"GenerationAnys" The Monthly Rant (April 2006)
Hello dear reader, and welcome....
It seems as if, with the coming of spring, with all its renewal and fresh life the wriiters fancy- amazingly!- has turned not to thoughts of love but to matters of the cerebellum instead. Specifically to the mid-term elections and a brief analysis of the political partys Blog sites. Yes dear reader, everyone it seems has their own Blog these days and these are only a few of the ones the writer checked into.
DEMOCRATIC: Michigan Liberal. com and www.justicecaucus.org
-AND-
REPUBLICAN: www.republicanmichigander.blogspot.com and Lunchbucketconservative.com....
-These, as I said are only four of the many blogs- both for the Republican and Democratic party's- that I've found. These four are the ones I actually downloaded with the intention of researching. Civic minded individuals out there might want to go to these Blogs- as well as others- and check into them. Until you do though, allow the author to offer his own opinions. Oh, don't whine! Surely you saw it coming....
-POLITICS:
In all four of the Blogs both partys, in articles and archives, readers comments and rags. seemed, to this writer, to be more intent on pointing out differences and pointing fingers than actually addressing issues. And though neither party would be willing to admit to it, they share far more similaritys than they have differences.
Some of these being. 1 Anyone insulting, or speaking ill of the other guy is automatically labeled either a right or left wing extremist by the opposing party. 2 Both the Democratic as well as the Republican party's seem to up the anti as elections draw closer. Words such as 'dangerous', 'careless' and 'corrupt' are thrown about with more and more frequency. Showing, to this writer anyway, how truly desperate both partys are becoming when faced with the possibility of loosing ground and or constituents. And finally, Similarity 3, that, with both partys, and a majority (and please note, I refrained from saying all) of politicians, it's always been more a case of 'self' interest and 'self' preservation than actually caring about the citizenry....
Anyway, go to those- or any of the hundreds of other Blogs and see for yourself, dear reader....
Oh, and while your at it, go to the writers own Blog GenerationAny.com and check out the rest of this Rant, and others.... Thanks for your time, and keep on reading my friends. But most importantly. Keep on questioning?....
