LETTERMAN VS PALIN

Face it, Letterman is an old washed up ghost of his former self. In reality a creepy sort of old ghost, perhaps even the word perverted would sum it up At one time he was irreverent, funny and one of the countries best comedians. However, in recent years (many years) he has become a lampoon of himself. As boring and predictable and one can be. His comedy is generally Corny and funny only to himself and a studio audience of either nitwits or folks trying to be courteous to a washed up old hack.
It's pretty obvious that Letterman is a left leaning fellow and if at one time he use to appear to be neutral politically, he is certainly no longer that.
The recent flap over the tasteless jokes regarding Sarah Palin and her family demonstrate how far Letterman has fallen of the wagon. It might now be so bad but, he is so shallow and shameless in his attacks on the conservatives that any attempt by the viewer to pretend impartiality is non-existent. Now six months into the Obama administration he like others of his ilk, continue to bash the previous President and his administration. Regardless of all that which is so pathetic of this guy his recent "jokes" have crossed a line in their crudity and perversion.
At one time we Americans could disagree with a politician, perhaps even dislike him or her strongly but there was still able to that respect for the office itself. It appears that has even gone away as people like Letterman and some others disparage the person so greatly that it even affects the office itself. David Letterman is a poster boy for that which is bad about this country and its politics. Of course we can continue to hide behind the first amendment when cornered for the Lettermanlike behavior. Sadly this whole late night comedy stuff is eating away slowly at the pride, strength and fabric of our nation. Bit by bit, in very tiny bites. Much like the ant eating the apple. It will take a long time and the bites may only appear noticeable but if given enough time the whole apple will be gone. Way to go Mr Letterman, way to go! Your behavior and attitude are disgusting.

SEEING IT FOR WHAT IT IS

I think it's time that we in America face a few facts. (And) Yes, before you ask they are facts, borne by statistics and just plain old common sense. If you read newspapers, blogs, watch TV news or listen to the radio, you should notice that we are constantly fed a stream of headlines and stories over and over that, if you pay attention to reality, are simply not true, not working or not ever going to work.
First, it should be noted that in relation to so called "dangerous" nations, the idea of "sanctions" have not, do not, nor will ever work. Think about it, we have been imposing "sanctions" on North Korea for decades and yet they are still launching missiles and building WMD's. Same goes for Iran and yes even little old Cuba is still giving us the finger after 50 years. The continued "joke" of sanctions hasn't stopped a thing there either. We have been led to believe that these folks have been living like cave people, close to starvation and deep in poverty for years. So, a few weeks or months of sanctions should put them over the edge. Well take a look at the reality. It "ain't happening and it shows no sign of happening, so let's get passed the bullshit and quit given us this nonsense. I can't figure who is more stupid the government for trying to sell us on this crap or the idiots in the media for buying in to it.
Secondly, the garbage notion that we have a free, independent and unbiased media is surely the biggest, fattest lie in history. When are people going to wake up and see that the media has an agenda. Whether it's liberal or conservative, left wing or right wing, they all have an agenda, plain and simple. Oh yes and lets all keep playing the fool and pretend it isn't so. It used to be something behind the scenes or at least more subtle but, no longer. The bias and political leanings of our fourth estate are exceedingly clear and evident. Now they have taken to bashing each other during the news casts or daily in print. All one has to observe are the weekly "feuds" between folks like Bill O'Reilly and Keith Olberman or Rush Limbaugh and Olberman or almost any right winger and Olberman. It is a constant drumbeat of spats between Ann Coulter, Shawn Hannity or Glenn Beck on the right versus Bill Mahar, John Stewart and
the previously mentioned Olberman on the left. It's amazing how they work in their stinging criticism of the other side in between the so called news stories they report. What a total joke! Wake up people.

GIVE AND TAKE (MOSTLY TAKE)

Two of the toughest things to accomplish are: getting paint off your dress slacks and, trying to figure out how so many people in this country have developed such an unchecked sense of entitlement. It has become quite obvious that there is now in America an ingrained culture of folks who believe its their sole right to get everything for nothing and, that it is the sole responsibility of others to provide it.
A generation of people has grown into this "solid as concrete" mentality that who they perceive as "rich people" (which really means working middle and upper middle class folks) must provide everything to them that they would otherwise have to work to obtain. Be it Welfare, Food Stamps, Subsidized Medical Care, Free Lunches, Free Legal Advice, Birth Control, Free Bus Transportation, Free Education, WIC Programs, Free Housing etc. According to this ingrained from birth mentality, all of these are owed to them and are part of our responsibility to provide.
How does one become so tainted? How it may be asked can a person become a constant taker and in essence a leach on society. Very simple, you prey on the generosity of some, the guilt of others and use all the tools provided to you by the liberals who have carved out a niche in the cottage industry of victim-hood. This is all they know. The takers will soon outnumber the givers, then what?

America Under Coordinated and Long Term Attack

This attack on America was begun back in the 1960's and continues on through today. It has been moving quite slowly and methodically on many fronts within American Society. It has been waged against the family, the church and the foundation of our system of education.
The attack has been woven in so carefully into the fabric of our society that it is nearly impossible to see unless one looks in the mirror. It is woven into our culture, attitudes, customs and everyday life in such a way that one participates in this deception many times without being aware.
Political arguments are twisted in a way that one doesn't deal with the issue hand but is tricked into a secondary conflict about the other persons race, gender or sexual persuasion. Suddenly, the man arguing with his neighbor over the loud music he is playing is now diverted from that issue to defending himself because that neighbor happens to be a minority.
Presently, it appears very difficult to battle this monster because it is so in bedded in our psyche and has been such a deep rooted part of people for the past 40 years.
We are being destroyed form the inside and we are fiddling. Can you say, "Goodbye America?"

W.VA. LAWMAKER WANTS TO BAN BARBIE DOLL

It's really hard to fathom how stupid politicians can be but time after time we get reminded. Every day examples of the idiocy come out in the news. Today's winner is a lawmaker by the name of Jeff Eldridge from West Virginia who has decided to focus his energy and resources on banning the Barbie Doll. Why you might ask? Well his reasoning revolves the "bad body image" created because so many young girls want to look like Barbie.
Suddenly, after 50 years the idiots of 2009 have decided we need to protect young from the evils of this doll. Really, what is wrong with a young girl wanting to look like Barbie? Fit, in shape and clean are evidently not worthwhile goals for today's young girls. I'm guessing this genius would be much happier with, fat, dirty and out of shape.This just shows you how far stupidity has come in to the forefront in this country. For generations this doll has been a favorite of young girls and has never hurt anyone. But in today's era of correctness, in the mind of this dolt, we must eliminate this threat to national security.
What will tomorrow's stupidity be? We'll have to wait and see.

WELCOME TO ME

Being that this is my first entry I thought I would welcome myself to the world of blogging. This blog is designed to be my outlet to comment about the events occurring in the country and to some degree, the world.  I must say up front I am neither a Republican nor a Democrat and in fact I am quite disgusted by all sides. I believe that there are many of you out there that feel the same way.
We are all sick of the crooked politicians and they way we do business in this country nowadays. Between the thieving and corrupt bankers and investors to the disgusting behavior of many politicians from the state to federal levels, it it easy to see why so many Americans are honked off.
My intent is to vent my frustration on this blog rather than in the streets--for now. I do think that is coming in the very near future. It's already happening in Europe and most certainly will spread here, it's just a matter of time. Hopefully, as I vent and identify things that tick me off, you will find some point of agreement and chime in as well. Perhaps this mutual venting will do us all some good while we are waiting for the country to implode.
