The banner text is taken from George Orwell’s Book “1984″ a book in which he described a society that is completely controlled by the government. Of course we’re controlled by the government today as well, but what Orwell describes in his book is more extreme than what we’re currently experiencing. Seeing how things are going currently I don’t think we have a long way to go. As I write this, I have the TV going on in the background and Sean Hannity is interviewing a Black man in reference to Spike Lee’s comments towards Clint Eastwood. Apparently Lee complained that in “Letters from Iwojima”, a film directed by Eastwood, not one black person is seen throughout the film. Hannity turns to the guy he’s having on and says “..you’re friends with OJ Simpson aren’t you?”. As always, Sean Hannity proves that he is a contributing factor to the down fall of this country. It’s people like him that only have one thing in mind: their personal enrichment.
It’s very obvious to me that Sean Hannity doesn’t have the best of this country at heart. He wraps himself in the false blanket of Patriotism, where true American Patriotism stems from being a critical, aware individual in a society that demands this of its citizens. The style Hannity follows just isn’t intellectually honest and where I know he has a large following, I hope many people realize that what Fox News and others are doing is to deceive the population. Instead of giving you the information we need, they give us hatred filled opinions that don’t serve any other purpose than keeping the viewer ship.
I’ll give you another personal example of how I feel Republican Cronies are ruining this country. A while ago I had gotten another lead for work from a friend. After some correspondence with the client I went to work on his project. Unfortunately miscommunication plagued the project from the very beginning and when things turned sour, I did some research on the people I was dealing with. First of all both gentlemen I was dealing with were closely associated to the Republican party and one of them is actually a politician. Then the very disappointing part that I found out, was that one of the men was actually an owner of a security company! In other words, he had contracts from state and federal level for security work in Louisiana. Let me say that I have done no research on the legality of these deals and that’s not my point here. My point is that one of the websites I viewed which belonged to my clients, was full of patriotic BS. In other words, it had a mission statement on the page that read something close to “doing business with partners that share our patriotic view of US”. Maybe I’m just too big of a cynic to be able to accept that as is but anyone who wraps themselves in the American Flag to do business in that way is a whore in my eyes and should be ashamed of themselves.
I admit I got a bit off point here as I kept writing but it doesn’t change my main point which is the fact that Fox News and others are contributing to the level of ignorance this country is exposed to. By continuing to misinform the population, the population is lulled into some sense of normalcy that keeps them thinking that things aren’t that bad. With gas over $4.00 / gallon I hope people realize who did this to us.
I want to go back to the future, the one where Michael J. Fox was riding around with a hoverboard. What happened?
