The Media Shames Itself with Easter Stupidity

RUSH: You know what the second most threatening assault on our culture and society is? Stupidity. The stupidity or ignorance, I don’t know what you want to call it, of many Americans who don’t even know the foundational things that make up Western civilization simply because they’re no longer taught.

Have you ever looked at the Washington Post or the New York Times write about Easter? I paid attention to this over the weekend. It is astoundingly embarrassing. NPR. They did a report on Easter. They haven’t the slightest idea what it is. And it’s only the bedrock of the Judeo-Christian ethic here that forms one of the serious foundations of Western civilization.

Here is how the NPR blog described Easter. Ready for this? “Easter — the day celebrating the idea that Jesus did not die and go to hell or purgatory or anywhere at all, but rather arose into heaven — is on Sunday.” That is the NPR! This is what liberals swear to and they swear by it. NPR is their primary source authority. Let me read this to you again. This is NPR’s blog describing Easter.

Quote, “Easter — the day celebrating the idea that Jesus did not die and go to hell or purgatory or anywhere at all, but rather arose into heaven — is on Sunday.” So according to NPR, Jesus was wandering around one day after coming off the cross and just shot up to heaven! Didn’t go to Purgatory, didn’t die, didn’t go to hell. He just shot up there to heaven. He rose up there and a bunch of stupid, idiot Christians are gonna celebrate this or something like it on Sunday.

I think this anti-Christian fear — and that’s exactly what it is, and it’s been the growing, and it’s been going on really intensely I’m telling you for it is last 30 years, if not before. There’s always been an anti-Christian bigotry in this country, but they were the minority. But now it’s swelling, and it is an active part of the Democrat Party platform — anti-Christianity, — for a host of reasons.
