In Defense of Dr. Matt
On a recent O’Reilly response blog at Newshounds, Dr. Matt was told to tone it down by another blogger. To me, the other blogger seemed to genuinely be trumpeting the cause of civil discourse between allies (Dr. Matt and a Repug troll), who after all, were both Americans. Dr. Matt snapped back something uncivil, but funny. The blogger interested in civil discourse threatened to leave the blog for good. He, by the way, was a liberal too.
I find myself feeling sorry for the civil blogger, but siding with Dr. Matt. He is a minuteman in the war against our country. DrMatt is firing back and can clearly see through most of the babble immediately in order to expose the ‘reich-wing’. Sometimes innocents get popped.
What Dr. Matt understands and what the civil blogger may or may not truly realize, is that we’re not fighting a worthy adversary in a neutral court with equal rules and equal tools. If those days ever existed, they certainly do not now.
Neocons have taken over our country. They did not do this by winning elections. They did this: 1 By keeping elections close with smear and noise, and an alliance with the Christian Fundamentalist Front, 2 By suppression of Democratic (black and poor) voters where the opportunity existed and where those particular electoral votes were necessary and 3 By using voting machines owned by fellow neocons that are hackable and untraceable.
Our democracy has been stolen, but you would never know this from watching television. Fox is the flagship destroyer of the fleet, the good ship ‘Hard On’. However, far deadlier, because they reach much larger audiences and are considered legitimate, are NBC, ABC, CBS, The New York Times, The Washington Post and on. ENTERnewsTAINMENT Networks are a disgrace. The media is completely owned by a few very powerful corporations, who cover what they want to cover. I assure you that their self-interests, as owners of OUR AIRWAVES, are not in the best interests of the individual American or any Democrat who might be interested in tampering with the machine.
In addition to this, as if I need to mention it, Republicans are the ones who got the huge tax break and consequently own a lot of our country.
This is what we’re up against. This is not a discussion of policy amongst concerned Americans. This is not a give and take amongst liberals with ideas and conservatives with fiscal discipline. This is not a fair fight, where at the end of the debate, honor carries the day.
The war was fought and won while Democrats were still fighting traditional battles. If the Democrats do not win big in the mid term elections, I’m afraid we, as a democratic nation, are lost. Close elections will go to the Republicans. You can count on it. Our democracy and nation are teetering and Dr. Matt is firing pop shots at a huge Red State Army. I’m a progressive from Texas, where, I’m ashamed to say, a lot of the merciless, greedy, powerful and arrogant leaders of the Red State Army were spawned. Fire away Dr. Matt!
