Could some of us here on DU do better at kicking "Local & International News on Weather Disasters?"


There are some good folks who try in "LBN Forum" here. That's how I saw the Bosnia Floods....but, there isn't "Follow Through" on these Global Disasters and even some of our USA Disasters anymore.

Instead we are flooded with Glen Beck, Shaun Hannity...Tea Baggers Fail in "American Spring" with how many posts over and over and it's overwhelming how little it seems most people care here on DU about either International News or Local news that doesn't involve laughing like 4th Graders over Tea Party or RW Antics. They OBSESS WITH IT....

I've never watched Faux News...barely know who Beck, Hannity or whatever they are except that they are PROMOTED here on DU, along with Rush Limbaugh whose so "old news" but, seems to still have some obsessed with his latest rant or whatever he does.

I don't come here to obsess over RW ANTICS and to be exposed to the same vitriolic HATE that the RW has for US that WE push back onto THEM.

We Dems have enough problems cleaning up our own act than to waste time with being HATERS like the RW seems to be.

Let's get our OWN HOUSE IN ORDER. Childish games doesn't move us forward....it pulls us back into the Bush Years.

I, for one, thought we'd gone BEYOND the Bush Hater Years.
