One thing that I should make very clear is that I am not a ditto head fan of Limbaugh nor am I enamored of Hannity. Bill O'Reilly oft times wears me out, Ann Coulter makes me want to urp. I often question what the true motives of these people, their handlers and employers are really all about. However, I know what the New New York Times, CNN, NBC and CBS are about. They are simply controlled by extreme left wing handlers who will print and do anything to keep in favor with the extreme left wing revolutionaries in the Cream House (which is getting darker by the day).



Chet Collier, one of the founders of FOX News ( if I remember right Chet was the VP of Talent in the start of FOX) was a personal friend of mine. Chet was certainly not a conservative and I don't think he was a radical left winger, but more of a left of centrist. Chet did most of the early interviewing and hiring of talent at FOX and was involved for a number of in hiring the talent there. He knew what direction FOX wanted to go. That was where the money was. Were they driven by a real feeling for the need of a more moderate to right wing news and commentary source or was it simply recognized by Murdock that there was a lot of money to be gained through an alternative to CNN? I had the opportunity to tour the FOX studios in New York with Chet in their first year, met some of the early people there asked a few questions and got some responses which were interesting and thought provoking.

What has become of Americans? I had a great uncle who won the Congressional Medal of Honor in WWI. His name was Dean Huff, reading his citation ,he should have had the movie instead of Sergeant York. But then, he was one of those weird Mormons from Teton, Idaho. My father along with three of his brothers, my wife's dad and four of his brothers all served in the armed forces during WWII. Both of my mothers brothers also served during WWII. All of these men served in active combat in Europe and the Pacific. One lost his life flying troops behind enemy lines in a glider, another suffered for years and eventually died from complications of a wound, another uncle was taken prisoner at Wake Island as a 19 year old and suffered in a Japanese prisoner of war labor camp for years.

These men were not Harvard Lawyers, they returned still believing in Jesus Christ, a Loving Father in Heaven, America and the Constitution . They went back to the farms, became barbers, construction superintendents, successful inventors, farm equipment salesmen, pharmacists, accountants, small business owners, raised good families around the Judeo/Christian ethics. With the exception of one or two these men and their wives are all gone.
Their children are the baby boomers, who followed their parents lead. A belief in The Christ, Father in Heaven, America and the Constitution and working for what you get and need.

Today these men's grandchildren and great grandchildren are in but not necessarily part of the whats in it for me generation and gen X. While these men went to war with the great possibility of losing life or limb, America and its freedoms was more important. Today we find that many are only asking what will America do for me, how can I get back as much as possible from the government without working for it. The gen x people have become the greatest snow boarders, skate boarders, video game players, rappers, welfare recipients in the world. Men who father children then abandon them, forcing the mothers to go on welfare, food stamps and worse of all, leaving these kids with no father figure to offer advice and teach basic morals (which the impregnators never had anyway). Sound like anyone we know?

"A right of free correspndence between citizen and citizen on their joint interests, whether publiv or private and under whatsoever laws these interests arize (to wit: of the State, of Congress, of France, Spain or Turkey), is a natural right; it is not the gift of any municipal law, either of England, or Virginia, or of Congress, but in common with all other natural rights, it is one of theobjects for the protection of which society is formed and municipal laws established."
