PTC at odds with CBS over Dexter series

I have a dilemma — a moral quandary — one which is now causing me great stress. I sat and watched several episodes of this TV series last year, while, in the back of my head, I felt really strange watching, even cheering the main character. So once all of the available episodes were watched, that was that — it was over. Dexter was a cable television series that ran uncensored and unwaivering in their main plot, which cheered a serial murderer.

This movie is psychologically hard-core.

PTC angry with CBS again (OneNewsNow.com) — The Parents Television Council is blasting CBS for airing a primetime show which features a serial killer as the hero.

On Sunday evening, CBS aired two episodes of Dexter back to back. The show follows the life of Dexter Morgan, played by Michael Hall. Dexter is a blood spatter analyst with the Miami Metro Police Department. However, he moonlights as a serial killer who murders only those who get away with grisly homicides.

I can certainly understand the reluctance of such a movie being aired across the most watched block of airtime in the free world.

But the danger is that this movie is really sick and twisted in a really unassuming way. The setting, for example, is modern-day Miami, Florida and is nothing visually out of the ordinary.

But the main character is a killer — of serial killers.

Dexter, as an individual, has always come across me as a bit of a likable wierd-o. He’s well-built, polite to the ladies, protects his step-sister and his girlfriend and even exhibits “hero” qualities to some extent. But those hero qualities are so completely stretched to the bizarre every time he turns to his dark side where he methodically tracks, captures and gruesomely does his prey in.

I feel at conflict with myself when I watch this show. And I don’t like it. Dexter causes me to root for the underhanded, the devious, the psychotic and ultimately, the evil dressed in boat shoes and a cotton shirt.

Lamm’s plan to destroy America

Thanks to Michelle Malkin for finding this and posting this on her blog. We need to spread this post, so I’m doing my part.

Michelle Malkin » “I have a plan to destroy America”
by Richard D. Lamm

I have a secret plan to destroy America. If you believe, as many do, that America is too smug, too white bread, too self-satisfied, too rich, let’s destroy America. It is not that hard to do. History shows that nations are more fragile than their citizens think. No nation in history has survived the ravages of time. Arnold Toynbee observed that all great civilizations rise and they all fall, and that “an autopsy of history would show that all great nations commit suicide.” Here is my plan:

I once heard it this way, “Every nation that has fallen, has fallen from within.” I heard this phrase back in the mid-80’s when I was just a teenager and it really struck a chord with me that we as a people have an opportunity — Free Will, if you will — to either live or die as a people and as a nation. We have a choice to make to stay on the course that our Founders laid out for us or to “CHANGE” for the sake of changing. It seems that rational minds have become scarce in an age of PhDs and MBAs. Our institutions of higher learning have failed to teach our next generation precisely “how” to think, instead teaching them “what’ to think. Scoundrels in key positions of influence have sold us all a “bill of goods”. Leftist professors who believe their position requires them to “profess” their own feelings and beliefs are teaching our children to love diversity, multi-culturalism, political correctness and ultimately the notion of one-world globalism.

Secularism: The True Enemy of Mankind

It is the hallmark trait of every future-oriented civilization to train up the next generation with the values learned from the last. There is an exhortation in the book of Proverbs that reads,

“Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.” –Proverbs 22:6

Have we come so far in this grand experiment called America that we have forgotten the ways of our grandfathers? Have we progressed so far from the ideals and conventions from the days of old? Why is the old path synonymous with obsolescence? Why must technology and modernity equal the eradication of all faith and morality? The self-serving laws of man have made us lazy and greedy. We must know — how could we expect anything less — that the darkness of our thoughts and deeds will inevitably condemn future generations to a dimly lit future, as well.
