Daily Reflections

We named this blog Vistor from Earth and I didn't realize how fitting it was until the end of the program this evening.
Listening to Dick Cheney and others speak tonight, it becomes very clear that they are speaking about an entirely different world than I live in.
They live in a world that is pink and rosey, where America has never been stronger at home and abroad, where the economy is pumping out more jobs then we know what to do with, where we are loved and adored internationally, where the president is hugely popular, where progressives try to take away your rights, and where there are only sunny days ahead.
The world Cheney and his friends talked about tonight was a world where the people that control three branches of government are the vicitims, where the only media to trust is biased, and where we are constantly finding biological and chemical weapons in Iraq. I kid you not, Rep. Chris Cox, CHAIR of the Homeland Security Committee told the audience, "We continue to find biological and chemical weapons [in Iraq]." Well if Rep. Cox knows where they are then I wish he'd share it with the rest of us!
They live in a world where you get an award for asking someone to resign. Sen. Norm Coleman recieved the Defender of the Constitution Award for being the first Senator to ask for Kofi Annan's resignation. To conservatives, any jab at the UN deserves an award. If all you have to do to get an award is denounce someone you dislike and try to get them fired I deserve about 50 awards.
I don't think this sounds like the real world at all, does it? It certainly sounds like THEY are a little out of touch.
