COMMON SENSE: When four Minneapolis police officers unlawfully used excessive force against George Floyd, leading to his death, America was outraged. Everybody, without exception, was offended. This included the lead officer’s wife who had the good sense to file for divorce against him just two days later. My guess is she was quite familiar with her husband’s bullying and physical intimidation.
Because of the horrific circumstances leading to Floyd’s death, the United States was poised to embrace a teachable moment, but this moment has now been lost. Instead, with the hearts of millions being hardened because of the rioting, looting and destruction to our major cities, the deeply-held biases of nearly every American have been reinforced.
For Conservatives, what we see is a vicious attack on law and order by the dregs of society—young men and women who embrace anarchy. They hate the nation we love and are doing their best to destroy it. We have no sympathy for them or for the feckless mayors and governors who allow them to riot and loot with impunity. For us, to suppress the violence that continues to threaten our nation, we will support whatever use of force is necessary. We want to squelch the unruly. To us, they deserve what they get.
We are also put off by the cowardice of the political leaders who coddle the riffraff who are destroying innocent people’s property. Mostly Democrats, these leaders talk out of both sides of their mouths. Refusing to offend the rioters, they order the police to be gentle with them, while simultaneously holding press conferences where they do their best to look and sound tough, which is laughably absurd.
On the other side are the perpetrators of this wave of violence. Seizing the opportunity afforded by the death of Floyd, these disseminators of hate have unleashed a torrent of violence against average Americans, embittering millions of innocent people in the process. To the Leftists, however, none of us are innocent. We are all part of a racist system created by our forefathers—a system that needs to be destroyed, the quicker the better.
Bolstered by fellow travelers in the hierarchy of the Democratic Party, and inappropriately blessed by Politically Apostate Christians, the Radical Left is doing their best to bite the hand that feeds it. People like these have always been part of the American political landscape, but they are more plentiful now than they have ever been, thanks to the Presidency of Barack Obama.
To say the times are tense is a monumental understatement, but what does the future portend? The answer is yet to be determined. With the economy in freefall, the dangers of COVID-19 still being exploited and chaos in the streets, the Democrats and the anarchists are licking their chops at the prospect of replacing President Trump with a malleable candidate who is somewhere on the dementia spectrum, but will their concerted effort work? We shall see, but I believe the forces of righteousness will prevail and Trump will be reelected. Meanwhile, let’s crush this rebellion.
