Death rattle from a dying industry.
"Who cut the heads off of nonbelievers?"
"We don't like to point fingers"
"Who blew up the buses in Israel?"
"We don't like to point fingers"
"Who whipped women for showing an ankle?"
"We don't like to point fingers"
"Who was the guy that blew up that abortion clinic?"
"Ooh..ohh..it was the Christians. There they are. It was them"
The left is mentally unbalanced.
Hedges ought to flee to a safe non-Christian country before we lay our hands on him!
You are running down the street pursued by a stranger who threatens to kill you. Up ahead you see two choices to escape. Do you run into the Church or do you run into the Mosque?
CERTIFIRD at that!
Liberalism is a mental disease.
I think I caught a few minutes of the assclown on CSPAN a few weeks ago before changing to an Andy Griffith Show rerun.
I think it points out how deranged the fetid swamp aka the Nation is - basically the Daily Worker with a different name.
wheres the outrage? what if someone wrote an article the same exact way but substituted judaism for christianity? its funny how its acceptable to write a hate piece on christianity such as this and still have a job.
His father was a Presbyterian minister and he studied at the Harvard Divinity School
Hedges was part of The New York Times team that won the 2002 Pulitzer Prize for the paper's coverage of global terrorism and he received the 2002 Amnesty International Global Award for Human Rights Journalism.
"I have tasted too much of my own fear. I have painful memories that lie buried and untouched most of the time. It is never easy when they surface."
Hedges writes about lives, including his own, which have been consumed by one of the violations or issues raised by a commandment.
I saw this. It was so full of poor reasoning and general idiocy that it couldn't sway a thinking reader. An unthinking reader, though, is a whole different story.
The thing I found really outrageous was the graphic that went along with the article: a faceless figure giving the fascist salute and holding a flag that was exactly like the old Nazi flag except where there swastika would have been --- there was a cross.
If there is ever anything approaching fascism in this country, it will arise from the hearts and minds of people who "think" like Chris Hedges.
Uh-oh, the 'ilk' word.
This *is* serious...
There are "Christians" of the type Hedges fears.
My brother-in-law was involved with such a group for awhile. Then he grew up and began to see them for what they were.
I would be surprised if they add up to more than 1 or 2% total, split into many viciously fighting groups.
Not even a vague resemblance to the tightly-disciplined Nazi movement.
Oh yes they do....
"Chris Hedges, a senior fellow at The Nation Institute".The Nation Institute is a subversive commie organization. They know 'darn' well that Christianity and GOD in general is their enemy.
As Karl Marx said:
"Religion is the sigh of the oppressed creature, the heart of a heartless world, just as it is the spirit of a spiritless situation. It is the opium of the people."
This commie mutt Hedges is just following up with what Marx said.
someone should ask hedges who is reponsible for economic/ technological advancement in the world today. or how a bout who, what and why are the G8?
or how about the 1:1 correlation of Islam and third world countries?
or how about how they could take a successful nation and plunge it into their world?
sure you can talk about successes in exception ie. in UAE... (in appearance), you have to spend those Henry Ford Foundation petrodollars somewhere. they are still sand people as a people.
7th century barbarians
Just a wild guess, but I'd say Hedges takes it up the ol' cornhole;)
Goebells would be proud of his 'grandchild'...
Accuse your enemy of what you are doing / planning.
Choices, choices!
Odds are it is a liberal church, and instead of helping, anyone there will tell you to 'resist not the evil doer', and to 'turn the other cheek', and to 'pray for' your pursuer.
OTOH, there is a SMALL chance that your pursuer is a Joooo or a Hindu, or a Buddhist, or a member of a different Islamic sect than the mosque; or some other person the Imam hates worse than you...maybe they will off the attacker, give you a chance to "revert" then off you for your refusal. Look at all the extra minutes you gained to "make peace with your Maker"!
Then, again, just maybe, it is a good, solid conservative church. One where they will pray for the soul of the attacker as they neutralize his corporeal threat, then comfort you until the police arrive to haul off the subdued attacker.
Choices, choices, choices.
