I am outraged. And before I begin to tell you what's so outrageous I must thank Elfarmy for showing me what to be outraged about and it worked because now I'm outraged.
I am outraged because NPR, which I now dub Nazi Plutocrat Radio, has committed an unspeakable atrocity. They had persecuted a innocent man and stripped him of his god given 1st amendment rights simply because they didn't like his political beliefs.
I am speaking of Juan Williams(who like the great martyr Rachel Corrie was driven over by a bulldozer, the bulldozer of the liberal biased media) who simply stated his balanced logical and reasonable view and Narcissist Paranoid Radio was scared that he would challenge their secret agenda and so they fired him.
But no, we will not stand for it. Already a public backlash has started against Name-calling Poor-loving Radio. Sarah Palin has called for the cutting off of all government funding for NPR and musicians are beginning to record protest songs sticking up for Mr. Williams. Roger Ailes has been public about his support for Mr. Williams 1st Amendment rights.
How about we look at what he said.
"I mean, look, Bill, I'm not a bigot. You know the kind of books I've written about the civil rights movement in this country. But when I get on the plane, I got to tell you, if I see people who are in Muslim garb and I think, you know, they are identifying themselves first and foremost as Muslims, I get worried. I get nervous."
How about I flip the sarcasm switch to off right now and address Juan Williams personally.
Mr. Williams you are the former host of one of my favorite NPR programs and I am sure you are an intelligent man but I feel that your comments, setting aside the prejudicial nature of it, don't make any sense.
What exactly do you mean by Muslim garb? Are you referring to the burkahs worn by the women? If not what else are you referring to? Also how does wearing religious paraphernalia mean that they identify themselves first and foremost as Muslims? If I am Jewish and I wear a a kippah does that mean that I am defining myself first and foremost as a Jew? If I am a Sikh and I wear a turban does that mean that I am defining myself first and foremost as a Sikh? If I am Christian and I wear a cross necklace does that mean that I am defining myself first and foremost as a Christian?
(I shall now address my readers again)
The reason that NPR fired him is because "News analysts may not take personal public positions on controversial issues; doing so undermines their credibility as analysts..." They have a perfect right to fire a analyst if they think that he is no longer credible. It is their right. It is his right to say what he wants and it is their right to not like it and fire him accordingly.
If he was working in an office where his political beliefs had nothing to do with his work it would be different but the fact that his political beliefs or lack there of are the cornerstone of his job it is appropriate for his employer to fire him for his statement.
And Sarah Palin saying that we need to cut funding to NPR because they fired a correspondent really really bothers me. She is proposing crippling an institution that has been providing the public with information for 40 years just to score some political points. She truly appears to have no morals at all.

Sestak Scandal
I would guess that of you guys have heard about the Sestak Scandal, but for anyone who has not, here is a brief summary. In the Pennsylvania Democrat Congressional primaries, the 7th district had to close candidates. One of them was White House backed Arlen Specter. The other was white housed opposed Sestak. Sestak won.
So your thinking, ok. So what? Some Dem beat another Dem. Not a big deal right? Wrong! Sestak came on camera saying that the white house offered him a big important job in exchange for dropping out of the race. Thats a bribe, and a very big deal. Now the white house came out and said that they instantly investigated this, and found they did nothing wrong. that was 2 weeks ago. Sestak still claimed they attempted bribery, but he will not say what job it was though.
The important part of this is that the white house said nothing wrong happened, but if nothing wrong took place, then just tell us what did take place. The white house has completely clammed up on this. they will not say anything about this. If it comes out that they did try to bribe him, then they will be in extremely hot water, because not only did they commit a felony, they also tried to cover it up and lied about it!
Now just put 2 and 2 together. It is pretty likely that this is a true claim. if it was not, why on earth would Sestak say, over and over again that it was? and if the white house didst do anything wrong then just say exactly what happened.
Now, even if this is proven to be true it will probably not end in impeachment. Most likely some one will get fired and Obama will explain it all away, and even though it was most likely not directly Obama, if is proven that Obama authorized this bribe, then I can't see how he could escape impeachment.

John Edwards, hypocrite of the year
We all know John Edwards as an estranged Democrat womanizing jerk. I was watching a CNN round-table discussion of Mr. Edwards lunacy, I feel a special connection to him as he both was a Senator from my state and the first politician I ever heard speak, and they showed a picture of him speaking with a podium under him that said "Father of the Year".
So, I Googled it, and yes, John " I made a serious error in judgment" Edwards was named Father of the Year for 2007, a full year after he started his liaison with Miss Reille "You're so hot" Hunter, and I don't care if I spelled her name wrong.
How great of father is John Edwards being while he continues to wreck his youngest child's life by denying that he is the father? The "Father of the Year" is continually denying that he is a father with some responsibilities. The "Father of the Year" wants to marry another woman after his wife dies. The "Father of the Year" wants the Dave Mathews Band to play at his rooftop wedding.
I wonder if he still has the plaque up in his house. If he does, I say we go take it. John "Narcissism" Edwards does not deserve any award for parenting.
In an unconnected story, Gov. Mark Sanford was award the "Husband of the Year Award" last night.
And that's the way it is.
