Keith Olbermann, a political commentator that I highly respect, made a very startling comment last night on his show. Keith, his idiotic political positions aside, will sometimes make a statement that brings one to a sobering reality. While flinging a well deserved criticism against the Bush Administration for its many idiotic policies made a very profound choice of words. Those words were, “Police State.”
Either Keith is just willfully stupid or simply badly misinformed. It is a known fact that Democrats are for a police 
state. The whole idea of social justice, Government sponsored or controlled healthcare, Government controlled or owned oil companies, is, in fact, a de facto tenet of big government, more specifically it is the direct tenet of Communism. The Democratic Party and its many socialist minions want to control and contain Christianity. They would destroy it, but the Conservative grass roots movement would not allow it.
Let me be clear, I do not believe in the idea of a theocratic Government. A theocratic Government excludes segments of society, and I am not excluding anyone at all. What I am for is a secular Government that allows for Individual and personal freedom, Freedom to practice, of choice of, and from Religion, Freedom of Speech, without conditions. Democrats and Republicans BOTH believe in freedom of speech, as long as it conforms to their political, religious, and personal ideologies. That is not true freedom of speech. That is freedom of speech with conditions, which is NOT what our constitution gives us.
I will give Olbermann a little credit here he does recognize this current President Administration as an out of control Neo-Conservative imperialistic Presidency. Keith likes to call them Fascists; I personally do not think that is the correct terminology to use. This terminology one could use in the fact that Bush did attempt to suppress dissent of his execution of the Iraq War. However, I digress.
My biggest issues with Keith Olbermann are as follows:
First is his inability to realize that the U.S. Military working at the pentagon are in fact just as much military personnel, as the ones working in the battlefield in Iraq. What Keith fails to realize is that most of the people in the pentagon are just doing that which those higher in power tell them. So, it does tend to annoy me a bit when Keith Olbermann tells the officers in the United States Military to “Go to hell”, as he has said in the past. It simply strikes me as hypocritical to say you support the troops in one breath and tell them to go to hell in another.
Second is his grand delusion that somehow the Democratic Party is going to be some sort of wonderful alternative to the Republicans. Speaking strictly on the terms of a police state, the socialist movement is the premier advocate of governmental control. This is, considered by many, to be a police state and could in fact turn into a police state at a drop of a hat.
Thirdly Keith throwing under the bus a Washington Post columnist who, frankly, decided to think for himself and not follow the chorus line of praises, from the so-called objective media. This shows a bad case of bias, and frankly makes Keith look quite unprofessional.
Then again, this is someone who supports a “Police State,” So, what can one expect from him?
