Lou Dobbs Is Not Liking These Communist U.S. Olympic Team Berets

Like Harry Reid, the fashion gurus at Fox and Friends are not happy with the U.S. Olympic Team's choice of uniform, though unlike the Senate Majority Leader, they're more concerned with sartorial statements than the Chinese provenance of the garments.

"The big question, though, is should the American team be wearing a beret?" co-Friend Steve Doocy pondered. "Why not a baseball cap? Why not a cowboy hat like we had when we went to Calgary? Why not just do something very American and just go topless?"

Why not wear a cheeseburger or a bald eagle? Why not shave an image of Ronald Reagan into the athletes' hair? All valid questions, but it was Lou Dobbs who put the gravity of this issue into perspective…

"Berets are also the signature headgear of socialist Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez," the Fox Business host added.

I always knew my distaste for pants had strong historical grounding. Pants were the signature leg wear of Hitler.

As for berets, both Doocy and Dobbs eventually recognized that some Americans already wear berets on a regular basis (see right) without being characterized as homosexual French artistes. Maybe we can rename it the Freedom Helmet and solve this crisis once and for all.

Lou Dobbs Warns: The Lorax Is a Pawn of Occupy Wall Street

It's kind of difficult to keep track of all the special interest groups that are rotting America straight through from the core out. Let's see. There's the gays, obviously. And poor people. And the Latino immigrants looking for better lives here. They definitely hate America. Then there's all the women who want to have slut sex 24/7. They're practically a terrorists organization at this point. Who am I forgetting? Oh, right! Children! Terrible communist children.

Let's not even get into the whole Terror Babies thing right now. (Way too traumatic!) We've got other child-related battles to fight. We recently witnessed righteous conservative culture warriors open up fronts on the new Muppets movie and on the Girl Scouts of America. Now, we have to turn our attention to a brand new insidious threat: the Lorax…

With Universal's colorful animated tale The Lorax, "the President's liberal friends in Hollywood [are] targeting a younger demographic using animated movies to sell their agenda to children," claimed an outraged Lou Dobbs this week on Fox News… As conservative radio host Matt Patrick bellowed from the commentator pit, "We are creating Occu-toddlers!"…

In the classic Seuss story — adapted into a 3-D animated adventure that hits screens next week — a magical creature called The Lorax attempts to intervene as an industrialist, driven by greed, ravages an entire ecosystem.

Let's just be clear here: the lines, as I see them drawn at this point are: People who are anti-greed, anti-meaningless destruction on one side; and conservatives like Lou Dobbs and Matt Patrick on the other.

Choose a side, people!
