About Fox, I don't really see them having a "divide and conquer" attitude. I mean, Fox is obviously conservative, so the UN condemning America is something conservatives wanna hear about. Likewise, MSNBC and CNN are liberal media groups. It really annoys me when people accuse Republicans of trying to divide the country. I think some republican stances are naturally devisive, but I don't think that is the purpose. However, I think the Democrats do make a point to divide, most often by attacking the administration at every chance. Now even if you disagree with Bush, you should admit that some of what the media and the DNC blames on him really has nothing to do with his presidency. The Democrats have a vested interested in breaking apart American unity on issues. It is paying dividends right now for them in the polls.

The thing is Fox posted this article on their website I agree, a condeming UN report concerns most conservatives and what they may want to hear about. By why do the conservatives give a rat's ass what the UN human right's commission says? Who cares? The U.N. as a whole pulls only so much power... It is really the National Security Council that has the "pull", but that hasn't stopped some countries from acting "buckwild"--they are still dropping bombs on places they ought not be doing, like Hezabollah on Israel... It is a matter of time when Hezabollah slips in just ONE nuke device to Israel--unless that chit can be maintained and Israel flexes like they need to be doing... But that's my opinion and I could be wrong...
And I think both parties, republicans and democrats, ride on the ability to divide people. Just republicans are better at doing it than democrats. Democrats can only do it to a point unless they want to piss off the constituency they are trying to pimp votes out of. Republicans are too self-righteous to pimp for votes...
My thing is let the games begin... We are in for a trip to Congress unlike that seen in a long time... There will be gained seats and lost seats--specially in the senate. If it goes all to one party again, there will be an underground activity that the Secret Police--I mean Homeland Security--would haveta shutdown.
