I've been out sick

So, while trying to avoid work, bored with tv, eyes too tired to read, I polluted my mind for the last few days and listened to right wing radio. When my eyes weren’t too tired, I perused the right wing blogs and news organizations. I learned some fascinating things, and as such I am typing this from beneath my desk.

Things I learned: I may be too late in buying my guns and ammunition. Obama will quickly move to first ban gun purchases, then ammunition. Once those are done, he will begin confiscation the guns people do have. Any reference to God (the Christian God - my God) will be banned from any government activity. It will be taken off currency and the Pledge of Allegiance. Once this is done, Obama will begin putting restrictions on churches, such as size of congregations and the way they can preach. No such restrictions will be placed on Muslim institutions. Obama will, in his first days, surrender the nation to the terrorists. We will be required to learn Arabic in order to continue to work, play or buy anything. Obama will abandon the Israelis, and the millions of Jews in Israel will either die or be forced into exile. Or, they will be involved in the largest war ever in the Middle East, with the potential for several nukes to be used. Democrats will be shocked that Obama hasn’t fixed everything within days of taking office. The Dems will march in anger that he hasn’t withdrawn the troops by the end of the week and closed Guananamo by the end of the month. Wealthy people will be taxed to the point that they can no longer produce work. Environmentalists are not actually interested in the environment. Rather, they use that as a tool because they hate capitalism and want to control everyone else’s lives. Meanwhile, all environmentalists also drive SUVs.
There’s a bunch more that I learned, but I’m too afraid to type them out.

As a side note, Monster Garage on Discovery HD is converting my first car, the Datsun B210 Honey Bee into a drifter. Awesome. But I bet Obama will put an end to that sort of thing too.

I gotta get over this cold and stop polluting my brain.

Why would you, read, listen too or watch someone that was truly espousing such nonsense? Or are you simply “Paraphrasing” what you think you heard?

I listen to two shows I would consider “Right winged”, Rush and Don and Roma in the morning on WLS. Both Don and Rush say some “Exaggerated” nonsense, but most of the time it’s simply to illustrate a point…although on occasion they both run off the reserve…I guess we all do on occasion. On more than one occasion I have listened to Rush and then heard a comment here or in the news that takes it WAY out of context.

OTOH I have also listened to some left wing radio and have walked away with the same impression.

That’s not to say there are some real Right and left wing complete nut jobs out there, just saying why in the Sam Hell would you listen to them?

I hope that you’re adequately informed on the FEMA death camps, too.

The sickness was not just in my lungs and sinuses. It was in my head. Much of the stuff I heard about on the Boortz radio show. He wasn’t always on, he had a guest host for a bit. Other stuff came from blogs and other forums I was bored enough to read but were often linked to by more reputable folks. Sadly enough, a forum I visit regularly for my favorite basketball team also has an off topic forum I didn’t know about before. Now that I’ve seen it, I see the posters in a completely different light. sigh.

Don’t worry though Matt, I would never listen to the left wing radio shows (is Air America even still on the air?). I’m all for free speech, but some of the stuff they say is borderline when directed toward individuals.

Gotta get back to Monster Garage. They dropped in 350Z parts into the Honey Bee.

I would love to find a “Left wing” decent show on the radio. Most of the ones I’ve listened to are along the lines of Hannity and they do the “Gotcha” journalism…which I hate.

About the only way to get any idea of what REALLY is going on is to listen to both radical elements and shoot down the middle :slight_smile:
