The American Self Immolation, Truly a Sight to See

In the early 60’some FCC chairman complained about television being a “vast wasteland”. This Wasteland incuded “Gunsmoke”, “Star Trek”, “Twilight Zone”, and “The Alfred Hitchcock Hour”, to name a few. In the previous decade (the “early days of TV) they had weekly shows included shows like Kraft Theater and Robert Montgomery Presents. These featured plays by people like Eugene O’Neill, F. Scott Fitzgerald, and Arthur Miller. It was also common to find Shakespeare, Opera, on the three major networks, and there was Toscanini’s NBC Symphony. These were sponsored by big companies like Texaco. And I’ll bet that the budgets must have been miniscule compared to the resources poured into the endless homogeneous, politically correct dung served up by our cable networks.

OK, three are a few exceptions. I join the wife for “ 24”, and occasionally NCIS (Pretty good stories with some comic relief). And there’s some great stuff on the Science, History, and Military channels.

But look at the enormity of the lame, silly garbage cranked out and there’s no question that our culture is in a bottomless downward spiral.

Enemies? My enemies are right here in the US. The Russian people were once our allies. They beat the Germans, we helped. They are not enemies, their rulers are, as are our rulers. If we decide to fight our liberal fascist rulers, we will see who is toothless and weak. Obama’s cockroaches will scurry for cover when the light is turned on them.
