Beware the Pompous Noble

The past few days, I have heard political pundits on the conservative-agenda Fox News and the liberal sympathizing MSNBC station state with equal pretentious and synthetic pleading-commentary for both Presidential camps to conduct a more dignified campaign; stop the nasty/dirty politics is their dishonest petition. Please! I have paid attention with more than a passing interest for some time and if I 'know anything,' I have a grip on the unquestionable fact that these political (television) spin-doctors of hatred, i. e., Bill O'Reilly, Sean Hannity and Ed Schultz are front-running contributors to a disunited Nation that yields a dysfunctional 'do nothing Congress.' The vulgar audacity of these phony self-promoting patriots to posture on some moral 'high road' is insulting to any average-intellectual person other than perhaps a Chicago Cubs fan. They dare point a finger at the campaigns suggesting those folks need to 'clean-up' the rhetoric when these loathsome devils drive civil discourse off the cliff every night on their respective television shows. Moreover, these self-righteous fools go so far as to suggest that the American public DESERVES better; no it doesn't!

I would take issue with the sanctimonious attitudes of the political spin-doctors and encourage them to read John 8:7, "he who is without sin cast the first stone." Secondly, the notion that the American public deserves better is hogwash-poppycock! Oh, indeed our children deserve better adult models of kindness and civil behavior but the American general public gets exactly what it thirst for every time. We are a people that love violence and confrontation. How else would we explain our insatiable appetites for 'reality television,' Ultimate Fighting, Pro-Wrestling, shoot'em up & blow'em up movies and video games; we like it like that! If we have a free moment, we will chase an ambulance.

This 2012, Presidential campaign nastiness is old hat for the 'land of the free and home of the brave.' It is par for our beloved Country, which pontificates 'roots' in Judea-Christian principles. May I remind you of our Presidential campaigning history? 1836...Congressman Davy Crockett accuses candidate Martin Van Buren of secretly wearing women's clothing: "He is laced up in a corset." 1864...Candidate George McClellan describes his opponent, Abraham Lincoln, as  "a well-meaning baboon." 1960...former President Harry S. Truman advises voters that "if you vote for Richard M. Nixon, you ought to go to hell."

Please! Spare me the hypocritical commentary. In our free Nation, we all have a right to free speech, carry a loaded gun and be a fool. God Bless America!
