"Fewer Slobs Now Working at Der Staat"
Re: http://www.fitsnews.com/2010/01/13/la-socialista-fires-another-dozen-employees/comment-page-1/#comment-82367
So the ship of The State is sinking even lower?
I suppose miserable Bradwart Hen will have some company, then.
Maybe all the fired employees can meet in a barn and put on a show to raise money for a printing press so they can start their very own fascist propaganda rag!
I can hear them now:
“Golly-gee-willikers, that would be swell!
“Wadda ya say, gang?”
I appealed repeatedly to Bradwart when he was still employed at Der Staat to get up off his fascist-socialist rear and actively pursue the corruption in the statehouse but he just wouldn't get off his butt. He was too comfy hobnobbing. And he didn't want to make his big government butties cry.
Instead of aspiring to be Thomas Paine, he modeled himself after Caspar Milquetoast. Now his bland, wallpaper paste journalism has made him just as unremarkable and just as unnoticed.
I have no trouble with the press advocating political stands. If not for a (truly) free and adversarial press, we'd have had no revolution to establish this country. I'll argue with them over which stands they advocate and the logic of their politics but they're perfectly free to be whey want.
My biggest problem with Der Staat is that they let the crooks in the statehouse get away with murder. I just can't believe that they won't, AT LEAST from a survival standpoint, work to make a positive difference and thereby make themselves an essential part of the conversation. They could have increased their readership to the point that NO ONE would have been fired from there.
Instead, they treat their jobs as, well, JOBS. They're just a bunch of working slobs who come in to work and do what they have to do to get by.
And that's it.
They don't take risks. There's nothing combustible about them. You can't even use their paper to start a fire.
There should be a mission. They should be after the TRUTH no matter where that takes them.
Instead, intellectual wallpaper hangers like Bradwart just added more layers of BS that rationalized his big government, socialist/fascist stands in the context of what one politician wanted vs. what another wanted and another wanted and so on. He seems to have forgotten about the law and tangled himself up in the intrigue of favors and political agenda items in which he had long ago determined to be a player.
Bradwart could have taken a hammer to the statehouse instead and exposed the broken sewer pipes behind one wall after another. But nooooo! He thought a few more layers of paper and perfumed words will make the air as fresh as Lindsey's Graham's posterior (which he STILL likes and wishes people would quit picking on it--he has a prior claim on the privilege of eating all the fleas).
Though partially a victim of the times and the technology, Der Staat has only accelerated its decline rather taking a bold stand against corruption. The people working there have made the paper just another outlet for, and enabler of, the corruption by their implicit approval of the institutionalized corruption in our political system which they refuse to report on to any real depth.
