Some Things Don't Make Sense.

Nation, I'm not saying that I understand everything and that whatever I say goes. That's for you to decide. Anyway, there have been a few things lately that just bug me. They don't necessarily make me angry or furious, but they do exist as minor annoyances that either no one seems to want to express or people just seem to ignore. And I ask you: Am I the only one?

First, this whole issue of liberals vs. conservatives, left vs. right, Democrats vs. Republicans. Now yes, for a few years there, the conservative, Republican was known as the majority. So it was okay for Jon Stewart and co. to call themselves the ones that no one listens to, the ones that get no say, the minority. But now, with Bush's approval rating plummeting to about 29%, the majority of Congress being Democrat, and an overall liberal media, since when can left wings keep playing the sympathy card? I mean, on a daily basis you'll hear, from liberals, how the media covers up Bush, and supports him enough to blind the country. You'll hear about how no one seems to listen to the truth about how badly Iraq is going (which is true, I'm not arguing that). You'll hear how no one seems to believe the fact of global warming. But uh, unless I am sorely mistaken, is that NOT what most of the country, in fact a high percentage of the country, believes? Let's be honest: the country is no longer conservative. The Republicans are out. The media is almost overwhelmingly anti-Bush, anti-government, anti-conservative. I'm not saying that the media is wrong, the country is wrong, everything is wrong. I mean, yes I am a conservative, and while I disagree about some things that left wing people say and do, I'm not putting down anyone's opinions. I'm just saying, to most Democrats, stop acting like the Republican conservative have a huge hold on everything. I DO think we should get out of Iraq; I DO think we should stop spying on our own people; I DO think that global climate change is a problem and we should be a bit more active. But come on. I'm not going to sympathize with the now majority playing the "we're so out-numbered" game anymore. Sorry. Now I'm the minority. SO I know how you feel, how you felt (though I never acted like a bigot [see Nancy Grace, Bill O'Reilly]). In less than two years we'll have a Democrat in office, and then it'll all be alright. But stop acting like you're opinion is discredited by many, because it's not, and I think you know that.

Oh, and by the way, while I do think we do need to watch this global climate change, Global Warming is not a cold-hard "fact." Yeah, we probably did contribute a little bit, but actually, Mars is experiencing a similar global climate change, and I'm pretty sure there aren't any humans there. Oh, and the Earth DOES go through climate cycles. This could be one of them. The REAL fact is that we don't have enough evidence to make a claim about anything. The REAL fact is that we pollute this place so damn much that maybe we DO need to lower CO2 emissions, maybe we DO need to lower sulfur emissions, maybe we DO need to research better ways to obtain energy OTHER than oil.

And, with all this charity work we are doing, it seems like we are slightly forgetting about this little killer, cancer. Just seems like that has taken a backseat to a lot of other causes (again, not that they aren't important; just seems like cancer isn't anymore). That's why I'm glad to see over 40,000 people run in Race for the Cure on Mother's Day. Seriously, I think that's amazing. Astounding, really.

And one more thing. Quite frankly one more person: Carlos Mencia. Um, first of all, how is "Mind of Mencia" still on the air? Second of all, how are blatantly obvious, completely unfunny, overtly racist stereotypes funny? I mean, I've heard SO many "White people are..." or "Black people do..." that actually are funny because they are DIFFERENT. But, "White people go camping. How rich are you, that you like to pretend you're broke for a weekend?" is not only completely stupid, but it's just wrong. Ummm...not many "rich" people go camping, and that joke is so hackneyed, so tired that I vomit every time I hear it. And since when can we just go completely racist (and be just so so so so so so so so unfunny) and then say it's okay, oh right, because HE isn't white? I mean, have you listened to his jokes? Like I said before, I can't believe he is still on the air. Is THIS the substitute for Chappelle? Oh right, Chappelle's show was ACTUALLY funny, so let's just take it off the air, and replace it with a show that is racist in a horrible, unfunny, stereotypical way. THAT'S good marketing. Basically, I just don't understand why Carlos Mencia has that show. Maybe his earlier stand-up specials were slightly amusing, but this show just blows.

Senseless...
