Pray for Courage

This morning after making coffee, making my morning supplication to God, and reading the Bible, I opened up the American Thinker to find J. Robert Smith's article entitled Tucker Carlson is Right: It's About Evil. Finally, someone is saying what I, and, by the comments below the article, a lot of others have been saying. But we are saying this with tiny voices. We need someone with a bullhorn to shout it loudly: "What is happening is EVIL. I have criticized Tucker Carlson for often coming up to the line, but then not saying what is clearly right in front of everybody's faces. Apparently, that is because the powers that be at Fox News would not allow it. But now the American Thinker allows Smith to write about what is, in fact, evil.

Smith talks about these things as Satanic. And clearly evil has many names, whether it is Satan, or Lucifer, or Ba'al, or Asteroth (Ishtar) or Moloch or indeed any of the other names by which evil is called. But we must recognize that mutilating our children, exposing them to pornography, claiming that boys can be girls and vice versa, is evil. Of course, abortion is pure evil. Claiming to be able to control the climate is both evil and incredible arrogant. The Conservatives and the Left no longer have the same policy goals, but differences on how to achieve them. The Left has embraced the dark side, and more than anything wishes to annihilate the Right.

Prior to being fired by Fox News, Tucker Carlson spoke to a Heritage Foundation audience. Carlson’s remarks were seminal. He identified the clash between traditional America and the Left as rising to an entirely new and ominous level.

We’ve moved beyond mere politics and policy differences, Carlson claimed. The conflict is with a Left that has increasingly embraced evil. That’s hard to accept. Most Americans don’t want to regard other Americans as evil. But the evidence is abundant and growing.

Indeed, sexually mutilating children to “change their gender” is well beyond politics. It’s deranged, for starters, and abusive and demeaning of a child’s personhood. As Carlson pointed out, proclaiming killing babies in the womb a “positive good” is morally grotesque. Sexually indoctrinating children -- from kindergarten forward -- is a lurid act of mental and emotional molestation.

Razing the working and middle classes by choking off conventional energy production; attacking law and order; imposing reverse racist policies as retributions against nonblacks for the false charge of ongoing “systemic racism;” forcing woke in schools and businesses; dictating where citizens should live; even dictating what cars -- if any -- Americans drive; and what constitutes diets make the argument all the more persuasive that the Left is a cult with no stop built in.

There’s a cold war underway that’s unlimited in scope, initiated by a pernicious, destructive leftist cult, a war whereby society is to be consumed, spit out, and remade. Failure isn’t an option. Fanatics aren’t interested in splitting differences. They want nothing to do with peaceful coexistence. There’s no “national divorce” in the offing. They’re predatory, sanctimonious, and very willing to blow up everything rather than concede. They’re true believers, whose souls are entirely consumed.

Gentle readers will want to read the entire article, and offer a prayer as Carlson suggests:

That prayer needs to be a call for strength, resolve, and acceptance of realities, and the courage to fight to defeat the malicious forces loose among us. Our rights, our freedom, our very lives are at stake.
