Twilight Zone

Peter Pan had Neverland. Walt Disney had Disneyland, and little kids even have Leggoland.

And now it seems the people of America are being treated to new lands created from unreality, fantasy, and hate.

In Palin Land, we have the opportunity to make statements based on nothing but conjecture, fiction, deceit and lies. It is a land where consequence and conscience matter not. It is a place where you start fires and walk away blaming others for the damage done. It is a location of run on sentences, finding evil doers, and never doing as I do, just as I say.

In Glenn Beck Land, you will find smarminess, vengeance and vile regurgitation of bigotry, bias and baseless baloney. It is a land where you can make statements of poisoning the Speaker of the House of Representatives, (the third person in line for President should something happen to the President and Vice President), fabricate any truth, deny fabricating the truth when caught, and then laugh about how the media makes a mockery of a simple man just saying how the "average joe" thinks.

In Republican Leadership Land mob rules, no matter what. The sense of debate compromise consensus, are meaningless because all three of the fore mentioned means to an end, might mean your point is never recognized.

In FOX TV Land, you never have to be "fair and balanced" in what you do and what you report, you just have to say you are. You will however have to yell, rant, scream to be heard. And always refer to God, the Constitution, a Christian Nation, and when speaking. Also guns are encouraged due to the potential for the United States army to come and arrest you. In FOX TV Land you don't need condoms for protection from sexual activity because good Americans abstain, but you need weapons for protection because Uncle Sam is waiting to get you.

In Rush Limbaugh Land, all you need to do is refer to the President as a Nazi. You don't have to believe the Holocaust happened, or that White Supremacy members might not have a point to live there. You can take as many pain killers as you want, but make sure you call anyone else who deals in prescription drugs without valid medical need a "junkie", loser and the ever impressive "low life".

In 700 Club Land, all you need to do is pay off Pat Robertson and his clan for having Jesus' ear. Provide the 700 Club with YOUR hard earned cash, because the Robertson boys are best friend with the Lord. They can wisp you right up to the pearly gates if you send them money every month. Jesus is in on their Board of Directors, so paying the 700 Club is like placing a buck in Jesus' robe.

In Lemming Land, all you need to be is a self loathing, angry, I deserve more and get less, someone owes me, I hate anyone different than me, this country belongs to whites, the south will rise again individual. You need to be ready to accept false promises, be duped for being dumb, ask no question which require fact, and follow your personal bigotry until it leads to a politician or religious leader who knows God better than you do. And even though they get paid more than you, or receive better health care than you, or receive a pension by which they retire early trust them as long as THEY say they are just like you.

Sometimes all of these new lands make me think I am living in the Twilight Zone.
