Whoopi's Debut on "The View"

Everyone knows that I hate "The View". I've made it pretty clear in my rants here on this blog. The best thing that could have happened to this show was the addition of Whoopi Goldberg to the panel. Yesterday morning was her first day on the show. No, I don't agree with most of her political and moral ideals, but I love that fact that she's silent when she needs to be silent and speaks up when she needs to speak up. I haven't seen her out of control with anger that someone doesn't agree with her opinion, which makes for an excellent television co-host.

She weighed in on how she felt about the infamous Michael Vick situation. I agree 100% with her comments. My husband and I were talking about how interesting this country is. People sit around and yawn, even defend, a living, breathing baby being mercilessly killed during gestation, but they are UP IN ARMS over dogfighting. We love to sit around and judge things that we don't understand. "If I don't understand it, it must be wrong because I said so! Oh, but there's nothing wrong with this other thing because I understand it and I said so!" Hell is going to be a crowded place, indeed.

Here's video from CNN.com of Goldberg's comments. Very glad to see you, Whoopi.
