So once again the political left declares their stupidity on Adventist Today. In the article The End of the World as We Know It by Vinnie MacIsaac the pastor of Solid Rock Seventh-day Adventist Church in Arlington, Virginia we read this bit of foolishness:
"Others dove off the stupid and reckless cliff of believing it is all a conspiracy, or some kind of political trick one side is playing on the other. This line of reason perhaps bothers me the most, because it is careless, and people buying into this point of view are putting real lives at risk. I just want to scream at them to shut up before they get someone they know killed! (Here’s a clue: if your political bias starts putting people at risk, it is not your political party but you who are unhinged!)
Lastly, there are those who use this as an excuse to be a racist. (The crisis didn’t make them racists. Such people were always racist but this was their chance to do it without being called out.) No, this is not a Chinese or Asian disease; it is a human global disease. One on-air TV morning news show actually had the gall to demand an apology from China! "
Someone they know killed...oh please. But notice this about the political bias. Clearly, there is a very political leftist bias by the author as he goes on to talk about people who say the Chinese virus or Wuhan virus are racists. Even though that is just a description which all the news used until they decided they could attack Trump on his use of "Chinese virus". This is a big issue to Democrats and the democrat media. You can read some of those quotes here. Watch the clips here.
As for the gall to demand an apology from China. Well, there is going to be a lot more than that as There are a number of congresspersons introducing assorted Bills dealing with Chinese actions. Such https://news.yahoo.com/hawley-stefanik-introduce-bill-investigate-150928064.html
Senator Josh Hawley (R., Mo.) and Representative Elise Stefanik (R., N.Y.) on Tuesday introduced a bicameral resolution to condemn the Chinese Communist Party for its initial handling of the coronavirus outbreak, and called for an international investigation to determine how the coverup hastened the emergence of a global pandemic.
“Since day one, the Chinese Communist Party intentionally lied to the world about the origin of this pandemic. The CCP was aware of the reality of the virus as early as December but ordered laboratories to destroy samples and forced doctors to keep silent,” Hawley, who first called for an investigation last week, said in a press release.
“There is no doubt that China’s unconscionable decision to orchestrate an elaborate coverup of the wide-ranging and deadly implications of coronavirus led to the death of thousands of people, including hundreds of Americans and climbing,” Stefanik added. “This Resolution calls for China to provide compensation for the harm, loss, and destruction their arrogance brought upon the rest of the world. Simply put China must, and will, be held accountable.”
That is not racist and that is not a racist reaction but to the above author and numerous leftists, it must be racist even if they can't articulate how it is racist. I suppose we better stop saying Spanish Flu also, because you know...racist! Why Adventist Today publishes this garbage I don't know. I think it is because they have such a one-sided view and they have no one to tell them to look at facts they simply assume that their leftist political bias is the facts. I checked their Facebook comments page and saw nothing pointing out their silly bias. But like me, if you object to their propaganda they block people from commenting. So not a big surprise that there is nothing there, as they don't like to offer other opinions.
Secretary of State Mike Pompeo told reporters that the other member nations of the G7 fully understood that China was launching a categorically false propaganda campaign claiming that the U.S. Military was responsible for bringing the coronavirus to China.
“We’ve wanted to work with the Chinese Communist Party throughout this crisis – this crisis that began in Wuhan, China,” Pompeo said. “We tried – you’ll remember – from the opening days to get our scientists, our experts on the ground there so that we could begin to assist in the global response to what began there in China, but we weren’t able to do that. The Chinese Communist Party wouldn’t permit that to happen.”
“You’ll recall, too, at the beginning of this, when it was clear that this was an issue, China knew about it, they were the first country to know about the risk to the world from this virus, and they repeatedly delayed sharing that information with the globe,” Pompeo continued, later adding, “There was a lot of discussion today amongst the G7 about the intentional disinformation campaign that China has been and continues to be engaged in. You see it. You see it in the social media. You see it in remarks from senior people inside the Chinese Communist Party talking about whether this was a U.S. – U.S. brought to China. I mean, this is crazy talk. And every member of the G7 today saw that – this disinformation campaign. China now making small sales of product around the world and claiming that they are now the white hat in what has taken place here.”
One more article which is filled with links and very helpful to see just why China was at fault in all this despite the above author's ignorance at the gall of someone at Fox News for thinking China owed us an apology.
