Stickin’ To What We Know
Monday, July 20th, 2009 “When you guys figure it out, come back and tell me. Until that time I’m sticking with my Judeo-Christian Philosophy.”
-Bill O’ Reilly in an interview with Richard Dawkins
In another quick segment on YOTUBE you can see the tag team efforts of Bill O’ Reilly and Glenn Beck attempting to dismiss New York Times columnist Paul Krugman for a supposed piece he did commenting on the latter hypocrites’ stories about the FEMA camps. The clip itself was hilariously devastating. In it, the two make comments about Krugman “not caring if you said it or not.” And then in a perfect example of YOUTUBE journalism, clips of Glenn Beck’s almost hysteric voice tells his Fox viewers that he cannot debunk the FEMA camps. Repeatedly.
One then begins to wonder if Glenn Beck is a real journalist, or maybe a poltroon who was threatened by the New World Order. The clip does a deliver a rather damaging blow to Beck’s profession. If you haven’t seen it I highly suggest you do. Recently I’ve begun a phrase that I repeat from time to time. “The more you dismiss it without argument, the more credibility is granted to it.”
In regard to the FEMA camps – pretty cut and dry. A mainstream commentator for the FOX news network, Glenn Beck, at first and then repeatedly, tells stories of the reality of the clandestine camps propping up over the country. Then, all of a sudden, he and his propaganda cohort, Bill O’ Reilly, slam a columnist who reiterates the original piece. Well shoot…you said it Glenn!
My thinking tells me this… Bill O Reilly, along with so many other persons’ of Faith are willing to dismiss all the evidences of evolution, astronomy, and the such, and give all rights and privileges of Creation to an unverified claim (a ridiculous one) that “God” spoke to illiterate peasants in a remote desert – somewhere around 4000 years ago. A man walked on water, was born of a virgin, died and was resurrected…all things completely and literally believable. Except that the Truthers are ridiculed and insulted for bringing serious and legitimate questions to the doorsteps of our elected officials. Unbelievable. But once again…our faith deceives us. It tells us that we’re right when we probably know that there is a good amount of doubt.
Because science is not (yet) able to answer every single question regarding the origins of life on earth, Bill O’ Reilly says that he will stay with his belief system. Can that that same logic be reversed? Can it be said that “I’m sticking with the Truth Movement until the Government of the United States answers the unanswered questions of 9/11?” Is that credible? Can I ask about the FEMA camps that are reported to hold 50 million Americans? And why they’re all empty.
Disturbing revelations about our Free Country.
