"Boston" Trumps "Newtown"??
Our Mindless Media reports that, so far, the Boston bombing looks like a domestic job; on the order of Oklahoma City. In some wierd way, we've been conditioned to think that, somehow, "that's better"??
The Media also reports that within hours of the Boston bombing, Mitch and John saw their redneck legions snap back into line. It looks like all the furor over Newtown and our "resolve" to control guns this time, has vanished.
If this pans out, then Al Queda can declare victory and, simply go out of business! Our "politicians" will take over from here?? Are we doomed to settle this the hard and ugly way; all over again??
I turned 21 in 1960 and faced the choice of Nixon or Kennedy for my first vote for President. I picked Nixon because, growing up in Misery and seeing redneck politics in action, I did not want Lyndon Johnson that close to the Presidency! Within a period of two years, I was commissioned in the Air Force, saw brief "duty" in Waco, where the Johnsons controlled the vitriolic media, then wound up in Washington, D.C. -- just in time for the Cuban Missile Crisis.
What happened over the next four years can only be described as violence heaped upon violence; horror upon horror! Johnson got into office anyway! In spite of it all, my greatest disappointment was in the voters in this country. They cried and moaned a lot, and then swallowed a specious "investigation" into the assassination. They never got ANGRY, in a way that I expected from citizens of a country such as ours. (I remember reading in the Washington Post at the time that Gerald Ford, a member of the investigating commission, gave private reports of the commissions proceedings, daily, to J. Edgar Hoover.)
Then Lyndon got "elected" in 1964, and (more violence and assassinations) set the stage for NIXON -- anyway! It's been downhill ever since!
Maybe we're looking in the wrong places for our Terrorists? What if we had criminal background checks on every politician who is elected to office and to every campaign contributor who gives $100 or more?? You think that might clean up our politics, make our economy run right again, and make life safer for us all??
Stay Vigilant! Check them all out!
