Depth of Ignorance in America

The depth of ignorance in this country is breathtaking. One of the greatest contributors of this is FOX & RW talk radio. 
*If you think the deficit has grown instead of being cut in half
*If you think Pres Obama closed the WWII Memorial
*If you think Obamacare IS the insurance
*If you think the majority of ppl on food stamps are lazy African-Americans
*If you the Red States aren't dependent on the tax dollars from the Blue States 
*If you think the right to own any gun you want supersedes the 1st Amendment
*If you think GOP gives a shit about you
*If you think there is wide-spread voter fraud
*If you think Bush & GOP didn't tank the economy
*If you the GOP represents family values
*If you think unions are destroying the economy
*If you think GOP has done more for vets than Dems
*If you think GOP has passed one jobs bill
*If you think the photo of PBO & staff watching take down of OBL is really the attack on Benghazi 
*If you think Reagan didn't raise taxes or increase the deficit or raise the debt ceiling
*If you think raising the debt limit is anything except paying debts already incurred
*If you think the USA govt is like a household
*If you think households don't run on deficit spending
*If you think PBO can dismantle Obamacare 
*If you think the Dems are responsible for govt shut down
*If you think Obama is a Kenyan socialist fascist communist Marxist Hitler-like Muslim
Then you are not as smart as my 12 yr old granddaughter & you have been brainwashed by FOX & GOP propaganda. 

 This is far from a comprehensive list so please contribute.  After a week or so I will add your comments to the post, and you can email the list to all your friends and relatives who are FOX viewers. Just consider it payback for all the bullshit emails they've sent you. DCNM

Everything Isn't Always About Us

But here is the irony, here’s the thing that all the angry Black people know, and no calmly debating White people want to admit: The entire discussion of race in America centers around the protection of White feelings.  From I Don't Discuss Racism with White People by John Metta.  I've been working on this post for a couple of weeks now, ever since I read John Metta's piece, which I thought was spot on. As I so often do when I'm writing, I struggled with this piece and would put it aside for a day or two. I discussed my observations with friends, both black and white, because I needed their feedback. Finally, because of events that occurred this last week, my thoughts really crystalized, and I was able to finish. My words will certainly make some angry and defensive, which isn't my purpose but is always a byproduct of a piece like this. My hope is some will have an "aha moment," a moment of clarity about our role, or if we even have one, in the Black L...

Part II: The Unbearable Lightness of Being David Sirota

Image
Note:   Earlier this week I published a post about narcissism in zealots, and I used Tim Wise as an example. I also mentioned David Sirota because it was a twitter storm erupting around their tweets that inspired Part I: Tim Wise Meets a Buzz Saw Called Black Twitter . Initially, I planned to write about both men in one post, but there was such an abundance of material, I split the post into two parts.    I don't like David Sirota. Honestly, I loathe him. I'm not one who usually loathes, but then again, I haven't encountered anyone with so many loathsome qualities, except Glenn Greenwald, who is vastly superior in the loathsome quality category.   Anyone who has had an encounter with Sirota is well aware of his inflated sense of his own  self-importance as well as his mistaken notion that he possesses a great intellect. Forgive me for using an old clich é , but if you look up the definition of narcissism in Webster's, you'll see Sirota's picture. Combin...

An Open Letter to Chris Hayes

Image
Dear Chris, I'm sure you must be feeling anguish and anxiety over your show's dismal ratings, especially since you couldn't hang onto to Ed Schultz's audience, the pundit you replaced. The anguish must come from the blame you're receiving for Rachel's tanking numbers. Trust me. She's done that to herself. And certainly, you must feel anxious about losing your job at MSNBC. After all, look what happened to Cenk Uyger after Phil Griffin sent him packing. "Cenk Who?" you ask. My point exactly. So I'm going to offer you some unsolicited advice about how to shore up your numbers and increase your viewership. Your weekend morning show "Up with Chris" received much critical claim, and I'm sure for good reason. I couldn't say though since I didn't watch you much. Praise was heaped on you for having diverse discussion panels of not only people from different racial, ethnic, and cultural backgrounds, education, and professions...
