Just the Diversions, Ma'am

I turned the radio dial and listened to the Laura Ingraham show this morning, as I like to stay in touch with what both the right and left wings are talking about. At first, I thought she was kidding, but she actually spent an entire show talking about Obama's wife and how a few months back, during a speech, she said that it was the first time that she was proud to be an American.

Yet another non-story being run into the ground by right wing radio. I guess since they can't hurt Obama personally, the plan is to attack those around him, be it the Reverend Wright or now Obama's wife, and hope that some of the smear sticks to Obama. Seriously, is that all you've got? I know Grampy Insane is a terrible candidate and the republicans are embarrassed by him but can't you come up with any "issues" to discuss? Is it really going to be six more months of she's not proud of America so how can she possibly be First Lady?

Really, have the Duh years given us Americans all that much to be proud of? At this point, if you're not embarrassed and outraged by the damage this administration has done to America, on so many levels, then I don't even know how to begin to help you.

But for these blowhards to sit there and puke out non-story after non-story rather than concentrate on real issues that might just make America a better country is just unconscionable. It's always abstract concepts with the right wing these days. A "war" on "terror", being labeled "unpatriotic" simply for having an intelligent view on the Duh policies, and now attacking people on how "American" or "un-American" they are based on their blind acceptance vs disgust with said administration.

Honestly, if you love your country and want what's best for America, how can you possibly even consider four or eight more years of life in this direction? Can you honestly say that the last eight years of Duh's "decision" making have given you much, if anything, to be proud of, American?
