To Michael Savage (part 16)

Hi there,

Are you happy? Was it good enough for you? I mean the elections. I never voted, not yet.
Recently you were on TV in CA promoting your book. Teddy was there too. Both of you need a good haircut. The one I offered you a while ago is off the table. First you said you don't like to go to hair salons. I can understand that, me neither. Then, one day you said you drove your expensive car and went to a cheap place. I see.
Now, you said also you've got new cloths, put them in closet and wore the old ones again, don't know when you'll wear them. I have a suggestion when and where: when you'll get together with your fellow conservatives for making up with them. You should reconsider continuing calling them names and criticizing. All of them are doing their best in their own ways. All of them: Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Glenn Beck, Bill O'Reilly and the rest are doing their best. How come you're good with Laura Ingraham? She is like the rest of conservatives. I listen to all of them. Do I agree with everything they say? No and it's not mandatory. But by continuing your insults and name calling you're not helping yourself or the mutual cause. Then you complain that they're not inviting you to their programs or to Foxnews.
Watch your mouth for a change, will you, please?
Let's change the topic, shall we? I can change to another one fast, like you do.
Every time you badmouth Iran, I go back to what I know about their history and culture. I never have been there, don't know if ever will. Who is that man who comes to UN and tells us we're finished - don't know. Why America allows him to get away with it - don't ask me. Is he a set up to make trouble for Iranian people (as some Iranians told me on NYC streets) or he's a real "leader" for them? Who knows? Now he's blaming Russia, saying that it gave in to satan. I studied world literature - the classics. Persia has a history of wars and conquest as many others, but it's literature, the language, culture, art are one of the few in the world to be proud of. I know it's not fashionable in America's lib. damn media to say one culture is richer than the other(s), but all those potheads running it never read a book. Even Ivy colleges in here, who charge arms and legs have 4-5 times less literature on curriculum, than what we had.
Mentioning of Iran and it's people brings positive feelings to my heart, mainly because of my familiarity with their literature. I had an uncle who was a multi-talanted, doubly educated and well read man. He had a law and engineering degrees and was a literature buff. He was also a poet. He told me that if he'd be born again he'd become a Philologist, and in the next life - a Biologist, and the next - botanical scientist. He wanted to learn nature; how it grows, how it interacts. That's what you studied. There is a poetry in botany.

When he visited us, conversations were more philosophical than funny. I was a kid, but I loved it. Among other stuff, he knew lots of verses by heart from Persian great poets such as Firdusi, Khayyam and Hafiz. He'd top his thought processes with their lines. Later I read and admired them too. Today's Iranians are the descendants of those great poets and other great minds in science in the history of humanity. What's left of ones great culture today, I don't know.
I also used to admire French for their Moliere, Balzac, the list is very long, impressionists - you name it. Living there for a year and a half from 2006-2008 I absolutely didn't find anything that could give me a slight reminder of any left-over from ones great culture. None whatsoever. Things I remember are the dog waste, free sex channel all night (which shocked me), perversion (on TV on channel "Arte"), anger, frustration, ignorance, arrogance, immorality, culture of fraud, protests and strikes, constantly closed stores and businesses and hate towards America, because it's simply better and they're jealous. French made me the the worst American against them by calling me nazi and fascist, because I'm an American. Total strangers would do this without shame.
Now, why did I write this? About Iran; don't know if it'd be the case like it is for French. Would their poetry save the day today and bring us together around the table, I'd wish. It seems to me more poetic than realistic, but I dug and dug, read and read to find something and there it is... As actual today as it was centuries ago. Here it comes and you - Michael Savage can use it while talking politics.
