The ongoing wildfires in Southern
California are mindful of Hell and are a clear and unavoidable illustration of
the rank incompetence of state and local leaders. The ever-expanding homeless
camps, the rising crime rates, the faltering power grid, and now the inability
to douse a fire that’s been raging for a week, make it all too obvious that the
erstwhile Golden State-- the Land of Milk and Honey—is morphing into a third
world entity. Sad. Heartbreaking, really.
At its core, government is supposed to
physically protect us and defend our freedoms. That is why governments were
instituted. Today, Democrat-run governments are stripping freedoms from those
whom they supposedly serve, and simultaneously exposing them to ever-growing
danger. Californians pay some of the highest taxes in the nation…and are
receiving next to nothing for them. Government of, by, and for the people has
been replaced with government of, by, and for the government. Like a giant,
ever-growing parasite, it is intent only on growing itself and reproducing
itself, to hell with anything and anybody else. As the founders declared, when
a government becomes abusive, “it is the Right of the People to alter or to
abolish it.” It is the duty of Californians to do so in this instance.
Empty reservoirs, dry fire hydrants, dead brush allowed to stay where it has
fallen, water diverted to the ocean, fire department budgets cut…all add up to
what might rightly be termed ‘Intolerable Acts.’
For his part, Donald Trump, on more
than one occasion, warned Californians and their government that the state was
in grave danger of suffering catastrophic fires due to insane environmental
policies. He made this clear again just three months ago on the Joe Rogan Podcast.
But California’s leaders didn’t
fireproof the state. They appear more concerned with Trump-proofing it…which is essentially the opposite.
This inexcusable negligence resulted in a staggering loss of life and property.
Face it, Californians, your leaders disdain you. Will a majority of you now
have the brains and ‘courage’ to start electing conservatives again? Doubtful.
Ideological Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder and Trump Derangement Syndrome are
powerful maladies.
Looking at the bigger picture, California
is, in a sense, the proverbial canary in the coal mine in terms of what happens
to a polity that becomes hyper-secular. Sadly, that could also be said about
much of America—and The West in general. For, as William Penn noted, “Those who
will not be governed by God will be governed by tyrants.”
And some of those tyrants will begin
to think they’re God. Even as they usher in the fires of Hades.
