In the long, storied history of the American Republic, there has always been a place for the dissenter. But what we are witnessing today in the person of Keith Olbermann is not dissent; it is a profound clinical insanity. Olbermann, a mentally sick and dangerous misfit, has become the central, twitching figure in a circus of the simple-minded—a sick clown who has traded his dignity for a permanent seat at the table of anti-American resentment. To understand the pond scum currently eating away at the edges of our culture, one need only look at Olbermann’s recent, filthy reaction to American excellence on the ice.
When the U.S. Men’s Hockey team achieves greatness, a normal, wholesome person feels a spark of national pride. They see the result of years of diligence, grit, and the refusal to accept mediocrity. But to a man like Olbermann, a gold medal is a trigger. His reaction wasn’t just a critique; it was a visceral, disgusting display of contempt for the very country that fed his ego for decades. He hates the USA because the USA represents a standard he can no longer meet. He is the embodiment of the “reflexive envy” I have warned about: a man so hollowed out by Democrat-instilled slogans that he views a win for his own nation as a personal insult.
This is the same “simpleton” energy that has now infected the U.S. Women’s Hockey team. These athletes, who have been gifted the ultimate platform to represent the greatest nation on earth, recently chose to boycott the State of the Union. Why? Because they are following the same tired, simple-minded script provided by the Olbermanns of the world. These are typically stupid women who have been taught to hate men, hate tradition, and—ultimately—hate themselves.
The boycott isn’t a “brave stance.” It is a hallmark of lazy thinking. It is far easier to sit in a locker room and pout than it is to show up, stand tall, and respect the office of the Presidency regardless of who sits in the chair. By refusing to attend the SOTU, these women proved that they are not leaders; they are followers of a cult of mediocrity. They have been convinced that their “victimhood” is their most valuable asset, a lie sold to them by the “free stuff” machine that survives on keeping people small, angry, and dependent.
Olbermann is the architect of this misery of mind that has infected people who would have otherwise been sullen waste products – easily ignored. Olbermann provides the intellectual cover for these simpletons to feel “virtuous” in their hatred. Whether he is screaming into a webcam in a dark room or hurling insults at “flyover” Americans who still believe in God and Country, he proves over and over that he has no patience for wholesome people. He views the diligent, hard-working American family as an obstacle to his socialist utopia—a place where excellence is punished and the loud-mouthed clown is king.
We must stop wasting our time trying to “debate” these people. As I have said before, as soon as someone complains about billionaires or boycotts a national tradition, you must dismiss everything else they say. They are intellectual dead ends. They cannot learn because they have replaced their brains with a reflex. Keith Olbermann is not a journalist; he is a symptom of a dying culture. The Women’s Hockey team are not heroes; they are casualties of a simple-minded education system.
I will write more about the women’s hockey team in a subsequent article.
In any case, the adult in the room knows that “America” is won through diligence, not tantrums. We must turn our backs on the sick clowns and return to the serious work of preserving the Republic.
Biblical Reflection
The Verse:
“A sapling is easily bent, but an old tree stays its course. Even so, the simple believe every word, but the prudent man looks well to his steps.” — Proverbs 14:15
The Explanation: The “simple” in this verse are those like the boycotting athletes—people who believe every word of the radical scripts handed to them by men like Olbermann. They are easily bent by the winds of social pressure. The “prudent man,” the hard-right patriot, looks to his steps and refuses to be led into the ditch by a blind and angry guide.
A Prayer for National Clarity
“Lord, we ask for Your divine protection over the minds of our youth and the hearts of our leaders. We pray that You would expose the folly of the loud and the bitter, and grant us the discernment to walk away from the table of the simple-minded. Strengthen the hands of the diligent and remind us that our true identity is found in Your truth, not in the fleeting anger of this world. Deliver us from the spirit of envy and return our nation to the paths of righteousness and excellence. Amen.”
