Flava Flav!!! God Help Us!

Flipping through late-night TV while I tried to unwind at work, I happened on reruns of "Flava of Love." Of course, this is the second or third season where Flava Flav is looking for his true love. Then, I got to thinking...

Why is this guy so popular?

Why are so many attractive women fighting to be with this guy?

Why is he relavent today?

I don't get people. I really don't get what the big deal is that everyone just thinks that this idiot is so great. the guy looks like a cockroach with a stupid clock handing from his neck and a moronic crown on his shrunken head.

And women fight to be with him

Which shows me something about women today. Most women...MOST, not all...are more competitive than any man ever dreamed. If you put 50 women on an island and only one man...they would kill each other for his attention. It doesn't matter if he looked like the ugly dude that was in the dungeon in the movie "The Three Musketeers," (the Charlie Sheen, Chris O'Donnell, Oliver Platt, Keifer Sutherland version from the 90's...if you've seen it, you know who I am talking about.) It wouldn't matter if he was some homless bum with a matted beard and greasy hair...if he was the only man, the women on the island would throw themselves at him like he was the world's biggest stud muffin.

Which leads me to another conclusion. Sadly, in our society, despite the feminine movement and everything, women today have no self-esteem. Because of the way they are portrayed on TV, in movies, and in music videos, women are shown to have no value unless they are sleeping with someone. So, when you limit their choices to one man, they automatically need his attention to feel self worth. Even a goof like me, who has no chance of walking into a club and being chosen over every other guy there, could be coveted by the most attractive women if you make it a competition.

Women cannot stand rejection, even if it is by someone they ordinarily wouldn't want. Women cannot stand to lose, even if the competition isn't something they would logically want to win. Women cannot stand to be left out of the circle of attention.

These are generalized statements...there are some women out there who are strong enough to rise above letting how men use them to determine their self-worth. However, they care constantly attacked for feeling that way and for standing up for what they feel.

I just think our society is in very serious trouble. I think women need to value themselves as more than walking, talking blow-up dolls and find men who treat them as such. And more men need to start thinking above the belt...

But what do I know?

About Me...And This Blog Site...

My name is David A. Ebert, the oldest of two siblings produced by my parents, Leah and David G. Ebert. We are all Republicans, but I take it a toke or two...well, closer to 10 tokes...further than my parents,

I am very much a Right Wing Conservative. I am a Reagan Conservative. I believe Americans, in general, are smarter than elected officials in Washington, DC. We should be more in charge than the Government.

We, as individuals and families, should have more responsibility over our own, hard-earned money and not send more and more and more taxes to the out-of-touch politicians. I believe the government is there to serve us, and not us to serve them.

I believe in America's greatness and that, overall, we are the most generous, forgiving, intelligent, and genuinely decent country in the world. I also believe that we are the most powerful nation in the history of the world, but do not use that power to hold over the collective heads of other nations.

I believe that low taxes, intelligent spending of those tax revenues, strong initiatives on defense and education, and small government influence on the day-to-day lives of Americans are some of the most important ideals related to how the US should be operated.I believe in the freedoms granted by the US Constitution. I believe that judges should uphold and interpret the laws as written in the US Constitution, and not refer to any foreign legislation to make their historic decisions.

I believe the First Amendment, as well as the entire Bill of Rights, are the most important laws this world has ever seen.

I believe abortion is WRONG. I believe that homosexuality is WRONG. I believe that allowing anyone to publicly debate the possibility of lowering the age of consent, especially for young boys to consent to older men, is a tragedy of morality. I believe that organizations like NAMBLA should be publicly shunned and not given a platform to spew their harmful and dangerous rhetoric.

I believe there is a sad lacking in the ability of our nation to appreciate and accept self responsibility. We, as a nation, blame daddy, racism, sexism, classism, mommy, the mean teacher, the mean little league coach, the loud mouthed uncle, the financial status of the neighborhood in which we grew up in, and a million and one other reasons why we do not succeed. How often do we, as a nation, take the blame for our own mistakes? How often do you hear someone accept responsibility for their own mistakes? How often?

I am conservative. I am worried about the future of the country and the planet, especially if O-BOMB-A or Billary Clinton make it to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. I will start posting my fears, my hopes, my ideas as they all relate to news and politics. I hope to open some eyes and change some opinions with my writings. Most of all, I hope you will read my words and be inspired to find the truth...and not rely on Chris Matthews or Keith Olberman or Katie Couric or Matt Lauer for your opinions. I hope you will break the mold and do something unreal...unexpected...do something that O-BOMB-A and Billary are afraid of you doing...

THINK FOR YOURSELF.
