Amen, Annie! I know people who are like-minded politically who don't like Ann because they say she's too extreme and writes such outrageous things (how is she any different from Maher and Olberman, e.g. whom I loathe). But I like the fact that she has the guts to skewer morons on the left and she backs it up by appearing on the polticial indoctrination centers that pass for universities. These idiots who preach to their amen corners and claim to be courageous make my blood boil. I was perusing a magazine last night at the store that had an article on Green Day, and the quote on the cover said "We aren't afraid to criticize America." Gee, wow, what guts and how original! Inside, beneath the picture of the deep thinking Billy Joe (you know he's serious because he has that mussy hair and black eyeliner) another quote read "We're rock and roll terrorists!" What rebels, how daring! What a bunch of simple-minded shite.
Add to that: Jon Stewart and Al Franken as caustic polemicists -(if not demagogues)
All of these liberal loudmouths are protegies of Eric Berg from the 1980's . .
What do you expect for high school dropouts who struggle to put three simple cords together, dress like fools, pretend that they are 'rebels' by saying exactly what the critics in their industry wishes to hear, and whose "criticize America" through the most shallow lyrics since Tiffany sang "I Think We're Alone Now?"
