The unfolding evil of the Left

[Michie]

​

Is best demonstrated by its almost knee jerk tendency to assume malice in anyone who strives for what common sense once said was good. Here, NPR swoops in to suggest the sudden concern over our dangerously low birthrates could be - you guessed it - thinly veiled white nationalist white supremacy racist Naziism. Because of course. Apparently anyone thinking more babies are good must be motivated by wickedness. Which speaks volumes about the NPR mentality, if you think on it.

As a bonus, I love how the above artwork displayed in the piece has a white family, which obviously is suppose to elicit panic and visions of Nuremberg rallies on the part of the reader. The idea that a white family is supposed to suggest something evil purely by being a white family is hilariously demonic. But it shows how far the Left has come in its apparent conclusion that the only problem with the Nazis was that they race hated and mass exterminated all the wrong people for all the wrong reasons.

Remember kids, if you ever and only reference an ethnic group, skin color, or other demographic based on accident of birth purely in negative, accusatory or pejorative ways, then you're a racist.

Naturally the content of the article is of no importance. It's the usual building a false molehill by ignoring a mountain of inconvenient facts and suffering and human experiences. In other words, contemporary journalism. I seriously doubt that science can possibly invent an instrument able to gauge the utter worthlessness of the modern media.

The unfolding evil of the Left

And they actually believe the nonsense they spout---that's the disturbing part.

The official anthem of the American Progressive Left:

Notice the Tesla and the posters in the garage in the picture?

 

[RileyG]

Yes. We need more babies to replace our dying generation, thats a fact.

Yep.

A bit of messaging there….

A bit of messaging there….

What do they have against babies and pregnancy, anyway?

I think I was suspended from here for awhile years ago when I posted something like:”Keep deciding on abortions, lefties. We don’t need more of your kind.” It was tongue in cheek, but it upset a moderator or two at the time.

I'll say, I honestly think you truly mean well in some roundabout sense. But I think you are off-kilter a bit. Michie isn't making things up. A bust of hitler is in the garage. Also, if they should leave people alone, why would you be imposing on them here?

God can judge the man and knows his heart. We shouldn't jump to evil conclusions about others right off.

1 Corinthians 13:4-7
4Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no account of wrongs. 6Love takes no pleasure in evil, but rejoices in the truth. 7It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.

As for jokes about Lord Jesus, I wouldn't make them myself either personally, but I don't think the man is intending disrespect to the Lord. If you think he is, I believe the correct response is to pray for him. It works worlds better than criticism and accusing him of being a fake Christian.

Lastly... mean spirited? He is quite obviously being playful. He might be a big bulldog knocking over the china set in the living room, but I have all ideas he would wag his tail and give you doggie kisses after. (If he were a dog, of course.)

Live, love, pray for, try to understand those you disagree with.

Thank you for this, Zceptre. I know I can come off as a real ugly type sometimes, but I'm actually a pretty nice guy, at least on weekends and national holidays when the moon isn't full. There is an aspect of my personality that I have worked to suppress for years, with only partial success; I call it "The Sergeant". I can be funny, and I can be sarcastic, and I can make inappropriate jokes sometimes; and I can also be cool, taciturn, and even nasty on occasion, but nothing really too bad. It's a failing on my part, and I try to control it with prayers, devotions, and behavior (walking away is always a good move on my part, I have found, especially if the argument isn't really worth it), but if "The Sergeant" makes his appearance, load for grizzly and Katie bar the door, because things are going to get really uncomfortable.

When "The Sergeant" shows up, I am liable to get loud, profane, belligerent, extremely defensive, and even combative, if it comes to that. But that's usually only when somebody is getting pushy with me or they're trying to put me down or take advantage of me in some fashion. Thanks be to God for my wife, who has been there to reel me in on many, many occasions. If not for her, some confrontations would have been much uglier than they actually were. And she's also been there when I have suffered a PTSD-induced amygdala hijack, which happens when I am exposed to a sudden, loud, percussive noise, something like a car backfiring or a box hitting a floor---anything that resembles gunfire, or any loud noise that I'm not expecting, and my brain signals my body and says, "Imminent danger: take protective measures!", and I end up crouched, or even prone on the floor, shaking, sweating, heart hammering, and basically unable to function for anywhere from ten to twenty minutes. And my wife will stroll over to me and direct traffic, when people ask, "Is he all right?", and she'll say, "He will be, in a little while." And eventually, I'll come up out of it, and be able to deal with things again.

This has caused me some embarrassment from time to time, but I'll live. I remember once, I was leaving Mass. It was a windy day outside, and people were leaving through the side door of the church. I was just about to dip my fingers in the holy water font, and the wind caught the door where somebody had just exited, and blew it closed with an awful boom. I went into a low crouch, slammed back against the wall, and started hyperventilating. I scared the poor woman who was just behind me half to death; she asked if I was all right, and I managed to choke out, "PTSD!" before starting to shake. She said, "Ohhh---you heard that crash!" I had a small crowd of solicitous parishioners around me almost instantly, and I did my best to assure them that I would be fine in a little bit. It's something that I can't control, and when it happens, all I can do is ride it out. PTSD literally re-wires your brain, and there's no way to "fix" it; all you can do is manage the symptoms.

Hey, sure thing man. It's the truth after all.

I have some ptsd myself. Mine isn't quite so heroic, not from war, got it in childhood. When the pupils dilate and the heart rate goes hypersonic, there isn't much to do but hold on for the ride.

The wife, now that is a nice thing to have, praise God for her. She sounds like a trooper you got there.

Dark humor, oh man i've got that. I've been near death (non-war related) five times and really looked death in the face and said "well, this must be it." Also had to witness some evils that most people can't imagine, and it really grips your soul and twists it up. You learn to find something to laugh about or you'll permanently break.

Sure we aren't normal, but normal is overrated.

See, most people don't think this is funny, but I do:

Patient: “Where exactly are you taking me, doctor?”
Doctor: “To the morgue.”
Patient: “What? But I’m not dead yet!”
Doctor: “And we’re not there yet.”

lol...
