IPOCRISIE, SEPOLCRI IMBIANCATI E ALTRE SCHIFEZZE

“La cloaca nazionale sta per straboccare”. Ricordo che lessi anni fa questa frase, scritta da un giornalista americano che osservava attonito una Società che sembrava andare alla deriva, presa solo dalla febbre gain, with an ever-expanding corruption. Soon, he would have had the dramatic collapse of Wall Street and the recession.

"The sewer is going to national straboccare. In our case is different. We already straboccata. And those who wallow in the sewage with the feet of the sewer believe they can still give lessons of moral and civic virtues. Wags, stupid or in bad faith? Who knows. Perhaps a mix of all three.

I had no intention of speaking Boffo the case, have already done too many. But finally I've also find a balanced and intelligent article on this subject. The professor wrote. Roberto De Mattei Note on Roman, and I'll point out, highly recommended reading: http://www.corrispondenzaromana.it/chiesa-cattolica/chiesa-cattolica-riflessioni-e-domande-sul-caso-boffo . html

But I think it is useful to reflect briefly on the reactions that the "case Boffo" has unleashed and which have overshadowed even the porcheriole this time or financial fiscal, Mr Mauro, De Benedetti and heirs Agnelli (who - parce buried - continues to be given a kind of noble features which frankly I never understood).

However, Berlusconi for months and months, so haunting, is besieged in an avalanche of rumors, none of which are political matters. Speculation on the sexual behavior of the President, on his total indiscretion unfortunate family events (separation is never a happy event). The most qualified source of information is a lady who works as the "escort", ie, using the good old Italian, a prostitute. As can be seen, a reliable source and honorable, but that probably feels spiritually close to all Mauro, Scalfari etc., which give full confidence.

Nobody blinks.

Then it says that Felt, and documents, a conviction for harassment suffered by Boffo, that alignment has been to Buona Stampa, Corriere, Repubblica, Espresso, Units & co. in the daily practice of the insult to the head of government.

hell broke loose! The entries in the defense pie democratic state stand up and express their strong indignation at the barbarism of the troubled political struggle. Boffo accusations against Felt, but carefully avoiding mention of the central theme: it is true or not that harassment were those made by himself to a lady who had the misfortune to be married to a guy (man) with which Boffo (man) if it was?

The pious defense of democratic voices say "Is right, things are private, felt and to put the stake in the name of freedom." He wakes Fini, losing yet another good opportunity to shut up, deprecating the climate of fierce war being waged between political factions. Where was the same when Berlusconi Fini was insulted, no one knows. Sure, a President of the Chamber has a lot to do, so perhaps you had not noticed anything. What Phoenix, rises also the president of Catholic Action, Franco Miano, to declare that Felt (who knows why) he "intimidated" The Future, consuming as a serious offense against the freedom of the press. In addition, Miano expresses its solidarity with Boffo. Happy him. However, in this intervention must recognize an advantage: it would ave reminded the world that there is the Catholic Action, for in fact did not notice any more. Then we must also understand what they are exactly, but that's another story.

For Miano is the same as for Fini: where was the President of Catholic Action brave when they threw tons of mud about Berlusconi? Given its charge, we think that it was in retreat, not realizing that what was happening in the world.

However, the pious democratic voices are satisfied not only that Felt is a bitch, but that press freedom is in serious danger. And then if they tell people like D'Alema or Di Pietro, known worldwide for its fine intelligence, it can not be doubted. And it is all the more in danger because Berlusconi has said something that even children know, but that in this country of hypocrites can not be said: he said that newspapers tell a lot of ball. Terrible. He also intimidates. And he also sued Espresso, Republic unit and, having tired of being targets daily insults. Scary, this is fascism!

And now here we are pure idiocy, we have exceeded even the bad faith. Because if Berlusconi uses a legitimate means of enforcing its rights (the lawsuit) is fascism and attempt to muzzle the free press. Maybe, if it were so "fascist" would send a squad of batons smooth the skull to those who spoke ill of him.

Moreover, talk of fascism the same media outlets that continue to insult the President, in which none has never prevented from doing so and against whom the President himself has now filed a lawsuit, therefore assuming the risk that the judge give him wrong. It is a curious form of fascism under which all have the freedom to insult, if insult Berlusconi, who would be preventing the freedom of information. But, gentlemen, we're not going out a little pumpkin?

Many have noted that Baffino D'Alema, years ago, had sued Forattini, for a satirical cartoon against him. The lawsuit itself was idiotic, because a political cartoonist who makes a satirical cartoon (no insults or lapses of taste) is only doing his job. Many have also mentioned the complaints baskets from Mortadella.

But those complaints were democratic, while Berlusconi's lawsuit comes clear intention to muzzle the freedom of information in Italy.

Well, here we are in total mental chaos. I have always been convinced that the left, beaten soundly in past policies, and then riveted to the European and local elections, was now in hysterical. Completely devoid of political arguments, placed in front of a government that governs and a Prime Minister who can be loved by most of the Italians, the left now had taken refuge in the gossip in the small obsession with brothels. But now it has taken a step forward. His most representative elements are not showing bad faith, not political venom, no desire to eliminate the opponent. They are all negative feelings, but they would their own cruel logic in a situation of political confrontation in exasperation.

No, alas. They are showing only an infinite stupidity, because when the hypocrisy and the joke of the two weights and two measures go beyond any acceptable limit, you lose any remaining credibility. And a politician who does everything to lose credibility can only be an idiot.

I say this with regret, because the opposition, in a serious country and civil, is very important. The opposition should monitor the government, have proposed to do, in fact have a political identity and a capacity of touch with reality. But this opposition is missing, has now melted into a putrid trickle because of sexual fantasies, gossip, gossip, only to be so childish to urlacchiare if one of them gets caught with his hands in the cookie jar.

And the dude at the party, the Democratic Party, main opposition party, one of the stars is the Beppino Englaro. Well, shoot or idiocy or death have to offer. At this rate, then we have nostalgia for that solid sound that was delinquent Togliatti. A criminal, I repeat the word, covering avalanche of ordinary crimes by taking advantage of his position as Minister of Justice, by Radio Moscow urged the extermination of the Italian troops, which justifies the monstrosity worse. But, compared to current claims, at least had a brain
