 EAT THE RICH --- AT LEAST THEY HAVE FOOD VALUE
Oh boy ... did I strike a nerve this time! That's a good
thing. I'm in the business of striking nerves. To give you a hint of
how some people were feeling about me this weekend ... I'll just print a few
emails here. These were some of the nicer emails we received: | I just noticed
something - if you look up "bourgeois capitalist pig" in the dictionary,
there's your picture! And no, you didn't "gotta say it". Moron. | | My only hope is
that you lose your job so you are on the street peddling pencils...the
sooner, the better. | | .....I am done
with you....fool! | | Bush
voting-stupid diseased-mouth sack of dog vomit Neil (sic) produces nothing
useful, is of no benefit to society, and should be rendered into soylent
green for the homeless animals. | | I got a
suggestion for you big guy. Let's dump you into the middle of the ghetto
with no father, no money and a rat infested, heatless home. No contact
with your elite pals, no favors to call in from your fat cat buddies. You
have no education, no contacts, and no hotshot Internet site to spout your
rhetoric. You can't see well because you don't have the money to buy
eye-glasses, you don't have money to buy a nice suit of clothes. Your car
barely runs and you can't afford to fix it. I would love to see you pull
your white ass up by your bootstraps (which you can't afford). Bootz, when
assholes get together they call you boss. | | Amazing now if
you were poor what would you say save the poor first ? So then after you
save all the rich what then ? Who will cut the grass ? Who will cook the
food ? Who will wash the clothing ? Sell the clothes, make the cars,
patrol the streets, clean the streets, etc., Sure save them all and let
the poor all die it will be worth it to see blowhards and braggarts like
you doing for themselves. This country is going to hell because of people
like you. By the way lets hope the country isn't invaded while the rich
run it, Louie Vuiton and Bentley automobiles cant protect the precious
rich. | | A very sick
concept from a very sick man. |
OK ... those are just a few that Web Guy forwarded
to me over the weekend. There must have been quite a few more.
Ohhhhh .... The Talkmaster was feeling the love this weekend! So .. what caused all of this fun? Me, of course!
Something I said on the show last Friday. I read that story about some
well-connected New Yorkers getting the warning of a possible terrorist attack on
the NYC subways. Apparently this was a bad thing. How dare some
people in the know tell any of their friends of a possible terrorist attack
before everybody knows! Side note. If, somehow, I learn that there is going
to be a terrorist attack and that my family or people that I love are in harms
way, you can bet your last dollar that I am going to get word to my family so
that they can skedaddle before a public announcement is made. OK .. back to my hideous, horrible, offensive, intemperate
and insensitive statement. "But if we are faced with a
disaster in this country, which group do we want to save? The rich or the
poor? Now, if you have time, save as many people as you can. But if you have
to set some priorities, where do you go? The rich or the poor? OK? Who is a
drag on society? The rich or the poor? Who provide the jobs out there? The
rich or the poor? Who fuels -- you know, which group fuels our economy? Drives
industry? The rich or the poor? ".... Now if you -- all of a sudden, somebody walks up
to you and says, "Hey, Boortz listener. You're gonna have a -- you have to
make a choice. You're going to -- we're gonna move you to another country. And
you're just gonna have to make your way in this other country. We have a
choice of two countries for you. In this country, people achieve a lot and
they are wealthy because of their hard work. In this country, people don't
achieve squat. They sit around all the time waiting for somebody else to take
care of them. They have children they can't afford. They're uneducated. They
can barely read. And the high point of their day is Entertainment Tonight
on TV. Which country do you want to live in? The country of the high
achievers, or the country of sheep, the country of followers?" You know what
you're gonna do. I don't see what the big problem is. I just don't. I mean, if
you -- who do I want to save first? The rich. Save the poor first.
Then, when everything's over, where are you gonna go for a job? OK, hey, if I
get a tin cup, can I sit next to you and sell pencils too?
OK ... now you can see where those emails came from.
I actually crossed the bounds of political correctness and stated the obvious,
that the achievers contribute more to this country than the non-achievers; that
given a choice, most people would chose to live with those who achieve rather
than those who sit around waiting to be taken care of.
This statement crossed one of the most inviolable lines of
political correctness .. the idea that some people are more valuable to our
culture and society than others. The same leftist crowd that brought
us multiculturalism -- the idea that no one culture is better than any other
culture -- seek to extend that absurdity to the individual. The idea is
that in the long-run all of the work that one individual might put into becoming
a successful and valued member of society means nothing. The individual
who is responsible for the employment, and thus the livelihood, of 250 people is
no "better" than the individual who has dedicated their life to ignoring
education and the development of job skills and is content to live their life as
a ward of the state in some welfare housing complex. My statement last Friday can be best understood if you
narrow it down to a simple situation involving two individuals. There's
been a disaster of some type ... let's say a crash. Two people are
involved. Neither is a friend, but you know who both people are, and what
role they play in your local society. In our imaginary scenario you
only have time to save one person. One --- that's it. The other will
die. We'll make them both black so that we can remove the racial element
from this. They're also the same age. Now, one of the people
involved in the crash is a local businessman. His business employs 50
people. If he dies the business dies with him, and those 50 people will be
out of a job. The other person is well known in the community. He
has never worked a steady job in his life. He has been content to spend
his time living off the taxpayers in the local welfare housing project.
Every once in a while he will work for a few days or two to earn some extra cash
... only to spend that cash on booze, drugs or some lottery tickets.
So ... who do you save! All other things being
equal, which one are you going to save? Don't give me that nonsense about
"I would save the one in the most peril", or "I would save the one nearest to
where I stand." I said "all other things being equal." No fudging.
Which one would you save? Point made. So ... were all of the comments negative? Well, I
don't know. Web Guy did forward one message to me of a positive nature.
Perhaps he was feeling sorry for me. So ... we'll close with that one. | I enjoyed your comments and
truth regarding who to save, rich or poor. I agree that the rich, or at
the least financially educated, are the better choice in all
circumstances.
I would like to add, to further strengthen this argument, it has been
proven time and time again that this decision would not have to be made or
even offered to either class in the event of a catastrophic event. When
inevitable danger is forthcoming, to save the poor and uneducated, a
tremendous amount of effort would be necessary to get that class of people
to even heed warnings. And, unfortunately, much of that effort would be
wasted as many of the poor and uneducated classes would either simply not
listen or get Jesse Jackson and the Rev. Al Sharpton to come to their aid
and claim some form of twisted racism or discrimination for either 1)
trying to force the poor from their homes prior to an event that may or
may not impact them or 2) leaving the poor to die in the disaster despite
tremendous pre-event efforts. (i.e. New Orleans) In contrast, the educated are able to evaluate the impending danger and
make their own decision to take care of themselves and their own. The rich and educated are the better choice to save in the event of a
disaster simply due to the fact that they are able to exhibit critical
thinking and evaluate a situation, respond to it and obtain a favorable
outcome. And those would be characteristics needed to 'rebuild' society in
the event of a catastrophic event. |
MORE TROUBLE FOR BUSH? Look for Karl Rove to be indicted. Oh the joy that
will be felt by leftists everywhere. The indictment will be for
obstruction of justice, the very same thing that Hillary Clinton should have
been charged with when she hid those Rose Law Firm billing records from
investigators for two years ... you know, the billing records that showed her
complicity in a scheme to bilk taxpayers. GOVERNMENT EDUCATION AT ITS FINEST
You may have heard about
the race riots that broke out in Toledo, Ohio over the weekend. Essentially,
what happened breaks down like this: some knuckle-dragging white supremacists
decided to march through a racially mixed neighborhood. Protesters confronted
the marching Nazis at a park, and it was on.
An angry mob, including
some gang members, decided that the prudent thing to do was start rioting. They
threw large rocks at police, set fire to a business and vandalized vehicles and
stores. Over 100 people were arrested. But the most ridiculous aspect to this
story is what some of the defenders of the thugs who rioted are saying.
Residents are upset that
city leaders "allowed" the neo-Nazis to march. The Mayor of Toledo correctly
pointed out that
they do have the right to walk on the sidewalks just like
anybody else. This comes from a simple understanding of the First Amendment.
You know, freedom of speech and all that.
So now the blame for the
riots is being assigned in the media to the white supremacists, instead of where
it belongs: the rioters who couldn't ignore them. One resident said "They don't
have the right to bring hate to my front yard." I guess that means you're
entitled to run right out and throw rocks at an ambulance. One news anchor this
morning asked the police chief of Toledo why he didn't arrest the idiot Nazis.
For what? Exercising their freedom of speech?
Thank you government
schools...for not teaching people that no matter how despicable the message,
people do have the right to free speech. By the way .... The march by the National Socialist Movement wasn't the
reason for the riots, it was the excuse.
LOUIE'S MILLIONS MORE
Calypso Louie was in our
nation's capitol on Saturday....for something called the "Millions More
Movement." This is evidently some sort of sequel to the Million Man March. At
any rate, only tens of thousands of people showed up...not millions. Not a
problem for the anti-Semitic race warlord Farrakhan. So what has his panties in
a bunch?
He's still pushing the
idea that New Orleans was flooded on purpose....you know, a conspiracy to drown
black people and stuff. He says that four hurricanes struck Florida last year
and that didn't result in 1,000 deaths like it did in New Orleans. Farrakhan
said people should charge the U.S. Government with criminal neglect.
So what's the difference
between Florida and New Orleans' response to a hurricane? Not to sound callous,
but the only reason people died in New Orleans from Katrina is because they
ignored the order to evacuate. The failure of government to evacuate those who
weren't able to leave is not a federal problem. That blame rests solely on the
Mayor of New Orleans and the Governor of Louisiana.
And by the way, Minister
Farrakhan...the Mayor of New Orleans is black. Have fun with that one! Oh ... and why don't
you take a news crew with you on your next visit to the Mother Wheel orbiting
the Earth! Gawd ... what a loon.
MORE GOOD IRAQ NEWS
Things are once again
going well in Iraq...and you know what that means: the good news must be
ignored, downplayed or cast in a negative light. The first Constitution in the
new Iraq
seemed assured of passage, with the opposition falling short. However,
this is not being reported as the momentous occasion that it is. Doing so would
mean that it would be a positive story for George Bush, and we can't have that.
Instead, we have news reporting like this:
--Since the Sunni
opposition failed, Iraq is now a "divided nation." Whatever that means. I guess
success only comes when everybody agrees on something.
--Some Islamic cleric
promised that insurgent (Islamic terrorist) attacks would continue. Since those
mean, evil insurgents won't stop attacking, the whole thing is a failure.
So instead of this being
properly hailed as a successful step in Iraq to democratic self-rule, it's being
ridiculed. Which just goes to show that the blame America first crowd on the
left and in the media doesn't want to see us succeed in Iraq. After all, that
would benefit George Bush.
And we can't have that.

REDNECK SCRAP BOOK
Wow, looks like someone might
have been over served. (Warning, scantily clad woman. So I'm sure you won't
click at work, right?) More in the
Redneck Scrap Book. READING ASSIGNMENTS
Starting tomorrow, private planes will be allowed to land again at Reagan
National Airport in D.C....but
there's a catch. Thanks to new rules from the TSA, the number of planes is
capped at 48 per day. And no single-engine aircraft. No problem for the
Godfather and the Baby Jesus, however: business jets can come and go as they
please.
Chris Wallace says that
since he left ABC and went to Fox News,
he's noticed an astonishing about of media bias
on the part of his former colleagues in the mainstream media. Glad someone's
noticing.
Looks like things weren't
so rosy at Harriet Miers' law firm while she was running it.
Seems they got busted over and over again for one investment scandal
after another. Bad omen.
Former FBI Director Louis
Freeh
says he had better things to do than investigate Bill Clinton,
and it wasn't his fault that the allegations kept coming up. The Clinton
cronies continue to fight back.
Turns out not too many people in New Orleans' 9th Ward had flood insurance,
because it wasn't required. All the better reason not to put it back the way it
was.
Speaking of New Orleans,
Bob Novak reports from the scene that not too many people think much of Mayor
Nagin's scheme to turn New Orleans into a giant gambling casino.
They say Nagin is in over his head.
Mark Steyn calls out the media for using words
like "insurgents" and "militants" to describe Islamic terrorists. Excellent
column. Don't miss this one.
Nearly every spending
program and pork project has defenders and advocates, but
Senator Jon Kyl asks who is defending the American taxpayer?
He describes some non-profit groups that try to do the job.
The mainstream media got
nearly everything wrong in their reporting of Hurricane Katrina's aftermath.
Columnist Mark Tapscott wants to know when we'll see an apology.
Don't hold your breath.
Star Parker breaks down Louis Farrakhan's "Millions More" march
in Washington and says it's all just more excuse-making victimology for poor
blacks. No, Neal didn't make this one up...breast implants with
a little extra ba-boom. |
