Fox News and other such jokes....

"Open border 101 types" her comments about a teacher's assignment, to create a political sign, activism encouraged. Since when has asking a student to promote a thought of their own considered taboo? If the child had written "Go God, Pray Hard" the mouthpiece of Fox would have applauded, called in the lawyers for the student's right to be an activist for prayer in school. This mouthpiece's ethnic heritage evident, more so than mine and yet she labels progressive thought and a desire to give each person a chance for freedom and life as the eptiomy of why our country is falling apart. Closed borders and closed minds exist in the same brains.

Unfortunately, Fox News hasn't adopted the tag line of "comedy". Even worse, they take themselves pretty seriously.

At least they finally let Ann go.

Life is interesting...

Keep posting Kristy.....never been a better time for patriotic hippie's. Bruce Spingsteen said it well in his endorsement of Obama, "he speaks to the America I've envisioned in my music for the past 35 years.I also like this quote by Jusuf Islam aka Cat Stevens taken from a longer passage re: 9/11:
"......The real enemy we face is ignorance. We must all be careful not to join the ranks of that army. We must warn of the hazards that this terrifying event could produce as a tool for some dangerous ideologists to promote increased intolerance and hostility against more civilian bystanders; this would equal the mentality which caused two previously devastating world wars. Patience, therefore, is called for by all influential quarters, particularly politicians and media."

Peace,
