I have liked Chris Wallace in the past, but I have to speak against him over his ‘interview’ with Wayne this AM.

I watched Chris talk over Wayne at every turn, not giving him a chance to answer.

That alone was disgusting for an interviewer of Wallace’s stature & exposure.

However:

I have more to say:

Chris Wallace is the son of Mike Wallace of 60 Minutes fame. Most of us here on FR know that, but many people who tune in to this Sunday AM show DO NOT know that.

Chris was raised in what I call ‘rarified air’ circumstances.

He was raised behind gates in a gated community or in an apartment which has locked entrances behind entry alcoves & doormen who clear persons who don’t live in the building.

They often are in New York or Washington DC, and they don’t drive themselves, getting moved about by cab or by ‘drivers’ and cars provided by their employers. The higher the profile, the more perks & ‘services’ these people live with. They don’t ‘go grocery shopping’ like we do, and they often have ‘personal assistants’ who even do their clothes shopping, bringing multiple outfits to the apartment & selections are done there. NO ‘CHANGING ROOMS’ for these elite.

They get their entertainment thru ‘The Theatre’ or thru high end multi channel television and other live entertainment. They don’t go ‘to the park’ or to other open venues like we do.

They don’t encounter door to door people, no matter how legit they are.

In other words, their ‘exposure’ to dangers that most of us can face any day of the week are minimal. They would not face a ‘car jacking’ like a mother at the gas station or in the Wal-Mart, Macy’s, Home Depot, or Lowe’s parking lots. They have been raised in a cocoon of safety, which the high majority of American citizens have never witnessed.

There is definate difference betwen the kids in Wyoming going 47 miles one waay to school and the protected kids at Sidwell & Friends school, where many of the Washington DC insiders kids are attending classes.

When Chriss Wallace says Wayne is mis-representing people as ‘elites’ Chris himself has no idea how the rest of us live.

I personally live rural in N Nevada. It is over 24 miles one way to the grocery store, over 6 miles one way to the Post Office, which is threatened with closure, and over 20 miles one way to Wal-Mart & Lowe’s, where I do the bulk of my supply shopping.

We don’t have call boxes on our roads out here, and we have to have dependable vehicles & a network of people who know we are going somewhere just in case we don’t return. Sometimes, we have to have backup to feed out animals in bad weather when we have to go to town for medical trips, etc. We can get weatherbound or severely delayed easily in the winter. Animals still have to be fed timely.

This isn’t something I am complaining about for myself, but only to point out that inside the confines of both New York and Washington DC, those in the media & in the government are totally clueless.

Telling us to grab scissors when we have an intruder is beyond comprehension-—Thanks, Janet Nappy for that advice!!! I have a 1350 sq ft house & I have 4 pairs of scissors inside that house, but I don’t think I could get to any one pair with any speed to match the gun in the hand of that intruder!!! I would get some warning from the gaggle of dogs, but probably would have more luck against an intruder with the cast iron frying pan which is always on the stove!!

I believe in the 2nd Amendment. I trust Wayne LaPierre far more with protecting my right to owning a gun than ANYONE inside the Obama administration or anyone in the media.

I realize that I don’t count for much, other than another vote to show that they ‘have won’, or to say that ‘they beat my candidate’, but I can tell you this:

When the SHTF, I will live longer than many who are making decisions about my basic safety!!! I will go down, but I will do my best to have a part in cleaning out the gene pool on my way down!!!
