On the Glen Beck radio show this morning, Mr. Beck was lamenting General Motor's decision to spend $22 million and market itself through the United Kingdom's soccer team, Manchester United. He and his fawning boy toys cried foul, complaining, “Why are they taking jobs away from the U.S. and investing in England? Isn't there some sports team here in the U.S. worthy of it’s patronage?”
Hmmm, I thought. Is there a disconnect here? Weren't they praising Mitt Romney for doing the same thing? The problem is, they are not just idealogues, they are reactionaries. They remind me of divorcing parties who will do anything to hurt their estranged partner, even if it shoots off their own nose, despite their faces.
On a different note: Did you know that during the colonial days, churches in Massachusetts banned Christmas because it was too pagan?
