Sacred Cow & False Idol

Bernie Goldberg on Fox News


It is time — no, make that long past time — to pay tribute to those this nation of ours owes a great debt; to those who give and give and give and in return get anything but our gratitude.

This is an idea whose time has finally come.

Right there, amongst the sacred national structures that honor great Americans, we need to build a shiny monument to … (this is where the drum roll would come in) The Rich – otherwise known in liberal circles as the filthy, no good, greedy, heartless rich.

The statue could be simple and elegant: a smiling rich guy in a business suit holding hundred dollar bills in both hands, extended toward the blue sky.

1. I would be thinking more of
a bald guy in a wheelchair who looks like Lionel Barrymore. That might send a different message, eh?

2. They're not even pretending or hiding it anymore, are they?

3. There are lots of monuments out there to the rich
Most cities have statues of some such benefactor. On the other hand, there are statues of unknown soldiers, too. My town has a civil rights leader's statute.

5. Hell, they already have a popular game, Monopoly...
By far a large majority of all Presidents were rich, and to show it they have been reincrnated as money.

How many more testaments to their assets do we need?

Even our gratest writers recognized that difference...

F. Scott Fitzgerald: "The very rich are different from you and me."
Ernest Hemingway: "Yes, they have more money."

6. People actually quoted Bernie Goldberg's book "proving" that the media was liberal
What a puswad. He is a traitor and a betrayer of democracy with is destructive propaganda and exploitation of the weak-minded and ill-informed.
