How Corporate Media Keep Us Divided
Red states, blue states. Wingnuts, moonbats. Fox, MSNBC.
Our nation's politics have divided us into two opposing camps. The results have not been constructive. Last week we were reminded once again, (as if we needed a reminder) how much damage our bloodless political civil war is doing to our society's unity....our "one nation, indivisible..."

Vital Details Of Alleged Scandals
The alleged Benghazi scandal.....
The White House released 100 e-mails on Tuesday all pertaining to how the "talking points" over the Benghazi violence on 9-11-2012 were assembled.

Hysteria
There are some amazing and baffling things in our natural world. How is it, for example, that schools of fish can move as one? How do birds know how to fly in almost perfect formation?
Humans are also baffling in their behavior. I'm sure you've seen examples of, or read about, mass hysterical behavior....panic induced, rage induced, vengeance induced....hysterical mob behavior, often violent. In our modern refined era, we most often see this phenomenon at highly contested sporting events....often with casualties...but not only at sporting events.

Poor, Put Upon Patriots
I agree with some on the left who are suggesting that of the three molehill "scandals" the Village has gone bonkers over in just the last 72 hours.....the IRS "delaying my Tea Party Patriot group's tax-exempt status" will resonate the loudest and the longest.
The GOP base.....Tea Party and Patriot groups plus evangelicals....you see, are being victimized by the "Democrat" Party and the Obama "regime." The IRS faux-scandal fits the winger narrative to a tee. The "real Americans" out there in Bumsmuck, Tennessee and Oxycontin, Kentucky have been under siege from the moment Obama was sworn in, that is, after ACORN stole the election for Obama in 2008, with an assist from the New Black Panthers. It was built-in tyranny from the onset.
