I like to watch news. I watch at least two news channels at any given time, thanks to Picture-In-A-Picture (PIP). Saturdays are my mornings to yell at the screen. Most people think the political shows, on Sundays, are the ones where we all spout off and get disgusted. For me, it's Saturday.
Saturday morning TV on the news is "Finances and You" time. This is when capitalists should reign, and yet, don't be surprised, depending on the ideological compass of the station you watch, it isn't. I will not point out any particular news or media outlet in this post. If I do, anyone who disagrees will be sure to post at least 7 reasons why the station they prefer is the best and I prefer not to win The Special Olympics.
On Saturdays I watch the usual news outlets and the financial stations. It keeps my remote fingers working, but that's what station breaks are for, right?
Ever since the "Health Care Reform"/"Health Insurance Reform"/"Whatever We Can Get The Public To Swallow This Week"/"Nancy Pelosi's Further Decline Into Denial and Dementia" came about, the finance shows are the BEST to watch to gauge public support or disgust. Face the Nation? Meet the Press? Pansies compared to the unadulterated carnage that is the financial market. On one side you have the academics in their Ivory Towers crying like the Emo Britney Spears boy "Just leave socialism alone! It can TOO work!" to the staunch realists who actually work for a living who are hell bent on ignoring their whining.
The reason I prefer to glean my news from the financial shows is that they connect the dots. They know that if you effect change in one market, it can and WILL effect the other markets. Now, for all of you out there who have just plugged your fingers into your ears and are turning circles while screaming LA LA LA LA LA at the top of your voice, you tree-hugger types love the "circle of life" agenda. Well, sweet pea, it really is. You cannot eat your cake and have it too, so listen up, punkin. The fall of the housing market is what crashed ALL the markets because it is inextricably entwined with every other market out there. Even more entwined than a hippie love-fest where everyone hums Michael Row The Boat Ashore. An aside here, how do you folks manage to say hallelujah without choking on it? I mean, it is basically a holy word, right? Just checking the waters, ya know.
I love hearing about the abject failure of Cash for Clunkers, and hear Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid cry on the Hill that the Gubmint just needs to handle our whole lives because of it. Folks, you retards couldn't handle feeding my dog, much less "universal health care". Damn, I firmly expect GM to be gone in 3 years because you idiots will run it into the ground because you know fuck all about running anything but a coffee klatch on the South side of Chicago. You and your cronies may leave now.
Cronyism is never a good basis for government, which explains the abject failure of appointees and "Czars" within the current administration. Just because there is a spot to fill does not mean that you fill it with anyone. If you can't do your own taxes properly, then I will not expect you to head up the tax department. Just because I have a friend without a job, does not mean that I can just "create" a job for him and make this person the head of something I've just made up. Where is the oversight? There is no vetting, no advise and consent. Damn, Obama, Our government is not a place for you to place every college buddy and political favor you owe something to. If you think that your need for something should immediately and automagically be filled by the government, please, go die in a fire. You are a Darwin Award nominee.
If you think that taxing me to death so that some buddy of yours can somehow justify his useless existence by you giving him a job with that money? I've got a shotgun I'd like you to meet the business end of. Any politician who tells you that you MUST sacrifice your abilities, talents, earnings, etc., so that some shiftless, useless piece of shit can sit on their ass and watch Springer all day, shoot them immediately in their useless heads. You will not be harming anything they use.
Anyone who tells you that you must sacrifice your happiness for the happiness is the most obscene human being on the earth and should be shot as soon they are identified. If they complain, tell them that harming them made you happy, and after all, isn't that what their philosophy is all about? Trust me, they won't get it.
Folks, come on, get a clue here. Take a look at their ideals, what they espouse and how they expect to get it done. THINK about it. Follow the line, no matter how disgusting or perverse it may appear, to it's LOGICAL end. It only leads to unhappiness, misery and mediocrity. They say they just want everyone to be happy. Uh, yeah ya do, there Mrs. Pelosi. Right. What you want is people coming to you, on their knees, begging you for the lowest of alms. You get off on the thought of being on high, on your liberal elitist throne dispensing the most meager of pittances to the people beneath you that you won't even deign to look in the eye. Because you cannot. You cannot look me in the eye and tell me that you have my "best interest" at heart, because you don't. You wish to enslave those with ability to work for you so that you can slowly destroy that ability, because you hate it. You hate it because you have none of your own. You have nothing more than political office in which you are misrepresenting your constituency to a criminal degree.
Connect the dots all the way down the line. Yell at the pundits on TV, and keep yelling all the way down to the end of the line and see what the end of that line is. What you see is not edifying, not glorifying of anything. It celebrates the status quo, mediocrity and begging for alms. They want all of us on our knees begging them for every breath we take.
I think that's worth yelling about.
