Default "Honor the Jackson Five"

The publicity that surrounded Michael Jackson's death rubbed a lot of people the wrong way, including the relatives of 1st Lieutenant Brian Bradshaw, who was killed in Afghanistan on the same day that Jackson died. They had a hard time understanding why our news media, in its non-stop hysteria over Jackson's demise, had so little attention to spare--none, actually--for Lt. Bradshaw and others who gave their lives in a cause even more noble than moonwalking.


I can't answer their question, but I'm happy to pass on an email I received today from Move America Forward. The email is titled, "Honor the Jackson Five." Only this "Jackson Five" are the first five American servicemen and women named Jackson who gave their lives in Iraq. For some reason it doesn't appear on their web site, so I'm reproducing the email as a series of three screen shots

We allow morally bankrupt degenerates to prosper in this country and justify it because they entertain us.
We overlook outrages behavior which many times is criminal, simply because the person is famous, wealthy or has some sort of talent.
And while I am on the subject, I wish we could watch TV during prime time without having commercials about limp peckers, vaginal odor, penis enlargement, diarrhea, PMS, feminine napkins/tampons, constipation or any other human bodily function which is inappropriate to discuss in front of small children at the supper table. Thank the drug companies pushing this on us. The side affects of their drug is worse then the ailment and we have to hear all that by some speed talker. Did he just say your pecker might fall off? Your heart might explode?
The media keeps producing so called "politically correct" shows which have to shock people. Foul language, homo sexual behavior, adultery, blood and guts seem to be the standard recipe to produce a TV show.
I have watched some fine movies and all of a sudden one of the actors has to drop the "F" bomb at least one time in the entire movie. One "F" word in the entire movie? This makes no sense. For what purpose? Can't we be entertained without this?

And one more point, I don't give a rat turd which candidate some rich singer or actor endorses during an election.
What qualifies any of them to give an opinion? Enjoy all your millions and keep your mouth shut.

I AM DONE FOR NOW... sorry if I offended anyone, probably a drug you can buy for it.

And they wonder why our country is going down the tubes. Our kids believe everything they see on TV. Our country does not have a money problem only a moral problem.

Living in America! So you are hating on Mike Huh! Do you know how many people died just because two people did not see eye to eye over time. Just look at all of the wars from the past. I was just looking at somethings around the house and 90% was made overseas and in countries that were enemies at the time. You have to look at another game that the media is playing to and that's the old moral routine. As the plan works you always show that more of the enemy is KIA than on your side. This makes the new recruits think it's just a cake walk. If they go around and parade the deaths of soldiers overseas they recruiters would have a very hard time. That is just the cold truth. Mike is just used to direct your attention away from what you are not wanted see. Abra Cadabra! Poof!

Hey! Maybe if we bring slavery back we can pull out of this hole. What happen to all that money from the 200+ years of free labor. Money spent and no more credit cards.LOL
