Please, give it no mind -- I was not offended nor was I intending to do a Trent Lott on you and take your comments out of context to lambaste you with. I was merely thinking we can honor our soldiers more by calling attention to their willing service rather than the end result of that service. Nothing more. Carry on. - Max OldT6Pilot, you are apologizing far more than my little note warranted. Please, give it no mind — I was not offended nor was I intending to do a Trent Lott on you and take your comments out of context to lambaste you with.

I was merely thinking we can honor our soldiers more by calling attention to their willing service rather than the end result of that service. Nothing more.

Carry on.

They have morf'ed into newsmakers and major influencers of policy via the modification of public thought. Go back and look at the nazi propaganda machine and see how unbelievabley and terribly effective it was at mainstreaming murder, mayhem, and genocide. I'm not saying we're headed in that direction, but the playing field is not level. the only way it will shift is for a major event - terrorist, economic, Israel/Gaz/Iran- to occur and for the administration to stumble on the world's stage. Regarding the ascension of Obama to the throne:

Headlines On This Date 4 Years Ago:

“Republicans spending $42 million on inauguration while troops Die in unarmored Humvees”

“Bush extravagance exceeds any reason during tough economic times”

“Fat cats get their $42 million inauguration party, Ordinary Americans get the shaft”

Headlines Today:

“Historic Obama Inauguration will cost only $120 million”

“Obama Spends $120 million on inauguration; America Needs A Big Party”

“Everyman Obama shows America how to celebrate”

“Citibank executives contribute $8 million to Obama Inauguration”

We must all accept and understand that the Fourth Estate is not an unbiased observer of the news. They have morf’ed into newsmakers and major influencers of policy via the modification of public thought. Go back and look at the nazi propaganda machine and see how unbelievabley and terribly effective it was at mainstreaming murder, mayhem, and genocide. I’m not saying we’re headed in that direction, but the playing field is not level. the only way it will shift is for a major event – terrorist, economic, Israel/Gaz/Iran- to occur and for the administration to stumble on the world’s stage.

Be sure that whatever happens in the next 4 years, if it's good it'll be credited to Obama's wonderful leadership and if it's bad it'll be blamed on Bush. BDS hasn’t ended, folks.
