If you’re a Conservative you are not surprised the Left-Wing
Dems are taking political advantage to control the guns acquired and owned
legally by Americans. If you are like me these Dem calls for massive gun
control is leaving a bad taste in your mouth, BUT after the rapid sequence of
mass killings you are also hesitant to take a stand for your Second Amendment Rights. A
Second Amendment by the way designed for Americans to defend themselves from an
oppressive government if the Constitutional government ever became
oppressively unwieldy.
With that in mind, Justin Smith handles pretty well how two
extremes in America are taking innocent lives and frankly how the Dems ignore
their own Leftist extremes to blame all Conservative Americans by putting the
face of President Trump on Right-Wing extremists. Which is a bit duplicitous by
the Dem-Left because if check some of the source links I provide, you will
discover these mass killers were influenced more by Left-Wing thinking than
Right-Wing thinking.
On a personal note: I have never owned a gun. The last time
I shot a gun was target practice with friends at around age 14. Currently I’m
62. I’ve come close to gun ownership largely due to (shh, don’t tell my wife) crazy in-laws. At age 62 I’ve been
considering gun ownership again. Why? American politics is so divided I sense
clashing civil strife will be a prelude to some form of a civil war that in the
21st century will likely be vicious.

An Insane Chain of
Events:
Murders Based On Ideology
By Justin O. Smith

Americans are witnessing an advent of a time, when murders
based on ideology will become ever increasingly more prevalent, and, although
it is a righteous matter to kill one's enemies, in the defense of freedom and
liberty, our American ideology based on Judeo-Christian and Western principles,
the Bill of Rights and our God Given Rights and our Republic, in the face of violence
intending to suppress those treasures, absolutely nothing can justify killing
another human being simply because of their race. And as I hear the Democrats
rail against "white nationalism", I am left wondering where all their moral outrage was hiding when a
black nationalist shot and murdered six Dallas police officers in 2016.
Murder is a terrible and reprehensible act, and racially motivated murder is
simply pure evil. [Bold text is Editor’s]
The only real justification to ever killing another human is
in the defense of one's family, a weaker community member under a violent
attack, and one's self, and some would say one's property, although the
situation would dictate my action in such a case; I can leave it to law
enforcement to retrieve my property, but I can never see a loved one come back
from death, unless God intervened on my behalf.
In an insane chain of events, running from July 28th to
August 4th 2019, America has recently had to bury Her dead from senseless
murders in Gilroy, California; El Paso, Texas and Dayton, Ohio; a total of 31
dead and 64 wounded. Their murderers were 19, 21 and 24 years old,
respectively, and the last two mass murders occurred within fifteen hours of
one another.
Shortly after the Dayton Shooting, Mick Mulvaney, Director
of the Office of Management and Budget, told ABC's Jonathan Karl:
"This was a sick person. ... No politician is to blame for that. The
person who was responsible here are the people who pulled the trigger. We need
to figure out how to kind of create less of those kinds of people as a society
and not trying to figure out who gets blamed going into the next
election."
Jon Cooper, Chairman of the Democratic Party Coalition, tweeted the following to Vice-President
Pence on August 4th: "Fuck you, @VP. Our nation doesn't want
your thoughts and prayers. You and @realDonaldTrump -- and congressional
Republicans -- are complicit in these horrific acts of gun violence. YOUR HATE
SPAWNS DOMESTIC TERRORISM BY WHITE NATIONALISTS. The blood of innocent victims
is on your hands!" [Blog Editor: I
have to comment here on this Dem Party sentiment. There are Left-Wing
extremists and Right-Wing extremist who BOTH utilize violence in the name of
their agenda and anger. Both sides activate that violence when they hear or
read something that will set them off. AND what they heard may be something as
simple that normal people would write or vote their political anguish of what
was heard from a Progressive (I hate that term
for a Leftist who promotes politics that regresses ultimately to totalitarianism)
or heard from a Conservative. So, when someone like Cooper spews profane venom
toward a Christian Conservative like Pence, what do you think a violent
Right-Wing extremist will with that? If a Right-Winger retorts in violence, is
it Trump’s fault or Cooper’s fault? Perhaps I should inspire an Antifa Left-Wing
extremist and say to Cooper, “Get off your mouth polluted high-horse! Is an
Antifa violent response my fault? Trump’s fault? Or Cooper’s fault?]
Where was all this rage and fury when a deranged 66 year old Leftist gunman shot
five people, at Eugene Simpson Stadium Park in Alexandria,
Virginia, on June 14th 2017, including Representative Steve Scalise?
Regarding El Paso, President Trump tweeted: "Today's shooting
in El Paso, Texas, was not only tragic, it was an act of cowardice. I know that
I stand with everyone in this Country to condemn today's hateful act. There are
no reasons or excuses that will ever justify killing innocent people." And
after the Dayton attack, Pres. Trump tweeted: " ... information
is rapidly being accumulated in Dayton" noting that law enforcement
response "was very rapid in both" Dayton and El Paso, as he added,
"God Bless the people of El Paso Texas. God Bless the people of Dayton,
Ohio."
Many of our youth today are reaching adulthood believing
that the foreign and antithetical Marxist ideology of communism and communism
light, i.e. socialism, are attractive alternatives to the Constitution and free
market capitalism, and they adhere to the communist adage of eventually
implementing it "by any means necessary",
including violence, thanks to 80 years of socialist indoctrination in the
public education system. Today's violence is a reemergence of the 1960s
violence of the Black Panthers and Students for a Democratic Society, as seen
through Antifa, Black Lives Matter and the New Black Panthers; except now, some
youth, who see themselves as "conservatives" and defenders of the
American culture, are answering in kind and for reasons based in
fallacies, with a flawed understanding of conservatism.
With that said, there was some real truth offered in the El
Paso shooter's manifesto. He wrote, in part: "...
America is rotting from the inside out, and peaceful means to stop this seem to
be nearly impossible. The inconvenient truth is that our leaders, both Democrat
AND Republican, have been failing us for decades. They are either complacent or
involved in one of the biggest betrayals of the American public in our history.
... America will soon become a one-party state. ... They [the Democratic Party]
have already begun the transition by pandering heavily to the Hispanic voting
bloc in the 1st Democratic Debate. They intend to use open borders, free
healthcare for illegals, citizenship and more to enact a political coup by
importing and then legalizing millions of new voters."
However, for the most part, this manifesto was a confused
jumble that mixed communist and capitalist ideologies, especially towards the
end, when he espoused Malthusian depopulation of the planet and sustainable
development. More than any "Trump supporter", his "manifesto"
read more like an ANTIFA member wrote it, and gibberish.
According to many on the Left today and exhibited in
numerous acts of rioting and violence in America, since 2014, some statements
are equivalent to an act of violence, especially if they target socialist pet
projects like "affirmative action" and "welfare". Using
their twisted logic, if there isn't any difference between words and action --
if "Oppressive speech ... is violence" as noted by Nobel Prize author
Toni Morrison -- and the use of violence can be exonerated if done in the name
of "the right ideas", then the El Paso shooter would have been in the
right, if only he hadn't targeted innocent civilians and he had targeted those
officials he believed to be responsible for our situation.
After the deadly incident at Charlottesville last August,
the white supremacists were condemned for their violence, by the U.S.
Commission on Civil Rights, but not even a peep of condemnation was ever
directed towards the extremely violent Antifa, which evidently was using force
for "the right reasons".
The Left and Antifa have long adopted the philosophy that an
argument is as bad as a fist, so a fist is as good as an argument, and
currently, the Alt-Right embraces that same philosophy. Antifa hates the
profit-seeking corporations and wants an all-powerful, authoritarian socialist
state, ruled by the proletariat. The Alt-Right hate immigrants and racial
minorities and advocate an all-powerful fascist state, ruled by white
nationalists. Both hate capitalism and our system based on the primacy of the
individual, independence and individual rights -- the system that opposes
collectivism -- the system that rejects the initiation of force and the system
that has historically always legitimately stood against the Left and its
inherent tyranny.
If the evil of insane, indiscriminate mass shootings is ever
to become a thing of the past, whether one is a Christian or not, Americans must return to the teachings and
early principles, that were based on solid Judeo-Christian principles, simply
because they teach people to be good and righteous. The value of reason
must also be upheld, along with a respect of each other's right to believe as
they wish and speak their minds, so long as they do not step on another's same
rights or infringe on one's liberty, without any just cause based on a criminal
act. [Bold text by Editor]
Whatever their reasons, the fact that all three targeted
innocent civilians makes all three shooters the worse kind of evil, despicable,
and reprehensible of cowards, who are surely all on their way to busting the
Gates of Hell wide open ... although the live one's final judgement day is
still a bit far off.
As Mulvaney would later add: "There's no benefit here
trying to make this a political issue. This is a social issue."
But anyone paying attention full well understands that along
with the mentally ill, who are a part of the equation and dynamics, this
absolutely is a political issue. One half the population is determined to
eradicate the Constitution and the Founding principles in favor of anti-freedom
authoritarian socialism and tyranny, and the other half is more than determined
to defend our beloved America's Founding Principles and freedom and liberty at
any cost. And this cannot be resolved without one side or the other deciding
the other side is actually right and giving up the fight. The nation must
largely choose one path or the other -- Unite
-- because it cannot serve two different and antithetical ideologies and
remain a republic; and without a peaceful solution, the nation will see great
civil strife and, in due time, civil war. [Bold text Editor’s. Justin’s thoughts bring to mind the words of a
great American and the words of the Savior of humankind:
A house divided against itself
cannot stand." I believe this government cannot endure, permanently, half
slave and half free. I do not expect the Union to be dissolved — I do not
expect the house to fall — but I do expect it will cease to be divided.
“It will become all one thing or
all the other. Either the opponents of slavery will arrest the further spread
of it, and place it where the public mind shall rest in the belief that it is
in the course of ultimate extinction; or its advocates will push it forward,
till it shall become alike lawful in all the States, old as well as new — North
as well as South.” – Abraham
Lincoln June 16 1858
16 Others, testing Him, sought from Him a sign from heaven. 17 But He, knowing
their thoughts, said to them: “Every kingdom divided against itself is
brought to desolation, and a house divided against
a house falls. 18 If
Satan also is divided against himself, how will his kingdom stand? Because you
say I cast out demons by Beelzebub. 19 And if I cast out demons by Beelzebub, by whom do
your sons cast them out?
Therefore they will be your judges. 20 But if I cast out demons with the finger of
God, surely the kingdom of God has come upon you. – Jesus the Christ the
Son of God found at Luke
11: 15-20 NKJV
