Hello My Name is _____ and I'm a Celebri-Holic!

Did anybody else notice that one the main headlines on Yahoo news the other day was “Britney and sons visit Louisiana”? My question to Yahoo news is…why the heck do I care? That’s one of the biggest problems in this nation. For some reason, we are so fascinated with celebrities and their everyday lives. Obviously, a massive majority of them are liberals and never say anything meaningful as to why that is. The fact is, that most of them are great looking, some funny, and some great musicians, and those are the qualities that many Americans would like to have. Unfortunately, we don’t leave it at that, and listen to the stupid things that they have to say and try to believe it ourselves. For example, I was flipping through a “People” magazine a couple months ago and Scarlett Johansson was quoted as saying something like: “Obama is change and embodies change. Change is what this country needs”. I’m sure that if you had had asked her what he was going to change, she would have answered as any Obama supporter would and say, well I don’t know specifically, but he’s not George Bush. Sure, change can be good! I changed my clothes today when I got out of bed, that’s all good and fine, but all that Obama ran his campaign on was that one word, not what it was he was going to change, nor how.

Other than the reasons that I mentioned earlier, why are we so impressed with these people? Sure their talents and looks are nice but their intelligence obviously isn’t. Why do many celebrities do stupid things intending to be in the spotlight, and then get angry when they are on the front pages of magazines for those stupid things? Why the heck do I care about where George Clooney is going on vacation? I might go see his latest movie, I might not, but I don’t need to know every aspect of his life because I just don’t care. I’m so sick though of all of these celebrities jumping on the Obama bandwagon. Did you hear that Oprah has been “unleashed” since the election? I understand her perspective that it means a lot to her that an African American man will be the next president, but the fact that many voted for him only because of that is just wrong.

One of the few good things that is going to come out of this election is that Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton should never be heard from again. I’m so sick and tired of them playing the race card every single time that they have the opportunity. How about when Jesse Jackson said that the “n word” should be banned from the English language and then used it to describe Obama. Now he is supposedly happy that Obama won, but he’s probably actually upset because he knows he doesn’t have any credibility anymore. I really don’t care about what color Obama is. He could be green, purple, orange, or yellow. He could be a Smurf for all I care! The question is whether or not he can lead the country and there is no reason to believe that he can. Another one of the few good things that this will bring about might be a renewal of common sense in this nation. Conservative talk show hosts like Mike McConnell love it when democrats are in the White House and Congress because it makes their jobs more fun. Now that the President and Congress are both democratic, it’s time for them to put their money where their mouth is. They have nothing to complain about, and the conservative talk show hosts and journalists have the ability and listeners to point that out.

The media, however, will not be unfair to Obama the way that they have been to George W. Bush. They’re all liberal, and they helped to put him there so it would only make them look bad. Of course I wish that the election had gone differently, but the fact that it didn’t means that people are going to see who Obama really is! Look back across this campaign and realize how much the media tore Sarah Palin apart, and left alone the countless items that could have cost Obama the election. For example, why is it that Sarah Palin was criticized for wearing expensive clothing that she never asked for, but they didn’t put the spotlight on Michelle Obama on the same issue? Certain democrats even made claims that Sarah Palin’s youngest child was not her child! These claims are all unfounded with not a shred of evidence, but you would be torn apart if you suggested the same was true of the Obamas. Not only that, she TRIED to tell the media that Trig was her baby but they wanted us to believe that he wasn’t, so they lead us to believe that the baby wasn't hers! The media was especially tough on Palin after her interview with Katie Couric, because everybody thought that the interview was only six minutes long. However, the interview was actually two hours long, and they picked the worst six minutes of that interview to make her look bad. Then, Obama and Biden say all kinds of stupid things that nobody ever hears about, because it’s not important. When George Stephanopoulos, in an interview with Obama, made the comment commending McCain for not questioning his Christian beliefs, Obama replied, you’re right, he hasn’t questioned my Muslim beliefs, and Stephanopoulos had to remind him that he said Christian, not Muslim beliefs! Oops!!! We’ll just let that one slide, and not make that a major news story. We would rather take a pair of scissors to the interview that Katie Couric had with Palin and destroy her image!

It’s too late now though, and America has spoken. We now have a new leader and our enemies are licking their chops. Whether or not we will face another terrorist attack in the next four years, I honestly believe that there will be more attempts, even if they are stopped. I hope that I am wrong, but that’s why all of our enemies are so happy that we elected him. But as someone recently told me, God had a reason for allowing this to happen and we’re just going to have to give it time to find out what that reason was. As difficult as it is might be, we just need to pray for the man, because I could be wrong, and he might actually be good for the country. Thank you for taking the time to read this and enjoy your day.
