In
such a time as this…it is sometimes difficult to see a future greater than our
past.
To
wit: a newly published paper, written by two “scholars” and published by the
University of Chicago Press, argues that girls under 18 should be forced
to abort their babies even if they and their family want to carry them to
term. The scholarly authors argue that having an abortion would be in these
girl’s “best interest,” no matter what-- and that doctors should abort the
baby even if that requires the “sedation
or physical restraint” of the mother.
There are no words.
Fraud
is virtually everywhere. Endemic. Systemic. The examples are legion. It seems
the vast majority of “do-gooders”
are anything but, in it only for themselves, and that those that take to the
streets to denounce capitalism are particularly lustful for lucre.
Yet,
governments and world bodies alike spend other people’s money on self-evidently
destructive ideas, policies, programs, and entities. Ideas, policies, programs,
and entities that are self-evidently destructive to them. So the U.N. spends
billions of dollars effectively funding Islamic terrorists who kidnap
its employees. And the U.S., directly or indirectly, is still funding
the Taliban, hard as that is to believe.
Air
Canada’s CEO was forced
to resign after issuing a heartfelt statement of condolence to the
families of victims of the tarmac collision between an Air Canada passenger jet
and a LaGuardia Airport fire truck. Why? Because he made the statement almost
entirely in English, even though a minority of Canadians speak French. This
might seem to be a minor issue, but it isn’t, as it is sadly indicative of the rampant,
visceral, threatening mindset of the DEI-addled woke un-intelligentsia.
So-called
“progressives” take to the streets to violently lament the death of George
Floyd, a drug-addicted life-long criminal, but demand that a mural of a senselessly
and heinously slain petite female immigrant from Ukraine be
taken down. Make it make sense.
Indeed, a significant percentage of
our populace takes to the streets to cheer on illegal aliens who have committed
pedophilia, rape, and murder, while harassing those who would remove these
thugs from their neighborhoods. Remarkable.
Today’s teachers are sexually
harassing students at an unprecedented rate, when they aren’t encouraging them
to “change genders,” or to leave class and protest Trump and ICE.
The
NBA’s Chicago Bulls recently cut Jaden Ivey, ostensibly for "conduct
detrimental to the team." What was that egregious
conduct? Did he hit a teammate or sleep with one’s wife? Was he caught selling
drugs? Gambling and throwing games? No. He called the NBA’s ubiquitous celebration
of Pride Month "unrighteousness,” and refused to recant his Christian
beliefs. (The NBA, like most sports leagues, does allow its players to
state their deeply held Muslim beliefs without fear of reprisal. In fact,
criticism of those players and beliefs will instantaneously lead to dire
accusations of “Islamophobia.”)
In
a similar vein, Canadian MPs recently passed a bill that will allow the
criminalization of religious expression and belief when quoting parts of the
Bible about homosexuality and gender. “Male and female He created them?” Scratch
that unless you want a visit from the Mounties.
We abort our kids, engage in medically-assisting
our seniors and the unwell in dying, and encourage our offspring to seek
procedures that will render them sterile. We then import vast armies of people
who have no intention of assimilating-- who, in fact, try to assimilate us
to their barbarity and Sharia law. And there is shockingly little pushback to any
of this. It is as if we are intent on writing ourselves out of our own story.
We have “Queers for Palestine.” The handmaids want to be Muslim. The rich call
for socialism/Marxism/communism. It is increasingly hard to believe we are
living in such a time as this.
In
such a time as this…we
need a moral and spiritual rebirth more than ever. During this holiest of weeks
(dare I say that?) let’s vow to do what we can to make this so.
We should beg for forgiveness and fall
to our knees.
And thank the Lord for the opportunities
we have had and the unalienable rights granted us by our Creator.
He is risen.
Can we?
