We are being told that white people
are racist, inherently so. And that there is nothing they can do about
it. We are also being told that black people can’t be racist, period. Think
about this. We are being told that one group of people is racist-- and another
isn’t-- due entirely to the color of their skin! What could possibly be
more racist than that?!
This would be an amusing Babylon Bee
spoof… yet it is real and happening all around us every day. But, sadly, there
is more. Ever so much more. People who wish to peacefully attend one party’s
political rally are called selfish monsters, those who loot stores and burn
down buildings are deemed heroic. Conservatives have been chased off nearly
every campus in the country for years. Outright institutional bias against them
is now being sanctioned and codified. Even more chillingly, Big Tech companies
are ever more eager to harass, shadow ban, demonetize and silence those with
traditional beliefs. Those in the mainstream media air only what fits their
remarkably narrow agenda and edit audio and video in a deliberate attempt to
make conservatives look bad. They even outright lie when they feel it is “necessary.”
Their whitewashing and laundering of any misdeeds by those who support their
agenda now borders on the breathtaking. They no longer bother even to hide
their contempt for those who differ with their cultural and political world
view.
Christians are routinely mocked,
their religious icons besmirched and now even vandalized by those on the left.
Recently, statues of nearly every famous American have been defaced,
vandalized, moved or destroyed. First the Marxist mob came for the low-hanging
fruit, Confederate generals and those clearly associated with slavery. But
blood lust is not easily sated, and soon they assaulted monuments to those with
tenuous connections to slavery, racism or the Confederacy. And then they went
after those who had no connections to them, those who had, in fact, literally fought
against them. Statues of Abraham Lincoln, the man who was assassinated as a
result of his unshakable opposition to the Confederacy’s actions and his
Proclamation freeing the slaves, were targeted. And of Ulysses S. Grant, the
one general who Lincoln could trust to successfully prosecute the war against those
who embraced slavery. A man who not only won that war, but aggressively pursued
the Ku Klux Klan. A man who freed the one slave he was given and who was
eulogized by Frederick Douglas. A man who, as president, worked tirelessly to
protect the civil rights of newly freed black slaves.
This orgy of destruction even migrated
to Europe and swallowed up a statue of Winston Churchill, who stood alone in
the West against Hitler’s Third Reich for many agonizing months. It has
consumed a statue of Father Junipero Serra, a Roman Catholic priest and friar
of the Franciscan Order who founded the first nine of 21 Spanish missions in
California. (Fr. Serra was canonized in 2015 by Pope Francis I, the first saint
to be canonized in the United States.) The mob is ruthless, insatiable. But it
is anything but invincible. All it takes to stop it is the will to do so.
Sadly, that will is nowhere to be found. At least as of yet. So, it marches on,
defacing and destroying everything in its path, as the left always does. St.
John’s Episcopal Church, the World War II Memorial and the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier of the American Revolution.
To sum up, America and its history are being marginalized.
All those who paid the ultimate sacrifice, who gave the last full measure of
devotion have been marginalized. The silent majority is being marginalized…and
had better find its voice soon, or it will never be able to do so.
“Marginalized?” Marginalized?! Americans
with traditional values-- particularly straight, white, conservative Christian
males-- are being subjected to marginalization on steroids. They are now the least
favored and protected group in the nation and are routinely denied a forum, silenced,
shunned, mocked…marginalized.
Cancelled.
