Keith Oblermann I'm sure feels he is a voice of sanity in a desert devoid of rationale thought, truth, compassion - a desert created by right wing rhetoric, hate, fear and really - insanity. But right wing rhetoric is designed to divide, to be divisive and derisive, to stir fear and thus hate in order to distract. And Fox News ratings depend on it. Its not about a unified country, not about a healed country working together in common purpose for the betterment of all. Last thing they want. A better more unified country is simply not going to be good for Fox News ratings and is not in the interest of big money and corporations - or so they think.
But in order to become a better country we simply must unify and find common ground. Our ultimate goal is to improve the lot of ourselves and of the world in general is it not?
Perpetual argument, hate, fear will not get us there.
Keith Oblermann - while seemingly a voice of truth in the desert of right wing rhetoric - really only accomplishes expungement of frustration. And in the process he creates more anger and divides even further.
It is time to focus on common ground. It is time to demand of our elected officials that they work together for the betterment of the country - not their personal and political agendas.
It is time to resist hate and fear - to buck up.
It is time for this country to begin to heal.
