I just spent 2 nights in the hospital for heart related problems, out of boredom I surfed the different news channels mainly CNN and FOX. I don't have anything but broadcast television at home, and, like I said, I was in a bed, and bored....., I got exposure to what I normally am not exposed too, and truthfully, im thankfull. All CNN was concerned with all day was the funeral of Michael Brown. It was a big deal, with all the well known pot stirrers at work.
This nation has many heroes in the military, police, firefighters, and just ordinary citizens that have died trying to save or help people, and our nation, and I can find nothing the above mentioned man did, besides rob a convenience store, and numerous other juvenile crimes.Can not find a single positive contribution to society that he made, not one. They called him a "Gentle Giant", and of course show photos of him as an innocent youthfulll baby boy when in fact he was an intimidating 6' 4" 292 lb thug, with a thugs record, and he got a thugs just reward.
Hey Randy, praying for you good buddy. Hope everything is OK. You are right , our heroes get very little press while thugs like him get lifted up to an undeserved status . How screwed up is this country of ours ?

Mango! Yuk!!! If that won't kill you, nothing will.
Randy, forces have been at work since the 1960s to destroy this country from within. A growing number of people suffer from "White guilt" and this is promoted by the media. Fact is, some Races are failing, while others adapt.
Free people are not equal. Equal people are not free.
Its just amazing how these stats are ignored by our country's liberal media. There is no such thing as news anymore, only some networks biased opinion of current events. Its disturbing to watch for sure.
As far as my health, im OK. It was atrial fibulation, which I have had bouts of since my early thirties. Its just an eratic and racing heartbeat. Spent two nights in the horse pistol getting IV meds, tested, pricked, bitched at for not taking meds, damn near got up to whip an unruly patient down the hall, and have lost probably 30% of my body hair from that damn sticky tape and monitor pads. My advice to anyone that feels any heart palpatations, is to just go on and take a bath in NAIR, and save you're self a lot of pain !
Thanks for the concerns.

It is NOT IGNORED! They are fully aware of it. They only present the spin that suits their agenda. Government hasn't been "OF, BY, AND FOR THE PEOPLE" since Dwight Eisenhauer
