America — Brain Dead and Sinking Fast
For weeks and months Casey Anthony captivated the attention of weak-minded individuals that were missing their daily *fix* of Oprah, American Idol, Survivor, Dancing With the Stars, The Voice, America’s Got Talent or some other such television nonsense.
The American media, The MSM, constantly pounded the willing recipients with every detail of how Casey looked, how she reacted, what position she assumed at the table, how many tears she cried, or didn’t cry, and Casey Anthony was a STAR for a brief period in time.
Americans give a damn about who was voted off the island, who moved on in the singing competition, what 3rd rate *star* broke a sweat, did they take on a seductive *glisten* or did they stink like a wet dog, did their dancing clothes cling to their moist bodies in a provocative manner and how much weight did they lose.
Then Casey Anthony was found not guilty and the American brain dead were without a *cause* as she disappeared into the obscurity that comes from no spotlight being shined on your every move.
Then came Anders Behring Breivik and his *heinous* acts against the people of Norway.
Americans were suddenly consumed with a sense of gloom and doom, a feeling of sympathy for the people of Norway and all of those poor little innocent children that this monster Breivik killed in cold blood.
What many failed to realize is that Norway is a Labour Party nation, read *Communist* and all those ‘poor little children’ were the spawn of Labour leaders, the next ruling class, and were in fact, mini-Communists in training.
The good news in that? America was once again captivated by WORLD events and the entertainment world took a back seat as REAL issues came to light.
Then Amy Winehouse died and the entertainment world once again captured the imagination of brain dead Americans.
It’s amazing, at least amazing to me, how Americans can be so consumed with the lives of libber, leftist entertainers, actors and singers, which, for the most part, stand against everything the right and Conservatism stands for.
How many Americans are aware that there were some shooting crimes that took place right here in the good old USA over the weekend?
How many Americans are aware of this?
SEATTLE — Two unrelated mass shootings in a span of just a few hours in neighboring communities south of Seattle wounded at least 20 people and left officials surprised over the proximity of the violence and that no one was killed.
Thirteen people were wounded after a fight erupted into gunfire at a car show late Saturday afternoon in Kent, about 20 miles south of Seattle, sending spectators ducking for cover and merchants hiding in stores. SOURCE
Maybe this didn’t catch the attention of the American television audience because no one died. If it doesn’t bleed, it doesn’t lead.
There was another shooting in Grand Prairie, TX over the weekend, an incident where 5 people were shot to death and the shooter then took his own life. SOURCE
Were Americans, as a whole, upset about that act of random violence?
Of course not, there were no celebrities involved, no singers OD’d, no dancers fell on their fat asses, no one was voted off of the island and it didn’t affect the lives of brain dead, television addicted Americans.
Will the NFL come to terms with the players? Will there be a football season in 2011 and 2012? Will the NFL lockout come to an end in time for the players to get ready to play some football? Those are the BIG questions right now.
Has anyone noticed? The police in Norway apparently don’t know how to count?
The police also significantly reduced the confirmed death toll in the Friday attacks to 76 instead of 93 — still one of the worst mass killings in postwar Europe. SOURCE
Where did those other 17 bodies go? Oh well, it doesn’t matter, as long as the judges get the scores right on Dancing with the Useless and American Idol, it’s all good…right?
Did anyone hear anything from the MSM about American combat troop deaths and/or police and fire fighter deaths over the weekend?
Oh hell no, even if there had been, and regarding the troops, I have no idea about the weekend, those numbers aren’t released yet, but if there had been it would have been shuffled to page 2, or further back.
Why you ask? Because some dope-headed skank named Amy Winehouse died.
How many of you are keeping up with the potential for a national financial meltdown?
Oh, wait, Amy Winehouse died and we ALL need to know the gory details and of course we must, as good Americans, mourn the tragedy that struck those poor people in Norway.
And Amy Winehouse.
This post may not make me terribly popular with some of my readers, frankly my dear, I don’t give a damn. I am here to tell the truth as I see it and as I believe it to be. That’s the whole point of having a blog. I don’t go to other blogs attacking the writer(s), they can spout off as they wish, so, here is MY bottom line.
Apathy, political correctness and bleeding heart reactions to ACTS OF WAR are going to be the death of America.
Some weep when attacks like those that happened in Norway occur. Some pull their hair out and mourn those poor innocent children at the camp and those killed in the explosion in Oslo.
Those individuals were the ENEMY in the eyes of Anders Behring Breivik and he reacted as he saw fit when dealing with an enemy that IS destroying a nation. Were the victims on the island of Utoya young? Yes, indeed they were. Most accounts list some as young as 13 with most between the ages of 16 and 30, and yes, they were unarmed, as was the off duty Norwegian police officer that was there to provide security.
These people were victims of Anders Behring Breivik but they were also victims of a nation that is basically a Communist nation, or, controlled by the Labour Party, which is a nice way of saying Communist. They were victims of their own nation and the laws that left them unarmed and unprotected as much as they were victims in any other sense of the word.
Many Americans see that unarmed part as a good thing, I submit that the day Americans become the victims of a Socialist dictatorship and allow themselves to become unarmed serfs, we too will be victims of our own making and more or less deserving of what happens when others seek to restore freedom from tyranny.
Freedom from tyranny is NOT won by making compassionate expressions of sympathy for the victims of WAR, freedom from tyranny is won by doing what is required to attain VICTORY.
I’m not saying what Anders Behring Breivik did was the *right* thing to do, but desperate times call for desperate measures, and there are many in this nation that feel as if they have been backed into a corner and feel that *drastic measures* are not only called for, but are quite correct, and a well trained and highly motivated individual is NOT someone that you want to try and *corner*, they will get OUT of that corner.
By ANY means!
Apathy and lack of attention to reality is as dangerous as that guy in Norway. Can’t say I disagree with anything in this OpEd at all.
Well said sir; very well said.
Check out this video on Norway and you’ll see why this country is in the mess it’s in. Also, cops in Norway don’t carry guns and the maximum prison sentence is 21 years. The guy that did this shooting can only get 21 years maximum.

The motto of the Great American Couch Potato: Ignore Apathy.
In an overarching way, I concur.
Amy WINEhouse should have had a clue: hello? LAST name? WINEhouse? Alcoholic problem? Hello? She was a nothing human who will mean, in the long run, nothing. My last cat, Mose, held more importance than Amy WINEhouse.
Brings to my mind the phrase, in terms of current American culture: bread and circuses. A metaphor for a superficial means of appeasement. In the case of politics, the phrase is used to describe the creation of public approval, not through exemplary or excellent public service or public policy, but through the mere satisfaction of the immediate, shallow requirements of a populace. The phrase also implies the erosion or ignorance of civic duty amongst the concerns of the common man (l’homme moyen sensuel).
I’m not off the reservation on this, TF. I’m having a difficult time processing.
Because, IMO, his immediate targets were incorrect.
Which brings, to my mind, a question of honesty and courage and ethics.

Let me also make, if I might, two prior unmade points:
1. The Norwegians brought this upon themselves via years of policy;
2. The national and global media BOTH lie; there is NO information indicating or linking Breivik to Christianity whatsoever. NONE.
BZ
It is sad that more people in this country are interested in the lives of celebrities than they are about what is happening to our country and around the world. And it doesn’t bode well for our future, because while many of these people don’t pay attention to politics they still vote without knowing who or what they are voting for. This is how Barack Obama got elected in the first place, he was able to make himself into a celebrity.
I used to be a huge Boston sports fan, but since I have started blogging sports seems to unimportant to me; when I see people who lose sleep when their team loses yet pays no attention to what is really important I become frustrated because they have their priorities messed up.
If just one of the victims in Norway was permitted to carry a weapon perhaps the death toll would have been quite a bit lower, but this is an issue the media will gloss over.
Fred…
I am so with you !!!! it is hard to capture the right wording…
I lived my first 25 years under communistic rule, back in Poland…

I somehow confused the GREAT AMERICANS for educated, smart, intelligent people…..
…sorry….
in 90% I am wrong!!!
You are so right Fred. Many Americans still are more concerned about the entertainment idiots than their future and what will be left for their children. However, I still have hope that there are enough REAL AMERICANS to restore Common Sense to the USA. There are so many grassroots organizations available now for REAL AMERICANS and don’t forget the internet has given us access to real and truthful information.
I have always maintained that the only way to make change is to affect the BOTTOM LINE (otherwise known as m-o-n-e-y). You don’t buy the product, watch the program, listen to them talk, buy the cds, dvds or go to the movies. I know that there are still enough intelligent citizens to affect this change, but they have not exercised the power of the purse!
On a brighter note I will predict revolution and another major European war. There is a backlash against the EC which holds that any effort to discuss the policy and practices of immigration is racist and radical or terrorist in its’ origin………………….in reality it is simply successful European states populations bucking at the notion that they will be required to pay for the bailouts of unsuccessful European states and these Islamic immigrants benefits that refuse to assimilate into the dominant culture.
A brief anecdote about my visit to Sweden and as I arrived in the midst of a great controversy that which I was unaware. Previous to my arrival there had been a problem at the large High school in Stockholm. The the kids had celebrated a National Holiday by showing up in their national costumes and parading the Swedish Flag and singing the national anthem. The Islamic minority took great offense to this celebration and filed suit in the Swedish courts to ban the aforementioned behaviour as racist and in violation of multiculturalism principles. The Swedish court upheld the Islamic suit and forbade any such further demonstrations, of nationalism which included the costume, the flag and the anthem, without allowing equal representation for the Islamic minorities…………………………..My first Monday morning in Stockholm I marveled at what seemed to be every residence and every business flying the beautiful cobalt field with the gold cross, I noted this impressive show of patriotism to my guide who explained the story………………………….they hate their government also.
At least as best I can tell because, Min Svenske ar nickt um bra, however most Swedish folks speak English better than most US cits……….
Also perhaps it would be best if thinking peoples ignored those of the Swinehouse ilk and all of the “reality” contrived entertainment. In the world of marketing if you ignore them they DO go away.
Happily I discovered your blog and you make me smile.
