"The View" is obscurred by idiocy

“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; . . . .”

This is the first sentence of the First Amendment to the greatest political document ever written in the entire known history of mankind. (Now that I’ve got my sentiments and extra prepositional phrases out of the way . . . .) This IS the law. There is no national religion.

I refuse to watch “The View” and so I wasn’t when John McCain visited the set the other day. I listened to the audio clips on the radio, though. For the most part, I heard what I expected: idiots making comments based entirely from emotional reactions rather than intellignet consideratons. This is what we’ve come to expect from “The View” and I don’t believe that anyone ever comes away dissappointed. Was replacing Rosie with Whoopie really a change?

Let’s set aside, for a now, the part where Whoopie the moron asks, “Should I be worried about being a slave, about being returned to slavery because certain things happened in the Constitution that you had to change.” And also the part where Barbara Walters replies, “You and Sherri, we’ll take care of you. Us white folk will take care of you.” Am I the only one whose jaw dropped on this one? Are liberals really this dumb, I mean, do they really think this way? Have they ever read a history book or, perhaps, the United States Constitution? Hint: read the 13th Amendment. Again, I’d like to point out that Abraham Lincoln formed the Republican Party on the basis of the abolition of slavery BECAUSE the act of slavery ran contrary to the Constitution and the founding principles. Now, what party was (and in my opinion, still is) the party of slavery? And on which party’s candidate are all of those idiots on “The View” already sold?

Palin's Grit and the Democrats' Folly

It really is interesting how the dynamic of the presidential race has changed with the vice presidential selections. Barack Obama could have utterly sealed the deal by selecting Hillary as his number two. I’ve yet to meet anyone who disagrees. Instead, he chooses Joe Biden – a man who, because he is a genuine asshole, makes the Obama ticket look tougher, sure; but, also a man who could never upstage the Anointed One. Obama, who actually was losing momentum going into his convention, as the knight in the Indiana Jones movie would say, chose poorly. Historically speaking, the V.P. pick should really be aimed at the one person who won’t do the ticket any harm. Radio talk show host Michael Medved has talked in detail of a candidate’s responsibility in applying the Hippocratic Oath to the V.P. selection. Obama may have done his party no harm, but he didn’t boost the ticket either. Then again, Hillary’s followers still seem quite jilted over the snubbing.

McCain, on the other hand, really is making himself look the part of the political genius with every public appearance Palin makes. Has there ever been second fiddle to ever cause such a stir? I don’t think so. Sarah Palin, over the course of a weekend and a thirty minute speech – that she was forced to give off the cuff because her teleprompter malfunctioned – has united conservative and republican Americans under McCain’s banner. The accolades that I could pour out for Palin could go on for hours and I don’t care to take the time to do it. I will say, though, that the woman is perfect for the republican party. I have wanted Romney as the V.P. all along, but looking at America’s reaction, left and right, to Palin, I am so very pleased with McCain’s choice.
