re:>> ""During his recent US Senate campaign to replace the venerable Sen. Robert Byrd, West Virginia Senator Joe Manchin even fired a rifle in a campaign ad, declaring: "I'll take on Washington and this administration to get the federal government off of our back and out of our pockets. I'll cut federal spending and I'll repeal the bad parts of Obamacare. I sued EPA and I'll take dead aim at the cap-and-trade bill."
So here we go again in our VIOLENT society, another example.. Always the same ole by both sides.. Solve our problems violently, starting first with rhetoric and then go on to the real thing.. LIKE WARS, CAPITAL PUNISHMENT, etc.. No wonder the unstable grab a g.. to solve their problems..
Metaphors, the whole nine yards,
Even football, with the shotgun, the pistol, etc. as formations.. The blitz for example..
RELOAD when it comes to bringing in new recruits for a college football team..
And on and on it goes....
Face it folks, we are SO f'd up when it comes to our everyday language, reactions, actions, responses, etc..
And we continually reinforce this in our children with games, war toys and video games..
And ALL of US send our money to the MIC with damn few speaking out against it..
So thinking about it,
I don't think Palin, etal used anything different that doesn't conflict with our society in general...
But it CONFLICTS with my views,
But that's a different story as I come from a different place, planet or even time maybe..
I don't know.. |
