Perhaps you were shocked by the title, but here’s a link to last week’s blog. I thought I should do a brief follow-up to let you know that I have not mellowed since I wrote that.

To further clarify my feelings toward the politics of the day – it sucks. Yes, we need to accept the responsibility for electing these people, but the media, social and conventional both, need to accept a big dose of responsibility for their constant attempts to undermine anything their owners don’t agree with. The whole concept of an objective review of damn near anything is long gone. As soon as anyone gets elected, the media creates shocking headlines and often total untruths to shoot down anything they attempt. Unless, of course, the politicians represent a party or philosophy the writer or organization personally like.

There is no question that the media has a serious left-wing bias. The “something-for-nothing-crowd” likes to perpetuate the myth that anyone who tries to make something of themselves is suspect. And some are. But most conservative-minded small business people are simply trying to build a business to support their families and the families of their employees. They are rarely hell bent on undermining society, the environment, or their neighbors. It would be hard to find a “popular” media outlet that agrees with that perspective.

I am a bit bitchy about politicians and the media. It seems to me that they have reached the exalted heights of trustworthiness of lawyers and used car salesmen. Perhaps it is time for me to stop whining and begin wining. After all, it is Saturday and low and behold the sun is shining. Well, it is shining on some people. We Flames fans may not be quite so sunny today. It may be time to take a deep breath…

OK, Calm down
