Personally I agree with Logan.
Until recently I been busy planting and it wasn't until today that I spared time from more important things for political antics.
I started reading the referenced material and the replies in this thread and by the end of the first page my first reaction was to think about ending my
membership.
My second reaction was disappointment..
Sadly I have several radio neighbors who are buying into these obvious political ploys and are reacting just as the politicians planned for them to react, so I
have heard many of the same comments before in the CB and local HAM bands. But just as I haven't stopped talking in the CB and HAM bands I won't stop
visiting this board and posting comments I'm just surprised to see such narrow and biased views cropping up here.
This impeachment of Bush campaign and many of your comments are from my point of view paranoid, silly and a thoughtless buying into partisan politics that is
geared more to whip voters into a kneejerk dogmatic voting pattern than an attempt to obtain some amount of justice.
I consider this impeachment campaign of Bush to be as silly and stupid as the impeachment of Clinton campaign was.
Neither impeachment campaign is/was about justice or righting wrongs, but instead is/was a political move to try and force voters to vote along party lines
with little actual thought about thier decision.
I personally think the last thing most modern politicians want is for the voters to actually think about the issues and become well informed on them by
actually looking at what all the sides have to say on them.
If you focus exclusively only on one set of views and the info provided by people who support that set of views then you run the risk of falling into a
positive feedback loop and settling into some rather outlandish ideas and beliefs.
Every set of views has blindspots and stupid or silly biases that can lead to outlandishly wrong conclusion or beliefs if you immerse yourself solely and
exclusively in those views. Other view points can see things that your favorite or favored viewpoint is blind to.
Here is something I do regularly that can be quite entertaining and sometimes very educational, pick and track a set of news story not just through time but
through various view points and systems of belief.
To get a simplified idea of what I'm talking about pick out several news stories and pay careful attention to how CNN presents each of them then go to FOX
and see how it presents them and then follow that up with a trip to a Japanese or some other nations news that is nominally neutral to the set of news stories
and see how they present them.
I personally usually out of habit and availability check ABC news and FOX news followed by a Japanese website or the freeby Japanese to English newscast on my
dish sat system.
