Screw the Kennedys

Sargent Shriver died.  Good riddance.

The last Kennedy is now out of congress.  Will we NEVER stop having these people foisted upon us by the national media?  The only people who regard them as "American Royalty" are a small clique of beltway media types.

The rest of us see the Kennedys for what they are....a bunch of overrated, hypocritical, unaccomplished purveyors of PC nonsense who have no intention of living by the rules they want to set for the rest of us.

Screw the Kennedys.

Keith Olbermann Complicit in Shooting of Congresswoman Giffords

What would you do if you knew - actually KNEW - the identity of the worlds' worst person?

Imagine, in a world containing countless mass-murderers, child rapists, and sadistic freaks, just how bad a person would have to be to be the Worst Person In The World.  Whoever that would be, surely you would be doing the world a favor by ridding it of such a person.  Surely the Worst Person In The World should be stopped before he does horrible harm to countless others.

If you call someone The Worst Person In The World, you might as well be putting out a contract on him to those who believe you and aren't well-adjusted.  Yet the despicable Keith Olbermann wades through the sewage of his television show every evening to call someone just that.  Not content to name just one "Worst Person," he actually names three, putting out three contacts per evening.

I hereby call on MSNBC to fire Olbermann immediately for his complicity in the Arizona shootings.

UPDATE - "Bulle Eye" Targeting Giffords Appeared On Daily Kos in June 2008!!

More evidence of Daily Kos' culpability in creating the environment resulting in Giffords' shooting.

Time for Kos founder Markos Moulitsas to take the following steps IMMEDIATELY:

1. Apologize for the part he and his web site have created in fostering an environment of hate-filled political invective;
2. Pledge to do a better job of keeping anti-conservative hate speech off the Daily Kos;
3. Make a sizeable contribution toward a charity for victims of hate/bias crimes

Hate Rhetoric from likes of Daily Kos and Keith Olbermann responsible for shooting?

There can be no doubt about it.  Hateful sites like the Daily Kos and hateful commentators like Keith Olbermann  have coarsened discourse in our country so badly that now government officials are in danger.

Here is the hateful posting on Daily Kos that may well be responsible for the shooting of Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords.

DailyKos traffics in this type of stuff on a daily basis.

And this isn't new for the left, either.  George Bush was routinely hung in effigy and compared to Hitler.  I hereby call on responsible leftists to take responsibility for the tone they have created in this country.  Step up, lefties!  RESTORE CIVILITY!

The Racial Indifference Manifesto: The Greatness of Apathy

America has a troubled history as concerns race.  Many of our states permitted slavery, and even a century after it had been outlawed blacks were badly treated.  Lynchings and thousands of  lesser indignities santioned by government officials either explicitly or, by inaction, implicitly, were the normal course of affairs.

It was terrible and inexcusable.  For what it's worth, like practically every American, I wish it had never happened.

Partially because of this history and partially because it is in the pecuniary interest of a gaggle of victimology peddlers, we are now regularly subjected to the notion that racism is America's Original Sin.  That irrespective of the strides we've made, we're destined to wallow in guilt caused by the inevitable artifacts of our past. 

We're told that the most innocuous utterances are in fact racially tinged "Codewords."   "Codeword" has become codeword for "imagined affront."

"Everything in America is about race, we're told," and we can't deny it.

Well I hereby deny it.

-----

I hereby utter my last apology, accept my last condescending assertion that I "just don't get it," and feel my last scintilla of a whiff of a pang of guilt.  From this day forward, when it comes to Race in America.......

I WON'T CARE.

Wherever there's a hypersenstive grievance hustler hearing codewords for racial invective where it doesn't exist...I WON'T CARE.

Wherever there's a professional offense-taker taking offense at a joke that he deems racially insensitive...I WON'T CARE.

Wherever there's a dimwitted government bureaucrat who doesn't understand that "niggardly" isn't a racial slur...I WON'T CARE.

I WON'T CARE when some Hollywood simpleton, unable to distinguish between legal and illegal immigrants, says those who oppose the latter must all be racists.

I WON'T CARE about cliche-mongering race-baiters discounting achievements by prattling about "white privilege" or "institutional racism."

And when the entire cadre of corrupt, conniving conmen whose livelihoods depend upon keeping minorities convinced of their perpetual victimhood have to get honest jobs for the first times in their wretched, useless lives?  I WON'T CARE.

But I may have trouble stifling a chuckle.

Dave Barry's 2010 in Review

As usually, extremely funny.  An excerpt:

APRIL

In domestic news, Arizona passes a controversial new law designed to crack down on illegal immigrants; this draws a sharp rebuke from the Mexican government, currently headquartered in Tucson.

President Obama outlines his bold vision for the U.S. space program, calling for a manned mission to establish comprehensive health-care reform on Mars by 2030. The president also signs a historic arms-reduction treaty with Russian President Dmitry Medvedev under which both countries will destroy one-third of their older nuclear missiles by upgrading them to Windows Vista. In a related development, Iran purchases $78 million worth of used nuclear-missile parts on Craigslist.

Speaking of growing menaces, in...

MAY

 ...the pesky Deepwater Horizon oil spill dominates the news as BP tries a series of increasingly desperate measures to plug the leak, including, at one point, a 167,000-pound wad of pre-chewed Juicy Fruit. President Obama, eager to show that he is on top of the situation, develops severe forehead cramps from standing on the shore and frowning with concern at the water. Meanwhile, Congress holds televised hearings that establish, beyond any reasonable doubt, that Congress is very upset about, and totally opposed to, large oil spills. Despite these heroic efforts, the leak continues to grow, and by the end of the month is threatening suburban Des Moines.

On the terror front, New York City police, alerted by Times Square street vendors, discover a smoking SUV packed with explosives — a violation of many city ordinances, including the ban on smoking. Fortunately, the car bomb is disarmed, and a suspect is later captured at Kennedy Airport by sharp-eyed TSA officers trained to spot suspicious behavior.

Ha ha! Just kidding, of course. The suspect is captured by U.S. Customs agents at the last minute after boarding a Dubai-bound plane filled with passengers who, like the suspect, had all been carefully screened by the TSA to make sure they were not carrying more than three ounces of shampoo.

In other air-travel news, the boards of directors of United and Continental approve a merger that will create one of the world’s largest airlines, with a combined total of 700 planes, 88,000 employees, and nearly two dozen packets of peanuts.
