REALITIES
By Martin Farrell — Friday, October 11th, 2024
A response to Kelly Scoles’ letter: Hi Kelly, As the election looms darkly in front of us, political commentary of every sort condenses into sulfuric stuff. Emotion replaces logic and lies escape detection in the process of phony fact-checking. The American market is busy selling its soul to foreign power gods for short term gains, earned from 200 years of blood, sweat, tears and innovation. What remains of the Woke-Democrat fire sale of American citizenship is squandered on millions of coddled illegals, who produce millions more terrorists, drug dealers, rapists and fraudulent voters, while consuming our welfare. We reject absolute Truth – “Do not cast your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you to pieces.” In our brave new world, we manage to slop the hogs with the family jewels. All this governmental perversity produces deep seated confusion, which the poet Keates saw as the falcon unable to hear the falconer, as “things fall apart”. Anyone looking at America today with clear eyes can see an historical rejection of traditional, foundational (Constitutional) Judeo-Christian values. The country today may show Franklin that we are no longer able to keep that Republic he helped found at the Constitutional Convention in 1787. So, Kelly, when I read your laundry list of anti-Trump allegations, complaints, exaggerations, and untruths, they inspire memories of Aldous Huxley and George Orwell novels, 1984 and Brave New World, respectively, each a reflection of the world today. For example, Orwell has his World State Motto: “COMMUNITY, IDENTITY, STABILITY”, while the Democrat Party has its “Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI)”, each seeking perfection in an imperfect world. I find it ironic that these goals are as old as Thomas More’s “Utopia” (meaning nowhere) and a favorite quote of Wm. F. Buckley’s “Don’t immanentize the eschaton” (don’t ignore the good seeking the perfect. My interpretation – often humorous reminder among Republicans in the 1960s). I’ll just list a few of your more glaring historical infractions pertaining to Trump. Statements: “Constitution is optional” absurd if taken literally. “Fomenter of violent Capitol insurrection.” Despite media propaganda, this was exactly a 4-hour quasi riot, no fire, no (civilian) guns, no (civilian) shootings, no knives, and with Capitol Police escorting most of the crowd into the building. Outrageous Democrat propaganda called the Capitol incident an “insurrection” for years – finally truthfully re-labeling it a riot. At the same time Democrats say nothing about the 2020 true insurrections where “hundreds of [George Floyd] riots took place in the second half of 2020 left immense property damage, assessed at up to $2 billion, and at least 25 people dead.” Liberal sources never describe the Floyd riots as “insurrections”. Also, “Trump adjudicated rapist” – “The verdict was split: jurors rejected Carroll’s claim that she was raped.” These defamatory statements about Trump allegedly “disparaging military wounded and dead” deserve treble damages if civil justice were available. Not worth refuting again. As for Trump being “authoritarian”? Another absurd allegation. You just don’t recognize strength because you are more comfortable with the weakness of the Democrat Party. If you want an honest look at Kamala’s leadership abilities just pay attention to her abject failures in the current hurricane disasters – no FEMA or military help when most needed. The next hurricane, MILTON, landing tonight (Wednesday) will be even worse! Pray for the hurricane victims, mostly because they receive no help from the Biden-Harris presidential pretenders. This is a preview of coming war attractions which will also be upon us very soon. |
