Actually its more about a news organization taking your same cavalier attitude towards protesters because they happen to disagree with their political ideals.
I had the worst day, was in a foul mood all day. Just knew this was going to happen, didn't want to lose but could stomach a loss if we played hard. I was thinking tonight about following Nascar or some other sport that I really don't care about. Trying to think that there are more important things than sports, just hard to do when you have been so disappointed after all of these years. Back on topic, I just worry that this country and everyone in it just worries about themselves and doesn't give two shakes what is right or wrong. We need to have some standards and live by them. Some of these news clips make me sad, I wasn't old enough to see Walter Cronkite but I can't imagine him saying stuff like these "reporters" say on the air. One of our local newscasters went on some rant on air about some newspaper writing something about her unprofessionalism last year. She went off and put a tiara on her head and told the newspaper not to mess with the "queen" as she called herself. She should have been fired on the spot, but between Britney Spears stories and stories about the motorcross or the rodeo coming to town the local news doesn't care what they say.
I agree with you (if I'm not missing your point) that we no longer have a free and unbiased press and regrettably never will again.
Obama is trying to get the country out of a recession and the teabaggers are doing all they can to undermine his efforts. It's very clear that they want America to fail.
They want Obama's America to fail, and in case Fox News hasn't told you yet, there's a big. fuck. difference.
If Obama's America is a socialist government Yes. They want Obama's america to fail. If Obama's America is one where you have to pay for your neighbor's house. Yes. They want Obama's america to fail. If Obama's America is one where private companies are bailed out by the government. Yes. They want Obama's america to fail. If Obama's America is one where you are punished for success and rewarded by failure and mediocrity. Yes. They want Obama's america to fail.
If Obama's America is one where you are raped by nazis every day. Yes. They want Obama's America to fail. Saying it doesn't make it true.
It's not. You don't. So I guess they wanted Bush's America to fail too, then? Somehow I doubt it. Oh, come on. This is a typical conservative tactic: boil down any situation that's not mass tax cuts to "punishing the rich" and "rewarding failure." Way to keep it realistic. Good show.
Well, that's what they're protesting. As much as you stating they want America to fail, these points are just as valid as your presumptions.
That's like wishing for the Blazers to lose because Frye is your favorite player and they leave him on the bench. Someone who wishes that the Blazers lose isn't really a fan of the Blazers. barfo
To go with the Blazer comparison that actually makes sense: It is like a Blazer fan wanting a trade to fail that trades Oden for Shaq, and LMA for Duncan... right now. Sure, Shaq and Duncan would possibly help us win a couple more games right now. But the cost is destroying our future.
Depends on what you mean by 'fail'. If by 'fail' you mean 'not happen', then I don't have a problem with it. If by 'fail' you mean 'happen but bring disastrous consequences', then I think that's just wishing ill on the team. Since Obama is in fact already President, it seems to me that wishing for him to fail is closer to the latter than the former. barfo
