Just in case they don't I suggest T Shirts for all McCain supporters: Front and Back: "Joe Biden: 'Roosevelt got on television.' And he's their experienced guy."
. Check back often, as it will soon be updated with Biden's next attack of foot-in-mouth disease.
If Sarah Palin had said FDR showed leadership by addressing the nation on television after the stock market crash in 1929, the media would be in high dungeon. Members of the press and the opposition party would point out that her gaffe was prima facie evidence that she is too inexperienced to be Veep. If John McCain had uttered that gem, proof positive that he was too old.
Because Joe Biden misspoke, however, not a peep. Surely Senator Biden knows Herbert Hoover was president in '29 and that television was still a decade or more in the future. But the media ignores his gaffes, and Obama's. Let Obama make a gaffe on national television by mentioning his Muslim religion, and Little Skippy Newsboy nearly swallows his tongue. "Oh great Messiah, don't you mean your Christian religion?"
The social and political elites around the world have succumbed to PDS. The spectacle reminds me of Mel Brooks playing King Louis in History of the World, Part I.
"Sire, the peasants are revolting!"
"Yes, I know."
"No, Sire, I mean they're rebelling."
The hatred for Palin, and for the people in flyover country, the people who make this nation prosper, has become utterly ridiculous. One half of this electorate seems to be made up of the Woodstock Nation, hippies who turned in their threads for suits, cut their hair, but remain perpetual adolescents. What passed for humor then remains side-splittingly funny to these middle-aged children. "Your mother (fill in the blank)".
John Lennon, in his song Working Class Hero, said of these idiots, "You think you're so clever and classless and free, but you're still (expletive) peasants as far as I can see."
I would like to remind such fools as Sarah Bernhard, Woody Allen, Matt Damon, Pamela Anderson, Al Franken, and far too many others to include here, that Karl Marx had something completely different in mind when he envisioned a classless society.
The lunatic Left has no class. Everything in society must be reduced to the lowest common denominator. Art becomes pornography. Romance becomes sex. Parenthood merely means increasing one's circle of friends.
In one sense, these leftist adolescents could almost be pitied. As the nation collectively turns their backs on them, as even the New York Times flounders over the loss of advertisers and readers, as shows like the Emmys suffer the lowest ratings in history, the idiots only get louder and angrier.
Talk about biting the hands that fed them all these years. Like ungrateful children who curse their parents then accuse Mummy and Daddy of being mean because they won't send the next monthly stipend.
Either we adults, we the people, we who drive the economic engine the world envies, either we wrest control from the fringe Left, either we slap the faces of all the Little Skippy Newsboys out there who mock us…
All I can do is sigh at the consequences. Not sure I want to live in the Village of the Damned.
Think of all the blood, sweat, and tears shed to make this the greatest nation ever, and to keep it free from all enemies, foreign and domestic. Will we rational, hardworking American adults allow the irrational, excuse-making, blame-shifting juvenile delinquents to destroy what so many died to defend?
We have to forget partisan politics this year. We have to forget what party our grandparents belonged to. The divide in America is between grownups and middle-age nitwits who've resisted adulthood for thirty years. It's time for some tough love. I, for one, can't wait for the temper tantrums on the Left to begin.
That's assuming there are enough adults left to force the kiddies to mind us.
