Why,
why, why?

Former
NFL player Dion Sanders says that as head coach at predominantly Black Jackson
(MS) State University, he coaches athletes 75% of whom have no father in their
homes or their lives. Former Harvard law
professor Alan Dershowitz says America’s legal system is on life support. Goons
who attacked the U.S. Capitol without one whit of organization or clear purpose
are being called insurrectionists, an intentionally dumbed down use of a
serious, history-laden word. Why?
The
Proud Boys are given center stage and taken to task by the liberal media while
Black Lives Matter and Antifa are heralded and unpunished for their destructive
2020 “summer of love.” Parents who address their local school boards are
tainted by U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland who also refuses to enforce
the law that forbids protesting in front of the homes of U.S. Supreme Court
members. Why?
My
Pillow – meaning Mike Lindell and his free speech – has been canceled by
Walmart and boo-coodles of other stores. Professional sports have been
politicized beyond measure. Liberals are totally unhinged because of the
overturning of Roe v. Wade, seeking any loophole they can find to subvert the
law of the land while lambasting Trump supporters for not accepting the results
of an election. Such glaring hypocrisy. The January 6 Committee pretends to be
seeking the truth about President Trump’s role in the January 6 caper but
allows no cross-examination of witnesses. Why?
Liberals
are enjoying success in sexualizing early childhood education. Drag queens in
elementary schools have become common place entertainment for major city school
systems. Disney, who has always made their mermaids and other females sexy and
blink-those-eyes suggestive, is now in full sexualization bloom. The World
Health Organization recently declared that “sex is not limited to male and
female.” Why?
Father
in Heaven, not the military, too. Oh
yes, google Joint Chief of Staff General Milley, or U.S. Military, or any one
of the military branches, particularly the Navy, and read about the military’s
efforts to acknowledge “our evolving understanding of gender in the
contemporary world,” as a Church of England bishop put it. Compare the
indoctrination you find to what you thought our military is actually for. Weep
as you let your thoughts run to Eisenhower, MacArthur, Bradley, Patton, or to
two of my personal, local heroes who have been heralded in this column,
Generals Akin and Nutter. But don’t weep too long. There’s a war to be fought,
a war of ideas but a war still. Whoever wins gets our children and
grandchildren. Why?
And
oh yeah, Boris Johnson resigned as Prime Minister of Great Britain. Why?
“Cultural
evolution” is a misleading term. Every effect has a cause, socially as well as
biologically. Suffice it to say that Deion Sanders clearly pin-pointed the
cause of violence in America. The solution to guns and shootings is fathers,
not the disarming of the citizenry. Given Chicago and Japan’s strict gun laws
and shootings as well, why do some think disarming citizens will make us safer?
Alan Dershowitz’s claim has been supported by the obviously nervous lawyers who
appear before the January 6 Committee. We’re in bad shape when a
Congressional Committee can induce nervousness in lawyers. Democrats have gone
from Russia, Russia, Russia to Impeachement, Impeachment to “We gotta keep this
‘former guy’ from running for President in 2024.” Why?
If
parents are to be chastised for speaking their piece to local boards of
education, we can be sure that war is being made on our kids. The president of
the National Education Association recently screamed, “We are gay and we will
stay!” after Roe was overturned. Politics over learning. Why?
As
for the Prime Minister, he serves as a warning to scaredy-cat Republicans who
back away from what and whom they once said they supported. Johnson didn’t get
by with it and neither will Republicans. Restless British Tories finished
Johnson off. Ordinary Republicans are restless too. Why?
Why, oh why are ordinary folks facing such a
culture? Because schools and colleges have always tended liberal to radical and
we ourselves have let it happen. Commendably, we’ve been working hard at our
jobs, but foolishly we’ve not been paying enough attention to politics,
activism, and voting. This is changing, however. If November proves otherwise,
our grandchildren will live in a moral/philosophical wasteland where objective
truth is laughed at and where “my truth” and “your truth” are the guiding
principles. If we can call them that.
