Prickly City! / Something That's Funny And Well Written!
Ha ha ha ha ha. I love it when a right wing tool like Stantis offers up his idea of what yin and yang/this and that/positive and negative are in the world. I think it reveals a lot.
Seriously - CNN is to the left what Fox News is to the right? Has he even watched CNN this year? They've been just as right wing toolie as Stantis. Outside of Jack Cafferty their networks are filled with Republican apologists, most obviously Glenn Beck and his ratings bottom scraper of a show on Headline News. Now if Stantis had offered up MSNBC I might have understood - even the New York Times fell into the trap of trying to say they're a "liberal" news network (by suggesting that Chris Matthews of all people is a liberal, right alongside admitted leftie Keith Olbermann, who's the only man with the balls to have a show that actually criticizes Bush and the Republicans on a daily basis that isn't on Comedy Central).
But CNN? Am I to believe that Wolf Blitzer is the mirror image of Brit Hume? Come on, Stantis - maybe you would actually learn a thing or two about the stuff you're ranting about before throwing it out there because Bill O'Reilly told you CNN was part of the looney left conspiracy to dominate our "liberal" media.
From there Stantis proceeds to lecture us as to how wrong it is to classify things as either right or left - "self-made boxes can get pretty snug." This from the man whose ENTIRE CAREER is based on saying how he and his friends on the right are correct on everything and everybody on the left is wrong. Maybe that's a typo, and Carmen was supposed to say "self-made boxes can get pretty SMUG," because that's how Stantis has been during his run at Prickly City.
What's awesome is that by Stantis saying "Right/Left" and "Surge/Withdrawl," he confuses his own point by starting things off with "Fox/CNN." By putting CNN is his own self-made box and classifying them as on the left side of things he's only showing the tiny ignorant box he's made for himself - a box that only has access to Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, and BillO for his "news" and "insights." Way to go, Stantis - even when you think you're making a good point, you're not and wouldn't know reality and truth if it bit you on the ass.
Unless the point is that you're a biased Bush Republican who always thinks you're right and everybody else is wrong. If that's the case, Mission Accomplished.
Comments
The 11-11-07 in the LATimes shows boxes, with the punchline referring to "self-made boxes". Sorry, the boxes and the "them/us" mentality and the ugliness that modern politics is is pure Limbaugh. Prior to Rush there was an acceptance of opposing views, rather than the current infantile mocking he started. And as he admits, it's all for ratings. He gave the weak-minded an identity and then fed them a voice. My party was boarded by pirates in its time of weakness and has become the monster that ate the USA. Our respect in the world is gone, and we will never get it back. The brilliant minds that the Republicans once were have been shoved into the margins by the shrill voices that don't even take thenselves seriously. The intellectual giants like Buckley and Bork are ignored while the village idiot reigns. The ultimate insult will be when he pardons himself at the end of his catastrophic administration. See, I have become them. I apologize, and respect, like and admire the president because he is our President. I wish him the best, and hope he is right about more of his choices. When Truman and Eisenhower heard that an armistice was to be declared, both objected publicly, as they were both in the military. They said that we were going to beat the Germans soon, and it was important that we beat them so they would know that we could and had. Both said that if we did not beat them convincingly then, we would be fighting them again in 25 years. Thus WWII. (I admit that I have not researched this story, but I am only passing it along.) The point is though, that Hussein was not beat convincingly in Desert Storm, and if we had not gone back and finished the job there is no telling what he would have done, but it probably would have been worse than we would have imagined. He had to be beat finally because he was a mad-dog rogue that knew enough about us to do tremendous harm. The President sold that very necessary action at great cost to himself and his administration. While he was not a great enough communicator to rally the country to that cause, he was a great enough President to know that it had to be done. I hope he eventually gets the credit he deserves for what will always be the great issue of his administration. If Limbuagh and the "thought-free" ones were not hogging all the spotlight, the thinkers could have helped the country understand the necessity and nobility of the ongoing conflict. I sure miss Nixon! He had his problems like everyone, but he was effective like no one else.
