Death Panels. Give me a break. The only thing ‘downright evil’ going on right now is the ginning up of crap and the smearing of this country with the stink of it. On both sides. If we are ever going to create Death Panels in this country let’s create one for those who think so little of the American people that they use and abuse the power of language to advance their agendas. And we call them leaders and give them air time. We not they.
Let’s also create a Death Panel for the media heads who insist on pushing the controversy and not the issues. I think the newspaper or the TV outlet that decided not to play the Rupert Murdoch sensationalism game and instead devote their coverage to pointing out when the players make idiotic and false statements would probably see their fate turn around. Actually we don’t need to create a Death Panel in this case. The media moguls have already created their own path to extinction.
And one more Death Panel. Again, for both sides of the screaming. Any parent that fills their child’s ears with the garbage and the vitriol that is being tossed around by both sides needs to be brought up short. You may win your fight today, but you are dooming your progeny to a disturbing hell tomorrow.
For those who think I’m overreacting here and that this is all political speech and that we should let it run its course I have this to say. Do not demean the words ‘political’ and ‘speech’ so. Do not demean what is left of your own intelligence so. Our political discourse has been reduced to the braying of a pack of wild dogs while they tear at each other for the leavings in a garbage can. For those who say they want their country back. Start with yourself and take some of your own dignity back first. Otherwise, quit sucking the oxygen out of the atmosphere.
