I Agree

In Bill O'Reilly's Talking Points story at Fox News yesterday titled Far Left Crisis?, he writes about the collapse of one more left-wing organization. Inspite of the $20 million George Soros has poured into an organization called America Coming Together, run by close Clinton confidante Harold Ickes, it is folding. A centerpiece of Soros' strategy of financing and promoting liberal candidates and attacking conservatives, using internet mud-sling sites and allies in the media, America Coming Together has run out of money and is disintegrating.

Going the same route to oblivion is Air America, a rather dubiously funded radio network that could not support itself due to low ratings and pay back almost $900,000 it owes a certain youth organization.

We share Mr. O'Reilly's take on these developments:

"Talking Points" is thrilled these enterprises are imploding because they're full of character assassins who destroy decent discourse. Karma is a wonderful thing. But we do need responsible voices on the left in this country. -- America is great because legitimate debate sharpens thought and leads to better problemsolving.

We maintain as we have in the past in The LORD My Dad that, as checks and balances are essential in our system of government, the very fabric of our social system in the U.S. of A. relies upon the stability achieved by the healthy tension created by opposing views. The key word is "healthy." Character assasination, dishonesty and deceit, unfairness and one-sidedness must have no place in this system if our society is to thrive.

As Mr. O'Reilly very well puts it:

The quicker George Soros and his stooges leave the stage, the better. But once again, honest liberal thought is vital to a strong democracy. I'd be worried if there's nothing left but the right.

We cannot agree more.
