I find it amusing and a bit scary how easily a group of people can be directed [View all]

to look somewhere else simply by others in the "media" screaming OUTRAGE! HARUMPH!

God did make a farmer, get over it. Focus on what is IMPORTANT in this country.

First there is the Inauguration performance controversy: Did she lip-synch??? Then Super Bowl show controversy. Who Gives a flying FUCK! How many troops died in Iraq and Afghanistan while we bitched back and forth about Beyonce's faux performance?

Who gives a shit about Obama skeet shooting? Really, what the Fuck does that have to do with anything going on in America today?
How many homeless people died yesterday? (You know those people who fake being poor, asking for money all day at street corners then jumping into their well hidden luxury cars to drive off to their opulent homes)
A 3 year old playing with mommies cute pink semi auto shot herself in the face...But Beyonce and a skeet shoot photo is just too damned unacceptable to not say something, this is Christian America people!!

The president's justice Department has taken and expanded a Bush Admin policy of drone strikes. they assert they can assasinate American Citizens without benefit of warrant, trial or PROOF of imminent threat to the country OR the supposed guilt of the "suspected american terrorist SYMPATHIZER. They only have to suspect the person is a bad guy...Where is the bitching on this issue?

No, let's bitch about a skeet shoot photo op, Lip-synching and superbowl ads...

Thank God (if there is one) I have two grandkids who help me escape the ugliness and maintain my sanity. I'm going to go play legos with one now!

bye
