Quote of the Week

Posted on June 13, 2009 by Matt Osborne

“And at this point, whatever dividing line there was between mainstream conservatism and the black-helicopter crowd seems to have been virtually erased.” Paul Krugman
…………………….

Was there ever a dividing line?

Bush was elected by eight years of talk radio Clinton-bashing. Rush Limbaugh shared the same stations with Art Bell and Alex Jones.

The segue from Monicagate to Vince Foster-lunacy to Chinese rocket scientists to United Nations troops in Nebraska to black helicopters didn’t come with a listener-guide.

How was a listener supposed to know where the reality-line lay?

    There are lots of things we don't know. I have seen things that I have no explanation for and neither did the others who saw it at the same time when I was on the road. It wasn't just me, there were several of us that saw it. Just outside of Alamogordo, NM funny flying object..never explained, never mentioned in the news either.

    That was just 1, there were many over the years I was on the road…lol I saw things out around Edwards all the time that was always explained as weather balloons and such and then later turned out to be experimental airplanes..lol

    Yes, there are things we don't know, and maybe things we don't want to know.

    But on the other side of the coin, maybe there are things we should know, but are being kept in the dark. I do think there are other civilizations and other planets who might be visiting us. Yeah, call me crazy..but why do we have to be the only ones in the universe?

    Feel Better… OKAY? Please.. I know how it is to be off your feet so I can sympathize..

    Thanks, Annette!

    I'm not going to be convinced we're being visited by little green (or gray) men until I meet one. And I'm sorry, but that phone call is as fake as a wooden nickel. For one thing, who talks like that when they're under stress? Who rambles like that when they've got an important truth to deliver and a limited time to do it? Too much preamble, not enough conclusion.
