Fox News Friends Gettin On My Last Nerve

I guess we'll have to talk about this on the show this week. I'm just getting too many friends on the Facebook repeating this cookie-cutter garbage about socialism. One dude even called me out on it when I posted this really good interview on Bill Moyers with Mike Davis, a socialist professor.

I've been trying to not respond to everything I see, because I'd probably stroke out after a while, but it has been trying and I think I figured out why.

It's not an "I'm right you're wrong" issue for me. I know that there's a ton of stuff I don't know about - hell, just from watching that Mike Davis interview I know I'd be bringing a knife to that gunfight. But it's just the same arguments over and over again, taken right from a Hannity or Rush show. And each one is a complete load of garbage. Let's take the socialist thing:

We are not going "socialist". Most people don't even know what this concept means. And there has never been a single government in history (other than on some island that we know of) that has ever been a pure anything. Sorry all you "patriots" not even ours. It's a hollow argument that rich people use to get us poor folk to argue amongst ourselves while they keep control over money and power. It's a smokescreen.

OK...more on the show, but feel free to comment here.
