Something to be thankful for at the end of the year

  Things are pretty depressing if you fixate on the news projected to you from the MSM, and this includes Fox.
  The constant drumbeat questioning who will be the Republican nominee gets old fast. Every candidate is ripped, every facet of their lives is known (whether true/real or not) and every talking head has a theory on who/what/why/when. 
  Yet we still know next to nothing about Barack Hussein Obama.
  And those great Republican consultants advise that Republicans not attack Obama (just like John McCain did and look where that got him), not use the word "conservative" and tread softly when it comes to nasty things that have attached themselves to Barack Hussein Obama.
  Then those occupiers. Sheesh.
  Positive press has accompanied these disgusting, pampered creatures everywhere, even when they do horrible things and even when they interfere with small business owners' livelihoods and even when their record of violent behavior soars.
  Yet the Tea Party is made up of overweight, white, homophobic bigots.
  Or not.
  Barack Hussein Obama seems to be actively working against job creation in this country, actively flitting like a Job Killing Fairy from one form of commerce to another, touching his poison wand to anything that might show life.
  Well, at least the 100 watt incandescent light bulb has survived to die another day.
  Or not.
  So the news that the nanny state wants the police, as if they don't have enough to do, to grab your cell phone, which they are monitoring, if you climb into a car.
  Let's see. Salt shaker. Doritos. Incandescent light bulbs. Cell phones. Electricity. Guns. HCG. Even...the internet...
  All in all, wow, what a downer.
  Yet what's encouraging is the emergence of the right wing blogs and the new right wing media.
  You can get early word on everything on Twitter.
  Blogs fill in the intellectual need for the right perspective on all this propaganda.
  There's a lawyer here to explain that, a professor to illuminate an historic trend, an economist to warn and reassure, a English teacher to enlighten, a spiritual guide to pull back the curtain of spirituality.
  These elements are thriving on the web and growing stronger daily.
  This is something to rejoice.
  And it's not going away.
  The bureaucrats can try to control our lives through our cars, our weight, our salt shakers.
  But there's a warning. Posting a calorie count on a menu is one thing but grabbing a driver's cell phone reaches right into a personal life. There will be a backlash on that, just like there will be a backlash if the bureaucrats try to mess with the internet.
  People won't like it and there'll be open revolt.
  So kudos to the right side of the web. 
  I'm thankful for all of you, many of whom I visit daily. I know you like family members even though we've never met.
  And I'm thankful for the readers of this blog, however many or few there might be.
  Rock on.
