To those of you whacked out enough to read my blog, you know that I’m not a Bush fan. Truth is, initially I was. In the early days, I was a victim of the propaganda machine, largely propelled by mainstream media, and consumed by the masses.
But since I have not relied on main stream media to shape my opinion of what’s going on in this world, my take on Bush has drastically changed. These days I see him as a neocon thug sold out to power, money and deception.
Today I cam across a YouTube snippet from Keith Olbermann from MSNBC’s Countdown program. Keith is seen by many of being a liberal commentator, to which he responds, "I’m not a liberal, I’m an American."
Keith often clashes with Bill O’Reilly of Fox News - who is largely seen as his right wing opponent. O’Reilly I have very little respect for. He’s a conservative thug who badgers anyone on or off his show who disagrees with him or his world view.
But fair enough, both are entitled to their own opinion - much of which I disagree with. But today’s video is something I can definitely relate to. The fact that Bush is on the war path against Iran despite intelligent reports that Iran has abandoned it’s nuclear weapons program - really pisses me off.
In this age of censorship, political correctness and blind patriotism, the following video needs to be watched as a reminder to the world at what’s really going on in the minds of those entrusted to develop US Foreign Policy.
I’d be keen to hear your opinion about what Olbermann says.
