David Letterman Proves Culture War Is Real
by Bill O'Reilly
Posted Jan , 2006

Even though the war on terror dominates the headlines, the culture war in America is almost as intense. On one side you have traditionalists, people who believe the country was well-founded, does mostly good things, and has become the most powerful nation on earth by adhering to Judeo-Christian principles like generosity, justice, and self-sacrifice.

On the other side of the culture war are the secular-progressives (S-P's) who believe that the USA is fundamentally a flawed country, which has caused considerable misery both within and outside our borders. The S-P's want drastic change and a new direction for America.

The two most intense issues in the culture war right now are how to deal with terrorism and what role spirituality should play in the public arena.

The S-P's want little or no public displays of God or religion. That's what drove the attacks on Christmas images and traditions; knock down the big Christian holiday, and the secularists achieve a big victory.

On the terror front, traditionalists largely want aggressive action to wipe out the "evildoers," and if lraq is the battlefield, then so be it.

Secular-progressives are appalled by the Iraq war and generally believe the USA has no right to act unilaterally to hunt down terrorists or their enablers.

So the stage was set for my recent appearance on the David Letterman show. I am a traditionalist; Mr. Letterman tends to mock traditionalists. And he often does it very well.

Our discussion began with the Christmas controversy. Dave did not see it as a big deal. When I pointed out the absurdity of a library in Memphis, Tennessee OK'ing a manger scene but then telling the woman donating it that she had to remove Jesus, Mary, Joseph and the three Wise Men, Dave said he did not believe the story. And, generally, that was the opinion of the liberal media: There was no Christmas controversy -- the whole thing was fabricated by religious zealots bent on establishing a theocracy.

Dave's skepticism must have come as a surprise to Memphis resident Brandi Chambless, the woman ordered to remove statues of the Holy Family and their visitors from the East. But, hey, the shepherds could stay, staring into an empty stable.

7. Can we start a pampers drive for this asshole?

What a whiny sniveling idiot--

[peekaloo]

9. Just like O'Lielly to consider there must be a "culture" war

simply because he aligned himself with the televangelistas who demand a theocracy and. . .well, just because HE says so. I have news for him - most Americans thought the whole "war on Christmas" was an outrageous, nasty, ridiculous and stupifying joke. . .and it made lots of people unhappy during a season in which peace and goodwill is supposed to be widespread.

By the way, Billy-boy. . .generosity, justice and self-sacrifice are hardly judeo-christian values that are regularly displayed by the Right. Those values are more selfishness, self-centeredness, hetero-supremacist "justice", and white baby Jesus' displays. Billy doesn't represent a single judeo-christian "value" that I've ever seen except the desire and need to persecute others in order to feel self-important.

11. "Secular-Progressive" - I have yet another label

To go along with liberal pinko baby killing communist. Sweet.


"...generally believe the USA has no right to act unilaterally to hunt down terrorists or their enablers." - Bill, you're psychotic. Get help. Quick. You see, it's we Secular-Progressives who want to go after Osama bin Laden, the one terrorist who poses a threat to the Good Ole USA. It's you and your psychotic right wing nut friends who are ignoring the true threat.

[A Simple Game]

17. Replacing liberal pinko baby killing communist,

with Secular-Progressive.

Sounds like a step up to me. Keep up the good work!

[Marnieworld]

12. The man is out of his mind

[LittleClarkie]

13. Are Secular Progressives sort of like Islamo-fascists?

As in made up to fit a concept that the right has, but with no real basis in reality?

Nothing wrong with being secular mind you. And it might be argued that, even though some of us formed our sense of justice from our faith and see what we do here as a fulfillment of that faith, the progressive movement is not a religious movement, and therefore would be called secular I suppose.

But not all of us are secular over here. Someone on a thread about O'Reilly a while back said that if you're religious, then Bill wasn't talking to you. I figured that gave the man too much credit. I believe he, and of course the Right, want people to think that if you believe in God, you should be a Republican. I know the freepers around here seem to think that. When I mention I'm headed for church, or when they saw my picture in the paper praying on Nov. 2nd at the volunteer party, their comment is "if you go to church, why aren't you a Republican?" or "Don't you know God is a Republican?" or somesuch.

Not that the people saying that go to church, mind you.

It bugs me. The progressive movement is neither secular or religious, in that both believers and non-believers participate. Mr. O'Reilly would have us believe otherwise.

And I suppose the culture war is like the war on Christmas, also made up.

(rambling again)

15. Quit your crying, O'Reilly!

Get over it, falafel boy!

[Warren DeMontague]

16. I'm still waiting to hear his alibi

after all, someone recently planted a bomb in San Francisco, an activity he has been enthusiastically encouraging.

[proud2BlibKansan]

19. Hey good point

I wonder if he will be questioned about that.

[Frank Cannon]

18. O'Reilly is a wet-pantied COWARD who runs away crying...

to "debate" anyone who JUST handed him his @$$ on national television. Like any other worthless bully, the poor little idiot can NEVER fend for himself when he's actually placed on the spot. How could he? That would actually take courage and just a half-cup of brains! But he ALSO has to have an extra few days to figure out "his official response"--composed far, far away from his "mean ol'" challenger!

O'Reilly could have faced off with David Letterman right there and then, on the spot, if he'd had a gram of courage and intelligence--but NO, he was just too weak and too stupid to do it.

O'Reilly's worthless.

He's weak.

O'Reilly is...

worthless and weak.

And that's all you need to know.
