Trying to cope in my little corner of the world

America is a big country. Americans are a diverse people. There are pockets of good folks as there are pockets of not-so-good folks. It follows that in every barrel of apples there will be those that are rotten.

But how do the clean and not yet rotted apples cope when the rottenness is broadcast not only through close proximity of the rotten apple but also by the press and the media?

We no longer have a free press to champion the truth. We no longer have the media functioning as the all-seeing eye to keep things in check. Instead we have a press that is totally owned by the White House. We have media that are disciples of the Left. I have yet to read a truthful account of some newsworthy event printed. I have yet to hear an unbiased news and investigative commentary of how this administration is so rapidly eroding our economic system of free enterprise turning it into a bankrupt, penniless and profligate house.

What is totally damning is the oblivious population that remains blind and deaf to all these things happening around them. What kind of event will wake up fellow Americans from their sugar-induced slumber? Another terrorist attack? Pestilence? Famine? Confiscation of their firearms? The silencing of conservative Talk Radio? They would just as soon watch all the television over-coverage of the death of Michael Jackson rather than call their representatives to let them know that the Cap and Trade bill is bad legislation. I made my phone call to my representative. He assured me he would vote NO.

In my little corner of the world, I feel only comfort and peace amid all the national turbulence of legislative bartering of votes to pass a destructive bill, such as, the Cap and Trade. The common citizen however, goes on with his or her life as usual - no voltage surges and spikes to rock his home PC systems, she can still watch Oprah on TV, and the kids can still play video games. Whatever is happening in Washington, DC is of no concern to the people. Never mind that the administration and the majority Democratic Congress are always trying to raise taxes in an effort to fuel their own over-spending binges.

With the passing of each B. Hussein Obama day, it is getting harder and harder to cope. There is so much stealth going on at the hands of this president it is incredible. Congress is a rubber stamp. The Republicans have been rendered impotent by Nancy Pelosi. There is hardly any resistance from anybody anymore. Still this president signs Executive Orders bypassing his rubber stamp Congress to pass his programs, like the $20 billion for the Hamas terrorists to be repatriated to the US. For another thing, I think Hussein Obama doesn't want to wind up owing so much goodwill from Nancy Pelosi that is why he is bypassing Congress. Clever!
