I know leftists are having a field day attacking
religion because of the Catholic scandal about child
molestation. I hate that, but it is no excuse.
"Only a percent or two of priests are accused."
How many populations outside of ex-cons have one
or two percent of their numbers accused of a single
felony? In any case, this too is an excuse for absolutely
nothing.
The overwhelming majority of those molested were
teenaged boys.
But homosexuals are an Officially Protected Minority,
so we cannot blame homosexual priests. So someone
has come up with a word for someone who goes after
teenage boys. They say those perverts are something
different from homosexuals, you see.
This is the kind of Politically Correct crap that
got the Church into this mess in the first place.
See February 23, 2002 - WHAT
HAPPENS WHEN CHURCHES APPEAL TO A HIGHER MORAL AUTHORITY.

OUR PERMANENT
SNOOZE BUTTON

Cardinal Law of Boston has been exposed for covering
for child molesting priests for a generation. He
was so bad that the only thing standing between
him and a prison cell is his red hat.
Cardinal Law's job, his ONLY job, is Christian
morality. So Cardinal Law just announced that the
fact that he has been exposed is a "wakeup call."
He says that this should wake him up to start paying
some attention to Christian morality.
See February 23, 2002 - WHAT
HAPPENS WHEN CHURCHES APPEAL TO A HIGHER MORAL AUTHORITY.
The only job of the INS is to enforce American
immigration law. They just got two wild scandals
which they called "wake up calls" to enforce the
American immigration law.
The ONLY job of the giant security apparatus of
the United States is to gather information critical
to American security. The death of three thousand
Americans on September 11, 2001, has been repeatedly
referred to as "a wakeup call" to make America's
security agencies start gathering information critical
to American security.
For the first three years of Whitaker Online, I
kept groaning and shouting about the fact that nobody
is required to do anything that WORKS (see WhitakerOnline
archives 1998-2001, passim). All you need to
be a big man in security or the INS or any large
church is the right degrees and approval from the
other bureaucrats.
There is no substitute for making people do their
jobs. Nothing is a substitute for getting rid of
people with paper credentials if they do NOT do
their jobs. There is no room for any compromise
on this.
Until we build a complete revolution on the basis
of this uncompromising position, all the death and
agony we are getting is exactly what we ask for.

REMEMBER
THE RAGGED KNEE AWARD?
|

It is always important to remind ourselves where respectable
conservatives come from.
For over half a century liberals have been in absolute
control of every form of national media.
In 1950, there were four television networks. There were
CBS, NBC and ABC, which were solidly liberal, and there
was PBS which was extreme left and was paid for by our
tax dollars. Back then, a balanced debate consisted of
two liberal Republicans and three liberal Democrats. There
simply were no conservative spokesmen in the national
media.
Over the ensuing decades a handful of carefully selected
conservatives were allowed some air time. Naturally, they
were those that liberals felt comfortable and safe with,
like William F. Buckley.
This was the exact opposite of a plot. It was the most
natural development in the world. Liberals would try out
conservatives for spokesmen jobs - I was on PBS a couple
of times - and the ones who made liberals feel uncomfortable
were not asked back.
When a group gets to select the opposition it feels comfortable
with, it is not going to pick the best and the brightest.
In this process, morons and cowards will come out ahead.
Above all, liberals did not ask conservatives back who
hit them on issues that really hurt. Once again, it was
the exact opposite. They liked the rightist spokesmen
who would help them avoid really hurtful discussions.
So what happened was very natural:
We ended up with conservative spokesmen who, if someone
talked about something that could really hurt liberals,
would lead a lynch mob against them. When a liberal says
"extremist" or "naziwhowantstokillsixmillionjews" it is
respectable conservatives who scream for the blood of
the heretic.
When liberals condemn, respectable conservatives either
scream for blood or grovel. If their boss liberal calls
some other right winger a name, respectable conservatives
scream for his blood. But if a liberal finds that his
pet conservative has himself said something heretical,
the conservative goes to his knees and begs forgiveness.
So if anyone says something about whites being wiped
off the map, the respectable conservative screams for
his blood. If the respectable conservative himself says
something nice about whites and his liberal notices it,
he grovels and apologizes.
At the top of the heap among respectable conservatives
are the Grovelers Extraordinaire, the ones who hit their
knees instantly and hard at any hint of heresy. Their
physical knees get bloody, their pants knees get ragged.
Once a year, I give the Ragged Knee Award to the champion
respectable conservative grovelers.
Remember that we are dealing here with people who have
made a career of being such cowardly morons they were
actually selected for it by the liberals. So the competition
for the best of all these professional grovelers is fierce.

LAST
YEAR'S RAGGED KNEE AWARD
|
| |
The average conservative has the memory of a fly on LSD.
So last year's Ragged Knee recipient will astonish this
year's conservative community.
No one fought for the leftist agenda with less regard
for human decency than did Clinton's Attorney General
Janet Reno. Bill was a flagrant sociopath, but Reno put
on airs of having a conscience. She stopped every investigation
of Clinton after he reappointed her for his second term.
So Bush appointed John Ashcroft to succeed Reno, and
he did every bit as good a job as she did for the political
left. The right threw away all its power to get him confirmed
and he paid them back in wonderful respectable conservative
style. He condemned everything liberals condemned and
stopped everything that worried Clinton at least as well
as Reno had ever done.
See April 28, 2001 - THE
RAGGED KNEE AWARD. So last year's Ragged Knee Award
was earned by Attorney General John Ashcroft.
As always, last year's biggest turncoat is this year's
conservative hero.

Neoconservatives are the liberals who, around 1970, suddenly
realized that the left was turning public opinion against
them and therefore switched sides.
In 1950, the word "liberal" was a compliment. By 1970,
no one wanted to be called a liberal, even in New York
politics. The real rats among the liberals could feel
the water coming up around their necks. So they jumped
ship by dropping the liberal label and calling themselves
"neoconservatives."
As one neoconservative put it, "I was a social democrat
and I am a social democrat."
In the 1950s and 1960s conservatives had told all the
liberals that liberalism would lead to treason and policy
disasters. Neoconservatives say that nothing liberals
did before 1970 was wrong.
Neoconservatives say that one day about January 1, 1970,
liberalism switched from absolute rightness to disaster.
At that moment they became neoconservatives, so they were
right before that to be liberals and they were right after
that to sell liberals out.

Nothing is more natural than that respectable conservatives
would worship neoconservatives.
Respectable conservatives were thrilled that these neoconservatives
who had been in the media and in the government as liberals
were now willing to have lunch with them. Respectable
conservatives went nuts when neoconservatives started
to write for them.
Respectable conservatives could not believe that these
Great Men who had previously only associated with the
media moguls among their fellow liberals now talked to
THEM!
As the hard-core liberal ship went down, conservatives
not only welcomed the rats aboard the conservative ship,
they gave them the helm.
As William Buckley keeps saying, "People talk about rats
deserting the ship. Well, why shouldn't they?"
After all, some of those rats are his best friends.
David Horowitz, who screamed anaziwhowsantstokillsixmillionjews
to prevent any opposition on racial issues on campus when
he was a leftist, is now in charge of the conservative
civil rights debate.
You see, says Horowitz, he did help crush all opposition
to integration on campus by calling anyone who did not
lie about race anaziwhowantedtokillsixmillionjews. Now
he demands to know why there is not free speech on racial
issues on college campuses.
According to neoconservatives, shrieking down all serious
discussion of race before January 1, 1970, was the act
of an Idealist, but on January 1, 1970, for no reason,
it got ugly.

THE
RAGGED KNEE AWARD FOR 2002
|
|
Conservatives have given their movement to the neos. They
condemn anything that challenges liberal policies prior
to January 1, 1970, especially those aimed at getting
rid of white people.
So when David Horowitz holds up a photo of Martin Luther
King to respectable conservatives, they fall on their
stomachs so hard that their knees are actually the highest
points on their bodies.
Respectable conservatives were always good at groveling
to liberals, but I never realized how incredibly good
they were at groveling until the neoconservatives started
speaking to them.
So the Ragged Knee Award this year goes to the conservative
worshippers of David Horowitz. They have earned it and
they will earn it more as the days go by.
