Answer me this. Why are extreme left wingers so reading challenged that
everything they read is perceived as an attack. I did write this: "This
is not to diminish anyones personal situation but not everyone was
thrown under the bus or is in danger of that happening."

Not talking about intentional political programming. The usual
mainstream programs such as the today show definitely tilt to the left
and the few times I caught snippets recently it is always "the sky is
falling in for everyone in these terrible times..." And as I said this
is not to minimize anyone who has hard times. Lots of folks don't and
have no real reason to hide under the bed with their money.

I am pretty much a political moderate tending towards libertarian. I
seldom listen or watch political talk shows because the mindless intense
red kool/blue kool aid drinkers are a turn off.
