IF PERRY COMO SAYS SO, IT MUST BE TRUE
Many, many years ago our oldest daughter told her two
younger sisters that there must be a Santa Claus because she heard Perry Como
read the letter “Yes, Virginia there is a Santa Claus” to his audience. She
told them “if Perry Como said so it must be true”. At the time she was probably
eight years old.
In the year 2013, there are many adults with the
mentality of eight-year olds, who believe everything they hear on television
and the radio. The ranting and ravings of Rush Limbaugh, Glen Beck, Ted Cruz,
Bill O’Reilly, Rand Paul and the rest of their ilk shout out half-truths and
innuendos to their clueless listeners who believe that if they say so it must
be true.
The sad part of it all is that the people believing them
are basically people with low incomes and the ones most harmed by the same
ranting and ravings.
It's funny, as I don't think I dislike all the mentioned people because of political leanings (mine or theirs); it's more about when I listen to their biased commentary and continuous twisting of facts -- for political reasons, pure and simple -- that I just dislike them...period.
