Awardi Liberali

When I was a kid, I had a lot of respect and awe for the winners of the Nobel Prizes, Pulitzer Prizes, Emmies and Oscars. I watched the latter every year with bated breath. [I also voted for Miss Rheingold] For they were all awards for excellence in my young eyes.

As I grew older [past 12], I realized that there were a lot of somethings wrong with these awards. [Of course, not the Miss Rheingold election---that was one of real consequence.] Reality grew on me slowly---but it did grow. And now, I see so much Liberal crap tied up into these awards---well, they are virtually worthless in my estimation. C'mon now! An award of excellence for Al Gore? Sally Fields a relevant voice?

Now, we know that a lot of Liberals get these awards for being Liberal and promoting Liberal propaganda. Can't refute that. Do a little research, and you'll find the processes disgustingly unfair and slanted with just that result. Oscars, Emmies, Pulitzers, Nobels---all in the hands of Liberals these days. Consequently, the awards are not effort-driven but politically-correct-Liberalism driven.

I've tried to watch, listen to, or read columns and articles by some of these prominent Liberals: Cynthia Tucker; William Raspberry; Michael Moooore; Maureen Dowd; Al Frankenstein; Ellen Goodman; Anthony Lewis; Tom Wicker---and of course those delightfully sensitive whackos on the radio, Don Imus and Howard Stern.] I can't do it. They turn me off very quickly with the misinformation, assumption of divinity, vitriol in their hate of anything Republican or Conservative [or in some cases, common decency], and basically poor or gutter-like writing or communicating skills. And they're often hypocrites. Remember when William Raspberry wrote columns that promoted gun control and getting all guns off the street and out of the hands of citizens? It was shortly thereafter that he was arrested for having an unlicensed gun in his possession---and of course, he was released quickly with a slap on the wrist, and the story was conspicuously missing from the Liberal Press after the first, small print revelations. [I imagine if he had been a Conservative columnist, we'd still be hearing and reading about it.]

Liberal Mantra: do what I say, not what I do. And the mantra is normally written by its propagandists in many forms. I recently visited the Daily Kos---soiling my mind---and found little there but the usual vitriol against Bush and the Republicans and---oh yes, some reporting of rumors in an attempt to find someone [other than the shooter] to blame for the VA Tech tragedy. For each issue---or non-issue---occurring or reported about on the National scene, the Kos Kids empty their spleens with vitriolic rants of hate and venom against the assumed enemy. Blindness there is an asset.

Yes, Liberals do, as a rule, write nonsense, and they shouldn't be awarded anything for it. Some see an improvement in their grammar and basic skills as the years progress---but most don't. I wouldn't even give them an 'A' for effort because they usually fall flat in truth and reality.

I found out recently an Australian scientist claims that cremation is causing global warming [the furnaces, you know] and we should bury our dead in cardboard boxes underneath trees so the decomposing bodies can nourish them to great heights. I can just see Uncle Fred's countenance budding on a hundred branches. Owwwww! Anyway, isn't there a scientific award just for him? [The scientist, not Uncle Fred.] The Al Gore Award for Scientific Accuracy? Or the Michael Moooore 'Truth' in Liberal 'Science' Award?

One political blog poster claims that, since 'the left controls the awards, left wing writers should be winning most of them.' Well, the last time I checked, being a Liberal [in its current or recent manifestation] was not among the original criteria for any of these awards. As I remember it, the word "Excellence" was always bandied about. And there aren't any Liberals of excellence---or at least I haven't come across any. Propaganda is NOT excellence. So again, why no excellent Conservative writers in the chase? Too sane for the judges?

I once owned a book store, and after Maya Angelou won the Pulitzer prize, I tried to read her books of poems and autobiography. They are unreadable, uninteresting, and definitely not worth the time invested. I found the same problems with other Liberal authors---whose books never sold.

Let's get back to 'excellence' instead of 'ideology' as the basis for awards. And, personally, I think my blog should receive and award from Joe Pulitzer or somebody. At least it's not Liberal.
