Emmys, and things that matter

So Kathy Griffin won an Emmy (don't quite know how), and she uses her chance to crack some offensive jokes. Now she boasts being censored. But why was she censored? The religious zealots are happy because she said such blasphemous things (saying that Jesus had nothing to do with her winning her award, and then basically saying she worships her award as an idol.) But the show biz folk are mad? I guess I didn't get the memo that they weren't anti-religion again. Well, anti-Christianity anyway. But if you get past the knee jerk reaction of "oh! that blasphemous heathen..." you might see that Griffin was not mocking religious belief so much as she was mocking the entertainment business itself. How many times has a rapper won an award and credited either God, Jesus, Allah, or whatever? You know, the rapper who's album nominated for the award had one song about God, and the rest about murder, drugs, anonymous sex, and materialistic things like diamonds and shiny rims. And how many actors, actresses, and the likes, would you say worship their own fame and themselves rather than a higher being, or nothing at all for those alleged atheists out there? No, no, my friends. Kathy Griffin doesn't seem to be making fun of Christianity; seems to me she's talking down to all her colleagues. Why else do you think they wanted to censor her? Have you heard of another recent example of Hollywood choosing not to bash Christianity? I can't. It's too bad the religious leaders condemning her don't see what I do.

Now the question becomes, why do I focus on this and not the fact that, say, Israel took out nuclear materials in Syria from North Korea. (Yes, you read that right.) Or that Hillary Clinton has not only proposed socialized medicine, but has not yet decided whether or not illegal immigrants will get coverage on our dollar (meaning they will). I focus on this because it is the perfect example of the culture war at large. Someone within criticizes an anything-goes, anti-Christianity, commu-fascist liberal organization: the entertainment business. She is censored for it by that industry, not because of any religious outrage, but because she dared speak out against them. Meanwhile, the religious right, the strongest advocates for morality and decency, are too inept to see what has really happened, and merely follow their knee-jerk reaction of condemning her for what she said on the surface. Here we see that the side for morality is so "good" that they often only think in two dimensions. Drone thinkers, all of them.

So the "left," the side that will grind away at morality and decency until nothing is left except debaucherous perverted sickness rivaling that of the Roman Empire circa 200 A.D., is easily able to censor one of its own critics. And the "right," the side that would oppose this society-eroding nonsense- the only hope for the survival for this country- is duped into thinking that they have actually won a battle and that some good is done, when in actuality they just went along with the silencing of someone doing them a favor. Can you see why this distresses me? Who will win this aptly named "culture war" if this is how the sides play it out?
