Caesar To The U.S.: "Et tu, America"

 

California Gov. Gavin “Slick” Newsom recently signed AB 2017 into law. The bill was proposed by Congresswoman Aisha Wahab, an Afghan Muslim, and adds two Muslim holidays, Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha, to the state’s official calendar.

Section 3 of the bill reads:

“Public schools and educational institutions throughout this state may include exercises, funded through existing resources, exploring the history of Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha. The State Board of Education may adopt a model curriculum guide to be available for use by public schools for exercises related to Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha.”

So much for separation of church and state. I guess mosque and state are a match made in Paradise, however.

This does seem a tad odd, though, given that California banned travel to eight allegedly “anti-gay” states. Wonder what Ms. Wahab and the Imams think about that? (The erstwhile Golden State purportedly banned travel to Kentucky due in part to that state’s stance supporting the airing of “A Charlie Brown Christmas,” replete with Linus’ reading passages from the New Testament.)

But I’m sure California public schools study the Bible as part of their core curriculum, too. Right? Right?! I guess Indoctrinating students into Islam is okay, but celebrating Christmas is right out! I mean “Winter Holiday.”

In related news, a spate of recent City Council meetings have opened with “Hail Satan,” “Dear Dark Father,” and other appeals to Luciferian impulses. Including one in Ottumwa, Iowa. Ottumwa, Iowa? That’s Radar O’Reilly’s hometown! Grape knee-highs and “Hail Satan?!”   

Thanks to Democrats, nostalgia isn’t what it used to be, either. Leftists have perverted—and sometimes inverted—our history. They have smeared Columbus, savaged our Founders, torn down their statues. You see, leftists are inherently tyrants—and tyrants can’t tolerate anything or anyone greater than themselves. So, they denigrate great men of the past, they despise individual rights, and they dismiss the idea of an all-powerful God. They believe the bigger the government the better, however, if that government is one they are in, and therefore affords them more power.

           Because these people are so ignorant, so mean-spirited, so tyrannical-- and yet so conceited-- they believe any person or act that preceded their existence on this planet is unworthy of them. Which makes them existentially dangerous to the rest of us.

So here is a history lesson: it is said that, during the Dark Ages, the last few residents of a once great Rome were so awestruck by the magnificent ruins surrounding them that they believed the ancient city could only have been built by giants or gods. That is how far—and how fast— even the world’s greatest civilization, one of the birthplaces of democracy and republican governance-- can fall. To the point that its remaining inhabitants could not rationally conceive of how it was built, all those years ago. That is the opposite of progress.   

Progressives destroy everything, in part because they are incapable of producing anything, and in part because they have been allowed to do so. The latter reason is on us.
