Riots are taking place across the
country in support of a person who was an inveterate obstructor of law
enforcement and a Trump hater. Just as massive and violent riots took place
after George Floyd, a career criminal, druggie, ne’er-do-well, and thug died in
police custody several years ago after attempting to use a counterfeit bill to
purchase a pack of cigarettes.
Yet there were no massive protests
after 23-year-old Iryna Zarutska, a Ukrainian refugee, was murdered by a black
man while riding in a light rail car in Charlotte, North Carolina. The
assailant, Decarlos Brown, had previously been arrested—and released—14 times.
Zarutska, who “loved America” according to her family, worked at a
senior citizen center and took care of animals in the neighborhood. Maybe if
she wasn’t white and had an extensive criminal record many would have protested
her death. In fact, I’m certain they would have. It’s too bad America didn’t
love her back.
But this has become a pattern in the
U.S. Law enforcement is reviled and attacked, while criminals are given “sanctuary,”
and are released with little or no time served if they are ever apprehended. And
then, if they accost and threaten law enforcement officers and are subsequently
killed, they are treated as beloved martyrs, heroic symbols of “resistance”
against the white patriarchy, capitalism, fascism, and xenophobia. But it gets
worse than that. Competence, personal discipline, success, manners, hygiene,
intelligence, logic, the traditional family and traditional mores-- and what
used to be considered simple human decency are all mocked, libeled, and
slandered as tools of “white supremacy.” Mostly by white people, especially the
truly awful “AWFULs.”
Enter pop star Zara Larsson,
a Swedish national, who recently used social media, in the form of an
Instagram post, to state: “I love immigrants. I love criminals. I love trans people. I love
abortions. I love queers. I love slutty women. I love contraception. I love
welfare. I love socialism. I fucking hate ICE”
Larsson is a multi-platinum
recording artist who boasts nearly 10 million Instagram followers. And she
loves everything that destroys individual lives in specific and society in
general. There isn’t a better definition of evil than that.
So, this sickness afflicts the West in
general, though that doesn't make it any easier to watch what has been
happening to the (formerly) United States.
So it happens that if a mountain lion
attacks a human, more “GoFundMe” money is pledged to the mountain lion than the
human, a Christian priest is punished for reciting Bible passages while Muslim
call to prayers ring out five times a day in several of our major cities, abortion
is called “women’s health care,” people are arrested for silently praying outside of “women’s health care”
centers, and Somali Learing Centers dot the landscape. You can’t
misgender kids, but you must be in favor of mutilating or removing their
genitalia.
All prior knowledge, wisdom, lived
experience, and traditions are wrong. Sloth, crime , entitlement, bitterness, anti-racism
racism, lies, and big government are good, everything that has heretofore been
considered good is bad. This is, in effect, what so many people across the West
are saying and why they are rioting. Choosing crime and chaos over decency--
and overtly choosing evil over good is sick. It is tragic. And it is an
immediate and existential danger to our republic and others.
Forget NATO. The fate of Western
nations—and indeed the world-- hinges on this battle between good and evil. A
battle that is currently being fought almost entirely by one side.
Pray for our deliverance, as only the
Lord GOD can save us if we refuse to save ourselves.
