The Washington and media hot air and bull shit machine is sinking to new depths is sinking to new depths of prejudice, hypocrisy and absurdity. Pundits and politicians are attacking President Bush's choice to lead the CIA, Gen. Michael Hayden because he is a career Air Force man who wears a uniform. The major justification for this opposition appears to be prejudice, Hayden is being attacked not because is unqualified but because he is a career soldier. That is prejudice pure and simple it is every bit as irrational as if Gen. Hayden were being attacked because his skin was black or if he attended a synaguage instead of a church. People would never dream of condemning a person because of their religion or race are branding a man evil because of his career choice. The attacks on Gen. Hayden are a despicable attempt to appeal to the sensibilities of the Far Left and the Media types who believe all soldiers are Nazis. These attacks are made all the worse by the stench of hypocrisy, the same pinheads attacking Hayden are those who celebrated John Kerry for his military service and wartime heroics, the same people who attacked Bush's questionable military record and worship mindlessly at the feet of any retired general or colonel who mouths a word in support of their pet causes. Elitists stop treating military people as either heroes or villains instead start treating them as what they are: human beings just like the rest of us. Judge Gen. Hayden by his personal behavior, values, beliefs, past performance and history not by the suit he wears.
David Blaine.
I see a lot about this moron David Blaine in the media lately. Blaine is the English man ABC news is all gaga about Blaine's idiotic stunts he tried to hold his breath for nine minutes on TV before that he spent a week living underwater. I find nothing spectacular or even interesting about such carnival stunts. Nor do I find them very heroic. There are undoubtedly many people out there who can do what Blaine does but don't. I'm sure a large percentage of the US Navy SEALS could do what Blaine does, they choose not to instead those guys are over in Iraq and Afghanistan doing something far more dangerous and demanding that gives nincompoops like Blaine the freedom to put on their freakshows. Ditto for a lot of fire fighters who run into burning buildings to rescue people. Or what about those two miners down in Australia who spent a couple of weeks underground in a gold mine after an accident. They were were nearly crushed and came close to starving to death. They went down there not to do something heroic but to earn a living for themselves and their family. Yet what they did was probably far more dangerous than Blaine's moronic stunts. So guess what David Blaine there's nothing special about you, you're nothing but a sideshow freak. The real heroes are those taking risks for real things, protecting their community or their fellow citziens or their country or just earning a decent income for their families.
