par·a·noi·a [par-uh-noi-uh]
noun
1. baseless or excessive suspicion of the motives of others.
We have got to be the absolute most paranoid people in the world. I commented on Monday how much I liked the Chrysler Super Bowl halftime commercial. I found it to be very inspirational. It talked about the American can-do attitude, pulling together, working hard, never giving up, etc. I saw nothing political about it. It was great! Plus I'm a big Clint Eastwood fan.
Not so the viewers of FOX News. I read that it was widely panned by them as a blatant attempt to support the Obama administration and thank them for their bail out from a couple years ago. Huh? Where did that come from?
I have some conservative friends (I'm fairly conservative myself) who I think wake up every morning foaming at the mouth, ready to jump into their camo and paint up their faces and go out an hunt 'em some Socialists. Then at the other extreme I have some more liberal friends who would swear on a Bible (if they have one) that the Huns are at the gate and will soon be goose-stepping up their front sidewalk.
What is wrong with people these days? My only concern is that one political party or the other will gain control of BOTH houses of Congress AND the White House, and everything I see/hear/read is indicating that's not going to happen. Just chill, people. Go take your medicine, or maybe watch a Chrysler commercial. Sheesh! ;)
