Y’all gotta admit...
There’s a certain...elegance...in the fact that this Delta Variant is going to be taking out several generations of, well, for lack of an elegant word, idiots.
It’s Natural Selection. Selecting for Intelligence.
That’s pretty kick-ass.
Oh, and bad people. Like hate-radio hosts.
That’s pretty kick-ass, too!
I’m kinda sorta maybe seein’ a pattern here with these Right-Wing Hate Radio talk guys. Droppin’ like flies, they are. I like it!

The Irony of Coincidence
By Stephen Jay Morris

One Conservative, boasting about his ratings on his terrestrial radio show, is equivalent to the Captain of the Titanic, bragging about his ship. That radio your grandparents listened to was once the center of the American entertainment world. There was a time when psychologists and social-critics worried that Americans were spending more time listening to the radio than reading books!
I wrote many pieces about this subject, the radio. 1987, The Fairness Doctrine was repealed. That meant you didn’t have to give equal time on your radio show to political opponents. As a result, Rush Limbaugh was born and an excrescence of clones emerged.
Thanks to Howard Stern’s influence, Conservative radio used shock radio techniques, like name calling and crassness, to attack Liberals and anybody on the Left wing, political spectrum. What was really contradictory was their use of Rock & Roll as bumper music. Historically, Conservatives detested “that jungle music.” People like Michael Savage sounded like one of those “professional wrestlers” on television. It was so gimmick driven.
Critics labeled it, “Hate Radio.” Oh, the Right wing talk jocks despised that label. However, the angry white guy ingurgitated it like it was apple pie. I’ve got to admit that this format was successful for a couple of decades.
So, what killed Right wing radio? Was it the liberal news media? Fake News? Was it a conspiracy from George Soros and the globalists? No! It was technology! It was the Millennials! Who wants to listen to some Narcissists talk about themselves and brag about the USA? The radio is not interactive; you hear it, but it doesn’t hear you! Oh, you can call into the station, but lots of luck on getting on the air! Some people with low self-esteem like to be lectured to. However, normal people hate being treated like some stupid dolt! Terrestrial radio is becoming so obsolete, that car manufacturers don’t even install it as a standard feature unless you request it. I think I wrote that factoid in another article of mine. Whatever..
Now lets go back in time, to the 1930s, to the first Hate-Radio broadcaster. Only in America could this have occurred…it was a Catholic Priest! Not some WASP plumber from the south, but a Catholic Priest! Father Charles Edward Coughlin, originally from Canada, became an American citizen and the priest of a church located in Royal, Michigan. The church’s name was “Shrine of the Little Flower.” It is a beautiful name for a lovely church. It is actually now considered an architectural landmark! Father Coughlin, like most characters on the political Right, was a man of a million contradictions. He started as a Lefty, then took a swan drive to the ultra Right! Most Right wing apostates have an ulterior motive in making that move: the usual M.E.P.: Money…Ego…Power!
He would broadcast from his church and 30 million people would listen. This was the 1930’s, and the American people were broke and scared. They wanted answers to why they were so miserable! Father Coughlin gave them answers, but the wrong ones. He was a demagogue on the airwaves who appealed to gullible, White Catholics.
The Vatican didn’t think too much about Father Coughlin. In fact, he was an embarrassment to the Church. True, the Roman Catholic Church was conservative on moral issues, but they were liberal on politics. But, Father Coughlin went on an Anti-Semitic crusade while attacking other minorities, as well. He evoked the usual Anti-Semitic clichés: like the Jews ran the banks and the Jews ran the media. He claimed that most Jews were either Communists or successful businessmen. There was a conspiracy angle to his rhetoric, wherein he spewed that Jews were involved in political conspiracies in the U.S., with the objective to corrupt the country. It wouldn’t be long before conspiracy groups emerged, such as the John Birch Society of the late 50s, espousing conspiracy theories about the political Left. This is why we now have an Alex Jones on the air.
So, why am I talking about a virulent, Anti-Semite like Father Coughlin? I seem to have a lot of coincidences in my life, and this is one of particular note. Could it be metaphysical or coincidental? Could it be Subjective or Objective reality? One of the biggest days of my life was producing the “Rock Against Racism” free concert at MacArthur Park in Los Angeles, California, on October 27, 1979. The idea was about musicians taking a stand against racism. One of the biggest racists in history died on that very day: Father Coughlin. If it was not spiritual, then it was highly symbolic! Ironically, I only learned that fact a week ago. Learning that completely vindicated me from the assumption that I had wasted my time and money on that event. I’m so at peace to realize: I hadn’t.
