Beware the Political Wingnuts

I agree with every one that the current Hurricane that just made landfall in Louisiana and the gulf coast last night is a natural disaster. Those people need to be helped in their time of need. Although if you take time to think about the the news cycle that we live in you would see that it is ever changing and extremely volatile and sometimes full of issues that should obviously not news worth.

It seems that throughout the course of  week news topics rise and fall in importance by the second. Especially now with the current presidential campaign and the party conventions now upon us. With this a high stress time for the GOP the pundits and political wingnuts are coming out of the wood work to spout extremest ideas in hopes of driving home to the base that the other side is to blame for just about everything.

Rush Limbaugh has just come out accusing President Obama of playing up Hurricane Issac in order to cause the republicans to cancel a day of their convention. I respect these people for their views but I worry that Americans will believe this hog wash. I don't mean to only point out my issues with the conservative wingnuts I know that the highly liberal wingnuts will be out in a week attacking Romney and the republicans for other issues that they will truncate or miss inform their listeners on.

Take time to listen to these extremists over the next 2 weeks and try to see the holes in their stories. Look at the issues for yourself and let me know if there are other ranting extremists out there babbling nonsense in our media and claiming it to be news.

This Election Could Be the Start of the Next "Civil War"

I love my country and believe in individual freedoms as much as the next person but some people just take it too far with the rhetoric they use. So I can't say that I am completely surprised to hear that according to a County Judge in Texas that this coming election in November could bring about the next "Civil War" in which "UN Forces" will be used to keep the American people under the control of the government. 

The Justice in question is the Honorable Justice Tom Head of Texas, He spoke out about the dangers of a President Obama re-election. On Monday August 20th he discussed the possibility of a "Civil War" type of revolt by general Americans because President Obama is giving up U.S. Sovereignty to the United Nations. He speaks of the importance of Militias will be in the event of a war. 

This extreme rhetoric is just one example of what this race has developed into in the past months. I believe that it is actions like that of Judge Head that cause Americans to misunderstand the views of candidates running for political office. 

What do you think this country really needs in a leader? What is this rhetoric of fear doing to us as citizens? Do you think there will be a "Civil War"?
