I think New York Times employees watched too many 1950s TV reruns. They think out here in fly-over country we still live like they did in “Father Knows Best,” where a whole episode would revolve around discomfort over someone having a beard or a british accent.

I do not think he is very polarizing at all. He is hated by conservatives, libertarians AND even by most liberals.

I had nothing against his accent. I didn’t like him because he’s a horse’s ass who needs to face the music for his crimes in UK.

"Look, I am a British guy debating American cultural issues, including guns, which has been very polarizing,

Gee piers, last time the brits tried to take our guns, it didn't work out so good for your country either. That and that bag of quarters you may slap me with you carry inside your purse.

Why Americans Disliked Piers Morgan

I disagree with the wording of Shapiro's title, specifically the verb. First it is in the past tense. And secondly it doesn't conjure up the actual feeling. If "loath" were substituted for "disliked" I think it would help claify the attitudes, or "loath and despise" would be even better.

How Dare You! also had a physically repulsive appearance, I’m sorry to say. That fat, pasty, oatmeal-complexioned face was such a turn-off. The medieval French called them “ros bifs” and he absolutely exemplified that look. Also, as I’ve written here before, many Brits do not know how to behave once they get to America.

Didn’t Morgan come here to flea investigations in England centered around insider trading and wire tapping, or some such?

Indeed he did. A paper he edited got caught hacking Paul McCartney's voice mail, and publishing the contents. It was not flattering to Sir Paul.

Just not THIS Brit.

Personally, I’ve been noticing how many news presenters nowadays appear to be from England according to their accents.

Anyone else noticed? Aren’t there plenty of American news folks who could take these jobs.

BTTT!

_______________

IMHO, the major point of contention between Conservatives is the differing level of tolerance each of has for silently allowing elected Republicans or Independents to act as submissive doormats for violators of the US Constitution.

IOW, what level of tolerance does each of us have, when exceeded, that will put the elected Republicans who do nothing to oppose violations of the US Constitution in our personal category of “Do Nothing RINOs?”

For example, my level of “Do Nothing RINOs,” (DNR), tolerance was forever exceeded during the Primary Campaign of 2012.

Full disclosure:
* I will not vote for “Do Nothing RINOs” ever again.

* I shall just leave their slots blank on the ballot, as there is no effective difference between a Do Nothing RINO and a Democrat.

At each time during the past five years of critical voting the Do Nothing RINOs in the House and Senate have voted with the Democrats to approve the violation of the US Constitution being voted on.

Their usual defeatist whine is: “We can’t do anything because we do not have control of the Senate or White House.”

The Do Nothing RINOs were given FIVE years to do something and did nothing.

Now it is our turn.

IOW, the Do Nothing RINOs and the Democrats vote together as a single, unshakable, voting block to rubber-stamp whatever Obama wants to do to “Fundamentally Change the United States of America.”

_____________________

RINOS ARE THE OBAMA TROJAN HORSE TROOPS PARTY

The “RINOs” are really just Trojan Horse troops sent in for token show by Obama.
They do as they are told to avoid Left Stream Media jeers.
John “The Doormat” Boehner has his paranoid fears:
Obama and the Left Stream Media Journalists will drive him to tears.

And then there is “Capitulation” Cantor,
With a soft Virginia Drawl,
Who wears patches on his knees
From his frequent Cave-In crawls.

Don’t forget “No Resistance” Ryan,
Appeasement is his long suit.
No wonder “Romneycare” Romney
Was such a big Ryan fan.

Obama’s Trojan Horse is now filled with House RINOs,
All promising that in 2014 they will ALL be silent.
The Republican’s RINO Rove, and “Wacko Birds” McCain,
Act as the Loyal Rear Guard for the Obama Trojan Horse.

What have we here? So say the skeptical.
Forward, ever FORWARD rolls the Obama Trojan Horse,
Crushing the Constitution, all Checks and Balances, and all who complain,
While the RINOs in Obama’s Trojan Horse stay always silent. and do not complain.

Did Obama capture the House RINOs inside his Trojan Horse?
Or did the Loyal RINOs stampede on to get there first?
The “What” and the “Why” are just idle chatter,
The RINO Five Years of failure, is what the to voter matters.

With only two plus years left to Impeach Obama,
Can the Trojan Horse House RINOs be trusted,
What the Constitution requires elected Stewards to do?
Or will re-elected House RINOs just continue the destructive Obama trauma?

___________________________________________________________________________

The peak Taxpayer “Rage Day” is April 15, Every Year.

For the 53 % who still pay personal Federal Income taxes, I say “Put y’alls Tax Rage to work and get rid of Obama’s TROJAN HORSE John “Doormat” Boehner” on Imperial Democrat Tax Day, April 15, 2014.

As for timing, the new fire-in-the-belly, Speaker of the House can then, with great and detailed TV Fanfare, draw up the necessary Articles of Impeachment on Soetoro-Obama to be officially filed on the Grandest of all Patriotic Days, July 4, 2014.

Then the 2014 Campaign will be going on along with the following:
* Obama’s Impeachment trial;
* Pro-Obama Impeachment street protests;
* Pro-Military street protests;
* Pro-Privatization of “Entitlements” street protests;
* Anti-Coverup of Benghazi Murders street protests;
* Anti-Coverup of Fast and Furious murder street protests;
* Anti-IRS street protests;
* Anti-NSA street protests;
* Anti-Holder’s DOJ street protests;
* Anti-Bypass Congress street protests;
* Anti-Judge Robert’s street protests;
* Anti-Obamacare street protests;
* Anti-Trojan Horse RINOs street protests; and
* Anti-Democrat Party street protests.

Mr. Morgan is...handsome enough.

Well, let's see...feminine cupids' bow lips that snurl (yes, that is a word...my sainted MawMaw said so) in an arrogant manner when he is talking down to an American...a weak chin that quivers when confronted by a strong personality that will question his inane bullshit...a ski-slope nose that begs to be punched...

I could go on and on, but I was taught to never judge a man by his physical facial attributes.

The news media makes stupid assessments of dumb asses like Morgan, based upon their physical presentations and insist we Americans judge him by it.

Couldn't be more wrong.

He is an ass who just happens to look like an ass.
