Self-hating Americans

After hearing about this, I thought to myself; When, if ever, is it inappropriate to display an American flag? I have pondered it, and I have failed to come up with a scenario where I think it could be offensive, or disorderly. I suppose the sub-human scum down in Gitmo may take offense to the flying of Old Glory, and it may be an unwelcome sight in some Afghani caves, but how the hell do American citizens find it distasteful?
The most outrageous part of the story is that the ACLU defends the supervisor saying, when at work, your boss owns you. Imagine if the supervisor had told an employee to cut their dreadlocks, or take down a Hispanic heritage themed item, or remove a rainbow sticker, you know the ACLU would turn that fight into a championship title bout!
So if this guy can't fly his flag, I'll fly one for him, and I'll be flying my middle finger at self hating Americans while I'm at it!

Freedom of the press

http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20081126/tv_nm/us_fairness;_ylt=Ah3VefQiSZqFbp_3lBJTuyFxFb8C

Amendment I

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.

Aside from the "fairness" doctrine being violently unconstitutional, it is also uneconomical. There are 2 reasons conservatives vastly outnumber progressives/liberals on talk radio. Number 1 is entertainment. People like Sean Hannity and Jay Severin are entertaining. Agree or disagree with their ideas, politics, values, or whatever, but they are in the entertainment business, and their business is good. Reason number 2 is profitability. Radio stations exist for the same reason as construction companys, banks, gas stations, etc. They are there to make $$$$$$$$$!!! Conservatives who are inclined to listen to talk radio tend to do so during their commute to or from work. While at work they earn income, which in turn gives them money, money that they may choose to spend at a business, a business that may pay a radio station with a top rated show that targets their demographic, a demographic that works, and spends. See where I'm going here? The reason there aren't more left of center radio programs (while on TV the roles reverse) is because they don't make money. Businesses don't buy ad space on shows that are not being heard by people that can or will patronize them. Businesses that cater to low or non earning citizens (you know, businesses like ambulance chasing scum bag attornies!) find their target demographic on television, because those who would patronize them are at home, on the couch, watching the tube.

Left wing radio doesn't work. See Air America. If there is such a thing as justice, may Nancy Pelosi, Barbara Boxer, and Chuck Schumer all be tarred and feathered for their attack against liberty!

Activists or Assholes?

Let me preface this with... I am not against gay marriage. I don't see any reason to ban it. It just doesn't make a difference in my family's life. Don't get me wrong, I'm not about to march on Salt Lake City, or protest the local Sister's of Mercy in outrage over California's Proposition 8, but if I had to vote on it, I'd say live and let live, do what makes you happy.

That said, this class action lawsuit in New Jersey, and now in California, is absolute HORSE SHEEEITE! They sued Eharmony for not having a gay section, and now Eharmony must of course pay out some cash, and set up a gay site. Whatever happened to common sense. Why can't a company single out the type of people they want to serve and serve them. This is like me suing the local Ford dealership because they won't sell me a Mazda, when there are 5 Mazda dealerships within driving range. Now I'll admit I have not researched it, but I'm willing to bet a paycheck or two that there are plenty of websites out there that cater to helping gay people find a relationship. This is obviously a case of an ambulance chasing dirtbag attorney looking to make a score, regardless of how it affects his or her client.

In the end, I am inclined to believe this hurts, rather than helps, the gay communities' cause. This is just the type of stuff that causes social conservatives to say "see, they gays won't stop until they have force fed their agenda into everyone's life". What is next, suing department stores for not selling gay enough clothing, or insisting on a gay quota of workers or student admissions?

Right is right and wrong is wrong, and this lawsuit is just plain wrong!

A Little Q & A

Question- When the CEO of GM made 14 million last year (and the company lost almost 40 Billion), and Ford's CEO made 20, why the the hell are we even considering bailing these losers out?
Answer- Because that is the precedent we have set! As tax payers, we love to bend over and say "thank you sir, may I have another".

Question- Why is it that the whores that call themselves journalists, after several months of telling us how utterly unqualified Governor Palin was for VICE President, are now trying to convince us she is the lock for the GOP nomination in 2012?
Answer- The whores want another weak opponent. I mean, Senator McCain was the media darling while up against Rudy, Mitt, and Mike. Then came the general election and all of a sudden he is George Bush the 3rd. Only the producers of SNL would be happier than the mainstream media douche bags would be with Obama vs. Palin in 4 years.

Question- Why is a President-elect Obama who is supposedly going to "change" Washington filling his cabinet with Clinton era Washington insiders?
Answer- Even he must know that Hillary (even though she is Satan) would have been a better choice.

Question- How do CEOs like Citigroup's Vikram Pandit lay off over 50,000 people, and not forgo their own year end bonuses.
Answer- I have no F'n idea! When I figure out how to cause my company to lose BILLIONS and be rewarded with multi-million dollar paychecks, I'll be sure to share the secret!
