Not to be confused or even conflated with the Old Roman Empire. Lordy knows one shouldn't dare attempt that. However the new Era has indeed started.Forget that Wikipedia now defines the Roman Empire as a post-Republican period of the ancient Roman civilization.I guess maybe Wikipedia should also deconstruct the definition of civilization.Again ... daring not to be confused or conflated with a community of Hunter-gatherers,Nomadic pastorialists and Tribal villages.Whatever ! It's here.MSNBC is the living proof.One cannot even harbor speculation in polite company regarding the viciousness and direct assault,arriving nightly,with the very first breathing second in Primetime out of the mouths of Babes { Obama's team } of Hosts.From the very first second of each Primetime MSNBC hourly telecast,the Greatest Show on Earth is now Political,always a Three ring Circus and ta hell with the peanuts or any elephants.They'd only appear Pink anywho.Their droppings showing the true consistency and color that ... again comes from the mouths of babes. Notably consistent and full of Sh!t.Childlike at best,in it's veracity and insight. { Obama's babes or those Hosts at MSNBC }. The spectacle that Rome became,which was a direct result from within. Loosen morals,then slowly create an empty shell of a civilization by way of civil wars {consumer wars } failing trade,stifling taxes,class struggle and of course the Iron,ham-handed rule of a perpetual dictator { Julius Caesar } and his Ruling Elite. Is that pray tell what Obama promised the hosts at MSNBC.That they would be nicely rewarded and taken care of for making sure to do what he had done as Community Organizer.Get the folks all riled up and hating his foe. Make no mistake that is exactly what MSNBC does.They hate. I was almost ready to count the number of negative names Chris Matthews hurled last night on - Hardball - at the GOP and especially anyone daring to listen to Ted Cruz or take the Tea Party serious.Same,non-stop and vicious method used to defile,besmirch,and thoroughly get his audience to hate Sarah Palin,then Michele Bachmann.This isn't just scripted,Folks . This is purposeful and malicious and Roman.Political blood sport. Nashing of teeth with more pounds of political flesh being shredded than even Saddam Hussein could manage using Industrial shredders to inflict THE most horrific of pain imaginable.If Saddam wanted to send a message,he would stick an Iraqi into one of those Industrial shredders feet first.The better to watch the pain.If Saddam felt a little compassionate that day,then head first and a quick death. But at MSNBC it's more of a GOP death by a thousand cuts.Every day, every Primetime.Tear apart the GOP and Republicans and the Tea Party. Using every smarmy { which can pass standards & practices } name and smear tactic know to well ... those like Frank Nitti { Al Capone enforcer}. It was Frank Nitti who personally mentored the college-age Saul Alinsky. That being in Chicago.The city of Gangsters,bathtub gin and yes Commie politics.The city is still one of the most violent in the world.The city is still rife with Commie politics as Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn demonstrate in every classroom they teach. Or how about the effervescent mugs of a John Podesta or Ezekiel Emanuel, with those oh so happy looking faces.Underneath,Only God can say the true degree of their Chicago lust.Is it sheer politics and a stark curiosity in commie talk { doublespeak }. I wonder if Julius Caesar had one them happy faces.Probably so, especially after the 3rd round of prisoners made their way into the Colosseum to face the lions.Of course they had weaponry to help protect themselves. How nice ... How Roman. I wonder what journalistic weaponry Matthews will allow his foe.If any. Surely not truth.Or the hard facts,as journalists were taught once upon a yore.How about 2 verifiable sources before running with a story. I guess that explains why each week Matthews pitch is getting closer and closer to 78 rpm speed.Can't get his wording out fast enough. A guilty conscience run amuck yet chattering on. Hopefully this pathology will catch on,over at MSNBC. At least Matthews has dumped for the time being,thr near maudlin Camelot narrative and Teddy the Liberal Lion ... talk. The chattering class ain't got nuthin' on Matthews. Lions and Tigers and Bears ... Oh My ! The Roman Empire is fast approaching.It may be in a neighborhood near you.
