Good Lord, what has America come to when the main headline is
NFL football player Ray Rice? It seems he knocked out his fiancé in a
casino elevator and got sacked by the Ravens and the NFL? If anyone is
surprised, they are deaf, dumb ….. and blind. He should have been
sacked. He should go to jail. This big brute's fist is virtually a
deadly weapon. He could have killed her. Rush Limbaugh spent almost
an hour on the antics of this savage gorilla that can't seem to control his
temper. The mainstream media and cable news are having a field day with
it. But the fiancé, Janay, now wife, if you can believe that, is sticking
up for the creep. Can it get any dumber than that? So much for
self-worth, intellect and intelligence. Janay sounds like an emotional
slave child. Rush calls them low-information voters. We call them
savage aborigines. And this is called news? It's news only in a
shallow, hollow and just plain stupid America.
Then there is the item about some Hollywood beauties that
photograph (or video taped) naked "selfies" and sexual antics of
themselves on their Iphones and uploaded them to Apple's Icloud. Then they
get all hot and bothered when these delicate tidbits of erotic, high-tech pixels
end up on the Internet for all to see. This is news? Are we supposed
to feel sorry for these rich, self-absorbed and spoiled nut cases?
Perhaps, in a shallow, hollow and just plain stupid America.
Now race is a "fun" game for shallow, hollow and just plain
stupid Americans, especially liberals. Liberals never let a good race riot
go to waste. If a black man is shot or beat up by a white cop or a white
man, or a half-white man, well that's a good excuse for other blacks to riot,
pillage, burn and loot totally innocent whites, businesses and private
homes. They think they are entitled to riot because of past sins against
them. Really! You never hear Asians complain, moan, or riot because of
what was done to them in early America, or even now. They just work hard
and prosper.
Race riots are also an excuse for black presidents, black
attorney generals and black race baiters, like Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson,
(or liberals of any stripe) to exploit the black-caused chaos for
political or monetary gain. Is it news when a black cop kills or beats up
a white man? Do whites riot because of it? Never! This can
only happen in a shallow, hollow and just plain stupid America.
(NOTE: We prefer to call blacks, blacks, because if they
are African-Americans then we would be an American-American and that of course
would be an oxymoron, if not wholly redundant. Why are blacks not just
Americans like the rest of us, or are they somehow special because of the color
of their skin? We ask you, name a race that hasn't been persecuted
sometime in history? Whites are being persecuted by their government right
now. They just don't know it.)
Then there are the brown skin illegal aliens flooding into
America from all over the planet, thinking they will find a free lunch,
salvation, or promote terror in the great and generous America. We're so
generous (at least our all-wise government is) that
we welcome them into America with open arms, forcing those here legally to pay
for the mostly ignorant, peasant lawbreakers. Unfortunately,
un-controlled, illegal immigration will have the same result of people drowning
in the cold waters of the ocean trying to get on a lifeboat crammed to the
gunnels with other people. They may not swamp our lifeboat right away, but
they certainly will seriously change the character of our country before they do
and deliver the rest of us into the bowels of socialism. It is abundantly
evident that America cannot absorb all the poor and peasants of the world. We
risk becoming just another Banana Republic if we do. We're well on our
way.
Now we're really going to get into trouble for this one.
So just consider it as the possibly distorted observations of an old man.
Then there are women (mostly under 45) who are obsessed with
their faces, their hair, their nails and toes, their shape, their clothes, their
shoes, perfumes and their jewelry. Of course, if they weren't, the entire
American economy would collapse overnight. ($426 Billion annually on beauty
products alone) Nevertheless, we are deeply concerned about what the
fashion industry does to young girls in their impressionable years. Slick,
sexually explicit, full-color advertisements, erotic TV shows and glamour
magazines cheapen women and have boxed them into that dangerous world of sex
objects. It is tantamount to robbing young girls of their innocence and
creating a false image of what it means to be a woman. Many women say they
want to be known for their minds but how are they to be known for their minds
when they hyper-accentuate their sexuality. No, we are not advocating
burkas for women. But, as it has been said many times, you never get a
second chance to make a first impression. Could all this be because too
many Americans have become shallow, hollow and just plain stupid?
No, we are not going to let men off the hook. Somehow, in
the blending of the sexes, many men are becoming more like women. To be a
strong, virile and demonstrative man who is truly male, forthright and in
control, has become unexplainably passé. We're not talking about a brute
like an NFL football thug, or a Neanderthal. We're talking about a strong,
intelligent and honorable man who can be gentle when being gentle is appropriate
and where his word is his bond.
Although we are aware that the issue is arbitrary, earrings,
necklaces and long hair are not necessarily the signs of a real man.
Perhaps if there were more true males in our midst who were honorable, confident
and proud of their manhood, we wouldn't have let a pussy-footing, slick-talking,
snake-oil con man, much less an over-aggressive, plump, demanding and scheming
woman, ever become president of the United States. No, we know "she" isn't
president yet. "She?" You know, Bill's loving and endearing wife who
gets her kicks out of exposing Right-Wing conspiracies against her faithful and
loyal husband. That millions of voters would hand the presidency to this
warped, overly ambitious woman of highly questionable character, can only be
explained by the fact that way too many Americans have become shallow, hollow
and just plain stupid.
Our impression of Obama, this girly half-black, half white
"man", is that he would be sorely tested if a bully came up and punched him in
the mouth, you know, like Putin. We can see him getting up off his feet,
(if he can even get up) rubbing his bloody lip with
the back of his sleeve and then asking a group of onlookers to become a
coalition of the willing to negotiate with the bully. We could only have
this vision because too many Americans have become shallow, hollow and just
plain stupid.
Oh, And let's not forget the kids totally absorbed in their
hand-held gadgets or video games, given everything they want and spoiled rotten
by parents who are shallow, hollow, or just plain stupid. Discipline,
responsibility and a true education ….. what are they? Prepare them for
life's experiences ….. what for? Values and morality ….. who cares?
No, not every parent is that way but way too many of them are.
Which brings us to Megan Kelly, the feisty Fox news anchor, who
found it necessary to interview two of the most well known radical men in our
country, Bill Ayers and Ward Churchill. To give them a national platform
to spew their vile, inflammatory and anti-American filth could only have been
done for shock value and TV ratings. Can this be anything else but
shallow, hollow and just plain stupid?
Meanwhile, ladies and gentlemen, as Americans wallow in their
trivia, infantile sports figures, mind-altering drugs and drool over scantily
dressed women, Russia's Putin is Hell bent on imitating Hitler; Iran will
probably get the nuke they have always wanted; Syria may start a third world
war; ISIS is rubbing our collective noses in the savage act of beheading
Americans while gobbling up more desert; Libya has fallen to the insurgents and
the Benghazi cover up is alive and well; China is looking to take over, by force
if necessary, some islands in the Western Pacific; Egypt is under the control of
a junta; Greece, Italy, Spain and probably France and England are broke; NATO is
a paper tiger; the European Union is a joke; our southern border is so porous
you could float a battleship through it; 47 million Americans are on food
stamps; America is over $17 Trillion in debt and heading for the shores of
oblivion; the president, motivated only by poll numbers, is golfing,
fund-raising and totally detached and doesn't care; the congress is so divided,
unity on anything is all but impossible; federal agencies like the IRS, the EPA
and the BLM are out of control and acting outside of the law and our kids are
being brainwashed in our public schools and colleges. On top of that the
whole planet is dancing to the whip of the Central Bankers. Sure there is more,
much more, but a normal, reasonable and prudent person cannot but help to see
that America is an avalanche in the making, if it hasn't already started
crashing down the slope. Oh, but who is the man in charge of our
perilously listing ship of state ….. a lily-livered, fast-talking community
(communist) organizer with virtually no executive and leadership
experience? Could it be because way too many Americans have become
shallow, hollow and just plain stupid?
No, not every American is shallow, hollow and just plain
stupid, but unfortunately at least half the country is, leaving the other half
responsible for saving America's future from the growing hordes of freeloaders,
dolts and illegal aliens. Most of the rest of the world is hoping the
responsible half will finally take control of the great engine of freedom that
is America and set the world straight. But lack of strong leadership, a
failed ideology and an abundance of corruption, apathy, fear, political
correctness, radical environmentalism, social justice, stupid sports figures,
drugs, scantily clad women and wimpy men, stand between the salvation of America
and its ultimate destruction.
Let's see now. It's quite possible we have succeeded in
insulting just about everyone in America in an un-censored "splash" of
un-political correctness. But we make no apologies. Unless other
authors start saying it straight, as we have done here, no one is going to get
it and there is no silver bullet and no leader or soldiers that can put
America's train back on the tracks. Those are the facts today, unless the
strong-hearted, fearless and courageous American spirit that we know still
exists, rises to the occasion, shoves the do-nothing, corrupt and contemptuous
leaders aside and takes control of the "wheel" in an act of relentless
mutiny. If we do not resist low-level and high-level tyranny on a grand
scale, it will overwhelm us and right now it is.
Ladies and gentlemen, this war of tyranny in which we are now
embroiled, won't be won by wimpy men with rings in their ears, sport-figure
aborigines, illegal aliens, whiners, freeloaders, druggies, or scantily clad
women.
They will just be in the way because they are shallow, hollow
and most are just plain stupid.
There are tens of millions of fine, decent people in
America. Hopefully, one day, these fine and decent people will stand up
and right the egregious wrongs that have been inflicted upon their beloved
country.
