Comments on: Ben Stein: Why Should I Care?

Sunday Morning Commentator Says The Doings Of Drunken Celebrities Are Less Important In Today's World

Bravo, again, Ben!! Network news ought to shame their counterparts . . . e.g., MSNBC . . . which, this week, went fro being the all Anna Nicole all the time network to the all Paris all the time network. The National Enquirer by National Broadcasting Company! On the day the Chairman of the JtCOS is being replaced by SecDef in the middle of a war, I saw 15 minutes at most coverage of this hard news but at least 8 hours of aerial footage of Paris Hilton being taken into custody (I work on a trade floor with TV's going all the time on all stations). Get real, folks . . . or, perhaps, reflect on what Ben said about Romans & Barbarians the gates - just maybe, Ben, the Romans did spend time gossiping about the latest star chariot racer or gladiator. After all, their civilization fell of its own self indulgence just as our seems determined to do in the face of enemies which have clearly evinced their intent to kill us and bring us to heel at their totalitarian version of religious intolerance.

All I can say is "AMEN" to Ben Stein's commentary today, "Why Should I Care?". Ben Stein hit the nail on the head so hard, he knocked the whold house down. He said what I think the mass majority of Americans have been thinking and feeling for months! WHO FRIGGIN CARES about celebrities in Hollywood when our young men and women are dying overseas to give all of us, including those pampered, whiny spoiled, over-indulged celebrities freedom and security. The only thing missing from Ben Stein's commentary today was a solid gold pulpit and the glorious sound of a chorus of angels proclaiming "Halleljuah! Preach, Ben! Preach!" Let America say "AMEN!"
