"Talent...on loan...from Gaaaawwwd".....that's what Rush often says. Rush, sincerely, I wish you a speedy and healthy recovery. With 2009 winding down thankfully, many people are 'optimistically' looking at 2010 to be a much better year. In the end, I think it will. At the end of 2010, if 'The People' are wise and do care....The People will vote pretty the majority of the lame, lazy, and stupid out of Congress and get real American's into Congress who 'Represent' The People as they should.
After Christmas, the 26th, like many real American's, I went back to work. I'm at work today as well. What little I do in my small sphere of influence does help and affects average people, and they are happy that I do show up for the services I provide, for it makes their lives go smoother.
Obama, that guy that occupies the Office of the President of the United States, came on TV a few days after a very near miss of a huge and deadly disaster in the form of a TERRORIST attack. He looked and sounded ....tired, annoyed, and gave a flat meaningless short speech....which Joe Pags this morning is on target of explaining it all to his listener's via the Glenn Beck radio show.
This takes me to the failure of talk radio. Not every person has a pivitol point in time and history to affect the greater good, or be part of history. I came to work, though I'm tired, would like a vacaton to just lounge in a warm, sunny, place void of distractions. But I did have a day and half off for Christmas with family, and it was good. I am grateful to have a job. But I do not affect humanity on a grand level as others do.....people like Barack Obama, who has taken more vacations in one year than I or you, have in our lifetime. Obama has the most important job in this World...and he doesn't take it serious, or that is part of his plan.
Talk radio is the voice of The People at this moment in history. We've had a corrupt Senate pushing a destructive health care bill through, we've had numerous terrrorist attacks on U.S. Personnel abroad and now here in the United States to include the numerous dry and distruptive runs they are doing. I can only blog. That's it. A few people may gloss over it, then that's it. But others.....they are in a position to make a real difference. George Washington and his Continential Army did not take a break and go on vacation during Christmas when this Nation was facing a life and death point. Neither side during the Civil War took a vacation to continue to fight for what they believed in. Did our Nation's leaders go on vacation in December 1941 or throughout the Second World War, when again our very life as a Nation was at stake? While they took a moment to celebrate, they took life seriously.
But here our Nation is at a nexus, a very crucial, pivotial point.....and we see how our Congress and Executive Branch behave.
Talk radio...the last voice of The People.....Sean, Glenn, Neal, Rush....took vacations. Do I take them seriously when they come back on air? Do I believe the tears I see and hear from Glenn? Do I take Sean seriously when he says he's mad, fed up, and not going to take it anymore? Do I take Neal seriously? Not without checking other sources first. Then there's Rush....with 'talent on loan from God'. Rush decided to take a vacation, but now is sitting in a hospital bed. Rush, who is one of the most influential persons in our time, had a reminder about his 'loan'. Rush was, I believe, nudged by God Himself, as a reminder about that 'loan', and the importance of it.
On the positive side of talk radio, there have been many who have grasped the Flag of Freedom and continued to charge against the huge human waves of socialist, radicals, and fools. But sometimes, an Sgt. York, an Audie Murphy, a Hideki Matsui, TomBrady, steps up an leads the team, makes a supreme difference in a battle, or has a soapbox where people listen and pay attention. Such as were the men and women who 'filled' in for the lead talk show host. At this juncture in our Nation's history, B.E.V. believes the host should have been there.....if their words they tell us really mean what they say.
I could have said nothing.....but that would be hypocritical of me, of who I am, in what I believe. That I will continue to fight for the very freedom and liberties our Founding Fathers fought and died for in building this Nation. End of a year is a time of reflection....I hope many reflect on how they lived this past year.
