Words of Wisdom from "Bewitched."

[Pab Sungenis]

I loved "Bewitched" growing up, but hadn't re-watched too many episodes as an adult.

Today, the TiVo had the "George Washington Zapped Here" two-parter on it, so I decided to watch it. I get more of what they were saying now after studying modern American History than I did then, and I wonder how many people got what they were talking about back in 1972.

WASHINGTON: What has happened to this country that was founded on freedom? Does the Constitution still exist? The Bill of Rights?

DARRIN: Yes, of course, Mister President!

WASHINGTON: Then why do the people not exercise their rights?

SAMANTHA: Sometimes, it's easier to be led than to lead. And a great many of our citizens prefer to stand on the sidelines and ignore their rights than defend them. They're called the Silent Majority.

(Remember that "The Silent Majority" was what Nixon called his base.)

It resonates even more today in light of Der Pretzelfuehrer's actions and all the people who just sit on the sidelines today.

1. Taking political advice from Bewitched reruns...

...is a pretty strong sign that we should ALL take a deep breath, maybe have a shot of scotch.

6. Who's taking political advice?

I see it more as a truism than as political advice.

Did you hear that E-Mail from the guy in Norway on Malloy's show Thursday? He's right. If we don't stand up, we are complicit in their crimes. Catholics call it a Sin of Omission.

3. You Bewitched-Liberal-Socialist

If you were any kind of real American, you would get your politics from, "I Dream of Jeannie!"
