…the Bleacherman has entered the stadium…
Where is the dignity? Where is the civility?
They’re gone. They have been replaced by a prevailing gutter politics where the crass and cruel rule.
Rush Limbaugh and the ignorant, evil and vicious “right” are taking their shots at Michelle Obama and her weight. With a country fighting battles over budgets and jobs and unions, Rush Limbaugh, no lightweight himself, thinks criticizing the first lady’s weight is fun. And relevant. And important.
I wonder what Rush would have said about President Franklin Roosevelt’s handicap if Rush would fall through a time hole or some other manifestation of alternate and alternative dimensions and wind up reporting during the 1930’s and 1940’s. After all, FDR was a liberal. Would he call the president a cripple? Would his fans cheer him on? Would we flush dignity and civility down the toilet?
I have said this over and over again but the decline and ultimate destruction of the great American lifestyle has begun. When a first responder refuses to respond to the Giffords shooting because he didn’t like the Representative’s politics; what’s next? Do we face the day when a surgeon will refuse to operate on a patient because of political ideology?
What is this Nation coming to? Or are we already there?
