The Conservative Revolution

I finally got around to watching Reverend Jeremiah Wright’s interview with liberal hack Bill Moyers today. First, I want to congratulate Rev. Wright for his new $1 mansion in a white suburb of Chicago. Pointing out liberal hypocrisy is like shooting fish in a barrel. Should we even take seriously the views of people who don’t practice what they preach?

Putting that aside for now, let’s look at the interview with Moyers. Here are my thoughts.

1. Rev. Wright replaces so-called Eurocentrism with Afrocentrism. Why is one better than the other? And he is a proponent of black liberation theology, which takes this Afrocentrism even further.

2. Rev. Wright states as fact that the U.S. government gives drugs to African Americans. Conspiracy much?

3. Rev. Wright argues that “governments fail people.. they lie.” Well, why does he and his follower Barack Obama want to substantially increase government power in health care, energy, regulations and other things. If governments fail people, why not work to promote freedom and limit government?

4. Corporate owned media? You mean like the now “green friendly” MSNBC with Keith Olberman, Chris Matthews and David Gregory? I haven’t heard anything about how these liberal hosts have been prevented from espousing liberal views by their corporate masters. Besides, DailyKos and the Huffington Post are becoming as influential as corporate media outlets.

5. Those friendly “native americans” that Rev. Wright refers to were enslaving, killing, torturing and eating people on this continent before any European arrived. Man’s treatment of his fellow man has been good at times, but most often bad. The history of this continent, or any other continent bears that out. Wright says that “we” committed acts of terror to wipe out the “natives” and therefore we somehow deserved 911. I refuse to be blamed for acts that I had nothing to do with.

6. Wright has his own lies. Consider that he lies about the number of dead in Iraq and the number killed in the retaliatory strike on the empty facility in Sudan. He just makes numbers up to push his moral equivalence agenda on us.

7. Wright apparently opposed the retaliatory strike on the Libyan dictator Qadafi, which killed one of his sons. But did he condemn the Libyan acts of terrorism on innocent civilians that brought about that strike? Of course not.

When you constantly point out the bad in our culture and history, and refuse to see good, you are either delusional, angry, miserable or just a liberal. Or maybe all of the above. I’m simply not impressed with anything Wright has said. I’ve already read most of Noam Chomsky’s books on why we should hate Amerikkka.
