Hypocrisy, Stephen A. Smith and Tiger Woods

What hypocrisy exactly is the sports shock jock Stephen A. Smith relative to the Tiger Woods adulterous spectacle ranting about that the American people will not put up with or forgive?

Is it the hypocrisy of a U.S. Constitution that reads and codifies that Black People are "Three Fifths Persons" and to date, despite the Civil War, despite the Fourteenth Amendment, U.S. Presidency of a Black Barack Obama, still reads unchanged, unrevised that Black People are "Three Fifths Persons"?

Is it the hypocrisy of multi-national corporations having moral-clauses in endorsement and sponsorship contracts when the behavior and general practices of the multi-national entities if not specifically misanthropic is generally a crude vulgar exploitation of ends and means?

Is it the hypocrisy of a Stephen A. Smith's pronouncement on the Tiger Woods spectacle at the expense of the salient point that the nations pastime is hypocrisy.  A hypocrisy fueled by the opportunity of an infinitude of motives, which in the Tiger Woods case is money, money, money.  But then again isn't Value and it's money medium the facilitator of the Human Condition?

Nidal Malik Hasan, The NRA and the Pro Gun, Concealed

English: Major Nidal Malik Hasan, Fort Hood shooter (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

Nidal Malik Hasan and his  Fort Hood shooting rampage has left shreds one of the more appetizing favorables for the NRA (National Rifle Association) Pro Gun lobby, which was simply, mass killings and shootings are less likely to occur if people are armed, particularly with concealed weapons.

Just as the pro Capital Punishment deterrent argument has per virture of the homicide and murder continuum been exposed as a mere irrelevant veneer.

Nidal Malik Hasan's rampage, killing thirteen and wounding thirty-one in a location, a U.S. Military base where in principle and deed favored the NRA, Pro Gun, concealed weapons argument has so simplistically and casually exposed it as romantic fancy.

Corporate Media, Accountability and Hubris

Who takes Corporate Media to task on it's shortcomings?  Who denigrates and sanctimoniously castigates Corporate Media?

Who holds Corporate Media accountable when it is revealed as it happened during the lead up to the Iraq War that Corporate Media was shamelessly in bed with the Bush Administration.  Actively being a fifth column for a world view that is as decadent, flawed as the self-centeredness of hubris.

John McCain and His CNN Enabled Bizarre Parallel Presidency After his Loss Of The Actual Presidency

I nominate Rep. Joe Sestak (D) of Pennsylvania as a counter voice to the megalomaniac ravings, obscenely spewed by the Napoleonic complex affected John McCain.

John McCain is not a valid and progressive voice on military matters.  He wasn't even able to keep his hide out of  the clutches of the technologically inferior North Vietnamese.  His constant yammering condescending opinions on tactical gambits of the Obama Administration's military strategies is a selfish nuisance that is devoid of and as a matter of fact, a forfeiture of whatever margins it claims.

John McCain is a  mediocre intellect and his inability to excell without exploiting his Prisoner of War experience reinforces it.  He was a failure at Annapolis.  He erred gravely and was sanctioned by his Senate colleagues in a matter of influence peddling.  He failed at his Presidential runs.  He recklessly solicited and picked an unstable illiterate to be the President of the United States in case John McCain had won the Presidency and was subsequently incapacitated.

Notwithstanding all the above.  Corporate media and CNN enables his mediocrity by providing him with the platform to run a bizarre parallel Presidency after his loss of the legitimate actual Presidency.

Tiger Woods, Adultery, Jaded Cynicism and the Right and Wrong Side of History Critique

Tiger Woods and his adultery reminds us that there is this revisionary apathy and condescending nonchalance within the public at large towards adultery and infidelity committed by Politicians and Pop Celebrities.

Naturally there are the jaded fringes of the public domain who for whatever reason have lost their historical moorings.  But jaded cynicism and it's wormlike virulence aside isn't reason enough for empirical revision of why the Human Condition proscribes adultery, infidelity, disloyalty and all those wormlike imperatives that mock the historicity of the right and wrong side of history critique.

To those jaded cynics who claim subjective tendencies and that anything goes Liberal-Impetuousness of behavior:  Let us remind them that the utility of loyalty and fidelity is the very lattice of the Human Condition and it's history.

Goldline.com and The Value of Gold as Infantile Panic Revision

Goldline.com says the government "can't print more Gold" and in one swoop, Goldline.com plugs it's product which is Gold while taking a reactionary swipe at the Obama Administrations  economic impetus.

Goldline.com neglects to advise that while liquidity is of print functionality, the value of Gold is relative and dependent on the very same forces acting on liquidity.  The value of Gold presumed as an oppositionary factor on liquidity is mere infantile panic revision that has nothing to do with the realistic access of value.

"Common Sense", Republican-Conservatism, The 9-11 Five and What is War

During the 18th century, Thomas Paine in his work "Common Sense" dared the 13 Colonies to resist the British Monarchy.  This isn't opportunistic hyperbole, but when a sizable amount of modern America, legatees of Thomas Paine's "Common Sense" are led as Lemmings Over Cliffs of  reason by the likes of Rudy Giuliani and a Republican-Conservatism cabal of criticism.  Under pronouncements that were a Trial of Terror-Suspects now held at the Guantanamo Bay Detention pens held at Federal Criminals Courts it would in essence be cataclysmic for the nation.  The question has to be defiantly stated.  What exactly is becoming of "Common Sense".

This cabal of criticism in opposition to the Obama Administration intent of trying the 9-11 Five at Federal Criminals Courts postures a couple of points purportedly as well reasoned arguments against the trials,

• The 9-11 Act was one of War and as such Civilian-Criminal Court is the wrong venue.

The clear response to this primary argument is simply this: If 9-11 was an Act of War, then it's Actors cannot and should no more be tried than the actors and orchestrator's of the Iraq War, Battle for Fallujah and if 9-11 was an Act of War, then the World Trade Center was a valid, legitimate, military target, one which America's enemies targeted.  And enemy soldiers or "enemy Combatants" are not held accountable for Acts of War unless there is clear genocidal specificity as historic war accountability.

• The secondary and corollarial argument that a Civil-Criminal Court venue presents the 9-11 Five a forum to propagate their views.

This point of view is also ludicrous.  The world views held by the 9-11 Five are equal to the world views of the Ku Klux Klan and other supremacist groups who are allowed and tacitly enabled by Republican-Conservatism to propagate their ravings unfettered.

Thomas Paine's "Common Sense" was a shock to the 18th century body politic, a positive shock because it put in stark contrast the relevant emotional resource.

At it's contemporary expense.  Rudy Giuliani, those misguided 9-11 victim families and Republican-Conservatism opportunity have some how as Lemmings Going Over Cliffs lost their Darwinian motive and in a panic stricken flail substituted emotional irrelevancies as "Common Sense" simply for political opportunity and war mongering.
