It is a pleasant sight to see that ARab America isn't being flushed out politically and that presidential candidates still seem to want to work with a group that has faced so much unfair heat. I really wonder what that convention was likke because if I were an arab-american I would feel so frustrated about the constant oversimplification of islamic jihad and just the criminalizing of anyone who fights a western agenda from the middle east. Not to mention to stupid conflict growing with Iran.
On another note, I really tried so hard to stay objective and open minded, but I hate a lof of things about the Fox network. TO name one. Bill O'Reilly. I somehow got caught up in watching hours of the O'Reilly factor on youtube and simply put, he is a jerk. What kind of journalism cuts off your source? Sources are subject to scrutiny, but what is he achieving by cutting off a 9 year-veteran of Army? Just look his name up on youtube and you will see.
EVEN WORSE!
So I assume most of you have heard about the California wildfires and how bad it has become. It is bad, no doubt and there have been arrests made because some of the fires are the result of arson. IF that isn't messed up enough, I stuble upon a Fox News broadcast about the CAlifornia wildfires and guess what? They are discussing the possiibily that it may be AL Qieda????????? WTF WTF WTF? As someone from California, this is laughable. These fires happen every year, and this is a particularly dry season and thus, the greater danger of fires. I mean, come on!!! FIRE SOMEONE! This is ridiculous.
So anger aside, why did they bring it up? Well, Apparently it was based on a CIA memo that mentioned an informant mentioning fires as a method of attack. Okay. . . . Turns out, the memo is 4 years old and doesn't actually have the word California in it. Again, someone needs to be fired. I am absolutely incredulous. So the argument many like Bill O'Reilly make is something like, "well better to be really safe than sorry right?" WRONG. It is like wearing armor to go swimming in the ocean. Sure, if a shark tried to eat you or perhaps angry fish may try to stab you. That is, if you weren't dead. You cut off the arm to save the body not the other way around. It just makes me so angry that Fox totally fucked up, people are afraid now or at least misled, and no one is going to clean up the mess. Anyone from NBC who aired a commentary or criticism is useless because FOX viewers aren't going to be watching that because it is, "liberal propoganda." (according to a lot of those youtube comments.) UGH UGH UGH!
