Blame America First
For the past few days I've been cut off from civilization, and I seemed to have missed Michael Jackson's acquittal. Actually, I wouldn't say I missed it; I didn't really follow the trial at all when it was going on. It was more annoying than interesting. But what I do find interesting is how devious right-wing pundits can be in their never-ending struggle to blame us (that is, everyone who isn't a right-wing pundit) for every problem in America.
If you listen to Cal Thomas in Faultless Nation, Michael Jackson was aquitted, not because the jury had a reasonable doubt of his guilt, but because the entire American culture is immoral and sexually promiscuous:
What was missing in virtually all of the commentary and analysis of the verdict was how this case reflects America's moral climate. The narcissistic generation has come full circle, from indulging children to abusing them; from setting standards to removing all taboos. Nothing is wrong any longer, because nothing is right.
It's amazing how these guys can take any subject and twist it for their assault on America's amoral or immoral culture. And for them, any set of morals that isn't their own qualifies as immoral. Frankly, I wouldn't be surprised if they somehow blame Jackson's acquittal on Bill Clinton.
There seems to be a whole clique of pundits that make it their life's work to blame any deviant act on American culture. I think we should nickname this group, so they're easier to identify.
How about, the Blame America First crowd?

You are sorely mistaken by believing that "scientology is just another religion". This faux religion is a dangerous and seditious CULT that hides its nefarious goals carefully from the morons it recruits.
Specifically, L. Ron Hubbard, a HACK science fiction writer who came to notoriety not through his few and feeble self-published sci-fi potboilers, but through his "church", had his very U.S. citizenship REVOKED by the U.S. for anti-American activities. These activities included tax evasion, suspicion of ordering murders and more. He died intestate floating around on a huge Scientology yacht because no civilized European country would accept him, not even France (which says a LOT!).
Time magazine did an expose years ago and attributed the murder of EIGHT journalists directly to Scientology. Here is a link to the article:

Scientologists are NO less seditious, dangerous and misguided than they were 10 years ago... they just have gotten slicker in their marketing pitch.
