Another one right across home plate from Crisis.
After demonstrating that the War on Christmas is alive and well--and not a fiction invented by O'Reilly to make money--the author quotes one of Yeats' more chilling verses:
We live on the threshold of an age that savors pushing Christianity and
its real heritage out of North American public life and culture. Yeats foresaw
it 98 years ago:
“The blood-dimmed tide is loosed and everywhere
the
ceremony of innocence is drowned
the best lack all conviction while the
worst are full of passionate intensity
and what rough beast … slouches
towards Bethlehem to be born?”
That rough beast has already been born and we are in danger of its appetite right here, right now.
