HI,
AS YOU MAY IMAGINE THIS BLOGGER IS A FIRM BELIEVER IN FREEDOM OF SPEECH AND A FIRM NON-BELIEVER IN LOSS OF RESPECT FOR NATIONAL LEADERS AND PERSONS DESERVING RESPECT FOR THEIR CALLING OR PROMINENCE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THAT NOTION OF RESPECT INCLUDES COMEDIANS WHO THINK THEIR FREEDOM OF SPEECH IS ABOVE AND BEYOND THE RULES FOR RESPECT !!!!!!!!!!!!!! HOW ARROGANT AND IGNORANT CAN ONE ASPIRE TO BE ??????????THE RANK RATING IS RESPECTED BY A MAJORITY OF OTHERS!!!!!!!!!! THERE IS NO EXCUSE FOR ANYONE BELIEVING THEY HAVE A RIGHT TO UNDERMINE IT EVEN WHEN THEY DISAGREE WITH THE SUBJECT OR DISLIKE HIM/HER AND/OR THEIR POLICIES... IT BECOMES ONLY THE IGNORANCE OF THE SPEAKER WHICH SHOWS !!!!!!!!!!!!!
NOT SHOWING RESPECT DOES NOT REQUIRE RESTRICTION OF SPEECH !!!!!!!!!!!! IT IS ONLY NECESSARY TO BECOME A REALLY GOOD HUMORIST AND INTELLIGENT SPEAKER!!!!!!!!!!!! UNFORTUNATELY MANY COMEDIANS LACK THE VIRTUES OF GOOD AND EMINENTLY QUOTABLE HUMOR LIKE THESE TWO OLD BUT GOOD EXAMPLES. THESE TWO "BON MOTS" SHOW HOW THE INTELLIGENT AND WISE MANAGE INSULTS WHILE STILL STAYING NOMINALLY RESPECTFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
DOROTHY PARKER HELPED KILL THE CANDIDACY OF THOMAS DEWEY, WHO WAS RUNNING AGAINST HARRY TRUMAN. PARKER SAID OF DEWEY, "HE LOOKS LIKE THE GROOM ON TOP OF A WEDDING CAKE" THE CONTRAST WITH TRUMANS' COMMON MAN LOOKS COULD NOT HAVE BEEN STRONGER.
LADY ASTOR SAID TO WINSTON CHURCHILL "IF I WAS YOUR WIFE I WOULD PUT POISON IN YOUR TEA" AND SIR CHURCHILL SAID " IF I WAS YOUR HUSBAND I WOULD DRINK IT."
A FAMOUS ACTRESS SAID TO GEORGE BERNARD SHAW "WE COULD GET MARRIED AND OUR CHILD WOULD HAVE YOUR BRAINS AND MY BEAUTY" AND SHAW REPLIED "BUT MY DEAR, WHAT IF HE HAD MY BEAUTY AND YOUR BRAINS?"
THE LACK OF RESPECT A RECENT AMERICAN COMEDIAN SHOWED PRESIDENT TRUMP IN A MONOLOG THAT INCLUDED PROFANITY WAS AN INDICATION OF THE LACK OF INTELLIGENCE AND DEFT MANIPULATION OF SPEECH BY THE SO-CALLED COMEDIAN
MANY FINE AMERICAN COMEDIANS HAVE HAD THE ABILITY TO DELIVER AN INSULT WITHOUT COMMON CRUDENESS AND WITH SUCCINCT BREVITY.
UNFORTUNATELY A COMEDIAN WHO CANNOT SKILLFULLY HANDLE LANGUAGE MARKS HIMSELF/HERSELF AS A BRIEF ON STAGE CONTENDER AND SHOULD BE SEEKING ANOTHER PROFESSION PERHAPS THE LAW SINCE THE NEED TO DEFEND ONE'S WORDS WILL BE CONSTANT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
PART OF THE PROBLEM, OF COURSE, WAS DEVELOPED IN SEVERAL GENERATIONS OF THE YOUNG WHO WANTED TO OVERCOME THE NICE-NICE WITH THE VULGAR OR CRUDE .IT BECAME EMINENTLY FASHIONABLE AMONG THE YOUNG TO USE THE "F" WORD FOR EVERYTHING EVEN WHEN IT HAD NO MEANING OTHER THAN AS AN ADJECTIVE OR INSULT !!!!!!!!!!!!
THAT DESIRE CERTAINLY HELPED THE LESS INTELLGENT SINCE THEIR VOCABULARY WAS SEVERELY REDUCED AND SHOCK VALUE SEVERELY INCREASED !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!AND EVERYTHING FROM SEX TO ROOSTERS WAS DEEMED COLORFUL WITH THE "F" WORD !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HOWEVER LIMITING !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
UNFORTUNATELY ( OR FORTUNATELY) IT HAS ALSO BECOME THE SNOOZE FACTOR IN CONVERSATION !!!!!!!!!!!!!! NO LONGER SHOCKING, NO LONGER UNFAMILIAR TO ANYONE OVER FOUR YEARS OF AGE AND NO LONGER EVEN EXCITING, IT HANGS IN THE AIR LIKE A LOOSE SHOT GONE WILD.
AH WELL, CRUDE IS AS CRUDE DOES FOR THE IGNORANT AND POORLY SPOKEN.
TITLES ARE EARNED AND SOME ARE VERY DAUNTING SCHOLASTICALLYY LIKE DOCTORS, LAWYERS, AND COLLEGE PROFESSORS. REVERENDS, NUNS. MILITARY AND POLICE OFFICERS HAVE CAREER STUDY AND JUDGES, GOVERNORS., OTHER HIGH RANKING POLIITICIANS INCLUDING THE PRESIDENT AND VICE PRESIDENT HAVE VARIED SCHOLASTIC AND BUSINESS BACKGROUNDS AS WELL AS POLITICAL EXPERTISE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! MOST POLITICIANS HAVE EARNED THEIR WAY IN THE WORLD OR IN POLITICS.
THE TITLES ARE A SYMBOL OF HONOR AND SHOULD ALWAYS BE USED WHETHER YOU LIKE OR ADMIRE THE PERSON EVEN WHEN HE/SHE HAS BEEN IN LEGAL TROUBLE. THESE ARE NOT EVERY DAY ORDINARY SOULS BUT FOLKS WHO HAVE EARNED THE PRIVILEGE OF RANK.
RESPECT IS NOT SOMETHING THAT SHOULD BE DISREGARDED OR THROWN AWAY.IT IS PART OF THE LEVERAGE THAT HELPS THE WORLD MAKE SENSEAND SORTS OUT
THE WHEAT FROM THE CHAFF AS THE FARMERS USED TO SAY.
DON'T DESTROY THE THINGS WE NEED WITH CARELESS AND USELESS SNIDE HUMOR THAT DOESN'T REALLY SERVE THE PURPOSE INTENDED !!!!!!!!!!!! THE MOST IMPORTANT TITLE IN THIS COUNTRY IS PRESIDENT--DON'T DEMEAN IT OR YOU'RE NOT A HUMORIST BUT AN ARROGANT FOOL !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
SUCK IT UP AND GROW UP, TAKE YOUR LOSSES IN STRIDE, AND HONOR THE ROLE IF NOT THE INDVIDUAL. AT TIMES IT'S NECESSARY FOR ALL OF US !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
CHEERS, CONNIE
