C Downs: a little addendum. Just had a conversation with the guy across the street, dyed in the wool “redneck” . HIs first question was “Were you born in the U.S.?” (I have an Obama sign up) “I say well, yes, I’m born in the U.S., and have served my country in different capacities for over 40 years.”.
HE asks: “What do you think of what’s going on in Benghazi?”
Well, also having watched a few minutes of the B.S. on Fox this afternoon, told him my son and I have served in such situations, and it was time for Fox et al to shut up.
Now Mr. “redneck” blows up because he’s never been military, never been out of the country, never finished high school, but knows, from Fox, “all about everything”, and my son and I who’ve been IN these situations, “don’t know what we’re talking about”, cause Rush, Fox, and Romney, have all the answers.
THAT is what is wrong with so much in this country. “See no facts. Hear no facts. Speak no facts”, IS the right wing mantra. And it is dangerous, indeed.
