Making History

It used to be "making history" meant someone did something of monumental importance from a historical perspective that was, at the time, simply doing the right thing. "Doing" used to be what was history making, now talking is making history or defining it, or affecting it. This term has certainly been redefined, not by usage, but rather by rhetoric. Talk radio is "making history" by making issues, beating a topic to death and beyond, and changing the course of history, rather than actually doing anything of significance to be noteworthy for future generations. Making history has now become the goal or results of manufacturing hysteria and influencing indoctrination.
I keep hearing that Senator Obama is "making history." I don't see it that way, at all. I remember when Mr. Obama was placed in the center spotlight in 2004 before he was a Senator from Illinois. And I remember when he "decided" and announced that he would run for president. Most people either had no idea who he was, or remembered that he was simply a junior Senator. Well, he played that "junior" deal into "fresh" and "no bad political history," which is sad, because I still don't know who is really behind him, but they, whomever "they" are, are all about making history, go their way!
I now read that Senator Obama is the "democratic choice," but I haven't spent the last two years comatose. I remember when Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity had a "smear Hillary campaign" going, so basically, Obama is the republican pundit choice, not the democratic choice at all. And the sad thing . . . the Obama supporters are oblivious to this fact.
I came to the knowledge, a couple of years ago, that I needed to hear what the pundits were telling "their followers," because it would be history making, and it has been. I so wish the radio listening public would use their own brains, but radio is a special deal. Radio incorporates its message into the subconscious. Few people actually just sit and listen, although I'm sure if there are any radio listeners that fit the "air sucking only, while listening" group, they belong to Sean and Rush. Most people have the radio going while doing other things, and the songs or talk or whatever just permeate the brain like osmosis. Most Rush and Sean fans think they are cerebral, when in fact Rush and Sean know they are appealing not to intelligence, but rather emotion, which is why they tell their listeners, they are informed about the issues. When people are informed, they don't have to be "told," they know.
Now back to this history making. I heard for a fact, the smear campaign against Hillary Clinton by the conservative pundits and we now see the evidence that it worked, and I don't really think the Hillary supporters or the Obama supporters listen to these two guys . . . and yet history proves the past few months have resulted in something totally unpredicted . . . or was it? I would offer in the past few months, history has truly been made and manufactured to suit someone beyond the ones that are on the playing field and certainly beyond the ones being played.
Barrack Obama is not the choice of the Democrats. He is the choice of the pundits, and the pundits are the choice ones to convey and encourage "The American Way," the usual American method . . . default by anger and aggression.
Making history is what's left of the manufacturing industry in America.
