Cause it's on in all the truck stops, etc.
And I keep thinking back to that video recorded conversation with Scott Walker and one of his billionaire backers (Diane Hendricks) by the maker of the film "As Goes Janesville" (Rep Paul Ryan's district!) where Hendricks asks Walker "how we can destroy the unions in Wisconsin" (and with them the middle class, effectively)
And his answer, and I'm sure of this quote, from memory, "You use divide and conquer."
THAT should be Fox News Corp's motto instead of the 1984-ish, their Brave New World-ish "Fair and Balanced".
Fox News, Divide and Conquer.
One of the topics that consistently comes up in our travels across the Southwest is that "Americans are nice, good, generous, caring people. But that in aggregate we get it wrong; our government does NOT represent us, does not represent the best in us."
The American people have been great, even the ones who watch Fox News, read The Desert Freedom Press, you name it. Good people. But the govt that purports to represent them, AND us, FAILS to do so. Instead, it, and they (the Scott Walkers, the Paul Ryans), represent Diane Hendricks - and her business interests, as they see them, in the short term, quarterly profit kind of way. I don't think the Hendricks, the Kochs, the Waltons of America yet realize that if they destroy the good, "poor" people of America that they too will suffer; that their business interests will suffer. Destroy your customers in some billionaire's Libertarian dream?
It will be a nightmare, for ALL of us.
Good day! I know this is kinda off topic however I'd figured I'd ask.
