The Liberal Celebs Strike Again

This time it’s Sean Penn…again. Mr. Penn, ever the Bush-hating liberal, took the opportunity to hijack the podium at another self-congratulatory celebrity event to call for the impeachment of George Bush and Dick Cheney. I love how these quasi-intellectuals abuse their limelight by displaying their Bush-Hater cards for the world to see. Honestly, people pay to see you act on screen….that’s it. Armed with a world class high school level education, Mr. Penn is hardly in a position to be considered an expert on anything much less politics. He is paid to mindlessly take guidance from a director in the portrayal screenplays that are written by someone else. Obviously, he is simply regurgitating what the mainstream media has implanted in the psyche of our culture as something that is “en vogue.” Like Gucci wallets, eating dinner at the Ivy, or driving the latest Mercedes, Bush-hatred is a fad that is rapidly eaten up by the pseudo-intellectual Hollywood establishment. Liberalism is the conspicuous consumption of the "wish I were an intellectual" crowd that infest Beverly Hills. Go back to memorizing someone else’s words and let us to the thinking….

Race Baiters Plan to Shut Down Wall Street

Black activist groups are planning to “shut down Wall Street” with a massive demonstration on Thursday to protest to killing of Sean Bell by NYPD police officers. Quick facts on the case, courtesy of the NY Post: Sean Bell was shot by undercover police officers (six of nine who were black) after ramming his car into an officer who approached his crew and asked them to stop. Like the Duke Rape Case or Hurricane Katrina, this incident provides another excuse for black leaders to legitimize their standing through race baiting and demagoguery. Facts aside, this case like all the others, is vital to keeping the likes of Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, and all the various splinter cells in power. Unfortunately for the black community, victim hood remains the calling card for their leadership. Until someone or some group steps up to take where Martin Luther King jr. let off by pursuing the betterment of the people, the black community will continue to self-segregate themselves from society.

New York Knicks vs. Denver Nuggets Brawl

Saturday night saw yet another despicable sportsmanship display, this time an out of control melee at MSG between the Knicks and Nuggets basketball teams. You name the episode: U of Miami vs. FIU, Ron Artest at Detroit, etc….when are coaches and administrators going to learn: garbage in, garbage out. It’s simple cause and effect; if you recruit thugs off of the street you will have thugs on your team who in turn will exhibit thug-like behavior. Unfortunately, the sports arena is viewed as the ‘hood’ to many of these athletes who choose to settle their on field scores with violence and malaise versus old fashioned competition. Who suffers? Certainly not the athletes…in the case of latest episode, they’ll be fined a few hundred thousand dollars…mere pocket change. Certainly not the NBA, they benefit from the added publicity associated with the spectacle of the possibility of rumbles occurring during their games (quick aside: the league is in decline as it is anyway as their games are dominated by ball hogs and prima donnas). Blood-thirsty viewers will tune in for the street fights on the court alone. The group that will inevitably suffer enough is the young fans, particularly the children who already view the world of sports as their only way out. They look up to these athletes as ghetto saviors and will absolutely mimic their behavior. Just look at the massive brawls that occur every Friday night at high school contests across the country. Incidents like what happened at MSG fuel the fire because young athletes will adopt the street hood ways of those they see on television….hey, Carmelo has a great crossover move, but look at his sucker punch…now that’s a great move!!!
