Radio talk show host, Rush Limbaugh, played an audio clip of a man on his show one day. The guy talked about how he received no particular pleasure being in the company of his colleagues. He said they were spiritless and humorless. They were simply no fun to be around. The man was a democrat and his colleagues were democrats.
The media are like that, too: somber and reserved. What is the commonality of such people with longstanding dispositions of moroseness?
I know a man with no arms. He lost them while working on a utility pole. He is a happy man. I know a lady who’s 81-years old. A divorcĂ©e, for many years. She’s a happy lady. I could fill many books writing about the many people I know whose lives are filled with joy. Most aren’t wealthy. Most aren’t beautiful or handsome. And most aren’t famous celebrities. Most are hard-working, average human beings with one thing in common: They believe in a benevolent higher power. They believe in God. They believe in Jesus Christ.
I have seen alcoholics, spouse-abusers, and criminals transformed into normal-functioning, healthy, happy human beings, instantaneously, through faith in God. It’s like a transmogrification of the soul. It is supernatural. It is inexplicable. It is real.
Do you ever notice the difference between the Fox News Network and all the other news networks? The employees of Fox display more humanity. They celebrate Christmas and the birth of Christ, exalting Christianity, unafraid to say “Jesus” on the air. They denounce the actions of businesses and corporations that instruct their employees to remove the words “Merry Christmas” from their vocabulary, while on the clock.
Not so on other news networks. Many times, while being interviewed, on those networks, people who’ve experienced tragedy in their lives reference God, saying “thank God” or “thank the Lord”. Never will you hear an interviewer say, in response, “Yes, thank God” or “God was surely with you”. They never acknowledge God in any way, unless it is in a derogatory fashion.
On Christmas Day, 2008, during a live Fox News broadcast, the hosts celebrated Christmas, with genuine joy and happiness. On CNN, at the time, documentaries on Jesus played. They were documentaries that, rather than exalting the birth of Jesus, sought to discredit the virgin birth of Jesus. Typically, they offered no convincing proof of their claims.
The reason talk show hosts and network news broadcasters refuse to acknowledge God is obvious: they are atheists. Case in point, the scathing remarks about, and hateful attitude towards, President George W. Bush, avowed and unabashed Christian. Now we have a president who disavows the reality that America is a Christian nation; and the media are having a love affair with the man.
When happiness is grounded entirely on things of the world, rather than things of the spirit, it will be short-lived. One of the most stark examples of the ephemeral nature of the world is the contrast of the image of John Fitzgerald Kennedy, in his youth, in his prime, in “Camelot”, and the horrible, indelible image of the slain Kennedy lying on a cold, metal gurney, eyes wide open, staring, blankly, at nothing. He woke up on the morning of November 23, 1963, as the most powerful man on planet earth. Before the day would pass, he would be rendered lifeless and powerless, by the bullets of assassin, Lee Harvey Oswald.
Someone wrote: “Elitists will be the death of us all”. I believe that. I’ve never seen an elitist who was not an atheist. By definition, elitism is the “practice of or belief in rule by an elite”. To call oneself a Christian elitist is a contradiction of terms. You can not be humble as the bible exhorts and be an haughty, arrogant elitist.
History is replete with stories of nations and empires that fell and crumbled at the altar of narcissistic elitism. Elitism in America began to raise its head, prominently, during the Clinton presidency and has culminated in the present administration of Barack Obama. Journalists and have noted the inability of Obama to weather criticism. During a speech, on Wednesday, April 29th, he made caustic, oblique remarks about Fox News Network. He has mentioned other critics, such as Sean Hannity, of Fox News, by name. Inability to accept criticism is a mark typical of tyrants.
Critics and opponents of Christianity have universally skewed Biblical scripture and taken an oblique position on the sacred Ten Commandments. While denouncing the bible, they, like spoiled children, ignore salvation from sin and deliverance from harm, offered through adherence to the Ten Commandments. Indoctrinated with teachings of Karl Marx, Ayn Rand, Charles Darwin, and Friedrich Nietzsche, young students soon allow science, politics, and the pursuit of fame and wealth, to become their religion. When those spiritless concepts and philosophies disappoint, they languish with frustration, disillusion, and resentment.
Capt. Kirk, of the spaceship Enterprise, when confronted by spiritless aliens, called “Empaths,” made a comment to the “Empaths,” that was very interesting. When I see or hear people like Hillary Clinton, Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, George Soros, Barack Obama, and other like-minded individuals, for whom intellect and power are the only real gods they know, I think of it. It goes as follows:
“You have no love and compassion in you. You are only intellect.”
