Fox News

Fox News

If you like Fox News because you watch an hour or two a week, that’s okay. If you like Fox News because you have never seen any other news program, that’s alright. However, if you simply like Fox News, you might need help. And if you are protesting and saying that the other news programs are simply too liberal, then you might be right. But there is also something disturbing about being so conservative that you marginalize every group you report news about and verbally attack interviewees who are simply there to give information and not to debate. I am, for the first time in my life, upset that my parents raised me Republican. I am not purely liberal. I am not purely a pacifist. But I am, as I hope all would be, a humanitarian. I do not think that it is fair for an entire party to be judged on one man, but I hope that the “Foley” factor does skew voting and that perhaps Congress would go Democrat and that maybe somewhere change would be evoked. Because the war, the accusations of innocent people, the fire and brimstone attempt to remove “illegals,” it is judgment day in the USA and we can pass out whatever pink slips we want to if we don’t like what you are doing. The first immigrants? That would be white people. We didn’t care that we pushed our Native Americans onto reservations. Most of us still don’t care, or aren’t even aware of the fact, that they are still there. Everyone thinks their antidote is the right one. And for Fox News that antidote is making a complete ass of themself and condemning everyone in the process. Come on O'Reilly, condemn Democrats for their morally bankrupt lives while you sexually harass someone else. Don't like the accusation? Then stop accusing. And declare war on terrorists of other ethnicities while you're at it.

Devil with a blue dress

The world is full. There are so many possibilities. There are so many ways to express the life that is in us. Do most of us ignore our God-give abilities to live safe lives? Or is that safeness the unsafe thing. The thing that keeps us thinking about not being mediocre and working really hard in the small things. Or is that just me? I know there is a lot of dissatisfaction around me. A lot of living simply the day to day. And I hate that. It saddens me for those that I know. But I am no less prone to falling into that pattern than anyone else. Those little moments where that is not my mindset, when I remember who my creator is and what He has given me, those are the moments I live for. Those are the moments that I wish would last forever.

In that moment I do not live perfectly, nor do I pretend I can. Neither do I dwell on my disillusionment with others inabilities because I am trying to escape from my own. As of late I have been frustrated and unsettled about the specks in everyone else's eyes. Very seldom stopping and looking in a mirror. Those little somethings that I need to do to keep my own a*# in line. I loathe the woman that I can be. Not the woman that I am. I do recognize that there is a distinguishable difference. One that I love, one that I hate, however it is certain that they both exist because of their ability to make me feel alive on some level. Whether that is good or bad I am unsure. Without the uncertain times I would probably not appreciate the moments of sheer crazy lovely understanding.

So, I guess there is a little devil in all of us. And it might not be trying to make demons out of us. It might just be trying to avert our eyes.
