Some news stories I encountered, all
on Feb. 19th.
Cardinal Blase Cupich, the archbishop
of Chicago, recently served as the chief celebrant for an outdoor Ash Wednesday
Mass at the Our Lady of Mount Carmel parish. This was followed by a procession
through the Windy City’s Melrose Park neighborhood, all in solidarity with illegal immigrants. In a related matter, a federal judge
ordered that Chicago priests will be allowed to enter the Broadview
Processing Center for Ash Wednesday. This prompted Father Dan Hartnett, a member
of something called the Coalition for Spiritual and Public Leadership’s Clergy
Council, to state: “As Lent begins, we pray this ruling restores religious
freedom for those detained and moves our country closer to justice in honoring
the dignity of all migrants.” What about the dignity of all those robbed,
raped, and killed by illegal aliens?
Meanwhile, it turns out that a
missionary bishop recently made “Venerable”-- and green-lighted for the beatification
process by Pope Leo XIV—once allowed indigenous youth to touch his genitals to arousal while naked and sharing a
bed with him. What a Saint!
Catholics for Crime?
Reduxx’s website recently posted an
article containing about self-identifying “radical queer activist” Ally
Kotetsu, who purports to be a “non-binary transgender woman who is transrace
Japanese.” You don’t say? Moreover, Ally, who is a biological man, has been busy
promoting his website “Beyond the Plus” on social media-- as well as in
person at Seattle’s Cal Anderson Park. To what end, you ask? Kotetsu is pushing
for the normalization of “beings who are romantically or sexually attracted to
beings who are below the age of 18.” Otherwise known as pedophiles, or “beings who have a mental
illness.” It’s not enough to be queer anymore, folks…you’ve gotta be “radqueer!”
The radqueerer the better!
Meanwhile, Iowa Democratic state Sen.
Sarah Trone Garriott is rebuking other Hawkeye State elected officials for
being too white, too male, and too Christian. Which is odd since Garriott, now
running for Congress in Iowa’s 3rd District, is an ordained minister in
the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America. I can’t say I’ve ever heard of Muslims
chastising other Muslims for being too Muslim. Why do Christians have a death
wish?
The Daily Caller reports that professors
at the University of Houston are complaining about a new rule requiring them to
self-check their coursework to ensure they are not indoctrinating students. They are furious! In high
dudgeon! How dare anyone try to take away their Constitutional right to blatantly
indoctrinate and brainwash kids whose parents are ponying up hundreds of
thousands of dollars for their “education!”
Infamous Attorney General Letitia
James and Education Commissioner Betty A. Rosa recently issued a letter titled “Joint
Guidance on Harassment and Bullying at School Board Meetings.” The letter not
only threatened members by stating that “misgendering” students or publicly
supporting sex-segregated sports and facilities could lead to their removal
from office, but also warned them against allowing any questioning of transgender policies by members of
the public. Shut those concerned citizens up—or else! First Amendment, my arse!
California Democrats are apparently forwarding
a bill that would ban the pesky public from obtaining information about their
malfeasance. Get elected. Do bad things. Pass bills allowing you to hide your bad behavior from your constituents. Repeat. Good
gig, if you can get it!
Other Democrats took to the platform
formerly known as Twitter to celebrate Ramadan and the Lunar New Year. @TheDemocrats
went out of their way to say, “We wish a reflective and peaceful Ramadan to all
who observe. Ramadan Mubarak!” And, “Happy Lunar New Year! Wishing all who
celebrate and their loved ones good health, fortune, and prosperity as we
welcome the Year of the Horse.”
Conversely, they were unable or
unwilling to say one word about Ash Wednesday. Which spoke volumes.
Okay, time to finally address the
title of this post.
An opinion piece in the Tribune News
Service, by John M. Crisp, compared and contrasted the two Super Bowl halftime
shows, one during which Bad Bunny incessantly grabbed his crotch and sang about
explicit sex—even if in Spanish—and one in which performers sang of hunting and
fishing, beer and the Bible.
Crisp deduced that the alternative
Real America “is extremely countryfied,” what with folks getting up “when the
rooster crows.” He mockingly noted song lyrics such as “I just wanna drive my
truck, catch my fish, drink my beer…cut my grass, feed my dogs, wear my boots.”
He added, “But the Real America
described in the alternative halftime show is largely mythological. Bad Bunny’s
America, on the other hand, is really real.”
And finally, “Besides, even if Kid
Rock really does get up every morning when the rooster crows and read his Bible
every day, we still face this question: Why is his America any more real than
Bad Bunny’s?”
The tragedy is that, due to public
school’s indoctrination of our youth, mainstream media’s relentless mendacity,
bad parenting, and rapid demographic change… it isn’t.
If Bad Bunny isn’t our present, it
seems inevitable that he is our future. All of the above stories are, in a
sense, of one piece. Sanctioned immorality, disdain for Christianity,
politicians’ corruption and grift, indoctrination by the state, hyper-tolerance
of everything but conservatism… and the attendant rise of Islam.
The founders knew this republic was
only suited for a moral and informed people who knew history and could depend
on a free and unbiased press.
We are no longer moral. No longer
informed. We no longer know our own history, let alone that of classic
Christendom. And we certainly don’t have a free and unbiased mainstream media.
I fear for my country. And for my children.
