Bad Eagle speaks - from David Yeagley’s Weblog

Coulter, Queen of Conservatives from the Bad Eagle Journal It's official. NBC has named Ann Coulter "Conservative Queen." (Hope For America has posted the video clip of her interview with Matt Lower on NBC's TODAY show.) It was sub-titled, "Coulter's Assault on Liberal America." Queen Coulter Matt does a pretty poor job, but, let's give him two points for trying--that is, for being brave enough to encounter Ann Coulter at all. (Of course, he was no doubt commanded to, by higher powers--fearful of repercussions if he didn't.) Matt, like most modern male hosts, simply doesn't have the IQ to have a conversation the "Queen of Conservatives." His barbs were terribly off-target. Quite prejudicial, actually. (Harry Smith was an even weaker challenger on CBS. Of course, Ann is being relatively cool to this incompetents, because she's trying to promote her new book.) About all Ann's supposed critics can do is criticize her sense of caustic humor, claiming it interferes with her "serious" points. Why all this ado? Ann's new book, Guilty? Or, rather, the fact that her scheduled NBC's Today interview was cancelled, or 'bumped' twice? The immediate reaction of Matt Drudge was a published report that said very clearly that Ann Coulter was banned from NBC, forever. The nation's top selling conservative author has been banned from appearing on NBC, insiders tell the DRUDGE REPORT. "We are just not interested in anyone so highly critical of President-elect Obama, right now," a TODAY insider reveals. But a second top suit strongly denies there is any "Coulter ban". "Look for a re-invite, as soon as Wednesday," said the news executive, who asked not to be named. NBC's TODAY show abruptly cut Ann Coulter from its planned Tuesday broadcast, claiming the schedule was overbooked. WorldNetDaily immediately reported the "ban" with great drama, (but was careful not to mention the Drudge Report): 'It's over': Ann Coulter banned for life by NBC 'We are just not interested in anyone so highly critical of President-elect Obama' Of course, NBC immediately denied it; the New York Post denied it, etc. The explanation was that she was simply bumped because of "over-scheduling," or that Gaza news took precedence. (Tony Blair, to be specific.) Why, NBC had re-scheduled her (when?) from the start. It was all then an NBC publicity stunt? There is something very serious going on here. The NBC "insider" who spoke to Drudge did so either intentionally, or else made a serious faux pas. In other words, the individual either intended this "ban" be known, immediately, or spoke completely out of turn, with no authority to do so. In any case, NBC has not revealed the name of the individual. Nor have any additional reports ensued. We're left to understand the incident as an innocent misunderstanding, dramatized by media--for higher ratings, obviously. But Coulter is not a game player. They can try to play with her, but she doesn't play. She's sincere. She is completely independent. The liberal media personnel are all part of tight machinery. Rather sinister machinery. I can't see her taking part in this, willingly. If it was a self-serving NBC stunt, it nevertheless suggests just what all conservatives are surmising--that censorship is on its way. Serious, job-killing, career-ending censorship. Hillary Clinton and Nancy Pelosi have been advocating this for some time. For Hillary, it was a matter of first getting control over the internet. (See, Richard Lawrence Poe, Hillary's Secret War: The Clinton Conspiracy to Muzzle Internet Journalists, 2004). For Pelosi, it's all about reviving the Fairness Doctrine. Fortunately, for Queen Ann, her notoriety and accouterments of power (i.e., friends in high places), she could not be censored for more than a day or so. But the gesture was made. The act was committed. The words were published. The idea was implemented. It happened. If for only a day--she was censored. It is in fact ominous. The rest of us could never recover. It's survival for the successful. Big time successful. Others can be easily banned, censored, libeled, discredited, etc., with no recourse, no defense, and no hope. That is the message here. Someone of Ann Coulter's status can survive such an attack. Lesser lights would go forever out. The Queen of Conservatives was essentially and in fact the first martyr of Hussein America. She resurrected, but, the tone is set: beware, conservative commentators, all. The honor is hers, but the war is ours. by David Yeagley on 07 January 2009 | Comments: 11

 

David Yeagley’s Latest Editorial from the Bad Eagle Forums

Death of an Adventist Dr. Samuele Bacchiocchi Death of an Adventist By David Yeagley Dr. Samuele Bacchiocchi (bah-ki-ok-i) professor and scholar most famous for his book, From Sabbath to Sunday—on how the Christian observance of Sabbath was changed to Sunday observance, died this past Sabbath, December 20, 2008, at the age of only 70. Dr. Samele Bacchiocchi, 1938-2008. Dr. Bacchiocchi was the first non-Catholic to graduate from the Pontifical Gregorian University in Rome.  He obtained his doctorate, summa cum laude, in 1974, with the special honor of a gold medal presented to him by the Pope Paul IV.   His thesis was on the change of Sabbath (Saturday) observance by the early Christians (who were Jewish) to the observance of Sunday by later Christians (who were not Jewish).  The research was all done at the Vatican libraries.   Bacchiocchi’s book was published by the Pontifical Gregorian University Press in 1977, with the papal symbol (the tiara and crossed keys) on the cover, and the Vatican’s official written imprimatur on the inside.   Samuele Bacchiocchi was born to Seventh-day Adventists parents, just outside Rome, in 1938.  He was educated in Adventist institutions, and lectured in Bible studies and history in Ethiopia from 1964-1969.  Then he returned to Rome and entered the Pontifical Gregorian University to begin his doctoral studies.   When his book on the Sabbath was published, I was Yale Divinity School.   Some of my professors were quite interested in Bacchiocchi’s work.  I sold a few copies for him.  I was in fact acquainted with Dr. Bacchiocchi since that very time.  I corresponded with him, and eventually met with him several times.  (Not too many years ago, he was preaching in Oklahoma City, and I had the honor of singing before him and the church.  I sang in Italian, naturally—“Quale gioia, e Quale piaciere!”  Dr. Bacchiocchi remarked to the congregation that he had never in America been honored with a hymn sung in Italian.) Dr. Bacchiocchi wrote many other books.  His chief works expounded the distinct doctrines of the (protestant) Seventh-day Adventist church.   His second book, in fact, was on the meaning and observance of the Sabbath:  Divine Rest for Human Restlessness.  He went on to write about the role of women in the church, and another on wine.  He took the “orthodox” Adventist position in all his works, meaning, the conservative, traditional, or “strict” view (that is to say, women cannot be ordained as priests or ministers, and that no alcoholic drinks can be allowed in the Christian’s life, etc.).  This caused many to wonder whether or not he was in fact a salubrious influence in the church.  Many looked at him as a trouble maker.  Some even issued the malicious gossip that he was actually a Jesuit who had infiltrated the Adventist Church! Such is the fate of any purist.   Such is the experience of any conservative. There is always the illusion of going backwards—only because the popular trends are off base.  Anyone who holds to the original concepts, who honors the blueprints, seems to be relatively off track himself.   Orthodoxy versus development, progress, or evolution—this is the choice coerced upon us. This dilemma itself may be nothing more than a political ploy. Any philosopher, psychologist, or even a good historian, has seen the patterns of human behavior.   Orthodoxy and change are two coetaneous elements.  They exist side by side, always.  History is a constant sway from one condition toward the other.   Bacchiocchi was an orthodox Adventist, that’s all.  An Italian by culture, yes, but his works expounded Adventist doctrine.  He believed these were all biblically based.  He simply tried to demonstrate this through rational, scholarly work.   Of course, that’s my view.   When Richard Poe and his wife Marie were visiting me here in Oklahoma, I was introduced to another view of Dr. Bacchiocchi.  Richard was unfamiliar with him, but was quite concerned about the “imprimatur” bit on the Vatican book.  Richard seriously questioned whether Bacchiocchi’s Sabbath to Sunday book carried the official imprimatur.  I showed him the book.  He looked at it carefully, and was still unconvinced.  In turn, he showed me a Catholic devotional book he had brought with him, and said it contained a real, genuine imprimatur.   He insisted there was reason to doubt the Bacchiocchi Vatican imprimatur.   All I could say was this:  if Bacchiocchi’s work was in any way fraudulent, I was quite sure the Roman Church would have made it known long ago.   Rome honored Bacchiocchi.  That is a fact.   In any case, from an Adventist point of view, Bacchiocchi was "orthodox."  From a Catholic view, he was merely “progressive.” (59) comments [ View Comments | Print Article | Read more articles... ]
