NOTE: Hey, folks. I know I haven't written much. Life has been hectic and I have spent most of my days either dealing with injury or sickness or both. I would truly appreciate any prayers that any of you may offer on my behalf. It is in my very best intentions to keep up-to-date on this blog, but it is very hard, some days. Keeping up with world events is stressful, and I am having to exercise caution so as not to aggravate my condition. I hope you enjoy this post. My prayers are with the victims of last night's bombing and their families. May their deaths not be in vain and my God heal the bodies of the hurt and the hearts of the broken. Amen.
So, there has been another horrific terrorist bombing in a European city. Parents bought tickets and took their children to see a popular stage performer, only to become victims of a homicide bomber as they attempted to exit the arena. European leaders and other leftist-progressives responded in routine fashion, saying that they are shocked and appalled by such a senseless tragedy. Every time one of these bombings occurs, the same people ask the same question: why would someone do such a thing? What is truly sad is that leftist-progressives know the answer, yet they do nothing to even address the problem.
Despite mounds of evidence, and the repeated patterns of the same terroristic strategies and motivations over and over, the leftist-progressives refuse to acknowledge Islamic terrorism. They cannot understand the fact that Western society and culture have been under Islamic jihadist attack for decades, and it is unfortunate, I dare say, that part of the problem lies with another simple fact: that the leftist-progressives, themselves, are the ones most insulated from exposure to terroristic acts of aggression. They are not the ones who mingle at such things as pop music concerts and Christmas festivals with the common folk. They do not have to walk alone through dangerous neighborhoods at night, the same European neighborhoods that, just a few years ago, were comparatively safe. They do not attend Bastille Day festivities, and they do not frequent discos. And, since they are willfully ignorant of what is occurring in our Western world these days, they do not have to recognize that there is a very serious problem. Admitting that there is a problem would be to admit that their policies have failed. In their view, all they have to do is be goodhearted and kind and generous and implement policies that make them feel good about themselves. They simply believe that if they continue to allow in migrants and refugees from impoverished, war-torn, despotic Muslim hellholes, the migrants and refugees will be eternally grateful and positively add to the good of all mankind. Yet, we who have eyes can plainly see that such is not the case.
How ignorant and blind does one have to be not to see what is occurring in Europe? How does one not notice the changes in one's own country? How does one continue, day in and day out, to ignore the fact that innocent people are dying because some do-good leftist decided that no one can be turned away at a nation's border, despite having virtually no way to closely examine the foreigners and verify who they really are? Gee, that sounds awfully familiar, does it not?
Are we living in a world gone mad? Yes, we are. Leftist-progressives are unwilling to admit that they are wrong about Islamic extremists. They cannot admit that they are wrong in believing that people who despise Western culture will assimilate into it freely and willingly. We are at war with them! Why is it so hard to recognize that and admit it? Islamists hate Western society. They despise personal choice and they hate personal freedom, because such concepts contradict the notion of “submission” to a god who demands his pound of flesh from every human being. This is that to which they dedicate themselves and their children, a god who demands that his followers kill the innocent for him.
Remember this if nothing else: leftist-progressives want power above all else. With power, they can implement any insane policy that their demented minds can conceive. Anything that contradicts their humanistic and Utopian world-view cannot be possible; therefore, it cannot be recognized as real or reasonable. Their logic is skewed and their good intentions are misplaced; meanwhile, innocents continue to die and suffer. The only good news in all of this is that, at some point, it will come to an end. Either Western values will recover and win the day, or they will die, just as the victims of the leftist-progressives have.
