-democrat.? We need more independents who consider all the views.? Dare we call them (us) moderates — if so there is hope.

I had, and still have (see yesterday’s blog) hope for BHO.? But, if he doesn’t start setting a better ‘open-dialogue’, ‘non-partisan’, example, then how can we expect the overpaid ‘talking-heads’ to start doing it?? Come on, Mr. President.

Goes thrice for you talking-heads.??Open?mouths?less. Listen more.? Good advice for all of us in fact.

Our country was founded on the ‘good-will’ debate and arguments of thirteen very disparate colonies and their representatives.?? It took compromise to create the Constitution–wasn’t written by one guy.? Didn’t happen with hateful and damaging rhetoric either.? I just remembered what my dear?sweet mom told me so many times over the years.? “if you don’t have something good and worthwhile to say then don’t say it.”

I promise not to watch, read or pay attention to people that won’t even consider that their views might be wrong or that there might be other ways to do things that could work.? Hey, the world is NOT flat.

So long . . . O’reilly, Olberman, Coulter, Maddow, Rush . . . hello . . . who??

Me??

Hope so, you won’t ever find me fighting another cat (not even a cool one).

Stop the cat-fighting.? Let’s make progress and not war or conflict.

Fear mongering and threats are idle when the entire nation is on life support.? Do something worthwhile!? Please, Congressmen &?Senators stop the foolishness and act.? For a life-long (until 4 years ago anyway) republican?I am frustrated by the words and the deeds of members of both parties but particularly the GOP.??I won’t go into the term limit argument again but you know it is out there.

Employ. Stimulate.? Employ. Encourage.? Employ.? And do it now!? Anything less is real PORK!

On the other hand maybe in two years certain elected officials will see that they have commited political suicide.??They will be out the door and then (heaven forbid) one party will control everything in Washington D.C..? Oh, what a ‘party’ that will be??? (welcome back Harry Truman)

Jeez, louise!? Stop shooting yourselves in the foot and start aiming a little higher.?? We can only hope!
