Bill O’Reilly was interviewing Bernie Goldberg tonight. During the interview Goldberg was attempting to convince O’Reilly that not until the majority of the American people are made aware of the depths of depravity that the Benghazi, IRS and AP scandals represent will anything of substance be done to bring real justice (however that may be defined) to the situation.

His arguments were brilliant.

O’Reilly countered with the fact that Jay Leno and Jon Stewart seem to be picking up on the stories and pounding the administration night after night, and said that Bernie was being entirely too pessimistic, because we should all be heartened by Leno’s and Stewart’s focus on the scandals, even though the criticism is done in a comedic vein.

… which provided further evidence to me (as if any were needed) that Bill O’Reilly continues to be dangerously shallow and naïve.

America is on the brink of constitutional collapse and rampant government tyranny. Goldberg’s argument that the only way that can be avoided is if the majority of the populace gets their heads out of the sand and begin paying attention. Yet O’Reilly believes that two uninformed entertainers making nightly jokes about the scandals provides a ray of hope that the populace will muster sufficient outrage to demand justice.

The theory that the shallow mention of such abominations on the part of two late-night talk show hosts might save our republic from demise is ludicrous.

That the majority of the populace is too busy watching So You Think You Can Dance to pay sufficient attention to the fact that their country is being hijacked by Constitution-hating elitists who believe themselves to be above the law, and who are bent on instituting iron-fisted tyranny, no matter the cost, is real reason for concern. And nothing Jay Leno or Jon Stewart happen to be doing is relevant to the insidious path that that evil is choosing to take.

If a nation expects to be ignorant and free in a state of civilization, it expects what never was and never will be … Thomas Jefferson to Charles Yancey, 1816. ME 14:384
