It's time to admit that the letter written by Mr. Long in a recent edition of the Cumberland Times News is absolutely true. Christianity is under assault by elites in the world of media and the arts.
Just this year we saw the president himself ordering the covering of Christian symbols as he spoke in a Georgetown University chapel. This facility has many venues if Obama finds religions other than his own offensive. He did not have to offend Roman Catholics by covering their symbols.
Most recently HBO aired a program called Curb Your Enthusiasm, created by and starring Seinfeld creator Larry David. For some reason, he found it humorous to urinate on a picture of Jesus Christ.
Larry David happens to be Jewish, but I get the feeling that his irreverence would prevent him from showing much outrage over similar treatment meted out to a representation of Moses, David, or any other important figure of his faith. Why? I doubt he has a faithful bone in his body.
Here is the "God's honest truth." David can mock Christian and Jewish figures to his heart's content in the Western world. The same fools that watch his crap (and I have seen this show. Not funny or interesting) will still watch his crap. If he even produced a representation of Mohammed, HBO would refuse to air the show and very likely some terrorist would threaten to kill him. Incidentally, I have old history textbooks in my office that contain Arab produced portraits of Mohammed. I am not sure how the prohibition against his picture ever came about.
Anyway, the usual end to this kind of story is to call for some boycott taht will never materialize. David will never feel market repercussions and HBO will keep airing its show until it gets even less funny than it is right now. Our only recourse is to find ways to hold up the cultural elite and make them look ridiculous. Create an image of the snooty, prissy liberal cultural icon and keep blasting away at the image with humor and satire. David would likely be completely lost on a farm, a back road, or a real job. All these people have is the mean sort of wit that tears down as opposed to real artisitc, or any other kind of positive skills.
