2009... Histrionics, Hysteria, Hyberbole, Hoaxed, Hustled... Do I Need to Go On?

What a way to end the year!!

"Little Jihadi Boy" burns his "groin-ish" area in an attempt to bring down a passenger jet over the city of Detroit and nearly succeeds. Fortunately, Murphy's Law...Karma...Divine Intervention (whatever you may want to call it) limited the damage to his "Jihadi Jewels" and the high explosives did not detonate.

But don't worry... our Great Protector in Skirt, Janet Napolitano, is assuring the public that "...the system worked...". That's reassuring... wait! When did it begin working? OH! So the system began working AFTER it failed in a cataclysmic and deafening roar... I see.

There is more to this story to come, but I want to focus on the ENTIRE YEAR! It is, after all New Years Eve and we are putting 2009 in the history books. Sadly, the history books will NEVER tell the truth about what happened this year. But we will know.

Histrionics: Exaggerated emotional behavior, calculated for effect (The Healthcare Plan)

Hysteria: Behavior exhibiting excessive or uncontrollable emotion, such as fear or panic (H1N1)

Hyperbole: A deliberate exaggeration used for effect. (Homeland Security Cyber Systems Controls)

Hoax: Trick (Immigration Reform, Global Warming)

Hustle: To sell or get by questionable means (Economic Stimulus Package)

Let's take a look at these items, one-by-one, and get to the "bottom line", as it were. What is the "straight poop" on these issues that seemed so ready to destroy our nation for the last 12 months? What are the REAL threats?

In the next five posts we will take a look at the "big issues" that the media would have us focus on. Then in the next five posts I will show you what the media and administration DOESN'T consider important. And you can decide if it's important to you or not... they are important to me!

First up will be the H1N1 flu and the Global Warming Religion. The truth isn't hard to find, but maybe just difficult to swallow. And, I won't be doing as the Obama Administration is doing and ask you to just take  my word for it. I will be providing you with sources and source data; some that comes from the government agencies.

I'm not asking you to agree with ME. I'm just asking you to think about two things while you read the next ten posts for this blog:

1. Why were the "big issues" the "big issues"?
2. How much good, or bad, can happen when we let the government do things, for our own good?

Let's get started...
