Oops... People are paying too much attention to the government... Lets change the subject.

Have you ever noticed how quickly the media changes the focus of their magnifying glass? It seems that when the media is done with a certain subject, or it is not sensational anymore, or people are beginning to speak out against their favorite liberal politician, they change the subject and attempt to focus our attention elsewhere.

When the Monica Lewinsky story made people criticize Bill Clinton, the media outlets found another story to cover... Remember Somalia? When Gary Condit's assistant (lover) went missing it was all the rage, then 9/11 happened and we never heard of that young lady again. When the Media thought the people were getting too angry they took the footage off our TVs and moved on to another story. Hmmm, lets see, what was the story... The 9/11 commission and how George bush was responsible for the carnage that occurred that day. Never mind the fact that Bill Clinton was too busy with Monica Lewinsky to go get Bin Laden in 1996 when he was offered to us.

This week the media is diverting our attention away from the government and their attempts to undermine our Constitution with the new scare tactic... SWINE FLU... I understand that this could cause a global pandemic, but so can the common cold (which we cannot cure.) Instead, our fearless leader has decided to let Janet, (Napalitano), tell us that there is no reason to close the southern border to slow down the spread of this strain from Texas to California, then further into the United States. Yet she thinks that Veterans are a problem... (I know she apologized for that remark but the damage is done in my opinion.)

So, now we are looking through the magnifying glass at the Swine Flu, a virus that has killed around 100 people and has infected approximately 2 thousand people out of 6 billion, (that is 100 out of 2,000 out of 6,000,000,000 just to give you a visual comparison.) According to Alcoholalert.com 4,161 people have been killed this year by drunk drivers in America alone, why not showcase that social issue.

The Swine Flu may well mutate and kill more people, but, if the Department of Homeland Security is not concerned enough for the residents of this country to stop people from coming into our Homeland with a potentially deadly strain of the flu, then obviously it is not any more serious than the common cold, (which I say again, there is still no cure for.)

MEDIA MOGULS... TELL US THE TRUTH... NOT THE TRUTH YOU WANT US TO HEAR!

Our Fracturing Country.

I just read an attempt to mitigate the blame for the report issued by the Department of Homeland Security regarding the threat posed by veterans. I am sure that many of you have read the report and perhaps have been following the updates. I am once again going to point out the imbalance in reporting.

In the report released by the AP, writer Eileen Sullivan stated "It (the report) drew angry reactions from Rehbein, conservative bloggers and Republican members of Congress who took to the House floor this week to criticize Napolitano, confirmed to her Cabinet position less than 100 days ago."

Is she trying to tell me that not one Democrat or Liberal criticized the DHS for this report? If this is the case that no Dem or Lib came out against this report then I feel that they need to be summarily removed from office and replaced by someone why understands why they have the freedom that they enjoy. Millions have served and died through the years and various wars and conflicts to ensure that they can have the right to sit in the prized positions that they currently occupy. These people are entitled to their opinion, but they are also responsible for that opinion. They should be dealt with accordingly.

I agree with the ‘republicans and conservatives on this issue, she should be removed or step down. She has no expertise that uniquely qualifies her to be in the position. Obviously this was a political favor appointment like so many others that are made after a new President is elected.

I am against cabinet appointments based solely on favor and not on experience.

Liberal Bias

I was just reading a story from the associated press that stated that 48 percent of Americans feel that America is moving in the right direction. This is getting so aggravating. If the poll had been about any other party whether they be Republican, Independent, Green or anyone else who was not a liberal, this would have stated:

'44 percent of Americans believe the United States is headed in the wrong direction.'

I am so sick of the slant. It seems to me that if the press likes you they publish the positive side of the poll results, but if you have lost their favor, they write about the negative side of the poll results.

This is why our country is in a tailspin. People are too worried about what the polls and the media have to say. Our country is supposed to be lead by US, not the press, the leaders of foreign countries or their citizens. Our country is supposed to be governed by the people, of the people and for the people of America.

I like many in this country have sat idly by for too long and it is time that I start to take note and act to save my country. I saw this statement in a piece written in Bangladesh by William Gomes a human rights activist; " Benjamin Franklin said, “Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for lunch. Liberty is a well-armed lamb contesting the vote!” When the wolves fight for the lamb, democracy, they are fighting to kill it."(April 04 2009) This is particularly relevant in that the political parties in America are acting just like the wolves and if we the people do not stand up, our country will no longer be the country that I promised to die for when I first joined our military.

I am a Patriot, Veteran, defender of our constitution, but most of all I AM AN AMERICAN.
