NEWSWEEK BIT ITSELF IN THE TAIL
J. Grant Swank, Jr.
Dan Rather all over again.
The anti-Bush media gets so crazed out that it loses it outright. The next we’ll read about the little men in the little white coats descending upon the liberal newsfeeds. The sooner the healthier for intelligent minds everywhere.
It’s a nuthouse out there — in the politically liberal newsrooms. They’re outdoing one another in dumbness and rudeness and lying extraordinarily.
So it goes when you’ve lost your moral base. The same for the Democratic Party. The Dems by and large have lost their ethical moorings. When that happens — that is, when relativism hits the fan — then anything goes.
Ask the Unitarian Society. Long ago that religion gave up its eternal verities. Since then it’s worked devilment at every turn. Of course, the most popular is the Society’s total lust for homosexual lifestyles. And with that the United Church of Christ (Congregational) has followed suit. As well as the Episcopal Church of America.
Therefore, losing one’s ethics does not only apply to secular institutions. It can happen within the walls of Christendom — at which time the walls crumble and those pressing against the walls fall out of Christendom.
So now we have Newsweek playing center field. And there’s such an uproar.
But for those of us who have had to wade through the anti-Bush media take daily, it’s so old and worn and tiring that we can hardly read about it. In fact, once we start to read about it, though prophets we are not, we can predict the closing sentence before we get through the first paragraph.
Moralists are predictable. Once you get the hang of their moral code, you can predict practically any ethic conclusion.
The same with immoralists — that is, the philosophical relativists. They too are predictable to the last letter, once you understand that they have no eternal absolutes. You can prophesy the end from the beginning.
Newsweek has simply played out the craze taking over the anti-Bush press. But in truth we know that it’s been there a long, long time. And it won’t go away, no matter the holler and the hoot. It won’t go away.
It started to diminish slightly after the November Red States win. Certain personages like Peter Jennings tried like blazes to behave. But in a few weeks, they caved in to their liberal cliches and snooty faces and all that sort of liberal emptiness.
When the liberals are caught in the mire, just as Dan was, just as Newsweek is, the liberals never admit anything but "I don’t have any idea what you idiot moralists are talking about." "What, me?" "How could you think such a crime?"
And so they go on and on. It happens in liberal religion. It happens in liberal politics. It happens in liberal press. They are clones of one another.
In the end, they bite right there — deeply, so the world can see. They always bite themselves in the end — right there — the tail will do.
