The Hypocrisy of America

When I turn on late night TV and watch Jimmy Kimmel crying about a mass shooting in Las Vegas, then I know America is beyond salvage.  Without disparaging Mr. Kimmel it begs for clarification why he has a show.  Could any other person with the same skills step into his role as late night television show host?  The answer is of course not.  Thought through the deconstructionalist's lense his situation becomes more clear.  It is a clarity of America's structure, her cardiovascular system, that needs to be returned.  No one could step in for Mr. Kimmel, because he has a multi-national show that is capable of reaching millions of viewers.  With that advantage comes two discreet opportunities and thus responsibilities.  This is the equation that is failing to balanced each night on American television.  Inherently there is a responsibility to broadcast content that is filtered with Christian values.  If we as a nation had to agree on the regulation of our airwaves via the Federal Communications Commission, it would not be that long ago that Americans would have deemed Christian values a good starting place for television.  With our American Constitution comes freedom of speech, and thus it is necessary to verbalize and broadcast unpopular, unChristian, and often harmful content.  Like America should leave her Civil War related monuments standing, we as a populace need to be reminded of what is possible.  We are in complete denial concerning the structure of American Capitalism.  The clarity of our nation's cardiovascular system has become opaque.  Her arteries are clogged with plaque, and that plaque is the political process always that has run America.  Anyone with a similar skill set could step in and fill Jimmy's shoes, but they can't.  They can't not because they couldn't handle the job, but because it will not be allowed.  Jimmy's position as a late night talk show host is governed by American politics.  No longer is it a political system filtered by Christian values.  Like religion has been exorcised from from America, Christian values no longer are important to the broadcast world.  It might be difficult to discern that notion while watching the late night talk shows.  It is more obvious on cable television.  When viewed as a whole including paid advertising which in part funds the television empire, Christian value most overtly are absent in commercials.  Unlike mainstream content advertising covertly is infusing the viewing dynamic with manipulative, harmful, treasonous content.  It is very discreet their play.  Childlike advertisements laced with cartoon imagery, Romper Room dialog, and unforgivable naivete.  It is like a drug.  Drug use is rampant in American society, and no where is it more evident than on television.  Drug commercials that should concern only the medical community are laced through prime time viewing.  They are absurd, frightening, and dangerous.  It was not my intent this afternoon to disparage television ad's again.  It was my intention to clarify that Jimmy Kimmel's heartful crying can in no way aid a grieving nation.  His role, his profession, his vocation is a part of the same opaque system that runs America.  Neither can he be a proponent of Christian values or an opponent of Washington politics.  He can do nothing, because broadcast television no longer has a meaning, a purpose, or a definition.  It has no concept, because no one has taken the time to study its lineage.  It is childish, untalented, governance like Congress.  If Jimmy Kimmel wanted to affect a change in the politics of America, he would have to become accountable for his job as a salesman hawking soap atop a wooden box.  He would have to look closely at his network, its owners, and its shareholders and actually grow a backbone that was more important than filling his bank account.  All of Hollywood will have to do the same thing.  It is amazing how ignorant America has become.  I  shuddered watching 60 Minutes the other night at the horrific reporting on current events in America.  The overt lesson to be learned was those in power in America are stupid.  The show used their traditional "we are so serious" approach and failed to fill in the dialog with anything thoughtful or meaningful.  There was no background research, no philosophical angle, no political goal anywhere in the inane dialog.  "They put Humpy Dumpty back together again!"  (apparently so you can go back to playing shortstop again)  Like the rest of Washington these men no longer are capable of solving America's problems, creating legislation which is helpful and effective, and otherwise advancing America in any way.  We are the butt of the world.
