Lets all be Canadian....



I often wonder about the world and worry about the people that stand front and center evoking the sense, belief, and principals of another great person for their own selfish purpose.



#1)Sean Hannity



I have never been a fan of organized religion, but I understand the faith. I believe in a higher being and I believe that my mother looks down upon me. Sometimes grimacing, but looking nonetheless. I admit that I never watch a entire Sean Hannity program, and truthfully I don't really care about his politics, or agenda when it comes to getting more viewers. (remember it is a TV show and first and foremost he needs ratings to continue.) I also don't really have a huge problem with FOX NEWS, because I don't watch it. It's there for a certain demographic and I'm not one of them. For the longest time I hated Bill O'Reilly, but I realized that he's just a douche bag trying to stay atop the cable news opinion ratings. He's a walking oxymoron and when you realize that, he ain't so bad. I also like that he will go on shows that he knows don't agree with him, and audience members don't like him. It shows some balls. Sean Hannity does something that no man without the last name Christ should do. He drags the Bible, and Christianity through the mud in order to perpetuate his own motives. And I thought there was something in there about "false idols"? This blasphemous ex-contractor continually makes comment like "America is the greatest country God ever gave man" As if God took a pencil and drew up the countries long before pilgrims landed. (where someone already lived!! another blog) I think the people that should be really angry are the people of America that deem themselves religious. Don't you realize that a man on a nationally televised program is interrupting your scripture to sell tickets. He claims to love his country and his God, but has ranked the two of them in the same sentence, America coming first. By doing so it not only makes him an extremist of Christianity, but a butcher of their constitution.



#2) Glenn Beck



This guy didn't seem too evil until he went over to FOX NEWS and got a debriefing on how to scare the shit out viewers so they watch your show every night. He started this 912 project.

"The 9-12 Project is designed to bring us all back to the place we were on September 12, 2001." Wow....moving. Way to hit this topic at the height of it's importance....8 years later. Now I wonder why this comical pundit all of a sudden feels like his country is slipping away? What has changed over the past eight years......oh right. The president! So just now he's noticed the country is going in a shit direction, well you know who's fault that it is....Barack. The guy that just got here. You don't go back to the restaurant and complain about the meal you had eight years ago because they're now under new management. Unless you're a douche bag? I guess because he's one of the few that haven't lost his job, in fact he got a new better one, he can rally the downtrodden around a subject that has lost meaning at FOX. They have raped and pillaged everything possible from 911. Even Giuliani couldn't rouse the people using it as his only platform running for office. The only thing Glenn Beck is interested in is Glenn Beck. Stephen Colbert said it best, "The 9-12 project is not for families directly affected by 9/11, just people building their careers on it."



#3) George Stroumboulopoulos



George is a national treasure and I'm not just saying this because he's Facebook friend. He really is. At the end of his career he will most likely be the greatest Canadian broadcaster of all time. I believe that. His show, The Hour, is the only program that you will ever see, where a humble host will ask the question that you'd love to see the guest answer. You feel like you're over at someones house and the Australian Prime Minister happens to be there. What makes it special, is the humility. George sits with every guest, not in awe or disdain, but with humility that eases them. He truly wants to know.....whether you want to answer or not, he'll ask. He also seems to take public opinion with a grain of salt, and will allow the guest to be as forthcoming as they want. It's non-political, it's non-partisan, it's Classically Canadian. We pride ourselves on hearing what the other has to say, then judging for ourselves. We are open to others and their opinions, even when we disagree. We believe in seeing the person first, and their beliefs, politics, race, and creeds second. We respect other countries and their laws, whether we advocate them or not. We laugh at ourselves, long before people make us the butt of a joke.



Sure I haven't met either Glenn Beck or Sean Hannity and I've gone off on one of my tangents about them, completely contradicting my statements about the merit of each person. My TV show isn't on air.....and theirs are. Their shows are billed as "opinion", which gives people the right to opine about the subjects they cover. Trust me, I'm not going to say NO if either invites me on. I hope that they are people behind those TV masks. And I hope to learn something about who they really are. If I did, I would hope I have some humility, comedy, and reasonable sense of fairness.



Basically....Canadian
