The assumption that true conservatives will stand fast until the end is not true. We can be defeated. It is not a defeat by those who hate us but a defeat by those who sympathize with us but are unwilling to stand with us. I call it the “Judas syndrome”. Judas Iscariot knew that Jesus could feed the hungry, heal the sick, cure the lame, open the eyes of the blind. How did he know? It was because he witnessed such good things with his own eyes.!! Judas knew that Jesus could turn water into wine, could walk on a stormy sea and was himself the water of eternal life. But Judas didn’t support Jesus in what he perceived to be Jesus’ mission. Rather, Judas thought that the mission of Jesus should be the same as the mission of Judas. Therefore, Judas was willing to challenge Jesus for the leadership by an act of betrayal in the belief that such as act would force Jesus to abandon his own mission and embrace the Judas agenda. Judas did not understand that Jesus would resist the Judas agenda even though it meant crucifixion, death and burial. The end result, in terms of Jesus, was salavation. But the end result for a Judas’ betrayal ,today, is defeat and existential disaster. Sadly, many today believe that the defeat of Fox new will be temporary and that a new and better news vehicle will arise. They forget that the follwers of Jesus has an unexpected ace. Namely, Jesus risen from the dead!! O’Reilly is not Jesus. His followers are not disciples. And neither Bill , nor they , will rise from the dead. The end result? It will be abandonment by the Fox news followers after the defeat of O’Reilly. It will be a dispersion of these followers into a vast universe of media. And it will abandonment of hope by his followers who recognize that the back room assasination policy of the Democrat political machine cannot be permanently defeated. Therefore, the O’Reilly people will go home. They will build their walls of protection. They will abandon the public square of discussion and civil discourse and eventually they will die. The end will be a victory of the far left. It will be the subversion of the all too compliant middle and the obliteration of the right. A sad day for America-which is the last great hope of freedom. Why? Because those in the media who enjoyed the freedom, played a game of “chicken” with the “right” to prove that the “right” could not withstand the alliance of the middle with the left. They will be proven to be correct. But the result will be the obliteration of the middle along with the right because that was the long term plan of the left all along,.
The News Media is Defeating Itself.
