Planet Absurdity, Politics
No Comments In for a rockier four years
My lack of posting lately I contribute to a couple things…(1) I’ve actually been kinda busy(2) I’ve been struck without words over the blatent stupidity of most people.Let me explain..you may sense where this is going because if you are familiar with my rants, I cannot speak of dumb people without bringing politics into the subject. So I will start with a couple of dumb people…namely the women on The View.On the surface, they may seem to know where and what they speak of. The likes of Barbara Walters, Whoopi Goldberg and Joy Bahar have a talent for biting rhetoric and wit (well, maybe not Barbara Walters…I wouldn’t call her witty). These people seem to feel strongly about the state of the world and believe that the answer to all of our problems lie within the brain that sits between the vulcan ears of man we will likely soon call President Obama. Whoopi has said some pretty idiotic stuff lately - asking John McCain if she should worry about slavery if he becomes president. That ranks right up there with Matt Damon wondering if Sarah Palin thinks dinosaurs roamed the earth 4000 years ago. It’s looney. It’s I can’t believe that just fell out their face STUPID!Fox News is reporting a new feud among the View’s women and it’s of course, between Elizabeth Hasselbeck and Joy Bahar. I give props for Hasselbeck sticking with her day job because you’ve gotta have a backbone of titanium to hang out with the other hosts of that show. She is the only conservative in the group of 5 women – far outnumbered and should the Fairness Doctrine really come back, we’ll have to start a campaign to insist that they throw Bahar out on her butt and bring in Ann Coulter to even things up a little. In watching the bantering back and forth between Bahar and anyone who disagrees with her, my assessment is this… she is a bitter hag who can dish it but not take it. There must be some deep rooted angst her her past or some sort of trauma that gets her to behave the way that she does. Because saying what she says and how she says it doesn’t make her smart. It just makes her mean. She’s precisely the type of person that I would counsel my daughter to stay away from. Because it’s true what they say, with friends like that, who needs enemies?So the beat of the liberal drum seems to be getting louder. We have a week left until D-Day and I am eager for it to be over. I am not looking forward to the upcoming administration for a variety of reasons but mainly because I can see the liberties we have in this great country slipping away. My reaction isn’t unique. I am not the only one saying these things but it’s not resonating. There is a whole population out there who believes they’re entitled – that they deserve something for nothing. And I can guarantee that they will get NOTHING. Spreading the wealth doesn’t mean that Barack Obama will be Robin Hood. He’s not going to take from the rich and GIVE it to the poor. No. He intends to rob the successful and those he deems not worthy of their bounty and bring them down to a level that equals the have nots. And guess what, the have nots will STILL be without! He promote ideas and policies that in the name of justice and equality will put the management of our lives in the hands of the government and eliminate our free will.So, what is one to do? The people on TV say we’re going to elect this guy. Many of us realize what’s at stake and feel powerless to stop it. The key is to not fall prey to their promises. It’s called minding our P’s and Q’s because the day will come that someone will have to pick up the pieces and it will be the people who can remember how to do it on their own that will be called upon to do it. Geez…it’s been a rough year already…I’m not looking forward to the next four…
