I was watching PBS TV after John McCain’s speech and watched a so-called panel of experts twist and turn their analysis to fit into their bias. Since the major television networks, and the MSNBC, CNN or their media derivatives are nothing more than propaganda organs for the Socialist Democratic Party, I won’t even stop for a moment to listen to them. I do check with PBS to get the Ruling Elitist view. For some reason I find them the least offensive? I do get most of my News from the Internet or occasionally from Fox News. I don’t even spend much time there in the evenings because I may agree with their political viewpoints, but the arrogance and bulging egos of several of their personalities is too much for steady viewing. After sampling the talking heads over the last few weeks I realized the talking heads are really empty heads. I would like to see if they are “Smarter than a Fifth Grader,” or even Jeff Foxworthy? Actually the last quip was insulting to Mr. Foxworthy. Sorry!

The PBS segment was talking about how Iraqi War Veterans were a different breed and leaning more to the Democrats. They mentioned about the Iraqi War Veterans recruited by the Democrats and elected as First Term Congressmen in 2006. One talking head even made a big deal about Barack Obama getting more money from Military overseas than John McCain. They left an impression the majority of the Military vote would go to Obama. If any of these experts would understand their History, it has always been the Party in the White House that takes a beating as wars being fought lengthen, and frustration increases due to the fear of a never-ending conflict. I recently finished a new book about the Lincoln Presidency and was reminded that he saw his own November defeat in August of 1864. Everything changed for him in September with Union Military victories, just like the surge has changed the election dynamics of 2008. Our global position of power was not sought after; it was thrust upon this Country after World War II. Actually, there were many traditional Democrats in the Forties and Fifties who were strong proponents of America’s Military strength in dangerous times.

I digress, the issue I am raising, is the lack of insight or knowledge of history by the Talking Heads. As a young man two of my favorite past times were watching sports and politics. Over the years my interest his declined as the talking head population exploded. There is a continuing barrage of over analysis of sporting events and political speeches made by people who mostly don’t care about the veracity of their babbling. Their predictions have a low percentage of accuracy. In earlier days, only Weatherman or Economists could make so many bad predictions and lose favor. Ironically, those professions have improved the accuracy of their predictions through better science. On the other hand, the Talking Head society has become detached from both the Truth and the opinions of Joe or Jane Six Pack. Bernard Goldberg remarked in his book “Bias,” about his experience with some CBS staffers after Nixon’s 1972 re-election. He overheard one remark, “I don’t understand how he won? 85% of the people I know voted for George McGovern.” Of course she worked for CBS, lived and worked in Manhattan, which means she might be qualified to be a talking head?

Many dangers exist for this country. They are real, but another danger lurks. This one is not talked about but this threat isn’t from a Military takeover, or horrific acts of Terrorism. The unspoken threat is from the explosion of government in American lives. Not only Russia, or China, but the USA, also, may soon have the middle class under the thumb of the Ruling Elitists who will control their Health, Wealth and almost everything else. Of course, like Russia or China, if you are in the Ruling Elitists group, you will get special treatment, government bailouts for your greedy risk taking and perks of the rich and powerful. The Empty Heads can parse every utterance of this election season and it won’t affect the vote on November 4. I’ve made up my mind and I don’t want to hear any more Talking Head twisted logic. Keep your propaganda for your voter zombies who don’t’ believe we may only be a couple of elections away from losing the opportunity to vote real change as power becomes more concentrated in the Beltway.

William McGurn wrote in the Wall Street Journal, 09/02/08;“… in Washington you are permitted to enjoy wealth without ever being called wealthy provided simply that you haven't actually earned it in some unseemly way -- by, say, building up a business.” The real change is “Back to the Future” of Limited Government, Understandable Flat Taxes, Term Limits for Congress and Mandatory retirement for Judges; and a Balance Budget Amendment to stop the waste. The Change advocated by Socialist Democrats is just more Great Society Big Government tax and spend to finish the job of Beltway Domination over the Average American. That is NOT the kind of change I want. It also is beyond the comprehension of most of the Empty Heads. Anyway, I TIVO sporting events and won’t listen to any more political analysis or other BS. Like I say in sports, stop the talk and just play the Damn game!
