Mob Gives Imus the Ol’ Heave-Ho

Media, Race, Racism, The Zeitgeist

The above is the title of my new WND column. With respect to this excerpt from “Mob Gives Imus the Ol’ Heave-Ho“:

The media monolith, pitchforks hoisted, has conducted a swift public trial, meant to make an example of Imus, and serve as a warning to all others who fail to march in lockstep, shouting ‘Jawohl!’ In solidarity with the offended women, members of the chattering class have been tripping over one another, to show-off their suppurating stigmata.

A regular on MSNBC, Mortimer Zuckerman of U.S. News & World Report, said today that what Imus did —refer to the predominantly black Rutgers women’s basketball team as “nappy-headed hos”,” is the same as what Michael Nifong did. Both cannot expect an apology to absolve them.

You’ve lost it morally when you compare rude, nasty words to the use of state power in order to intentionally frame innocents with a crime they did not commit; to concealing facts, and to, all together, denying the falsely accused due process, and in the process forcing them to bankrupt their families so as to mount a defense against the illicit assault.

Yes, a prosecutor who’s supposed to uphold the rights of all parties, using the full force of the state to threaten the liberty and property of individual citizens —that’s exactly like, to quote the “Mob Gives Imus the Ol’ Heave-Ho, “An old git uttering an ugly utterance.”

Talk about comparing like with like. Indeed, “the latest media-fanned contagion“; the “lynch mob led by the Reverends Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton“–it’s all very ominous. It doesn’t bode well for the future and fate of individualism and freedom in this country.

Updated: British Cry Babies Cash In On Cowardice

Middle East, Military

Military analyst Jack Jacobs says everything there is to say about the big British cry babies whose names ought to become synonymous with dishonor and disgrace. Okay, perhaps the tyranny of political correctness prevents him from pointing out how repulsive was the specter of the tubby, unfit female sailor, fretfully sucking on a fag, while reporters told of her baby back home. As though being in the military and waging war all over the world entitles one to job security.
If you venture into a tough neighborhood like the Middle East, your best bet is to leave the women behind, and that goes for women with the Y chromosome as well. Her fellow male sailors were no better than she.
Readers will respond, “Don’t speak until you’ve walked in the sailors’ timid shoes.” Tummy rot! I’m not a trained solider, don’t profess to be, am not paid to be.
These Brits developed minute-made Stockholm syndrome.
And now the creeps will be cashing in on their cowardice; the British military has given them the go ahead to sell their snivels to the tabloids.

Update: In response to Mike Gooding’s letter hereunder: I almost always publish polite disagreement. (Letters that distort my positions, however, are never published.) Still, friendship doesn’t imply blind, slavish loyalty. I must say, I thought Americans acted cheaply and spoke atrocious English. After watching the British captives, I realized they take the cake. The American marines and other top-echelon servicemen (even women) are impressive. Of course, one doesn’t wish to generalize. But, this British bunch was especially unimpressive in conduct, carriage, and demeanor. That they’ve been let loose on the public instead of being hidden somewhere is a big mistake.
Over to Jack Jacobs, retired U.S. Army colonel, who knows a thing or two about bravery. This is not IT, he writes in “British Sailors’ Conduct Was A Disgrace.”

In Defense of Hierarchy & the Catholic Church

Christianity, Left-Liberalism And Progressivisim, Psychology & Pop-Psychology, Religion, Sex

In the Comments Section on “the Pope’s Noble-Savage Catechism,” Ms. Grant condemns the Catholic Church for lifting the pope above the flock. I’m not religious, and am certainly no authority on Catholicism, but, in my limited understanding, this is something of a misrepresentation. From the fact that the Church has a hierarchical structure it doesn’t follow that the Church believes the Pope is better than the flock in the eyes of the Almighty. Catholicism simply puts in place a much-needed hierarchy.

In my thinking, the breakdown of boundaries in society is one of the main sources of all the rot we see around us. The Church in its wisdom appeared to recognize that not all people are equal, and that populism is evil.

The rubble seeking to overturn the structure is mainly of the left, in my understanding. My impression is that the movement to change the structure of the Church gained momentum during the child sex abuse witch hunt, where very many innocent priests were targeted. It goes hand-in-hand with females demanding to be priests. This victim movement has done a great deal more than try and bankrupt the Church.
