Bullshit -- ABC is Blatently Biased
[Read the article: Variety: Sources say ABC could cancel "The Path to 9/11"]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]ABC is blatently biased and is embarrased that they got caught with their pants down. Now they are grasping at a last-minute opportunity from the White-House to pre-empt the broadcast with a speech from the President. ABC must be enormously relieved and the republican'ts won't have to suffer jeers and jabs from the left and claiming it would have shown the "truth" of 9/11 and democratic/liberal failings. Works out for everybody.
I am _so_ sick and tired of this administration. Everything with them is "terror, terror, terror". They play the terror card over and over. With one hand they cry "terror" and take away our rights and freedoms with the other. And they think they are fooling us and getting away with it. Well, maybe they don't care if they are fooling us or not-- but are getting away with it in any case. And like chumps, we just sit there and take it.
Has anybody really sat down and thought about what a _REAL_ world war between Christians and Muslems would be like???? Absolute chaos for everybody on all sides! I can't think of anybody who would "win". We have lots of bombs and can drop them at whim. They have suicide bombers and all the poor, deperate people they could ever want to carry out attacks.
In a war between religions, there is no end game. At least not until one side has completely decimated the other. "Kill 'em all and let God sort 'em out" That seems to be the reigning logic here on both sides. This would all be comical if it wasn't so horribly, tragically REAL. People are dying all around the world, particularly in Iraq and Afghanistan over religion and oil.
What God who grants life would value death and destruction in it's name? What moron could possibly believe that's what a God would want from it's children? Why do we persist in the belief that the only way to glorify and sanctify God is by the wholesale slaughter and destruction of others? Its just wrong- morally, ethically, and criminally. Its wrong on every possible front. The people who incite us into war and oppression are wrong- and whoever follows them into battle is also wrong.
Its time people around the world WOKE UP and realized we've been HOODWINKED. We've listened to the lies and platitudes of our leaders and are being led around by our noses to suit their own purposes and agendas.
Republicans? I can't believe they are wicked and bad. They are just people who believe in conservative values and have somehow managed to put aside, overlook, or ignore their fringe elements in order to gain a political advantage. Which they are now weilding haphazardly, like a club, without finesse or subtlety. I think many of them have grown weary of the task and would love a "do over".
Democrats? I can't believe they are stupid and disorganized, nor do I believe they are righteous and right. But they are just as clueless and misguided as the Republicans in their way. They rant about endless causes- to which they drive their big SUV's, wear their fancy clothes, and drink their mocha-lattes harvested on the backs of the poor and exploited peoples of the world.
They bitch and moan about the environment, the children, poor people in africa, and whatever cause d'celeb is the event of the week. They don't really give a shit about any of it. Its a convenient excuse for them to get together, socialize, and pat themselves on the back so they can feel good about themselves and then go home to their crappy little lives.
Meanwhile, its the wealthy elite and corporate scumbags are really running things. Behind the scenes, pulling strings, manipulating things. They don't really care about the "little people" or their politics. They are above it all and could care less whether people elect Republicans, Democrats or dill pickles.
I am sick of it all. Sick of never-ending taxes, sky-rocketing prices, the constant barrage of crass commercialism, and the use of every square inch in the universe for advertising. I am fed up that the only people who can live a decent life are the wealthy, elite bastards who own every damn thing on the planet.
Okay- so I've rambled on and strayed away from the point, which is ABC, one of the corporate fat bastards who represent the wealthy elite, is planning to dupe us and influence our opinions once again with lies, half-truths and blatant constructions. They know that lots of us will believe ANYTHING we see on TV while the REST of us don't exist in enough numbers to matter. Once again they want to PISS ON OUR BACKS AND TELL US ITS RAINING while they purport to show "the truth" IN SPITE of the loud objections of the people who were real participants of 9/11 who say that the show is extremely biased and filled with lies and half-truths.
The whole thing is part of the hidden political machine- not democrat OR republican- that manifests itself conviently as the party d'jur-- that exists to hijack our opinions and befuddle our perceptions, and bamboozle us into conveniently overlooking all of the stuff they want us to forget.
SHAME ON YOU ABC. You are NOT the voice of the people. You are a BAD network. NO TREAT FOR YOU.
