No, we do not ALL need to do better

Until one of them murdered Charlie Kirk, it was entertaining to watch the freak outs of the fussy toddlers who’ve infested the American Left.

We laughed when they wailed at the countdown of Trump’s first inauguration and when Van Jones called that election “Whitelash,” and when AOC went off like a used car lot inflatable having a seizure on the floor of House of Representatives. But now that they’ve upped their game to murder and assassination, it’s time to see them for what they are and to act accordingly.

We’ve had a belly full of hearing all these melba toast apologists and middle-of-the roaders decry all the “division” in the country right now. No, we do not ALL need to do better.

Damn straight there’s division; some of us are right and some of us are very, very wrong. The difference is that we used to be able to call each other out for a good old-fashioned argument without being killed for it. There’s evil and violence everywhere, but there’s more of it on the American Left.

While Charlie Kirk took the debate to America face to face on college campuses and offered his opponents a microphone to respond, Congresswoman Maxine Waters was instructing her ilk to raise mobs and assail conservatives at restaurants and gas stations “and tell them they’re not welcome anymore, anywhere.” While Donald Trump used a graph to illustrate his argument at a campaign rally in Pennsylvania, a Leftist psycho came millimeters from murdering him.  Another kook tried to kill him in Florida, and upon his guilty verdict in court this week proved himself as competent at suicide by ink pen as he was at assassination. Nut job Leftists literally assaulted Tesla owners, burned their cars and the dealerships that sell them because they resented Elon Musk and his wiz kids checking America’s books.

There should be no more hesitation in calling these people out for what they are. They’re bereft of decency and dignity. They’ve removed themselves so far from the norms of society which guide basic respect and tolerance in the culture that they feel no shame whatsoever in making some infantile rant or defending or cheering the murder of a fellow American. Their famished craving for attention and “likes” drives them to post it on social media where they beg for peer approval from the similarly stained.

There was a time when people were embarrassed if they did something embarrassing. But that was when everyone basically agreed on what was right and what was wrong.

How many cities were burned the past two weeks after Kirk was killed? What would have happened if Kirk had lived and Al Sharpton had taken a bullet on September 10? Fentanyl and meth-festered felon George Floyd died because he was too stupid and too stoned to get in the back of a patrol car, which might very well have ended up saving his life. They canonized him and burned half the big cities in the country in protest of his death, and railroaded Derek Chauvin into prison.

What a contrast. Charlie Kirk’s mourners gathered in stadiums, parks, at county courthouses across the country. Nobody burned anybody else’s property, nobody shot anybody because somebody “disrespected” somebody. They prayed and cried and pledged to try to live better Christian lives and to continue Kirk’s work to make America a place good people can be proud of again. His widow summed the spiritual strength from the debris of her shattered world to forgive his murderer. That’s right – she forgave the man who murdered the father of her children.

In the old days of rabid right wingers who burned abortion clinics, harassed pregnant teenagers and killed abortionists, their own bile eventually disenchanted enough Republicans that they fled the party to wander for decades as confused “moderates” with shifting moral compasses, seeking only to be on the winning side of every debate. It cost Republicans mightily and resulted in a reset of conservative policy and approach.

Kirk’s murder should bring a similar reset to the American Left, but its history to date foretells that as unlikely. The Left’s conscience is repugnant; we’ll know shortly if it’s irredeemable as well.

In the meantime we recognize evil for what it is and we recognize that it is predominantly now the tool of the American Left. We recognize this new proof that where there’s smoke there’s fire, symbolized by the Aqua Velva hair, the clothes pins through the eyebrows, the skanky tatoos, the attacks on ICE agents and on law and order in general.

            Be assured and be warned, we see you now.
