The Government's Shut Down...And Life Goes On...

I recently came across a typical on-line article dealing with politics. The crux of the article dealt ith the Government shut down. A partial or full Government shut down that's being presented in this article as a "blame this party or that party" isn't the proper way to gauge this issue. The key word in this poll is "responsibility" and if anything Republican's should be thanked for attempting to put up road blocks to halt Obama's agenda. This idea that a Government shut down is a terrible thing and therefore a party is to be "blamed" is nothing more than a cat and mouse tactic. The Democrats, namely Obama, are the guilty ones in shutting down access to popular tourist attractions. The truth is, it's Obama's fault that people can't visit the various memorials and museums. In a partial Government shut down Obama actually has the ability to keep some things open and shut down other things. For instance, his party felt it extremely important to open up a closed Government building for a rally on Amnesty...but yet they've decided to close down other places of interest to create this "it's the Republican's fault" blame game.

Obama's a duplicitous, appalling, and serial lying man-child that has no interest in solving problems. He wants to issue edicts and dictates and if Republicans don't follow his every command then "it's their fault" if something goes bad...and a largely ignorant public goes along with that sentiment...when in truth, Obama and his party are the ones responsible for any misery that falls upon those being directly affected by the shut down. The national news likes to spotlight suffering and misery during times of Government shut downs and not surprisingly the top narrative is the potential lack of Government checks to veterans and others

There's a leftist bias in the national media...it's always been there...dating back to the days when the original Democratic message didn't support division, jealousy, and special interest groups as it does today. This bias would have you believe that Republicans are "losing ground" with the public. Now, of course, nothing could be further from the truth.. The actual truth is the national media pushes that sentiment all day long on TV, on-line, and during radio newscasts...the psychological practice of repeating something so much it's perceived to be true is one of the oldest political tricks in the book. The phrase "perception is reality" is basically all that the Democrats are interested in. If they can make it appear that Republicans are to blame for every single thing that goes wrong then that's all that they're really concerned about. They're all looking ahead to that next election anyhow. You can say the same thing about some Republicans but the Democrats are the ones that employ that "perception is reality" technique the most.

Q: Can Obama be trusted to keep his word?

A: Every time the Republicans have caved on many issues with the promise from Obama that he'll set aside his rhetoric and work things out with the Republicans, he's never kept his promise or he hears their concerns but ultimately ignores what they have to say. Anyone that actually believes that Obama could ever do anything at the suggestion of the GOP is being hopelessly naive. He uses them to forge a false image of bi-partisanship but then throws them away once the cameras and microphones are off.

Q: Does Obama care about compromise?

A: Obama's all about himself. He has no compromising bone in his body and when you have a President like that, one that's uncompromising, condescending, and full of himself...how COULD an opposing party ever trust him or want to work with him again? This is why it's ultimately laughable that people could "blame" Republicans for any of this gridlock. The GOP has shown their willingness to compromise and have actually caved in on MANY issues that they shouldn't have...all in the name of compromise...but it's the stubborn Obama and his minions in Congress that have shown time and time again that they want it their way or the highway and yes, there's a long track record dating back to 2009 that proves it. Again, once a President ceases to have any shred of decency compounded with an unwillingness to give in for the sake of getting the Government back on track then he obviously doesn't have much room to cast blame but yet that's exactly what he did in his most recent attack speech.

He's a diabolical saboteur of the worst kind.

Scooby-Doo: Mask of the Blue Falcon...

In late February 2013 there will be a new DVD that'll hit the marketplace. Scooby-Doo: The Mask of the Blue Falcon is set to be released on February 26, 2013 and it has a runtime of 70-78 minutes according to various web-sites that have been writing about this upcoming movie since the middle of November. 

I have seen the video clip advertisement and for fans of Gary Owens you may be interested to know that he doesn't return to the role of Blue Falcon. Owens voiced the character from it's creation in 1976. The first appearance of the character happened on September 11, 1976 in the series titled Dynomutt, Dog Wonder. Blue Falcon and Dynomutt was a parody of the live-action Batman and Robin series from the mid '60s. The overly excited Blue Falcon narrator, Ron Feinberg, was an exaggeration on William Dozier, the narrator and executive producer of the live-action Batman series.

The Mask of the Blue Falcon film is visually patterned on the current Scooby-Doo series on the air titled Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated. This particular series began in 2010 and it's had one of the most bizarre scheduling feats of all time. Rather than airing at a set time and on a select day of the week this particular series has aired on multiple days of the week and at various times on a string of cable television outlets overseas and on the Cartoon Network in America. At the moment there have been 41 episodes produced of this particular series.
