Calling Out GOP Terror Hypocrisy

| No Comments

Rachel Maddow's takedown of former Vice President Dick Cheney and the other Republicans who are politicizing the foiled terror attempt on Northwest 253 is a must watch segment.

As she asks throughout the piece, where was Vice President Cheney's outrage when the administration in which he was serving had a similar reaction to the shoe bombing in December 2001? And, as Maddow notes at the end of this piece, members of the media have a choice, they can "just copy down what the Republicans and Vice President Cheney are saying, and click send, and call it journalism, or you can actually fact check those comments and put them into context."

Journey of Purpose

"In the end, there must be a purpose to our journey. Human endeavor cannot consist simply of random acts and happenstance. There needs to be meaning beyond self that gives our limited days definition and direction. And only within that meaning can the judgment rendered upon our lives have worth." -- U.S. Senator Paul Tsongas (1941-1997)
