Tyranny of the Minority
One of the great injustices of our times is how a tiny minority of people can claim to be offended by something and take the rights away from millions. This culture-choking perversion is the fruit of one of the great deceptions of our times—political correctness. May this be the year when we reclaim our lost rights and restore the Constitution that enabled the United States to become the greatest nation in history.
No decent person should want to purposely offend others, but the political correctness perversion has gone to such an extreme that it is time to get offended at the offended. One of the great symbols of how perverse and cowardly our leaders have become in the face of political correctness is how church bells have been silenced over whole nations in Europe because Muslims claimed they were offensive, while their call to prayer is now heard almost everywhere at a volume that exceeds the law for db limits.
I'm personally fine with hearing the call to prayer, and I do respect those who are so devoted to their beliefs that they pray five times a day even if I disagree with them, but don't tell me the church bells are offensive and then do this. Where are our leaders?
I was watching Fox News one day when the anchor was interviewing someone about a stand they were taking. The anchor asked with seeming astonishment if they weren't afraid that they would offend someone, as if such a thing would be a horrible crime! It is time that we got offended by the whole nation losing its basic constitutional rights because a handful of people claim to be offended by something. This has gone too far, and if we do not stand up now and determine that we will not let the tyranny of the minority take our rights, we will certainly lose them all very soon.
Fast and Furious
If anything reveals the unfathomable vacuum of leadership, this program has to be it. Never in our history, and maybe never in the history of the world, has there been a more bizarre, outrageous, and dumb program as the one our Justice Department oversaw called 「Fast and Furious.」 This was a program to sell weapons to drug cartels in Mexico! They supposedly did this to track the weapons but had no means for tracking them! They actually sold thousands of very dangerous weapons to the drug cartels that have the nation of Mexico on the verge of political collapse. These also have been crossing our borders and creating mayhem in our own country. This sounds too crazy to be true, but it is true.
If anything could be more insane it would be the fact that not a single person has been fired over such a stupid and dangerous program that has put so many of our citizens in danger and has already resulted in the death of at least one border agent. Think about it. Nearly a year after this madness was revealed, not a single person yet has been held responsible for it.
If the President was not personally involved in this, why in the world is he not over at the Justice Department with unrelenting resolve to find out how something this stupid happened on his watch? Why isn't everyone else in Washington who we elected and who are supposed to be there watching out for our interests, not all over the Justice Department determined to hold those responsible who let something this crazy happen? Instead, not only has no one even been fired, there has not even been anyone suspended for this outrage. This may be the most revealing example of how incompetent, or worse, our leadership has become.
No one yet has been able to explain why, how, or whoever proposed something this dumb. However, to have something of this magnitude implemented, it had to come from someone with very high authority. The persistent rumor coming from inside the Justice Department was that this program was intended to give the Administration a pretext for imposing stricter gun control on America. The only way this could have worked would have been for so many Americans to be victimized by these weapons that there would have been an outcry for greater gun control. This is a rumor, and until proven, it is too terrible to believe because those responsible would be guilty of both treason and murder.
Whatever the motive, we need answers to this. With a government like this, we don't need enemies. At best, we are being destroyed by incompetence. At worst, our most deadly enemies are some of our own leaders. Let's pray that it is just incompetence. Without clear, unquestionable proof, we should consider it this, but either way, the greatest threat to our Republic is coming from within.
I do hear continually from a multitude of sources that what is being done to America now is being done intentionally. I realize there is a growing mountain of evidence that seems to support this. Just reading what is in the Healthcare Bill is pretty convincing that we are being done in on purpose. Even so, right now the motives behind this are not nearly as important as saving the nation from the precipice we are hanging over. Once we get back to a place of safety and stability, we can then examine what got us to where we are.
