Charges that Amy Coney Barrett’s Catholic “dogmatism” renders her unfit to sit on America’s Supreme Court are falling from the sky like raindrops. So arrogant, so devoid of self-awareness, so utterly consumed by bias are those “progressives” making this charge, that they are apparently unaware of the fanatical, fundamentalist nature of their own Dogmatic vision of Reality.
Beginning from a position of intellectual/moral Relativism, with an Irony that is almost unfathomable, “progressives” present their world-view as the only one which anyone who isn’t an idiot would even consider endorsing!!!!! How can Relativists make such a statement? Intellectuals habitually deconstruct the cultural regimes of the past, excoriating the tyranny of the various arbitrary points of view that came to dominate their eras. No doubt the Postmodern Bias of today’s “intellectuals” and the Culture they have infected will be so excoriated sometime in the future.
Impartiality in the mainstream news media is a thing of the past. Those at CNN, The N.Y. Times, the CBC and Toronto Star who purport to bring you just the news, are channeling every item of political import through the filter of their flagrant biases. Facts which do not suit their narrative are simply deleted. Questions directed at those who hold certain “conservative” views are charged with the scorn and skepticism of their questioners. Most troubling of all is that those suckling mindlessly at the teat of the mainstream media are by and large convinced that they are getting the unequivocal Truth rather than a grossly simplified if not perversely distorted version of it.
Should one cite the Rebel here in Canada as a source of information, one is invariably derided for putting faith in an obviously biased media outlet. But the Rebel is open and honest about its agenda, as is Fox News in the States, each announcing itself as an alternative to the dominant world-view, while the pimps of that perspective falsely present themselves as purveyors of the Truth, pure and simple.
Some Items of Leftist Egalitarian Dogma: Western Civilization is the most pernicious moral force in all of history; systemic Racism and a fundamental disrespect for the Environment are inherent aspects of its domination; many of North America’s Indigenous continue to live in squalor because the White man has left them no other choice; the fact that a significant number of those Blacks killed by the police in the States have a criminal history is irrelevant; Man does not have Free Will and cannot be held accountable for his actions [unless, of course, he is the member of a “ruling elite”]; disparities in the accomplishments of various Civilizations are of little significance; there is no co-relation between race and intelligence; biological distinctions between Men and Women have nothing to do to with statistical differences in their social-economic roles; indeed all people, when spared the arbitrary impact of circumstance, are more or less EQUAL!
To any informed, Rational human being, every one of the above assertions is eminently debatable, some, demonstrably wrong. To those herds slavishly addicted to the dominant Zeitgeist, they are not even worthy of discussion.
I have recently watched mindless, arrogant a-holes such as Bill Mahr, Trevor Noah and Seth Meyers heap mockery and abuse upon Amy Coney Barrett for her dogmatic Catholic beliefs, each of them, apparently, unaware of the naive, simplistic, amoral and ultimately valueless delusions of their own “dogmatic” world-view.
