Your Interactive White Trash Moment


That's right, tonight it's your choice, cast your vote now!
Yesterday on the 700 Club, Pat Robertson answered a question from concerned Christian viewer, Anne, who coyly asked his advice about her husband and his inclination to "flirt with other women he finds attractive".
Here is a transcript of his advice to Anne:

CO-HOST: Pat, this is from Anne who says, “My husband has always been a flirt and loves to talk with other women he finds attractive. He says he would never cheat on me but his actions are starting to get to me. What should I do?”

ROBERTSON: Anne, first thing is you need to make yourself as attractive as possible and don’t hassle him about it. And why is he doing this? Well, he’s doing it because he wants affirmation that he is still a man, that he is attractive — and he gets an affirmation of himself. That means he’s got an inferiority complex that’s coming out. And he’s not gonna cheat on you. He’s just playing.

But you need to not drive him away or start hassling and hounding on him, but make yourself as beautiful as you can, as fun as you can, and say let’s go out here, let’s go there, let’s go to the other thing.

Roberts has a long history of making outrageously chauvinistic comments. He famously once said, “The feminist agenda is not about equal rights for women,” but is rather “a socialist, anti-family political movement that encourages women to leave their husbands, kill their children, practice witchcraft, destroy capitalism and become lesbians.” On the proper role of a wife, Robertson has said, “Christ is the head of the household and the husband is the head of the wife, and that’s the way it is, period.”

Now, you, thebrainpolice blog interactive commentor can have your say! Here are two videos by The Country Music Queen, The legendary Tammy Wynette. Lord knows she tried, married for years to George Jones. Tammy wrote and recorded two classics, Stand By Your Man and it's sequel, D.I.V.O.R.C.E.....
Here they are, now it's your turn to tell Anne which song she should be singing!

I like both songs, so hard to say! I'm not much of a country fan, but some country artists really make you take notice - and Tammy Wynette is one of those that you can't ignore.

I can't believe that people still are tuning in to Pat Robertson! I guess we will be stuck with these knuckleheads until the depression era generation passes on.. which is really depressing, because I love people from the depression era. The WW2 era as well, with all their great stories. America is spending the capital that those great generations created with out making any new capital. The WPA works are crumbling as we speak. I went for a ride the other day on the trail from Maumee to Monclova that winds along the river. All along the way there are infrastructure works stamped with the "WPA".. most crumbling.. It's symbolic.

Gadfrey, Steve, I remember those trails well. I also remember canoing on the Maumee back in the 70's...
There are actually some nice swift shallows...it's a fairly fast river.

So much of the infra structure of america is "crumbling".
It was a toss up as to which version of Stand By Your Man I was going to post...There's a great duet with Tammy and Lyle Lovett on YouTube. I like Lyles version very much.
I listen to much more Country music since I moved to France. On Friday nights we even have a 6 hour radio show that plays actual call letter jingles from stations all over America...RTL from Nashville, France with the latest C&W Hits with George Lang!

I vote for D.I.V.O.R.C.E.!

Crumbling? of course, but the Tea Party forbids any social spending elsewise we will become 'just one of those European socialist states.'

The mass idiocy of America is amazing and increasing with each new moon.
