I have refrained from commenting on politics in regards to the war and partisan politics in this blog for many reasons. The biggest is that I never feel like I have all the facts. My gut always tells me that the info that gets filtered down through the media is half truths, or has some spin on it, so I like to reserve my judgements. Also, my comments here, after I felt I did not get all the information would only go to stir people up for no reason.
\nWith that said, I am not sure this is even a political comment as much as a comment on the current events in general. I have a lot more to say as far as my own thoughts politically, but I will keep them to myself.
\nI was listening to Michael Savage last night. Very often he makes comments I whole heartedly agree with. Yet for every agreement, he says something that rubs me the wrong way, which does not put him on my favourite people list. He was playing sound clips of people commenting on the murder of Nick Berg, but in the middle of it he played the “soundtrack” if you will of Nick Berg’s beheading. I instantly broke into hysterical tears had nightmares all night.
\nThis whole event has made me sick to my stomach. First the grim pictures of the US soldiers abuse in the Iraqi prisons, which was plastered on every newspaper cover. Not only was that upsetting enough, but the way the media used to it spin anti-Bush sentiments was just horrible and tiresome. It’s like it was too much to deal with the issue and we couldn’t just get facts, but everyone’s opinion about why Bush is horrible on top of that. Please give me enough credit to form my own opinion.
\nOn top of that, I was horrified enough to read the description of what happened,
\nI didn’t need to see no pictures! I had to hide the newspapers from my kids-they didn’t need to see that either. Why did we need to see that?
\nNow this poor guy-I can’t imagine how scared he must have been. Things are a mess these people are crazy. They did this in the name of God?
\nI am becoming very afraid of what the future holds because I think we are seeing the tip of the iceberg.
\nSorry, I had to vent a bit after my restless night.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
