This wise man is not so wise. Russell Wiseman, the mayor of Arlington, Tennessee, complained about the timing of President Obama's Afghanistan speech. On his Facebook page at that. When will these politicians ever get wise to the fact that if you say anything on a social network, it will spread like kudzu?The Memphis Commercial Appeal reported that Wiseman was upset because the president's speech "was deliberately timed to block the Christmas message of the "Peanuts" television Christmas special.
"Ok, so, this is total crap, we sit the kids down to watch 'The Charlie Brown Christmas Special' and our muslim president is there, what a load.....try to convince me that wasn't done on purpose. Ask the man if he believes that Jesus Christ is the Son of God and he will give you a 10 minute disertation (sic) about it....w...hen the answer should simply be 'yes'...."
In Wiseman's extensive thread that attacked the president, his supporters and Muslims, he stated "...you obama people need to move to a muslim country...oh wait, that's America....pitiful."
And then he turned the Constitution inside out by saying "you know, our forefathers had it written in the original Constitution that ONLY property owners could vote, if that has stayed in there, things would be different........"
Remember that great day when the US Men's Ice Hockey Team defeated the Russians for the Gold Medal? Nearly everyone has forgotten that the TV broadcast took place on a Sunday morning. Fewer ever knew that there was only one TV affiliate in the entire Unitred States of America that chose not to show the game live. Frodo remembers that it was the affiliate in Memphis, Tennessee, that chose instead to broadcast services from the Poplar Street Baptist Church.
ReplyDeleteThat was the day that Frodo promised to move from Memphis, and to turn his rear view mirror around so that he would never have to see that cesspool again.
2,000 years ago Jesus walked the Earth telling people things they didn't want to hear.
ReplyDelete2,000 years later assholes like Wiseman use Jesus to keep from hearing things they don't want to hear.
For 2,000 years zealots and other fools have been telling us Jesus' return is just around the corner. Why would He want to come back to this?
So, Frodo, dear heart, let me get this straight. You leave Memphis and go down to Atlanta? I know it's sort of an oasis in the desert but you are surrounded on all sides by the Wisemans of the world - to say nothing of the traffic there.
ReplyDeleteIf I were Jesus, I wouldn't want to come back here - or there.
I now have an image of Barack Obama sitting behind the Resolute Desk, the desktop covered with copies of TV Guide from all over the country, looking for the day that 'A Charlie Brown Christmas' is running in the most markets just so he can derail it with an Afghanistan speech. It's a funny image, but not terribly likely.
ReplyDeleteWiseman appears to be either a paranoid moron (likely) or a very bad liar who thinks his constituents are very stupid (possible) and I really don't care which.
I think it goes without saying that Wiseman is a moron - perfect name under the circumstances.
ReplyDeleteFrodo did Washington, Nashville, Washington again, New Orleans, Philadelphia, then Atlanta. Learned something in each location, but is positive that the only thing in which Memphis rates higher than any of the others is in the VD rate.
