Yesterday, I was listening to Air America when this clown named Ed Schultz said we should shoot down the North Korean missile about to be tested. I decided then that I am pretty much done with listening to Air America. Gee, that didn't take long.
I quit listening to NPR 6-8 months ago because I couldn't stand hearing their corporatist, pro-war swill. The only issues upon which NPR is consistently "liberal" or "leftist," despite what the lunatic right says, are gay marriage and reproductive rights. In the grand scheme, these two issues pale in comparison to whether or not the U.S. will continue to be a republic and not an imperial fascist state. For this reason, after years of listening to NPR, I quit. Enter Air America.
I have listened to it for a short time, and already, I notice the same problem. The so-called progressives appear to be every bit as belligerent as the neoconservative cabal working to overthrow the rule of law. Ed Schultz, a pretend progressive, advocates comitting an act of war against a sovereign state. Who or what gives the U.S. the right to tell other the countries what weapons they can or cannot develop, anyway? Our moral superiority? See Abu Ghraib or Gitmo or the School of the Americas, etc. Or is it our military might? Our ability to project power? That equals tyranny.
Schultz is not the only "progressive" to support warmongering. Franken only protests the way the Iraq war is being waged and that we were lied into it. He doesn't call for immediate withdrawal and an end to the military state. True, Randi Rhodes has come out against the war, but I've heard express the b.s. opinion that "sometimes you have to go to war." Well, only if you allow bankers/corporations/politicians to create conditions conducive to global conflicts. But that's another story. The fact remains I am jettisoning Air America from my radio dial. If I want to be aggravated by warmongering nonsense, I'll go straight to Fox.
