I don't know about anyone else, but even a newsie like me can hardly stand watching or reading the news lately. It's become patently obvious to me - we've lost our minds. We've abandoned any pretext at civilized behavior because we've abandoned traditional wisdom in favor of the latest philosophical flavor of the day, and that flavor is laced with the toxic compounds of leftism -hate, envy and greed.
A friend of mine recently had dinner with a middle aged couple where the wife couldn't keep from letting them know she hoped Trump would be killed or die. My friend and his wife are traditionalist conservatives, and I think this woman knew it.
Liberals are constantly whining and howling about compassion and inclusion when in reality everything they do or promote is filled with loathing of traditional values, including wanting to kill the President of the United States. And they're saying it openly without one bit of condemnation from anyone on the left, including the media who would have howled like werewolves at a full moon if even one person had even mildly intimated they wanted Obama to die, let alone kill him.
Snoop Dogg made a video shooting Trump dead, and Madonna threatened to blow up the White House. And Dogg's trash son says he's going to "pimp out" the First Lady. Can you imagine what would have happened if that was said about Obama's wife? Where's the outrage? Where are Obama and his wife in all of this? Where's Oprah? Where's Jesse Jackson? Where's the NAACP? I would think if they had an ounce of decency in them they would have stepped up and shot down this disgusting behavior.
Also, it's illegal to threaten the life of the President of the United States. Why hasn't someone been charged? Why hasn't there been so much moral outrage these lunatics are ostracized by civilized people? How deep is this contaminated thinking? More importantly - how deep is this contamination within government?
Recently we heard of a Secret Service agent who had her laptop stolen from a parked car. In that computer was the floor plans for the personal home of the President of the United States and his family in Trump Tower - now in unauthorized hands - thanks to the Secret Service.
We also now know the thief - having been caught on camera - knew exactly where to go, when to go and what he was looking for. So I think these questions have to be asked:
- Was this theft allowed?
- Was this theft planned?
- If this theft was planned, for what purpose?
- Was this theft was allowed and planned was it part of a conspiracy by a Secret Service agent, or possibly agents, and with whom?
The Secret Service agent in charge of the Denver office just couldn't help going on Facebook to tell the world how she would rather go to jail than take a bullet for the President. Well, I wouldn't be all that crazy about taking a bullet for anyone either.....but that's not my job.....it is hers, and it's a job she applied for.
I'm sure they must have asked if she would be willing to sacrifice herself for the President during the interview process, and she must have said yes or she wouldn't have been hired. Right? But no matter, everyone who applies for that job knows that's part and parcel of the package. For her to say what she's saying now is .....what? Treasonous? After all, why else would she post this online unless she wanted to encourage others to develop the same attitude - but not tell anyone - allowing the President to be killed. Does that sound like treason to anyone besides me? And she's still employed!
(Editor's Note: Here's an update on Agent Kerry O'Grady, and the strange behavior of her bosses. RK)
Then we have three intruders who entered the White House grounds and one made it to the White House. Does this give anyone pause wondering just how seriously these people take their oaths of office - or worse yet - just exactly where their loyalties reside?
It's bad enough when the federal judiciary ignores their oath to uphold the Constitution, but what happens if the Secret Service becomes a part of a Soros funded and Obama orchestrated Shadow Government?
Is this mere paranoia or just another conspiracy theory? Of course we all know there's no such thing as a conspiracy unless it's a vast right wing conspiracy, but none the less, let's explore this for a minute.
Most Presidents can't wait to leave Washington, but not Obama, who seems to think he's still the President, and is working to mobilize thousands of volunteers in a nationwide movement known as Organizing for Action (OFA), which adores anything that embraces Marxism.
'“Unbeknownst to most Americans, Barack Obama is the first ex-president in 228 years of U.S. history to structure and lead a political organization, a shadow government, for the explicit purpose of sabotaging his successor—duly elected President Donald Trump,” writes Scott S. Powell for American Thinker. Obama’s group, OFA, has been organizing with the Soros-linked Indivisible."'
And who exactly are these thousands of volunteers and what are they to do? First, Scott Foval, National Field Director for Americans United for Change is quoted as saying, “I’m saying we have mentally ill people, that we pay to do s–t, make no mistake”. It's their job to protest continually in order to gain political clout and undermine the real President. Protests which are being organized by members of the Workers World Party and Freedom Road Socialist Organization among others.
It's almost surreal when reality starts to look and sound like an Avenger science fiction movie with the heroes fighting Hydra - a secret, subversive shadow government with tentacles reaching into every government agency, exerting influence and operating the levers of power to overthrow the legitimate government. In this fiction movie it's easy to determine the moral imperative presented - they're the bad guys and they're committing treason and need to be defeated in order to save the nation and the world.
So can someone explain to me why this is different?
My friend Mike Shaw had trouble with the comment moderation system here - I'm not sure why - so if others have the same problem e-mail me at elkoz@juno.com. In the meanwhile I'm adding this in his name.
ReplyDeleteWhat you're observing is the culmination of more than 100 years of "progressive" politics, that really started with Teddy Roosevelt, and then went off to the races under Wilson--with only brief interruptions from Coolidge and Reagan.
The Left--and its peanut gallery in the media and academia--has had its way with things for this entire time.
Trump's rise, and the stoking of long-dormant populism has created desperation in the Left, to the point whereby the don't even hide their fascist tendencies anymore. In truth, though, Fascism was always the direction of the Left. What better reason for them to call Fascist/Nazi movements "Rightist"?
