Gray petitions against media matters

The article discussed how C. Boyden Gray, formerly on the white house counsel for president bush's first administration and a contributor to fox news in 2005 , wrote a petition to the IRS professing that the Media Matters conservative media "watchdog" has taken on partisan views and should no longer be exempt of taxation. He feels, that they have targeted fox news and are disrupting the commercial interest of news corp, fox's parent network. I suppose because i have liberal views, i kinda feel like i'd so appreciate it if this dude stopped whining. but i've noticed that since Obama has been in office/it's been a democratic majority rule, even my republican friends have shared how "it sucks to feel singled out" or how they feel "like everyone is ganging up on them" or "how they're in the minority and it's not fair, but whatever." i really want to shake my head, right then, to let them know how obnoxious i think it is, because it's like please pity me, i'm a conservative. but if i look at this objectively, i'm certain their are liberals that felt that way during the administration prior and were saying things along these lines; i was in middle school and didn't really care about politics at the time, so i wouldn't know for sure. i don't feel that way, so i can't say i agree. another thing i observed, is that in defense of negative comments directed at President Obama, conservatives will assert how the whole world is wrongfully against their blameless former President Bush, that he tried his best, and no one was complaining when we went into the war. you are so right. because somehow, we were so masterfully duped into thinking we were playing war with a country when really, we were kinda part of showing daddy bush that bush jr. could carry out his plans he didn't quite get to finish. There are policies that i don't agree with that President Obama has put into place. Spending a ghastly amount of money that was intended for immediate and short lived recovery...yikes. Our debt is now uber astronomical and that's undeniable. Both liberals and conservatives have mega opinions on their leaders and by the looks of it, genuine bi-partisan chillness is hard to imagine. I suppose with the big issues, like our economic recovery, is the place to start though. Survival of our country should certainly be a topic we can all agree on.
