No Resistance From Congress

Kris Kristofferson is now 77 years old and retains more talent and experiences in his little finger than I’ll ever even try to attain.  A former Rhodes Scholar, Army Captain, war-time helicopter pilot, song writer, actor, performer, and someone who likely holds in his head the cure for cancer.  Among his many songs, including “Me and Bobby McGee”, he also penned lyrics with respect to Johnny Cash and others which included the priceless sequence:  ”He’s a walking contradiction; partly truth and partly fiction.”

That brings us to the faux-interview between Bill O’Reilly, former science teacher, and Barack Obama, former community organizer, prior to the Super Bowl last week. Here’s the catch:  for both of them the truth is optional while posing is everything, for they’re both partly truth and partly fiction, and there’s no doubt they’re both walking contradictions.  I’ll allow the reader to decide which one is a bigger phony, though you might already know where I have my money bet.

O’Reilly is not a journalist; he’s a “Brand”, and Obama is not remotely presidential for he, too, is a function of marketing, a manufactured myth of a man whom Americans somehow bought into as being a Messiah, a thought now so ridiculous in hindsight it’s like believing Superman works for the Daily Planet and lives two doors down. I can’t help but wonder if Bill and Barry stayed at a Holiday Inn Express the previous night for it is difficult to imagine two bigger pretenders, one sneering at the interviewer like a punk on the playground and the other too timid to ask a follow-up question and seek answers for ongoing and overt criminal behavior. It would have been easier to just watch them kiss than sit through all the bad acting, for the disgusting-meter was red-lining.

To acidic an observation?  No!  O’Reilly was still trying to rationalize the puff-piece-homage as late as last Thursday by stating the president is not out to harm the country but is out for social justice.  Fine, Bill.  Keep fooling yourself.  How does not pressing for answers with respect to the IRS, NSA, Benghazi, a drowning economy, failed stimulus, drones spying on Americans, a porous border, poor foreign policy, being mocked by other countries for our weakness translate into a leader seeking social justice?  It’s OK.  We all know you can’t answer that question.

How long will America stay in its slumber and watch such schlock, or are we all conditioned now to accept the unacceptable?  Kids no longer need to win; they merely need to participate.  Competition is discouraged because it means somebody might lose.  My two mommies are my father, or my two daddies are my mother?  The more people “select” not to work is better for the economy? What other fallacies await us as we endure another three years of the Papa Doc of Propaganda while he’s enabled by the likes of Mr. Bill, The Science Teacher?

What the hell is going on here?  We’re no longer being lead, we’re being lectured, being told what runs contrary to reality, and it’s pure fantasy.  Unemployment payments spur the economy?  Not working is considered a choice?  The Obamacare Tax really isn’t a tax?  Young people in their 20′s are storming the gate to part with $700.00 monthly payments and sky-high deductibles in order to pay for my healthcare needs?

How many do you think will opt for the annual $95.00 fine instead?

Oh, and now we have a new definition of smidgen, for according to the Liar in Chief there was no wrongdoing at the IRS.  My suspicion (it’s only a suspicion…..) is when a major campaign contributor of the president gets hired by the Justice Department and there are already 10,000 other attorneys working in said department, and that individual is chartered to conduct a pseudo-investigation, the president knows in advance that it will be announced that no nefarious targeting took place.  It’s all so preposterous, well, it’s almost as silly as having an attorney general investigate himself.  If it were not true, then how could a sitting president smirk at the camera and assure a pusillanimous interviewer that the slate was clean?

There were opportunities for O’Reilly to pounce during the interview and he tucked his tail to protect his genitals like my puppy does when it’s ailing and about to vomit.  He accepted lies, he did not react to the arrogance, nor did he even pretend he knew the nature of something called a follow-up question.  FOX said it was a ratings success, while I call it a sick forum created for sermonizing and perpetuating pure dreck.  The original, truncated production was only foist upon viewers for ten minutes, so I made it my business to watch Miley O’Reilly twerk in front of the president in an extended display of cowering the following night on The O’Reilly Factor.  This guy ought to entitle his next book, “Killing Journalism.”

So where is the country proceeding at MACH IV?  (that’s MACH FOUR for liberals and illegals)  The answer is unarguably we are in a steep descent and the flaps are up.  The money being paid into the government coffers is declining, the taxes upon those willing to work are about to take a quantum leap, those with their tongues and hands hanging out continue to breed like rabbits without a concern for personal responsibility, and the country has reached a critical mass wherein there will not be enough money coming through the turnstiles to meet its obligations.

And this catastrophe, being produced by a man supposedly seeking social justice will be enabled by Congress, without a scintilla of resistance by fops like O’Reilly.
