Now listen.
In the past any inquisitive, inquiring, would be "journalist" would've asked the same things of their "friends" as you!
But today damned few actually muster the moxie to ask; hence, our present *shortage* of "good" journalists, eh?
Good for you, Angel#1!!
There're a couple of those people you've caused to actually think. :^)
One other thing; I realize (at your tender age) the term "friend," is loosly applied.
But please, goto the dictionary & look up the word, "aquaintance," OK??
As your years advance, you'll find the distinction not only a refreshing one (as it'll absolve you) but also a saving grace. {g}
"I had to listen to more back peddlin' shit (excuse the language) tonight than I have in the last six months when they thought they were crusaders for 'good'."
HA!!
Angel?
You're *french* is perfect english, to me.
The *operative* phrase to hone-in on here is, "...when they thought they were crusaders for 'good'"
That's the key & believe it or not, an entire novel could be written on *that* subject, alone. (no shit... ;^) )
If you think of it?
The only real way to differentiate between the stooges [read: "useful idiot"] in this life & the real "Liberal-Socialist" SOB?
Lies in your perception of their intent, doesn't it?
Follow?
"I'm a simple enough girl."
Yea that you are, alright.
~sigh~
But you're also a hellova woman, too.
"But I cannot understand WHY people can't admit it when they were not only WRONG. DAMN WRONG!"
HA!!
Well, I could pontificate on that ad nauseum ad infinitum; but, what'd be the point?
That's an *angle* you need to contemplate time & again and when you *think* you've their/a motive(s) figured out?
Write of the phenomenon!!
Your readers are asking similar -- if not the same -- question(s). (~wanna bet?)
*Sell* 'em the answer(s) sweetheart; because, they sure in the hell aren't gonna take [it] if you give it to 'em for free.
*Since* you can "see" this particular oddity, these days that kind of "insight" (easily) qualifies you as a "leader."
So don't be looking a "gift horse" in the mouth, Lady, write these things down, & you go for it!!
...understand? ;^)
Understood!!!!
It's the "Lib'ral Template" that ENSLAVES the VastLeftWingMedyuhWhore'd into believing things that are demonstrably NOT TRUE!! And if you've allowed yerself to trick yer own mind into believing things that stray from verifiable reality, you cannot really add much to the conversation that will be helpful to others, so yer popularity understandably wanes and your rewards--monetary and otherwise--thereby are lessened. It's capitalism at work, EXCEPT with the BigThreeNetworks wherein a three-headed Oligarchy monopolizes America's "FRee" airwaves!!
That's why it is of UTMOST IMPORTANCE that the broadcast rights for the ABCCBSNBC are auctioned off on a regular, rotating basis, just like broadcast rights to NFL Football and Major League Baseball and NASCAR...ain't no reason the Federal Guv'ment's not doing this already except fer the FACT that they like to hold these "FRee Airwave Rights" over the heads of the Network Bigshots to BlackMail them into not straying too far from the SocialistBureaucRATicTalkinPoints!!
FReegards...MUD
Now, this post contains some of the best advice and wisdom ever to pour off the keyboard of the revered Landru.
Now, while I am thinking about it, I may just go and drink that last Moxie that sits in my fridge. Oh yes! The best drink ever made on earth and soooo hard to find. I think if I ever do get involved in another of Mudboy Slim's sucker bets, I will insist that a case of Moxie be part of my winnings. It couldn't be any harder to come by then, say, a limosine ride to the Hotel Jefferson.
