Switched

Why wasn't the rest of this story reported here? He said he CAN’T surf the web and uses his wife’s assistance because he CAN'T use his fingers and arms very long that way. Why? Well because those pesky prison guards broke his fingers and arms over and over again while he was a POW. See, they were trying to torture information out of him. He let himself be beaten and broken over and over instead of betraying the country he loved.

He did not say he didn't understand the Internet, or didn't want to use it. He has a physical disability that only allows him to "hunt and peck" type for a short period of time. So his wife helps him. He can't lift his arms over is head either, because of the unset broken bones that healed badly.

The disgusting spin that was put on this story by Obama’s camp is one reasons I have really changed the way I think about the man, the party, and the way I will vote. They made a campaign commercial criticizing him over an honorable gotten physical DISABILITY. They tried to make it look like he was an old fuddy duddy, not with the times. I think both the disabled and the senior citizens should take offense to this, as well as those war veterans who survived with disabilities. I suppose if they can’t attack the man’s character, they must attack his physical failings. That would make them bullies. It also would make them pretty much all around bad people.

Another example of some very sorry and sloppy journalism was the Palin interview where they said she said the war was God's plan. They showed a clip of her talking in her church, and then they cut it of mid word! And I know why. I watched the WHOLE tape. She said she "hoped God had a plan" not that “it WAS God's plan for war.” Cutting her off mid word look very suspicious, not to mention desperate, so I researched until I could view the full taped. It actually was shown on Glen Beck last night. The difference was night and day.

People, before you make your choice on who you are going to vote for, check out ALL news outlets. Limit MSNBC, because they are just bias and catty, and even the men are whiney little bitches.

When you hear from liberals and liberal media that we are hated throughout the world, don't buy it. Get international pen pals. I did last year. All around the world. It really opened up my eyes. They look up to us. I have never come across anyone who had anything bad to say about America. You know why? Because in every country they are having the same problem we are-Muslim extremist terrorists. (I said Muslim extremist terrorists. Not regular Muslims, so save it). One pen pal friend was beat nearly to death by 10 men with clubs as he walked home just because he left a Christian church.

In every country I have pen pals in, it is the same story. They want to be us. They want to be here. They ask, “Is it true that in America you can be anything you want to be? Even women?” That’s how much we take our freedom for granted. They wish their leaders were as strong. They live with violence and corruption daily that we only saw once-September 11th. Ethiopia, Bangladesh, Nigeria, Indonesia-all the same story.“We live in fear. It gets scarier every day here to be a non-Muslim. I wish we lived in America.” I challenge you to go get international pen pals. I recommend the site www.europa-pages.com it’s free, and safe for all ages. It’s a great chance for you and your family to learn about other cultures.

While it is true that EVERY country has enemies, we do not have nearly as many as you have been led to believe. And the ones we do have, like crazy Hugo Chavez in Venezuela, and Kim Jong on North Korea, really are not the kind of people I’d care to call “friend.”

You are largely responsible and able to educate yourself on current affairs, and keep yourself from being politically ignorant.

One if the biggest politically ignorant things you can do is vote for a candidate because they are the same color as you or the same gender as you.
