Yet another washed up, has-been out trying to re-ignite his "glory days," has now joined the ranks of so many other "entertainment types" who saw the slandering of their country as being the most expeditious way of doing just that. It was over this past weekend, that we heard from Bruce Springsteen while he was in Paris, that supposed cultural center of the universe, peddling his latest attempt at a comeback by way of a new album, entitled "Wrecking Ball," to reporters. But, as usual, rather than focusing on what is referred to as "his music," and I use the term loosely, he instead chose to use a press conference as a platform from which to spew some his leftist political drivel. And in doing so, he also took a bit of time to shower praise upon the Occupy movement, going so far as to credit it with inspiring some of GOP presidential contender Newt Gingrich’s rhetoric.
According to this moron, who must fancy himself some sort of political genius, "Previous to Occupy Wall Street, there was no push back at all saying this was outrageous, a basic theft that struck at the heart of what America was about, a complete disregard for the American sense of history and community." Adding, "The temper has changed. And people on the streets did it. Occupy Wall Street changed the national conversation, the Tea Party had set it for a while. The first three years of Obama were under them." These idiotic comments should come as no surprise to anyone the least bit familiar with previous rants made by this jerk, because he has a very long history of leftist allegiances. But going a little farther with his leftist tripe that he has in the past, it was what he said next that was considered as being particularly noteworthy.
"Nobody had talked about income inequality in America for decades, apart from John Edwards, but no one was listening," he babbled on. Going on to say, "But now you have Newt Gingrich talking about ‘vulture capitalism’, Newt Gingrich, that would not have happened without Occupy Wall Street." My definition of "vulture capitalism" is what this guy charges people for the privilege of hearing his "music." While we’re told that this pathetic old loser won’t be hitting the campaign trail for his hero, Barry, during the 2012 campaign, he still made his political preferences known to those listening. He then proceeded to put on a demonstration of what can only be described as that uncanny ability possessed by so many on the left of being able to talk out their ass as he offered up some rather typical pabulum regarding how he sees Barry’s performance thus far:
"He kept General Motors alive, he got through healthcare—though not the public system I would have wanted—he killed Osama Bin Laden, and he brought sanity to the top level of government. But big business still has too much say in government and there has not been as many middle- or working-class voices in the administration as I expected. I thought Guantanamo would have been closed but now, but he got us out of Iraq and I guess we will soon be out of Afghanistan." When I here such things said by those who owe so much to they’re living in a country that provided them with the opportunity to excel, it stirs something inside me, a feeling that I don’t like. You see, I love my country, very much and I have a very low tolerance for scumbags like Springsteen who so very obviously do not.
With a voice like his and style that reminds me of watching someone in the midst of some sort of an epileptic seizure, where else but in America could a moron like him become a "recording artist?" And wouldn't you think that he could be just a bit more appreciative, because had he been born anywhere but in this great country he would have progressed no further than the selling of pencils on some city street corner. And yet he sees it as being perfectly acceptable, to go about the slamming of his country as a way to breath new life into what is nothing more than the flagging career of someone who should have long time ago called it quits. I think it extremely sad, in a way, what some people will resort to when trying to rekindle a flame that died out a very long time ago. It would seem these entertainment types possess some rather substantial egos.
