PONDER:
1. THE DIXIE CHICKS RECEIVE 5 GRAMMIES FOR MEDIOCRE MUSIC BUT POLITICALLY CORRECT ANTI-AMERICANISM IN A COUNTRY THAT CHAMPIONS FREE SPEECH.

2. EX-PRESIDENT JIMMY CARTER, REPLETE WITH A PENSION AND BODYGUARDS PROVIDED BY THE AMERICAN TAXPAYERS, WINS A GRAMMY FOR THE 'SPOKEN WORD' WHICH HE USES TO DENIGRATE AND RANT AGAINST AMERICA IN A COUNTRY THAT CHAMPIONS FREE SPEECH.

3. THE BEATLES BECAME MEGA-RICH AND PERENNIALLY IMPORTANT FOR EMBARRASSINGLY MEDIOCRE SONGS LIKE 'LUCY IN THE SKY WITH DIAMONDS,' IN A COUNTRY THAT CHAMPIONS FREE ENTERPRISE.

4. BARAK OBAMA CAMPAIGNS FOR THE WHITE HOUSE WITH A FACILENESS THAT MASKS HIS DISHONEST PANDERING TO THE DUALITY OF HIS ETHNICITY, TO THE CONCEPT OF TWO AMERICAS AND TO THE POSSIBILITY OF BOTH A DEMOCRAT AND A REPUBLICAN SPIRIT OF COMPROMISE.

5. AMERICAN LEADERS IN THOUGHT AND ACTION LIKE ABRAHAM LINCOLN, MARTIN LUTHER KING AND RONALD REAGAN ARE DEAD.

IN A COUNTRY THAT CHAMPIONS FREE SPEECH WHY MUST EVIDENCE CONTINUALLY FORCE US TO ADMIT THAT CITIZENS SLAVISHLY FOLLOW POPULAR ICONS THAT ARE NOT LEADERS. IN ESSENCE, MANY CITIZENS (AND SOME ILLEGALS) ARE SLAVES TO POLITICIANS, AMBITION, MONEY AND ANTI-AMERICAN POLITICAL CORRECTNESS?
