Americans have given up their brains so that the thinking can be done for them by their new ROLE MODELS that visit them in their living rooms on the shiny widescreen truth machine.

Now they are being taught what is the correct emotional response to a topic, by their favorite comedians and talk show hosts.

I don't get paid nearly as much of those comedians do. Nor do I rub elbows with as much famous people as they do. Nor do I have the audience they have. But I do think that I have more life experience as a vet. I understand and have a full appreciation of this country's values and how fragile our veil of security can be. With that said, those comedians take for granted what freedoms they have, use it for their personal gain and stomp on the rest that they perceive have little relevance to their immediate perception of the world.
They are nothing more than high paid court jesters. They say something we laugh. I laughed because it made no sense to me how a court jester can tell us what freedoms we can enjoy.
