WARNING! Fox News could stunt your growth!

Obama: Fox News is 'destructive' to America

President Obama is pulling no punches when it comes to Fox News, declaring the cable news outlet to be "destructive to [America's] long-term growth."

In a more than 8,000-word interview with Rolling Stone Magazine, Obama compared the cable news channel to papers owned by William Randolph Hearst at the turn of the 20th century that unabashedly pushed the media titan's own political views.

"You had folks like Hearst who used their newspapers very intentionally to promote their viewpoints. I think Fox is part of that tradition – it is part of the tradition that has a very clear, undeniable point of view," Obama told the magazine.

One of the things that I find intriguing about Barack Obama is his indirect way of being obliquely coy with his prejudices, yet unabashed when it comes to airing them. Everyone in America is aware that Fox news is the bane of this White House. The Obama White House spokesman Robert Gibbs has all but foamed at the mouth on numerous occasions when it came to addressing reports covered by Fox news and the network's reporting on this administration.

So as of this revelation in "Rolling Stone," our dear president has decided to pull no punches when it comes to Fox News. Well isn't that ironic. Seeing as that is precisely what the lion's share of media in this country has done as it concerns this president since day one.

Does anyone outside of this administration actually believe that the mainstream media has done anything other than pitch softballs and pulled punches since this supposed "post racial president" took office?

I can't speak for anyone else, but if you are/were looking for critical reports or critical analysis of this president in the mainstream media? Then you could forget seeing anything in any of the major network news reports, or the New York Times, Washington Post, L.A. Times or Chicago Tribune or anywhere else for that matter.

And the worst of them all are MSNBC and CNN in my observations of the past two years. Drooling is a word that simply wouldn't cover the way the media in America and most of Europe has treated Barack Obama since he became the heir apparent to the White House two and a half years ago. At least until the last few months as it has become more and more apparent that 'America' has had enough of both this White House and the mainstream media.

Someone at the White House and in the democrat party needs to get a clue and come to grips with the reality and the reasons why Fox News has led all other media outlets for the past ten years now.

So now with the democrat party going down by the bow faster than the Titanic, the president has decided to come out swinging at Fox news. And he has decided to launch his opening salvo, by giving an interview to Rolling Stone and call Fox News destructive to America's growth.

Amusing if I say so myself. Just as his attempts at juxtaposing the comparison of William Randolph Hurst newspapers of one hundred years ago, with the modern day media empire of Rupert Murdoch and Fox.

It seems that with all the bad news of late concerning the democrats looming losses, all they can do is lash out at any and all who have failed to bow at their feet and kiss their rings and appreciate their efforts to destroy America.

I am sorry, but as I said previously, this is almost comical. And if there isn't a certain amount of irony? That the man chose Rolling Stone magazine as his vehicle of attack against Fox? I wonder what former General Stanley McChrystal would think of the president's revelations in the rag sheet that led to his own demise.

Poetic is a word that comes to mind.

Prime's Worm hole

This is a place for me to muse about the issues that affect our world. My world and my country and my life in particular. I can say what I want to here and those who may stumble across my musings, are welcome to comment,or not. America is under siege. Everything this nation has ever represented, is now being torn asunder and crushed by the onslaught of egalitarian socialism. All morals and social values have been devolved into the belief that systemic racism, is the only underlying cause or reason for any societal ills in America. And that representation, is nothing but a Trojan Horse argument. A means of getting the egalitarian camel's nose into the tent. And now that it has been inserted? There is mayhem and anarchy and burning and looting all across America. And the only questions that remains to be asked and answered? Are these. When is enough enough and when will the American people call full stop and take the law into their own hands, to repel this socialist based attack on the Constitution and our personal freedoms.

Thinking

It started out innocently enough. I began to think at parties now and then -- just to loosen up and be a part of the crowd.
Inevitably, though, one thought led to another and soon I was more than just a social thinker.

I began to think alone -- "to relax", I told myself -- but I knew it wasn't true.
Thinking became more and more important to me and finally I was thinking all the time.

I began to think on the job. I knew that thinking and employment don't mix, but I couldn't help myself.

I began to avoid friends at lunchtime so I could read Thoreau, Muir, Confucius and Kafka. I would return to the office dizzied and confused, asking, "What is it exactly we are doing here?"

One day the boss called me in. He said, "Listen, I like you and it hurts me to say this, but your thinking has become a real problem. If you don't stop thinking on the job, you'll have to find another job."

"Honey," I confessed, "I've been thinking..."

"I know you've been thinking," she said, "and I want a divorce!" "But Honey, surely it's not that serious." "It is serious," she said, lower lip aquiver.

"You think as much as college professors and college professors don't make that much money, so if you keep on thinking, we won't have any money!"
She exploded in tears of rage and frustration, but I was in no mood to deal with the emotional drama.

"I'm going to the library," I snarled
I headed for the library, in the mood for some John Locke. I roared into the parking lot with NPR on the radio and ran up to the big glass doors.

They didn't open. The library was closed.

To this day, I believe that a Higher Power was looking out for me that night.

Leaning on the unfeeling glass, whimpering for Emerson, a poster caught my eye, "Friend, is heavy thinking ruining your life?" it asked.

This is why I am what I am today: a recovering thinker.

I never miss a TA meeting. At each meeting we watch a non-educational video; last week it was "Porky's." Then we share experiences about how we avoided thinking since the last meeting.

I still have my job, and things are a lot better at home. Life just seemed easier, somehow, as soon as I stopped thinking. I think the road to recovery is nearly complete for me.

Today I took the final step...I joined the Democratic Party

If you are able,
save them a place
inside of you
and save one backward glance
when you are leaving
for the places they can
no longer go.
Be not ashamed to say
you loved them,
though you may
or may not have always.
Take what they have left
and what they have taught you
with their dying
and keep it with your own.
And in that time
when men decide and feel safe
to call the war insane,
take one moment to embrace
those gentle heroes
you left behind.

Major Michael Davis O'Donnell
1 January 1970
Dak To, Vietnam

Captain Michael O'Donnell was lost in Cambodia on March 24 1970, while flying a UH1 rescue helicopter, trying to rescue an eight man LRRP team under attack in Cambodia. He was listed as MIA along with the eight he had attempted to rescue after his UH1 Huey was shot down by enemy fire. The official military report listed the eight as shot down 'non survivable' and 'non recoverable.'

Michael O'Donnell was submitted for the Congressional Medal of Honor for his actions that day. He was awarded the Distinguished flying cross, the Bronze Star, The Air Medal and The Purple Heart and he was promoted to the rank of Major (posthumously).

In 1978 he was officially listed as KIA by the Department of Defense.

A little about the philosophy of the author

The Borg Conspiracy is one man's purely pedestrian thoughts, independent musings and frequently cheeky commentaries...Mixed with an abundance of patriotism, love of God, and love of country.

My thoughts?

In my opinion........in another generation, all that will remain of our once great republic, may be little more than what is left to weather the passage of time in the form of a few obscure and forgotten monuments to the great American experiment.

If America should fail....let it be written as her epitaph.....died by her own hand. The greatest experiment in freedom ever undertaken, lost in the end to the pursuit of the illusion that egalitarian tolerance was more valuable than individual freedom.

Let us be warned.
Franklin, Payne, Jefferson. They all knew the consequences of the lack of vigilance and they tried to warn us. They gave us a document as our guide post. We were to guard it and revere it and use it to guide and govern our future and our posterity.

No one listened.
