Rick Martinez is a frickin' idiot
I'm trying to be nice lately, which means I should probably stop reading the crap Rick Martinez writes in the News and Observer. His latest blind assault on sanity is just too much to take.
THE NAVY'S OUTLYING LANDING FIELD -- The phrase "Support the Troops" rings hollow in North Carolina, judging by the way this project has been torpedoed. The OLF isn't some supply depot but a crucial element in training and keeping Navy pilots proficient in landing jets on aircraft carriers. Even so, the NO-OLF group that spearheaded the campaign that knocked the Navy off a site in Washington and Beaufort counties deserves credit. Its members made their case, played by the rules, and beat the Navy fair and square.
Then, once it became known that the Navy was looking at sites in Camden, Currituck and Gates counties, public officials and some citizens weighed in with knee-jerk reactions based on little more than an intellectually empty desire to preserve the rural way of life. Bluntly put, protecting the American way of life -- the top job of naval aviators who desperately need the OLF -- is far more important than preserving a few farms.
Desperately need the OLF? Hahahahahahahaha. Rick Martinez is the knee-jerk fool in this game, and doesn't have a clue what the heck he's talking about.
NOTE TO DON CURTIS, TOP DOG AT CURTIS MEDIA, WHICH OWNS WPTF-AM, THE EMPLOYER OF LITTLE RICKY:
Dear Don:
Years ago when I did research and strategy for your company, you asked me to be honest with you about your programming decisions. You didn't say you'd listen to me, but you did say you wanted my honest opinion. My honest opinion is this: Rick Martinez is a dangerous joke. Fire his @$$ before he embarrasses your company even more.
Your friend,
James Protzman

People like Rick Martinez, who I do not know, usually because they cannot engage a subject intellectually, will go for the shock effect.
Pandering to the base instints of people, is easy, takes no talent, intelligence or skill. Tearing down things is the very easiest thing for someone to do. Anybody can do it. Some people even refer to themselves as journalist, commentators, experts, etc., just because they are able to throw written bricks thorugh written windows. It takes skill and intelligence to build. You will never see these folks doing that.
Unfortunately, we have already given him exactly what he thrives on; being mentioned critically in a liberal blog enviorment.
Commerical stations do understand the pocketbook however. Contact those who advertise with that station. discuss the pros and cons of dealing with a business who does such a disservice to North Carolinians.

Hey Ricky... Hold on awhile...and watch a few folks from a "few farms" walk all over you and pundits like you who , in all probability never raised a finger in physical defense of their country.

Martinez
says he used to be a Marine, which I assume is true. It would appear he lost touch with reality somewhere along the way.
If he says he "Used" to be a Marine
he never was one.

Dear Art:
Years ago when I did research and strategy for your secret neo-con foundation., you asked me to be honest with you about your republican programming decisions. You didn't say you'd listen to me, but you did say you wanted my honest opinion. My honest opinion is this: Rick Martinez is a dangerous joke. Keep his ass on your payroll so he can continue to embarrasse your think tank asses even more.
Your enemy,
Max
ps.....fire John Hood and put his shiftless lazy ass to work in the real world...
