The Conservative Sage

Dear Mr. Olbermann I have watched your show/network a few times over the past couple of months and It is evident as to why you're a perennial ratings loser. Approximately 50% of your coverage is spent either attacking Fox news or insulting the intelligence of Sarah Palin, George Bush, Glenn Beck and other conservatives/ Republicans. It is not difficult to figure out that one source of your bitterness is the fact that Fox news consistently kicks your far left behind every single night in the ratings. Perhaps if you spent a little more time on actual substance, you could one day climb out of the ratings basement. The obsessive attacks on your competitors points of view is all the more ridiculous when one realizes that Rachel Maddow, Chris Matthews and your own show are just as left leaning as Sean Hannity, Bill O'Reilly and Glen Beck are right leaning. You also might want to try another novel concept, its called debate. Nothing is more boring than to listen to the same tired l...

The sad news about this weeks developments at the G-20 summit in Pittsburgh- besides the quintessential moronic protesters and vandals- is it has given conspiracy theorist everything they had hoped for. The so called G- 20 nations, made up of the wealthiest nations in the world agreed to form a sort of economic alliance whereby each nation will be subject to "peer" reviews allowing each nation to have a say in how the others run their economy. Also, there was an agreement struck to reign in the pay of bankers. So, the United Stated has entered an agreement to allow the Chinese to have input into our economy? The leaders allege that this co-operative will help to prevent further economic meltdowns. The conspiracy theorist say that this is the emergence of the new world order that they have been predicting for the past 30 years. I have felt from the beginning that Barack Obama is a globalist, who at his core longs to be loved by and in lockstep with the "world community...

I has a discussion with a dear friend regarding what I thought was President Obama's ill advised comments about the Kanye West debacle. During an off the record moment while preparing for an interview Obama referred to Kanya as a "jackass". My assertion was that out of all the things going on in the world why would the President of the United States even comment on such pop culture none sense? I felt that it was certainly out of his "context" to comment on such a matter. I do not think he should have commented at all. My friends opinion was that it wasn't that big of a deal and that it was only an issue because it was leaked on Twitter by ABC news who was conducting the interview. Well, it feels great to be validated. When asked by ABC's George Stephanopoulos about the recent ACORN scandal. Obama responded with "It's not the most important issue in the country, Its not something I am paying that much attention to". Wouldn't that have...

Rapper Kanye, hip Hop's resident Brat has a well deserved reputation for drama. His outburst during the Hurricane Katrina telethon is legendary. West went off script ranting about the alleged racism of the rescue effort and media coverage and uttered now infamous comment "George Bush don't like black people". Not to mention his other diatribes at award shows about of his perceived slights by the music establishment. This past weekend at the MTV music video awards West outdid himself when he interrupted country singer Taylor Swift's acceptance speech for best video and gave a"shout out" to Beyonce stating she "had the best video of all time". West' hijacking of the 19 year olds moment the spotlight from Swift has earned him an avalanche of scathing criticism for inside and outside of the entertainment industry. Even our President took time out from the health care debate and his work on the economy to weigh in- reportedly calling West ...

I am beginning to think that one of the side effects of Obamania is memory loss. The firestorm that has erupted after Congressman Joe Wilson's outburst during President Obama's Health care address to a joint session of congress. The disputed point made by Obama that seemed to spark Wilson's Ire was the issue of weather or not illegal immigrants would be covered by the public option under Obama's heath care plan. The President says they would not in which Wilson responded with " you Lie"! The actual truth is somewhere in the middle. While illegal aliens would be able to purchase any health insurance run by the Government, they won't be subsidized by the feds to do so. On the other hand, I don't know how in the world Obama thinks the Government will enforce it.This same Government has not been able to prevent prison inmates from receiving stimulus money. The Republicans introduced a bill that would require anyone seeking insurance under any government p...

I have held the belief for quite sometime that the more television news one watches the less informed one is. The non-coverage of the Christian-Newsome murders in Knoxville is a classic illustration. Chris Newsome, 23 and Channon Newsome 21 were out on their first date. According to news reports, Christian and Newsome had gone on a date at a local restaurant on Saturday, January 6, 2007 but did not return home. During their night out the couple was hijacked, bound, blindfolded and taken back to Lemaricus Devall 'Slim' Davidson's rented house on Chipman Street where they were tortured. According to trial testimony of the Knox County acting medical examiner, Newsome was repeatedly raped and then blindfolded, gagged, arms and feet bound and his head covered. Barefoot, he was either led or dragged outside the house to a set of nearby railroad tracks. He was shot in the back of the head, the neck, and the back, and his body then set on fire. Christian's death would come ...
