The Noteworthy Right-Wing Mind Filter

Although it's quite popular for the Fox News folks or the radio talk show hosts to throw stones at the left-leaning mainstream media and its many sins, perhaps they should check out their own house first. Let he who is without sin, etc.

Seven years ago I got into a giant argument or three about the Bush administration's responsibility in the matter of the 9/11 attacks. I was told emphatically that it was all Clinton's fault. Not long ago, I got into an argument about the current economic woes. I was told it was all Oboma's fault. (It's safe to conclude I'm an argumentative sort.)

I now believe right wingers have a filter which cleverly allows only good things to pass through and enter their minds. Bush and his administration bear no responsibility for anything bad which happens on their watch. If something bad does happen, it's the previous/incoming president's fault. Often wrong but never uncertain.

Lord, it's no wonder we threw the rascals out.
