Memo to MSNBC: You ain't funny, not at all….

As someone who was born with, diagnosed at 5 years old, and suffered throughout my childhood with, Attention Deficit Disorder. I find this article by MSNBC about John McCain and this election most offensive. 😡

You don’t use a term like cancer, leukemia or anything else like that, in a mocking way such as this, so why do it with people who suffer from A.D.H.D. or A.D.D.?

I am not much into Political Correctness, but this is just a plain insult to people who suffer from a very real learning disability. I don’t just suffer from it, my whole damn family, on my father’s side has it.

I think some people should be forced to have their children suffer from A.D.H.D.,then maybe then they would fully understand the depth of the insult that has occurred here.

Of course, we Conservatives know that MSNBC is infamous for insulting people, races, ect…:

Oh Tweety…..

Chris Matthews, Does it….again.

Video:

I liked the old Media Matter music better, this new one is a bit, shall we say, stale?

The Quote:

MATTHEWS: Up next: They’re the working-class white voters Hillary Clinton won and Barack didn’t. Can Obama now win over the regular folks, white folks, against John McCain? We’ll ask the strategists. You’re watching Hardball.

Sometimes, I think he says stuff like that, intentionally, just to piss the liberals off.

I hate to say it, but I kind of view Matthews as the Bill O’Reilly of MSNBC. (Ha!)

What rubs me to no end, is how some of the morning people use their shows or airtime to push their little political agendas. Andrea Mitchell is a classic example. She loves to belittle the Democrats. Of course, seeing her hubby is Neo-Con Alan Greenspan, that should be no surprise.

Asking legitimate questions is one thing, editorializing disguised as questions, is another. Right Andrea? You Neo-Con slime ball.

Happy Birthday America!

IN CONGRESS, JULY 4, 1776

The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen United States of America

When in the Course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.”

[….}

We, therefore, the Representatives of the united States of America, in General Congress, Assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the Name, and by Authority of the good People of these Colonies, solemnly publish and declare, That these united Colonies are, and of Right ought to be Free and Independent States, that they are Absolved from all Allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political connection between them and the State of Great Britain, is and ought to be totally dissolved; and that as Free and Independent States, they have full Power to levy War, conclude Peace, contract Alliances, establish Commerce, and to do all other Acts and Things which Independent States may of right do. — And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes, and our sacred Honor.

It was on this day, 232 years ago. That men decided that freedom was the only way. This post is for them.

A few videos:

A video that tells the story of our National Anthem and how it came to be:

A singing of our National Anthem, that I think is the closest thing to Heavenly Angels singing that we’ll ever get here on Earth:

Another American Classic:

Another one, done, only the way, this man could do it:

Even John Wayne knows:

I posted this, not for some stupid political ploy, not to be clever, but to remind everyone, no matter what your political stripe or conviction or feeling, You are, We are, all Americans. This is our land, and we should, at least once a year, stop and reflect on our freedoms. The freedom to write, the freedom to Pray to whatever God we wish or the freedom to not pray, at all.  The freedom to agree, the freedom of dissent or to disagree, the freedom to assemble or simply the freedom to do nothing at all.

As Always, We remember our soldiers, especially those who have fallen:

One of my favorite songs:

Update: I could not remember the name of this song last night, I remembered the name this morning:

I cannot listen to this without tearing up… it’s tough, even for a guy:

God Bless the United States of America and God Bless and Keep our Soldiers.

A heart warming story and thoughts…

Check this one out, at Fox News:

Quote:

When Capt. Ivan Castro joined the Army, he set goals: to jump out of planes, kick in doors and lead soldiers into combat. He achieved them all. Then the mortar round landed five feet away, blasting away his sight.

“Once you’re blind, you have to set new goals,” Castro said.

He set them higher.

Not content with just staying in the Army, he is the only blind officer serving in the Special Forces — the small, elite units famed for dropping behind enemy lines on combat missions.

As executive officer of the 7th Special Forces Group’s headquarters company in Fort Bragg, Castro’s duties don’t directly involve combat, though they do have him taking part in just about everything that leads up to it.

“I am going to push the limits,” the 40-year-old said. “I don’t want to go to Fort Bragg and show up and sit in an office. I want to work every day and have a mission.”

You know, I hate to make this into a political cheap shot post. However, because I am a Political Blogger, and because it just pisses me off to no end that the idiot commie liberals, like John Aravosis who take it upon themselves to insult and degrade our United States Military officers on a regular basis. People like Keith Olbermann, who while some of his commentaries make good sense, especially those that pertain to George W. Bush, like to lash out in anger and tell those, who work in the pentagon, to ‘Go to Hell” for following orders by the President of the United States. Who is, in case people like Keith have forgotten, IS the commander and chief of our Military, right or wrong, he is still the boss, until his term is up.

I have to wonder aloud, which, if any of these outspoken critics of the war and of Bush, would be willing to strap on a Uniform and serve in our United States Military. I would be willing to be the fortunes of the galaxies abroad, that not one of these people would give their lives for this country. However, they can sit behind a desk, read a teleprompter, and criticize those who CHOOSE to serve their country.

I realize that I have quite a few new visitors to this Blog, and being that is the case, I will repeat something here, that I have been saying, since this Blog first came online. While I am a critic of the President of a myriad of issues, the idea that some blowhard Liberal Blogger or Liberal TV Host can use a medium, such as Television, to smear and slander someone like John McCain, is just very inexcusable. Yes Keith, I am talking about you. You will make sport of John McCain, a man, who has done more to serve his country than you will ever hope to do in a lifetime. John McCain, who spent six long years being tortured by the country of Vietnam, all because he disagrees with your very warped idea, that we can somehow just pacify these terrorists and that somehow or another, we can just wish our threats to national security away. Yet, on an issue like FISA, you will give Barack Obama a free pass and not chastise him with same fire and indignation that you did Hillary for making a stupid reference to Bobby Kennedy.

That is correct my friends, while I might agree with Keith, that the President of the United States has made some serious blunders as President, some that might continue to hurt this country for many years to come. I will never agree with Keith Olbermann’s idea that McCain is open season. John McCain is a Republican, a war hero and at best, he should respectfully disagree with him, but the only thing Keith Olbermann can do is make McCain look like some sort of a stooge. For that, his employment should be terminated.

It is because of this blatant callous disrespect for our Nation’s Military, both present and former, that I left the Liberal side of the Political fence. For the record and in the interest of full disclosure, I was what one would call, a “Conservative Democrat” or “Left of center.” However, after the actions of those who claim to be for Equality and Liberty, I decided I could never align myself with a party who chooses to disrespect, insult, and generally make sport of, our nations military servicemen for the sake of nelson rating.

This sort of Communist treachery is nothing short of the Anti-America treachery exercised against the United States of America by the Empire of Japan on December 7, 1941 at Pearl Harbor. This sort of thing I will not support, nor will I allow my Blog to associated with it. This is why I now call myself, what I tend to believe that I am, a Paleo-Conservative and Constitutionalist.

You know, I do not know what is worse…

The idiots at the New York Post, printing the untrue bullcrap about Keith Olbermann or that Hillary worshiping Shumuck Larry Johnson over at No Quarter for even Blogging about it. Of course, we all know now that Larry Johnson was the one who floated the rumor about the "Whitey" tape, but is still yet to release said tape.

You know, when Michelle Malkin says that you’re unreliable, that’s pretty freakin’ bad.

Oh, and by the way, Here’s Keith’s "Worst person in the World" from last night basically letting people know that the Post’s Page six is, as always, full of it.:

Keith Olbermann’s Worst Person in the World

The Bronze: John Bolton for saying that Sept 11’th was on Clinton’s Watch. (it wasn’t, it was on Bush’s watch…)

The Silver: Chris Wallace for saying that Bill O. and the other Opinion people over at Fox, do not handle election coverage, when they do. (duh!)

The Gold: The idiots over at The New York Post’s Page Six Dept. who are going to write idiotically untrue statement about Olbermann.

You know, I know, some of you are thinking, “What the hell are you posting these videos for?" For one, I like Olbermann’s show, because I happen to think that George W. Bush is the biggest flippin’  idiot President, that this Nation has EVER had, anyone that disagrees with that, mostly likely has their ass planted so far up George W. Bush’s ass, the G.O.P.’s ass, that they cannot see reality, or is just being willfully ignorant. (which is what 90% of Fox Noise’s viewers are….Willfully ignorant)

Keith Olbermann’s Worst Person in the World

Bronze: Rupert Murdoch for Firing Staff Members and then lying about it.

Silver: Tabloid Paper “The Sun” (Owned by Murdoch) for printing a lie about a soccer star and getting sued.

Gold: New York Post’s Page Six Crew consisting of Richard Johnson, Paula Froelich, Bill Hoffman, Corynne Steindler, Marianne Garvey, for printing a baldfaced lie about Keith Olbermann  and Chris Matthews fighting over replacing Tim Russert, ONE DAY after his funeral.

My Thoughts on Keith Olbermann

I am awake early today.  I went with my Father to Michigan International Speedway, in Brooklyn, Michigan yesterday for Father’s Day.  It was an enjoyable experience.  Except perhaps for the sore foot I earned, because I wore the wrong kind of shoes and I take medication for Attention Deficit Disorder, because of this, if I sit out in direct sunlight for long periods of time, I begin feeling sick to my stomach.  Other than that, I had a great time.  Dale Earnhardt Jr. won the race, I saw him on the big screen, which is possibly as close as I will ever come to meeting someone famous.  I was rooting for Tony Stewart myself, he finished in the top 5, I believe.  My Mother thinks Tony Stewart is cute; my Father was unavailable for comment.

Anyhow, I happen to come across this article about Keith Olbermann in the New Yorker.  As many of my readers know, I do post videos of Keith’s here on my Blog.  I have had people ask me, in various stages of vulgarity at times, as to why do I post his videos on my Blog.  The answer is simply this, Keith Olbermann and his special comments and with his Worst Person in the World segments, presents a sobering and realistic response to the propaganda being generated by the Neo-Conservative media machine at Fox News. 

I will not deny it, as a Conservative Constitutionalist and a Paleo-Conservative, I am most disgusted this Presidential Administration, There are numerous reasons for this, if I wrote about them all, this Blog entry would resemble a small novel.  I do not have time to write a novel, so I will simply say, pick an issue and it is one that I have with the President.

On another level, Keith is just simply a brilliant writer, some do say that his writings are projective, bombastic, and generally over the top.  This is his brilliant quality; he has the ability to write, in his own polished and magnificent style, what everyone else is thinking.  I think the reason why his detractors hate him so, is because he articulates so damn awesomely, and frankly, we as Americans are better for it.

Another reason that I heartily enjoy Keith’s show is because he is fair, there have been numerous times when Keith could have pounced, but, because Keith is a man of standards, whether forced by the network, or not, is telling about him.  A few examples, one is recently, when Ann Coulter’s charge card was denied, and many liberals were guffawing about it.  Keith simply said, “You know, it happens.”  Keith also then, quite humorously, proceeded to rib her, because the New York Post called Ann something rather humorous in the New York Post.

Another more telling example is the time when fiery Conservative Michelle Malkin was guest hosting Fox News show “The Factor” and some black guest essentially called Malkin a Conservative media whore.  Keith rushed the Malkin’s defense and essentially went “Whoa, Hold it!  Let’s all step back from the usage of the whore categorization, when it comes to women!”

I am sure that if Keith would have read some of the things that I have written in the past, he would handed me a good scolding. When I have, admittedly went over the top, with women.

In closing, let me just say this, Keith is our Ed Murrow, whether you loathe him and enjoy him, he is a force to be reckoned with and will continue to be, for many years to come.
