Here we go, Radio Equalizer posts the comments of liberal talk show host Mike Malloy and wife having a bit of racist fun at the expense of Bobby Jindal. Brian also caught a few other racist lefties in the act.

This attack by libs on Gov Jindal just highlights what Rush said the other day. That libs don’t merely attack liberty and the policies of their opponents THEY SEEK TO DESTROY THE PERSON HIS REPUTATION AND CHARACTER. Just ask Bork, Thomas and Bush and now Jindel.

Ignorance of the fact that man has a wounded nature inclined to evil gives rise to serious errors in the areas of education, politics, social action and morals. Larry appears to think I make this stuff up, and suspect he has much company in thinking that way. The first line is a quote from the Catholic Catechism.

Maybe I should take Mike’s suggestion and ask Curt for permission to start a “spiritual and political” thread, with the goal being to point out how the “spiritual determines the political.” The reason would not be because FA’s needs a Catechism teacher for Lent, but merely to demonstrate that demons and evil are not only a core Christian belief, but are very much the core of our current “crisis.”

Based merely on the teachings of Christ, I could make a rock solid case, and it wouldn’t or need be specific to Catholicism, merely Christianity. For starters, it’s the only reason most Americans are baptized! So no Larry, it’s not ME making the claim that you feel I have no right to make, it’s me making the case via the teachings of Jesus, who by the way, was the ONLY PERSON WHO EVER CLAIMED TO BE GOD, period.

My original point was that most of this country is not only Christian, but based in Judeo/Christian values. We spend endless hours debating economic theories and who’s to blame, when in God based reality, the blame can ONLY go…to the demons! Now Larry, if you are still reading, I realize you may find this too extreme for consideration, but being that you are an open minded kind of guy, could you at least for a minute consider, what if it’s true? I’m not out to convert you or anyone else, only to make a rock solid case, based on the teachings of Christ, that our “crisis is spiritual in nature.”

As for the exorcist stuff Larry, for a plethora of reasons, I don’t fault your ignorance, but do suggest that you get your facts before you make such sweeping dogmatic conclusions. Hitler and Stalin both practiced Satanism, as do many today in this country. The “exorcist” in question is none other than Father Amorth of the Vatican. You would be wise to at least read his Wikipedia entry (I’m not a big fan of Wikipedia, but everything in this write up appears to be accurate), or if you are really up for some enlightenment, one of his books.

In conclusion to your quote:

Perhaps it’s incompatible with your particular brand of Christianity not to believe in demons, but, fortunately, you are not empowered by God to make pronouncements such as this which apply to the rest of humanity.

I respectfully disagree. It’s the obligation of every Christian in America to make such a pronouncement of evil, especially within our own government. Lastly, as Jesus himself taught us when he gave us the Our Father, “Deliver us from evil.” I’m only pointed out that the evil Jesus was talking about is absolutely “demon-related.”

p.s. Here’s a few key quotes with the link to my references. This isn’t the place to debate Biblical interpretation, just referencing what the CCC teaches.

II. THE FALL OF THE ANGELS
391 Behind the disobedient choice of our first parents lurks a seductive voice, opposed to God, which makes them fall into death out of envy.266 Scripture and the Church’s Tradition see in this being a fallen angel, called “Satan” or the “devil”.267 The Church teaches that Satan was at first a good angel, made by God: “The devil and the other demons were indeed created naturally good by God, but they became evil by their own doing.”268

395 The power of Satan is, nonetheless, not infinite. He is only a creature, powerful from the fact that he is pure spirit, but still a creature. He cannot prevent the building up of God’s reign. Although Satan may act in the world out of hatred for God and his kingdom in Christ Jesus, and although his action may cause grave injuries – of a spiritual nature and, indirectly, even of a physical nature- to each man and to society, the action is permitted by divine providence which with strength and gentleness guides human and cosmic history. It is a great mystery that providence should permit diabolical activity, but “we know that in everything God works for good with those who love him.”275

A hard battle. . .

407 The doctrine of original sin, closely connected with that of redemption by Christ, provides lucid discernment of man’s situation and activity in the world. By our first parents’ sin, the devil has acquired a certain domination over man, even though man remains free. Original sin entails “captivity under the power of him who thenceforth had the power of death, that is, the devil”.298 Ignorance of the fact that man has a wounded nature inclined to evil gives rise to serious errors in the areas of education, politics, social action299 and morals.

mikeA: That forced cheeriness [Jindal] at the beginning left me flat and I tuned out the remainder of his message. By the time he got serious in the second half (video here) I was gone.

I tend to think the right began the process of attacking Jindal. Just look back at the FA blog post about it and the comments from the right. I had no problem with his speech, and I did listen/read the entire speech.

@openid.aol.com/runnswim:

He based the claim by what one person said in a campaign crowd. Both the LA Times and York investigated and couldn’t find evidence to back up the claim.

You are spreading a false story and that makes you a part of your point.

There are still a lot of Louisianans who don’t believe the sheriff. What the “locals” say is in step with what I’ve observed of the police in the south (at least when

No matter what was the actual sequence of events, Jindal’s presentation just didn’t come off as well as Obama’s. These days, people add up the total package of message and messenger when they compare the things that politicians say. The left will take advantage of any perceived mistake or weakness, n matter how insignificant, and will blow it up and make a federal case out of it. They finally have the powerful combination of oval office and majority in both houses of congress, and they see that this is possibly the only opportunity for a long time to get their programs enacted. They’re going to fight tooth and nail to make the best of the opportunity. As Rahm said, he doesn’t want a crisis to go to waste (even if the *country* goes to waste in the process.)

Like it or not, the GOP needs to meet ot exceed Obama’s “sizzle” in order to capture people’s attention and sell fiscal responsibility.

Jindal is not going to be a viable candidate for President or Vice President. Creationism problem.

To Missy:

The “well worn myth” was still being affirmed by McCain’s campaign manager, 4 years after it was allegedly discredited:

http://www.boston.com/news/globe/editorial_opinion/oped/articles/2004/03/21/the_anatomy_of_a_smear_campaign/

Anyway, it’s not centrally important to my observation that both liberal bloggers and conservative bloggers jump on the merest hint of a rumor and fan it until it goes viral.

In the “old media,” it was always a problem whether or not to “go” with a given story before it had been independently confirmed. With the “new media,” bloggers seldom feel any such devotion to journalistic standards.

I think it’s great to expose a given “smear” as being without substance. What I object to is the implication, by one side or the other, that their particular side is morally superior to the other side, when it is demonstrably clear that many individuals from both sides are more than eager to spread rumor and innuendo, when it serves their purposes to do so.

People who spread false rumors are “pathetic.” Conservatives and liberals aren’t “pathetic” — they simply have different points of view.
