I Simply Cannot Buy Rolling Stone Magazine…

Since this came out, I have not been able to even bring myself to buy that magazine.

Once upon a time, there was a wonderful magazine that gave us articles about music and the music world–along with artists that were engaging in worthwhile pursuits at times. Then one day, someone decided to throw the very things that those of us who came to that magazine wanted to get away from, which includes depressing news and politics, in our faces.  However a person in charge of this magazine decided it would be appropriate to put a young man’s face on the cover who was the epitome of everything that is wrong in this country.  

“But what could possibly be wrong in this country?” some would think aloud.

“Complacency.” was the word that came to mind of others.

As a society, we have become far to complacent when it comes to what the media wants to subject us as an audience to.  If it were NEWS that would be one thing.  However in recent years, the media likes to bombard us with editorials. It gets really old. If I want someone’s opinion of what is going on in the world, I’ll simply ask them.  HOWEVER, when I want to know what is going on in this world, I only want the facts–and not their opinions of how they think these things should be or should not be.  Evidently the media no longer believes that we can make up our own minds on any issue,  so they try to tell us “how to think”…

We have also become far too complacent as a nation as to our own security.  Why do  I say that? Simple. Look around.  We’ve got teenagers going around targeting elderly people–especially if not of their own race, and yet no one DARES call that a hate crime IF the victim is white. IF the person who does it is white and the victim is black,  you can bet there will be serious jail time involved. This seriously leads me to question what truly is a hate crime if one group of  people who attack ANYONE due to race is not prosecuted while one person manages to get the collar… It is time to change that, people.  One form of racism does not justify another and if hate crime laws are not going to be equally prosecuted, they shouldn’t even be on the books. Justice is supposed to be blind–not subject to the whim of the US Attorney General or his boss. If one is really concerned about these young people getting hurt and killed for pulling such antics, then maybe the parents should step up to the plate and start monitoring who their kids are hanging out with again. Now back to my original topic…

Maybe IF this guy’s parents had done THAT much and kept their sons away from other radicals, they might not have ended up killing 4 people and wounding/maiming plenty of others. However, the mother isn’t too concerned about it given the clip below:

Did you notice where he told her, “Don’t say anything.”  Why would he say that? That statement is out-of-place unless one is hiding something…Nice try. Russia even knew about her fanaticism. I think we know where these two men went wrong and it lies within their own mother. Sorry. She raised them to be as they are/were. She is more upset that they actually got caught in their own game, and if they had not done it, they wouldn’t have hijacked that Chinese boy’s car afterward to get away.  He will get the best defense on American soil money can buy. What I want to know is, who will hear the victims’ cries for justice as the blood calls out from their graves?

And this magazine seems to want to paint an empathetic picture of what is wrong with this guy, or am I mistaken? Sorry…I don’t buy into it and will no longer read Rolling Stone.

Have WE Gotten to the Point to Where We Can’t Fix This?

Before I begin, I suggest (strongly) that you read this article.  http://www.trueactivist.com/the-real-problem-with-that-rolling-stone-cover/

it speaks to why the Rolling Stone cover with Dzhokhar Tsarnaev is the real problem for anyone who is tired of the media meddling and interfering with trying this case when the courts should by trying the guy. If this case ends in a mistrial, the jury pool is already tainted anyhow.

What worries me more is that America is becoming too comfortable with the media covering up some stories while expounding on others, depending on what political affiliation the subject of the story entails.  This is NOT journalism.  I do not even consider it to be close to being worthy of the term.  Reporters should be reporting any breaking story–not the ones that make one person look bad as they work to protect the political entities they tend to favor–or those who own them…Take your pick on that one.

If the powers that be don’t want to get their heads out of their fannies and fix the mess in this country, then the moderates need to band together with other independents and simply vote libertarian and be done with  these jokers already. I’d truly prefer it if the bankers were jailed with them too, but I did notice that OUR media didn’t report on what Iceland did to fix their economic woes and the people did it–not the government…

The media also needs to inform the government that children are NOT their property. They are not property of the village, state,  collective or whatever the hell they want to call it. In fact, I am thinking that government is too big, paid too much and doing to little to preserve this nation. They should be fired. It’s that simple. I’m tired of both parties making excuses and pointing fingers at each other, and pitting Americans against each other on what should be common sense issues. Stop trying to legislate who can be with who–whether it’s marriage or whatever.  In short, the government, along with most Americans can make this a better place by tending to their own back yards instead of trying to control what everyone else does in theirs. If the media would listen to the viewers (the majority of whom are fed up with the bull going on in Washington), they might enjoy better ratings for a change.

And for those reporters who claim to be Christian out there–get the board out of your eye before trying to pull the splinter out of everyone else’s since judgment will begin with the “House of God”. If you read your bibles, then you should be able to quote chapters and verses that statement is out of. If not, stop being hypocrites and dust them off and read those things once in a while. Better yet FOLLOW the rules in it so you won’t be in other peoples’ business. It’s up to God to judge others–not you.

My mountain looks better all the time. I don’t have to listen to all the lies on the news up there too. The members of the media are tentacles of the beast that keeps this crap going and it is time that Americans stop judging each other and start pointing the finger at the leadership of this country, however they must quit believing the media first because all of them tend to lie too much or omit facts while being overly free with their opinions. They, along with the government have failed the country. It  remains divided. Now the PEOPLE must fix this mess because they will not. They will only make it worse. I am truly starting to wonder if Iceland had the right idea.
