Even paranoids have real enemies.........H. Kissinger
ping! finally!
I agree with you. People expect perfection. Real life isn't like that. Beck is obnoxious at times, but his courage to face the unthinkable and his plodding determination to figure it all out and share his findings should not be dismissed.
BOR is a clown.
BOR has Southen Poverty Law Center hacks on his show and treats them as members of a legitimate organization, instead of the race baiting, rabble rousing parasites they are.
He is one of the useful idiots. It's amazing so many people watch him...but then again, quite a few people voted for Obama and didn't see through him either...at least at first.
When I consider how many Americans are weak thinkers it can be discouraging.
Criminy is an old profanity, with origins in the 1600s or before. Dictionary.com and Merriam-Webster Online seem to agree it is a probable euphemism for "Christ."
Awesome! Thank you for posting!
That’s part of it to be sure, but it’s just so self-defeatist for folks on our side to enable the Left to do what it does.
Here’s why I have so much of a problem with what Beck did there.
If you get it right 90% of the time, you are enabling the Left 10% of the time. Not really all that bad a record to be sure. But what here’s what happens.
On every single important issue, we have some wing-nut or another enabling the Left on an issue that is a clear as can be. And then people on the Left, and even people who are confused in the middle think, “See even so and so knows we’re (or the Left is) right here.” It’s called chaos. It’s called chaos for a reason. Helping to create chaos on important issues, allows the Left to have it’s policies stand unrefuted by the Right.
There’s always some idiot that’s pretty sound on the Right, to buttress their (the Left’s) argument. And then those that are on solid ground on the Right, are marginalized. You might just as well say defeated. Nobody’s going to listen, because the ‘idiot stick of the day’ just buttressed the Left’s premise.
Bill Krystol has made an art form out of this type of thing. MeCain has honed it to perfection.
The Left wants to cut the military and Beck agrees. The Left wants to have abortion on demand. Laura Bush agrees. Obama wanted to close GitMo, and MeCain agrees. Obama wanted carbon mandates, and MeCain agreed with that too. The Left wanted to expand Medicare to cover prescription drugs, and Bush agreed.
The Left always has someone on our side they can play like a fiddle against us. With the exception of Lieberman (once in a while), we have no such pool of people we can draw on from the Left to get our agenda through. That’s why we continue to lose ground.
And so it goes, the Left getting Carte Blanche and we getting bupkiss for all our efforts.
So Glen, this why you deserve the triple raspberry treatment for those idiotic comments.
I don’t expect us to be unified on the small things, but the military..., good heavens man, buy a clue.
O’Reilly has to have a serious search & find his spine.
It has been missing for a number of years now.
There is the person who should be running with Palin in 2012.
He is very smart—he just needs to find some charisma.

I’m not going to quibble with those sources (state they are wrong), because they may be on solid ground about the “origins” of the word and what it was substituted for initially, but I do believe their view may be somewhat off base in contemporary terms.
I can think of a bunch of profane words that can be used for exclamation, that aren’t substituted for Christ.
With that being said, if the word ‘profane’ only applies to sacrilegious terms, then I should have used another word in this response.
I’ve never thought of Christ when using the term criminy. It’s wide use in some circles has probably led it away from being the substitute these sources attributed it to. As such, I don’t think it’s legitimate to say it’s sacrilegious or a substitute for Christ any longer.
Is the root word in part Christ? Or is the root word in part crime? I’ve thought of it as a crime that some things happen, purely in the realm of what ought to be.
Thanks Albion Wilde.

Tom is one of the PROVEN good guys.
IF BOR were just half as “smart” as he constantly tells us he is, he would have come to this conclusion long before we were saddled with this regime.
If you ask me, a Harvard Degree is just a little less impressive than a bucket of spit.
I only wonder how different Cali would be had he been governor. SIGH.
Yeah.

There is a website claimng the word is a reference to Christ, with absolutely no foundation for laying claim to same.
I say bullshiite.
Crimony!!
