Violence and Social Strife-E-J

10 May

While Democrat politicians continually call for social justice, they often don’t see the causes and effects. They demonized police by illustrating every Black person killed by a White police officer claiming racism and called for defunding the police. They ignore the fact that most were hardened criminals, often armed and dangerous, and in the process of committing a crime. While accidents do happen because officers have to make split second decisions with nothing but appearances to decide whether the criminal has a gun and intends to use it, they often are dealing with people who have weapons and a history of killing. Blaming the high rate of arrests of Blacks on racism ignores the fact that the majority of crime is committed by Blacks and more Blacks kill Blacks then Whites kill Blacks. Their rhetoric resulted in increased fear of and anger against police by Blacks. The result was extensive violence that destroyed more Black businesses and residences then White ones. It also created greater fear of Blacks by Whites. Relations between Blacks and Whites had been steadily improving, but have seriously deteriorated since President Obama took office. It also ignores the fact that we would have chaos without police. Every city defunding the police has seen crime skyrocket. They also call for reparations for Blacks who had ancestors who were slaves. It ignores the fact that Democrats protected slavery before the Civil War and suppressed Blacks after the Civil War. They also fought civil rights for Blacks in the 1960’s. They ignore the fact that it was mostly White people who fought for freeing the slaves before and during the Civil War and many White people aided Blacks in pressuring the government to pass Civil Rights laws in the 1960’s. Those who would pay the reparations had nothing to do with slavery and may even have fought against it while those who would receive it did not suffer from slavery and are hurt more by broken families caused by poorly designed welfare programs instituted by Democrats then by racism. If welfare was designed to help husbands get employment instead of driving them out of the house, Black people would not face the problems they face today.

 

 

Violence and Social Strife-6-D

03 Sep

While liberals continue to claim conservatives are trying to overthrow the government, they are the ones who continue to exhibit violence against those trying to preserve American values.  While the media splashes school violence all over the media, they are only isolated incidences, yet there is a systematic and deliberate attempt to threaten and intimidate conservatives which is not even mentioned by the media. There have been daily vandalisms and fire bombings of churches  and pro-life centers. Some involved shootings where several people were injured or killed. If those had been conservatives picketing in front of abortion centers, or even schools, it would be all over the media. In addition, conservative Supreme Court justices have been threatened and their families have been threatened for voting to overturn Roe vs Wade. The only mention of it is accusations that conservative groups are behind it. Why would conservative groups want to threaten justices that support the overturning of Roe vs Wade?  That doesn’t make sense to any thinking person. Of course, they don’t believe that people should think for themselves. They feel that most people are incapable of deciding what is best for themselves, so they feel they should make the decisions for you for your own good. That is why President Biden makes executive orders to support things opposed by most Americans, when he feels Congress can’t get things passed soon enough, just as President Obama did. That is also why liberals pass all kinds of laws that the majority of Americans oppose. If you oppose them, they feel justified in threatening and intimidating you into submitting, whether by using the courts and Congressional committees to harass you with frivolous lawsuits or terrorizing you through vandalism and violent attacks. It is time to elect people who will listen to the American people and govern accordingly and will appoint judges that will rule justly to punish the guilty and not the innocent.

 

Violence and Social strife-2-U

Businesses in Portland, Oregon continue to close or move out of the city due to the ongoing violence in the city since George Floyd was killed. Liberal politicians continue to sit on their hands and refuse to curb the violence. As long as criminals are allowed to walk freely without being held accountable, they will continue to see violence and the people and businesses will continue to move out of the city. Laws are established to keep order and prevent crime. It depends on catching and prosecuting criminals. Criminals will think twice before committing crimes if they know they will be caught and prosecuted. When no attempt is made to catch them or if they are not prosecuted once they are caught, they will be free to commit more crimes and will do so since they don’t have to worry about being punished for their crimes. In addition, children have to be taught to obey authority for if they do not learn it as children, it will be harder for them to learn when they are older. The liberal thought today that you should not punish a child when they disobey leads them to continue to disobey laws and those in authority when they are older. If they are allowed to get away with committing crimes and violence against others when they are young, they will continue it once they are grown. While liberals continue to blame guns for the violence, it isn’t the guns that are throwing bricks and stones, and they aren’t the ones breaking into stores and stealing the inventory. While they cry about all the violence, they have no one to blame but themselves. They are like spoiled children, they do what they want and then cry and lash out at others when they can’t get their way. When confronted, they refuse to accept responsibility and blame other people for their actions. It is time to hold them accountable for their actions.  For more on law and order and violence see my course on the Value of the Rule of Law on Udemy at https://www.udemy.com/course/christian-values-rule-of-law/?referralCode=71BC01DED5FF0937DCF0

Violence and Social strife-2-T

16 May

Liberal philosophy says there is no relationship between what you believe and your actions. As a result, they are totally confused by the sudden rash of hate crimes and mass shootings that have broken out recently. Again as usual they condemn the hate crimes and mass shootings and call for stricter gun control. They see no connection between their rioting to intimidate the Supreme Court justices and the renewed violence. What do calling for the right to kill an unborn baby that is inconvenient and will threaten your happiness have to do with a gunman who tries to kill people who he feels are a threat to his happiness? What does burning down a church because its members disagree with you (the church opposes abortion which liberals support) have to do with someone attacking someone else because they disagree with them?  What does calling for Blacks to attack Whites have to do with Whites responding by attacking Blacks? Once you open the door to violence and claim the right to attack others, other people are going to claim that right also. The only difference is who you claim that you have the right to attack. The violence wasn’t caused by a sudden flood of guns on the street, it was caused by the actions of those who feel they have the right to threaten and intimidate those who they disagree with and those who feel they have a right to eliminate people who they see as an inconvenience or a threat. The current leadership is leading the country in the wrong direction, and it is time to vote in new leadership that will restore the values that made America great.

 

Violence & Social Strife-2-S

12 May

The left has become very bold and no longer hides their intensions. When it became known that the Supreme Court intends to overturn Roe vs Wade, liberal protestors openly threatened the Supreme Court justices to get them to change their opinion. We are a nation of law and should not tolerate a minority trying to overturn Supreme Court decisions by threats and intimidation, yet President Biden has not condemned the rioters and Nancy Pelosi has openly encouraged them. They continue to hunt down and prosecute those present at the January 6 riot, whether they were actively involved or not, and President Biden has ordered the FBI to investigate parents who object to the policies of their schools as terrorists, while not arresting the protesters or investigating the organizations like Antifa who are behind the rioting in major American cities. President Obama used the FBI and the Dept of Justice to spy on Donald Trump using a document that they knew was fake to justify it, so they could prevent him from winning the election. When it failed, they created other fake charges to impeach him even though they never uncovered any evidence of wrongdoing. If we don’t elect representatives that respect law and order in the next election, there may not be any law and order by the following election.

 

Social Strife-2-N

01 Dec

Many increasingly feel that our democratic processes aren’t working, and we are being told that only a strong government can solve the problem. The American people must not allow themselves to think strong government will solve the problems it has created. The increasing actions of liberal judges and politicians to ignore the will of the people, the Constitution, the laws of the land, and the Supreme Court create a mounting frustration of the American people. That boiled over during the Obama administration and led to the election of Donald Trump. However, the liberal media was silent about his success in restoring the economy and the power to the American people. Their repeated attacks on President Trump and lies about him have given the American people the false impression that President Trump failed, further fueling their frustration. The recent demonstration in Washington is an indication of how widespread that frustration is. However, their innocent intentions pointed out the greater danger. That is that liberals will use the frustration to seize control of the government. They continue to claim that the danger posed by conservative demonstrations requires that the rights of the American people be suspended, however the real problem is that it was the suspension of the rights of the American people that fueled the demonstrations and further suspending those rights will not solve it. It was the heavy-handed actions of the king that led to the Boston Tea Party, and it was the heavy-handed response to it that led to the Revolutionary War. Maybe we should pay attention to history.

 

Social Strife-2-M

15 Jul

I find it interesting how difficult it is for some people to connect the dots. Liberals are repealing laws designed to protect homeowners who are protecting their family and their homes, they want to take away your guns so you can’t protect yourself, and they want to defund the police so there will be less police to defend you. This hurts minorities the most since the cities pull police out of minority areas to avoid conflict. Liberal politicians tell the police not to interfere with rioters and mobilize the media against police pressuring the courts to convict police to avoid further rioting whether the officers are guilty or not. As a result, police are afraid to enter situations that may be used against them and avoid potentially dangerous situations. That encourages rioters to attack police since they know the police either aren’t allowed to fight back, or are afraid to. In addition, liberal courts let criminals off with very little punishment, so it becomes easier to commit crimes without fear of being caught or being punished. That makes you an easy target for crime and assault. In fact, crime and murders have skyrocketed in areas controlled by liberals because criminals know that they are less likely to be caught or prosecuted. Yet the voters continue to vote these people back into office. Is it really that hard to see what direction things are headed? As another round of elections comes up, maybe it is time for a change.

 
 

Social Strife-2-L

08 Jul

While liberals continue to hunt down and prosecute those who were involved in the Capital protest to the fullest extent possible (they have already prosecuted several hundred), in order to discourage even peaceful protests, they continue to encourage violence across the country. They call on their supporters to attack those who display anything that supports Donald Trump, and call on them to burn and loot if police officers aren’t convicted, regardless of whether they are guilty, which encourages rioting. When liberal politicians order police to stand by and not arrest rioters, that encourages rioting. When liberals like Nancy Pelosi, George Soros, and others pay bail for rioters and liberal judges let them off with no real punishment, that encourages rioting. They are using the law to intimidate their opponents, while withholding justice for those who support them to destroy confidence in elected government. When politicians use the legal system to punish their opponents, while protecting their supporters, they are violating their oath of office to uphold the laws of the country and protect the people of the United States who elected them and need to be voted out of office. We need to return to a legal system that treats everyone equally, not on the basis of their political affiliation.

 

Social Strife-1-M

12 Jun

Many people today are trying to rewrite history. When we do that, we have a tendency to see  it from our perspective. You have to view history as it was, not as you think it should be. If you see only the bad in history, that is how you will view today. In early America, we had slavery. After the Civil War slavery was abolished but racism remained.  Some see racism today and think we haven’t accomplished anything. That leads to despair.  Others see only good today and view history the same way. They ignore the fact that slavery existed. As a result, racism and slavery that still exist can grow like a cancer, while no one notices, until they break out in the open again. However, if you look at history as it was, the good and the bad, you can see life today the same way. You will realize that although some racism and slavery still exist, they are not like they used to be.  That leads to hope. We wiped out some in the past, we might be able to wipe out the rest the same way.  It is like Polio. In the 1940’s Polio was world-wide, over a half million cases in the U.S. alone.  Recently, eight cases broke out in the U.S. We can bury ourselves in despair because we feel that we can never wipe out Polio.  We can also ignore it because we don’t think eight cases poses a threat and not get vaccinated. If we do, we will see the number of cases grow and become widespread again. However, we should recognize that eight cases is not a half million. We almost wiped it out the first time through vaccination, maybe we can finish what we started the same way.
