Whatever
is said on right-wing talk radio does not stay on right-wing talk radio. It
infects more than who listen, and these heinous lies spread like a virus through
their listeners and contaminate all the people those listeners contact.
Right-wing talkers are more toxic, then, the bubonic plague because you can
kill the rats that carry the infected fleas, but these talking rats are paid
millions to spew their disease and spread it unrestrained through their
mindless minions and beyond.
The more outrageous their idea the longer the shelf life, e.g. Obama was born in Kenya (still living). This is happening from the local to the national level. Here in Washington State we have a member of the Tea Party who professes to believe that it is the environmentalists that have caused global warming. He blames our current energy crisis on the fact that we are not running multiple nuclear power plants in the state. Based on his logic if those darn environmentalist hadn’t stopped the nuclear revolution greenhouse gases would not be what they are today. It is good to see that Mr. Cicotte recognizes that there is greenhouse gas pollution.
Unlike
Mr. Cicotte, right-wing talkers have been so ostracized by the rest of the
world that they are never allowed to speak their peace, yet somehow, they seem
to be doing a great job of it on the radio. Living in Seattle the only talkers
outside of sports talk shows are right-wingers spinning all kinds of
crazy-talk. My favorite in their latest
anti-Obama chorus: President Obama is the reason that the Malaysian airliner
was shot down in Crimea. Of course he
was.
This
invariably leads to the idea that Iraq is falling apart because we are not
still acting as an occupier. It is not the fact that Bush and his minions
destroyed the political infrastructure as bad as it was, and replaced it with
warring factions that want to kill each other to retain or regain power. No one
on the right seems to remember that all occupiers end up being run off by the
occupied. Being an occupier is a zero sum game and that is why empires crumble,
e.g. The Soviet Union in the 1990’s or maybe Iran in the 1980’s.
In the
eyes of the right-wing talkers, there is no need to look at history because
none of that matters since we are the greatest country ever, so we will not
fall prey to historical precedence. From their point of view, the present
problems in Iraq were never caused by our invasion. The present quagmire that
is Iraq was brought about due to the fact there is not enough military hardware
being used by American men and women.
These
right-wingers have learned nothing from our past behaviors, so they want to act
as if our military might will be able to solve any and all problems that arise.
These right-wing talkers want us all to remember that the use of military
action is doing so well in all corners of the globe such as Egypt, Syria, Chechnya, Crimea, Southern
Sudan, Iraq and Afghanistan to
name a few.
While
these right-wingers scream about how the world is falling apart and that
President Obama is sitting on his hands, they have no alternative plans. They
offer no policy ideas except, “Send in more troops”. Well, it is an election
year, so you don’t want to put yourself out there with ideas; it is always
better to scream and shout about of the evil that is in the world and how the
president is taking no action, then, to actually have a plan to put on the
table.
Darrell
Issa has the right idea: make up a phony crisis, spend hundreds of millions of
tax payers’ dollars, then, vote against unemployment benefits for hard working
Americans that have fallen on tough times. Maybe his diversionary tactics will
work, and the American people will vote against their own best interests, thus,
sending the Republicans on to victory in November. Go right-wing talkers may
your contrived crises be heard around the country and bring prosperity to all.
