I don't much like the idea of aliens either, but I still believe what Drake is saying is the truth. He sometimes refers to them as ETs/angels so I like to think of them as angels here to help us get our country back.

Is the MSM finally stepping up?

That is quite a difference in size. I don't know how a seasoned pilot would make a mistake like that however, I'm not a pilot. Perhaps Magnus will weigh in on this one. Given his background, he could very likely shed some light on this for us all. Seems awfully strange to my inexperienced mind though.

I hope all eyes and ears are open wide when we see these things happening. We need to prepare for this type of scenario but I don't like it one bit.I don't think the arms treaty will pass but then again, what has Congress done for us lately? Not one damn thing.

I was watching Fox News when they talked about his weapons and his ammo stash...all of which together cost in the thousands of dollars. They did not go into the important question of just where did the money come from? In my mind all I could think of was how the ATF and E used tax payers money to pay for some of the weapons going to Mexican drug cartels. I can all too easily envision some Democratic Party operative saying to this guy "You must do this for the good of the party!" then giving him the money to buy everything. Is it really any different than the Taliban or Al Quida telling someone they must be a suicide bomber for the cause? I would not put anything past the anti-gun zealots, as they have shown their willingness to break the law to have an excuse to tighten gun laws even though they are only effective against law abiding citizens as criminals ignore them.

I'm still waiting for someone to explain where the money came from. I'm also waiting to hear his family explain why his mother said she was not surprised when she was told he had committed the shooting. Why had his family not had him committed if they knew he was a danger to others? Surely they are going to be civilly at fault if they knew he was mentally ill and did nothing to get him help for his illness.

There are too many questions about what happened that are not being answered.. Until we start getting answers, theories are going to run rampant.

Ken,

Am listening to Mark Levin's radio show this evening. Apparently ABC 'did it again' and mis-respresented her statement. She was sound asleep when her phone rang at 5:30AM. A reporter asked if she was Mrs,Holmes and she said yes, he then asked if Jim Holmes was her son, she replied as she did. She did not know why he was calling, knew nothing of the shooting. When she heard what was being aired by ABC (in their usual 'mis-respresenting)of facts she was shocked. She has hired an attorney, stating that just like the shooter being an alledged teaparty member, (who was 30 years older, hispanic) the MSM is 'out of control'.

{{{SIGH}}} I'm not surprised to hear that ABC lied yet again. The main stream media is getting a reputation for distorting the news, or just outright lying. I'm also beginning to wonder when other news sources, like Fox News will stop using information presented by the mainstream media as fact until they have verified it as fact by their own staff. I know it's important to jump on a story as quickly as possible, but that has to be balanced by presenting the truth. If something cannot be verified then they should state who put the information out first and state that they have not been able to verify that it is true, but will do so as soon as possible.

I thought FOX News was considered MSM? I haven't watched it in some time due to this. Have I been misinformed?

Depends on your outlook really. I like Fox News...although I do try to remember that they are not perfect and can and do make mistakes. It has been my experience that most of their mistakes have to do with following the other TV media's reporting by using their material in their news segments. They are more conservative than the other news outlets, but not totally conservative...but then I don't think any news outlet can be either totally conservative or totally liberal these days. Even the mainstream media liberal outlets have to report the real news sometimes. Granted they hate doing so, and let their feelings show when they are forced to do so, but Fox at least tries to be 'fair and balanced' as their tag line states. To live up to this they try to have a mix of conservative and liberal guests or commentators on the different segments of the news. I find this refreshing, as it serves to highlight just how 'intolerant' the 'tolerant' liberals can be, and just how closed their minds can be when it comes to news that upsets their world view. It is this juxtaposition that I enjoy, but I know how some could see it as giving the libs more airtime than they deserve. I just watch and enjoy the thought that a liberal watching might be struck by the difference between conservative and liberal viewpoints and be moved to question their position, and maybe, just maybe, move a bit to the right and open their minds and hearts to the truth. Even if they open up a small amount, it is a step in the right direction and hopefully they will continue to open their minds over time.
So that is why I don't lump Fox in with the mainstream news outlets. Fox tries and they don't. You will never see them trying to present any view but their liberal, stick to the party line reporting no matter what. But you should make your own decision. That is what freedom is all about, letting us reach our own decisions.

I certainly could never stomach CNN or MSNBC. The only cable news show that I even bothered to watch over the past several years was FOX News. It is great that they invite opposing views on the show because I remember watching Juan Williams slowly change from being quite liberal to a little more moderate over the segments that he contributed to. I even saw a slight (although very slight) change in Beckel right before I stopped watching. I am still a bit skeptical when it comes to any of the news channels but, perhaps I should give FOX another chance. I don't want to be misinformed about anything (especially important news) but I do miss hearing some of the more insignificant stories.

I appreciate your taking the time to respond Kenneth. It is always helpful to be able to consider anothers point-of-view.

Maybe this answers some of our questions.
