What do I think about the recent events, well let me tell you.
The argument between Bill O'Reilly and Geraldo Rivera was great TV, and if you missed it you should see it. There is a video of it a couple posts down. To the point that they were talking about though. O'Reilly is on the war path about two teen girls that were killed in an accident with a drunk driver. The driver as it happens was an illegal immigrant. Rivera rightly points out that the fact that these two girls died is sad, and it is sad that they were killed by a drunk driver, but it is irrelevant that he was not a legal citizen. I agree with Rivera on this point very strongly, that crimes are committed is always sad, when young people die, it is sad. It is not however more sad or less sad based on the citizenship of the person involved. An unfortunate number of people are killed every year in alcohol related accidents that involve only American citizens.

I have been watching Fox News on my cell phone, so I am seeing a lot of Bill O'Reilly, also there are a lot of videos of him at YouTube. In his fued with Rosie, I really don't support either party in this. I can't support the idea that O'Reilly is putting out there that O'Donnell should not be able to voice her opinions. On the other hand I do find that O'Donnell is not doing herself any favors by making these outrages statements. There are times when we talk about what people say, and there are times we talk about how people say what they say. I don't think that O'Donnell is choosing the best platform or language for communicating her ideas in a way that will reach other people. Her language has done more to upset, and make people angry. The people who support her here that and get angry in agreement, those who oppose her hear that and get angry in disagreement. There is little to no real communication taking place between one side and the other when communication takes these terms.
Moving right along, Nancy Pelosi is in the Middle East. She is talking to leaders in Syria, which angers many people in the administration, and in the country. I think that her trip is poorly planed and could result in further attacks on America. When a country becomes divided the way her trip makes the world believe we are, it invites attack. There are no doubt forces of evil in this world that will manipulate this for their own ends. It could even threaten her life, by being an international player she becomes an international target by those who think that targeting her. If a group cannot get the attention of the president through terror, I can see how they might attempt to target that terror at Pelosi, hoping that she will open discussions that will make their cause legitimate.
