The Anti-Establishment Letter
In pursuit of the truth – www.cinopsbegone.com – Sunday, July 25, 2010

I believe that progressivism is a 100 year insurgency within our nation. We need to persuade and convert progressives to give truth, common sense and natural law a chance. It is the truth that will set us both free as individuals and as a nation. If we can’t agree then we will vote each other out of office. But we must never change the true nature of America.

I think progressives have a mistaken mindset of America. Their agenda is not historically rational or in tune with our Declaration of Independence, Constitution and beliefs of our Founding Fathers. How did this come about? Sadly, honest journalism seems to be dead in America today. Who are we to believe, the main stream media? Most of us do not have time to check out other sources. This is a tragedy for America and should be of concern to both the progressives and the traditionalist. Is there still character and honesty in these two movements?

Now the writer Jonah Goldberg has come up with an insightful article titled, “An Open Conspiracy to Slant the News.” It appeared on National Review Online, July 23, 2010. So I am waiting for the progressives to respond and hear what they are going to say. It has to do about the term JournoList. It turns out that the “O” in JournoList stands or Obama. Americans are not fools for any news outlet.

Common sense and natural law helps us to arrive at the truth. On the other hand a firm belief in relativism is destructive in solving our nation’s problems. It has to do with power over Americans and forcing them to change their established beliefs by law or culture.

For Christians and in particular Catholics, let’s take a look at appropriately in today’s meditation, taken from Pope Benedict’s book, “Co-Workers of the Truth.”

“There is no such thing as purely objective news report… Our reporting always means a selecting. Therefore every report is an interpretation, even if only because of what is not reported, what is not said. But this means that the technology of reporting without ethics of reporting is inhuman and we must ask ourselves if we have not become on the one hand, giants in technology, but on the other hand infants in the matter of ethics in general and of the ethics of reporting in particular. It is precisely in this context, I think, that the particular task of the Catholic news agency becomes clear. Not only does it bring the vast realm of Church news into contact with the realm of human debate and make it comprehensible, but it exists precisely to develop and put into practice the ethics of reporting.”

Now here is the message for Catholic magazines, America, Commonweal and National Catholic Reporter! Why is Catholic-label Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi a Sacred Cow and an Untouchable? She is no more a Catholic than Adolf Hitler! Also the terrible scandal in 2007 in Massachusetts where Catholic-label politicians blocked the request of 170,000 citizens that a marriage initiative is on the ballot in the election of 2008. That blockage helped Obama win the 2008 election.
