Day 49 Hypocrisy & Stupidity

Hello people. On this 49th day of my 100 Days of Angry I turn my fury on Hypocrisy and Stupidity. They generally go hand in hand. There are two camps here. There are the hypocrites who are simply too stupid to recognize their own hypocrisy and there are the hypocrites who hope you are too stupid to recognize their hypocrisy. Since today is the Federal holiday where we celebrate the birth of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., let's start there. Several groups across the nation staged protests today. One of Dr. King's most famous quotes from his "I Have a Dream" speech is "I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character". In his name, these protesters are carrying signs reading "Black Lives Matter". If you really understood Dr. King's message your signs would read "All Lives Matter". Because they do. Instead you asked to be judged first by the color of your skin. After the Oscar nominations came out, the hashtag #AllWhiteOscars went viral, Asking that actors be judged first by the color of their skin and not by the quality of their performance. People in Ferguson, Missouri chose to mark today by comparing their "unrest" to the civil rights movement of the 60s. Really? Because I don't remember the March in Selma ending with rampant looting and buildings burned to the ground.. Maybe I missed something. My point is, Dr. King's message was a great one. It had purpose and hope. It was empowering and unifying. What is happening today is quite the opposite.
Next, Clint Eastwood's movie "American Sniper" broke box office records. It's based on the life of Navy Seal Chris Kyle. Leave it to Hollywood to show their true colors. Michael Moore, in what I can only assume was yet another desperate attempt to remain relevant, Tweeted this:
"My uncle killed by sniper in WW2. We were taught snipers were cowards. Will shoot u in the back. Snipers aren't heroes. And invaders r worse," 
Michael Moore, you give hypocrites a bad name. Cowards? Did you not build your limited career by misrepresenting yourself in order to humiliate unsuspecting people? You're a Jackass. Not to be outdone, Seth Rogen likened the movie to Nazi propaganda films during World War II. I can't even begin to address the hypocrisy here. Mr. Rogen, you're a pompous, ungrateful, little turd.
Finally, NASA and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration released a report stating that 2014 was the hottest year on record. It made world news. They say greenhouse gas emissions continue to warm the planet. There's a problem though. It probably isn't true. Although the media went on to say that "Global Warming Deniers" were ignoring the report, what they didn't tell you, what they never tell you, is that NASA went on to say that "most of the world's land did not have record breaking heat" and that they "were 38% sure" that 2014 broke the record. Now, I'm no math major but 38% is a bit sketchy. That tells me that they're 62% sure it wasn't. They went on to say this year is on pace to break the 2014 record! Let me get this straight. You're 38% sure that 2014 was the hottest year ever and now, 19 days into 2015, you're pretty sure this year will break last year's record? Now that's top notch science right there! I'm 38% sure you're a bunch of idiots. Make that 50% sure!
