The Right Wing Conservatives in the Media (a special editorial by John Lucia)

You know them by name and the lack of substance in their talk on T.V. and Radio. They continue to bash Democrats while the Republicans are running the country. They do that because they can't articulate what they themselves, and other so called conservative republicans, stand for.

They always speak on issues that divide the country instead of those that unite us. They like to talk about the U.S. going to war to prove to the world the U.S. is the leading military power in the world and therefore can do whatever we want to do. They have a lot of influence, not because they are right but because they only tell half the story and mislead people.

They try to cloak themselves with moral and family values and patriotism to hide their own character problems. They feel so inadequate they lash out at Veterans in an effort to hide their own guilt feelings. They believe in Ronald Reagan's commandment of never speak ill of another republican even if they do something that puts our country at risk. They flash names of elected officials on the T.V. screen knowingly with the wrong party affiliation to try and deceive their viewers. Some of them screen their calls because they can't handle the truth. They share the same ideology as the neocon politicians.

They act like cry babies when they invite Bill Maher and President Clinton on their shows and Maher and Clinton get the best of them. They end up shouting at people on their shows when they can't get their way. That is the mark of an insecure person. They try to give the impression they support our troops but are now beating the drums of war concerning Iran.

They represent the worse in free speech on the air because they lack the character necessary to compete with the facts and truth in an open society. You know who they are. Many of them work or appear on the Fox News Channel and on radio, on the EIB network and on CNN's Headline News talk shows. But there is one thing you will never hear them talk about. What did they do for their country during their generation's war. That says it all.
