I have a confession to make: I do not watch Fox News.... there I said it. I have watched Fox news in the past, I was a regular viewer as a matter of fact until the invasion of Iraq. It was at that point that I began changing the way I viewed the world and politics. I still watched Fox News after that of course, but much less

then came the Patriot Act and within a few months I had gone from what I labeled myself a 'Moderate Republican' to what I now consider myself to me a 'Moderate Democrat'. Although I think I may have slipped into the realm of full on socialist nut job by anyone who considers themselves a 'conservative', 'fiscal conservative' and most definitely by anyone who considers themselves a member of or sympathetic to the Tea Party...

I HAVE watched Fox News in bits and pieces, as much as I can stomach in recent months, but only for a few laughs. Unfortunately the laughs turn sour quicker and quicker.

My son recently told me a saying one of his teachers told him when he was in grade school (he is now in college) it was this: If you are a republican you can't have a heart, if your a democrat you can't have a brain.

I will add to that: if you're style of debate is name calling and hurling insults, then you can't have an intellect.

Of course that will only bother the democrats amongst us since having an intellect has been widely held by the right as being Elitist and bad mmmmmmmkay
