Pat Boone has had a long, profitable career. He is 75 years old. It might be time for him to retire. Or maybe he can do “cover” versions of gangsta rap.
There is an article on WorldNetDaily, signed by Mr. Boone. He makes three suggestions to President BHO. Mr. Boone observes that BHO did not serve in the military. According to wikipedia, neither did Pat Boone. There was a draft when Mr. Boone was 19, and the Korean War had just ended. If he had volunteered at 18, he might have seen some action.
The first suggestions regards the pictures of torture. Mr. Boone uses a lot of buzz words, like “liberal media” and “Dan Rather and CBS”. Mr. Boone claims that the torture ended at Abu Ghraib. Documents recently released indicate otherwise.
Mr. Boone claims that the corporal punishment his mother gave him was worse than what was done to prisoners at Guantanamo Bay. He also raises the red herring of 911, and the tactics used against Americans in Iraq. He calls release of the torture pictures “papering your house”.
Suggestion 2 is to “Send the terrorists to the Antarctic”. If you want to know more, follow this link.
Suggestion 3 is where Mr. Boone shows signs of dementia. He discusses the reluctance of BHO to publicly participate in the National Day of Prayer. This is compared with a proclamation issued by Abraham Lincoln in 1863. Before he gets to that, he drops this in: “But, scarcely into your presidency, you seem hell-bent to marginalize Christianity and this country’s Judeo-Christian foundation, allowing military chaplains to be harshly disciplined for praying in Jesus’ name and promoting a so-called “fairness doctrine” that is designed to squelch conservative and Christian radio hosts and to equate Holy Scripture with “hate speech.”
The “Fairness Doctrine” has been a bogeyman to Talk Radio. An old policy that requires radio and TV to present “balanced” views on current issues, the FD was discontinued under President Reagan. The radio whiners have been screaming that BHO, and the Democrats in congress, will bring back the FD.
The only problem is that BHO has expressed his desire to leave the Fairness Doctrine on the shelf. His press secretary issued a statement to this effect during the campaign, and another statement was issued after the inauguration. The US Senate voted 87-11 to oppose the return of the Fairness Doctrine. One wonders where Mr. Boone got the idea that BHO supports the return of the FD, and how this relates to a call for fasting by Abraham Lincoln.
