I love it that Chuck Todd of NBC is such consistently a
non-apologetic, ignorant asswipe. I
gotta hand it to the guy….if legal gun owners were a threat to uncircumcised Johnsons’,
Todd would be history YESTERDAY…..the season on idiots is always open and along
with CNN’s Jim Acosta, Todd would be considered a trophy kill.
Now, if you are a Christian, or of the Jewish faith, you
are no stranger to liberal hatred from politicians and the media. That hatred has really gained steam in my generation
and has frankly never been more open than it is now. But, let me as a layman, explain to you why,
in his arrogance, Chuck Todd, in one statement, belittled everything about
Christianity.
If you are even passingly familiar (and I am not sure “passingly”
is a word, but it’ll work for now) with Christianity you know that Christianity’s
“Holy Week” builds to a climax with the Lords’ triumphant entry into Israel,
his trial by the various authorities and his subsequent crucifixion on GOOD
FRIDAY. Followed by the resurrection on
Easter Sunday, Good Friday IS the very essence of the Christian faith. Without the crucifixion and the resurrection,
Christ would be just another wandering shepherd, fisher of men, or whatever you
wish. The crucifixion and the
resurrection DEFINE Christ as the prophesied Son of God and ARE the foundations
for the entire faith.
Todd
wrote in a tweet; “I don’t mean disrespect to the religious aspect of the day,
but I love the idea of reminding folks that any day can become “good,” all it
takes is a little selflessness on our own part. Works EVERY time.” Todd can be forgiven one sanctimonious piece
of arrogance, in that he caveats his disrespecting of the religion, the faith,
by saying he means no disrespect…..he would not be a leftard in good hypocritical
standing were he to fail to say he was NOT doing what he was actually doing. I expect that of him, you should too.
But whether his bullshit
statement about every day becoming good if we all practice a little selflessness,
and that THAT act works every time……that one is a challenge. Initially, if you knew nothing at all about
this left-wing bomb thrower, you might think “Hey, he has a point”. But he doesn’t have the point that he thinks
he is making with his faux erudition. “GOOD”
has nothing to do with behavior. Does Todd
not understand that, or in his effort to undermine the faith, does he
intentionally misrepresent the meaning?
With the media these days it is difficult to determine if they say and
present the wrong thing because of the agenda or because they are dolts. In Todd’s’ case, I suspect it is the agenda….which
makes him a dolt.
My wife is a good woman;
she helps people daily and does far more good for others, me included, than she
will ever be rewarded for on earth. She
tolerates people and their foolishness long after I would have dismembered them
with a 20” Poulan chain saw. BUT, her
being “good” in that sense has ZERO to do with the “good” of Good Friday. And Todd knows that by casting the “Good” of Good
Friday, “Good” meaning Holy, as a “good” that people can do, he is redirecting
the entire conversation AWAY from the faith and the importance of the “Good
Friday” celebration to Christians (WHEW!!!!
Sorry….you might need to read that one a few times).
So, yes, Todd is staying
true to form and casting aspersions on, disrespecting, the religious meaning of
the day, the importance of the day to the worlds Christians, by pretending that
“Good” has nothing to do with the holiness of the day, but rather with our
every day, human behavior.
Which apparently everyone
but he can do better at.
Do you think Todd would
say something similarly ridiculous about Islam and Ramadan (I might, but I have
zero respect for that faith……and it is also none of my damned business,
assuming Muslims will stop killing us)? Think on it…….not too long though because the
answer is no.
Todd is now and will likely
remain an ignorant, arrogant, pretentious fool.
Possibly a GOOD one, but a fool nonetheless.
