Blue Oyster Cult once had a song entitled Don’t Fear the Reaper.  The song suggested that death should be welcomed.  While that attitude may offer solace to a terminally ill individual, it’s bad advice for a sick society.  Make no mistake, our society is sick, and getting sicker.  The Bible tells us that, “whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.”  Words and deeds have consequences.  Society can endure only when there’s a consensus regarding the rules; an agreement as to what’s right and what’s wrong.  We once had such a consensus.  We knew right from wrong.  Laws were enforced, and law enforcement officers were respected.  Most importantly, the media recognized reality, and usually acknowledged and reported the facts, the truth, if you will.  Case in point.  During the Reagan presidency, the media accurately reported what he did and said.  They criticized it, to be sure, but they recognized their responsibility to correctly report events.  Today’s sick society no longer strives for accuracy.  Stories are driven not by facts but by faction.  Simply put, we are sowing propaganda, lies, discontent, lawlessness, and division, and I’m afraid we may reap the bitter harvest of schism or revolution.  We simply can’t turn our Constitution, our laws, our morals, our norms, our language, and the truth itself, upside down and expect a good result.  There used to be a saying – “the law’s the law,” but today, the law is simply another tool to be wielded by our Progressive Masters, to reward friends and punish enemies.  While violent criminals are released without bail, Capitol protestors, whose only crime was trespassing, remain in jail after four months.  The most violent act on January 6th was the unjustified shooting of an Air Force veteran by an unnamed Capitol police officer.  Progressives exonerated that cop for using unjustified deadly force, yet they seek to hang good cops who act in accordance with proper procedures.  You and I may understand things are backwards, but you have to remember, Progressives are psychotic.  If there are five stages of grief, then certainly there are five stages of Progressive psychosis: 1) Anger – they’re always angry, even when they win; 2)  Self-righteousness – when you believe you’re always right, your every thought or whim becomes a moral imperative; 3) Denunciation – all who disagree, or who fail to agree enthusiastically enough must be destroyed; 4) Excuse – Whatever atrocity their ravings may incite must be excused because, “you just have to understand;” and 5) Denial – It never really happened.  It’s the Progressive version of a song from the show Chicago, “He had it coming, I didn’t do it, but if I done it, how could you say that I was wrong?”  Progressives, and their media lapdogs spent last Summer and Fall ignoring, excusing, and later denying months of violence perpetuated by Antifa and BLM provocateurs.  Cities were burned and looted.  Police stations were occupied and destroyed.  Courthouses were besieged.  Entire sections of cities were seized and administered as revolutionary fiefdoms.  The Left, in turn, ignored the riots, encouraged and supported them, excused them, and finally claimed they never happened, with Gerald Nadler declaring that the idea that any riots took place was a “myth.”  The current Vice-President raised money to bail out rioters.  Media outlets praised the rioters with gems such as, “property destruction as a tactic of resistance is frequently effective,” and “If violence isn’t the way to end racism in America, then what is?”  And we mustn’t use the word “riot.”  Ever wonder why young women are political morons?  Teen Vogue columnist Jenn M. Jackson said “rioters” and “looters” were negative terms used to “delegitimize” movements.  Just the raving of a misguided youth?  How about The New York Times, Paul Krugman?  He claimed that the people in the riot-ravaged cities don’t think their cities are riot-ravaged.  Krugman said GOP supporters believe that mobs burned and looted major cities, but the people actually living in those cities never noticed.  Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler has noticed, declaring, “The community is sick and tired of people engaging in criminal destruction and violence, and doing it under the guise of some noble cause.”  Others have noticed too.  Guns sales were up 40% last year, and there’s a shortage of ammunition.  Mayor Wheeler apparently didn’t get the Memo.  Any cause that furthers the ends of the Democrat Party is, by definition noble, no matter how destructive, or  un-American, it may be.  After the Black Lives Matters founder announced she was a trained Marxist, you might have thought that BLM was a Marxist organization dedicated to the violent overthrow of our system of government.  Such a thought is dangerous enough, but expressing it is downright treason.  A 20 year veteran cop in Hopewell Twp., NJ was fired for saying BLM rioters are terrorists.  Where did she get that crazy idea?  Maybe from the FBI, whose website, FBI.gov, defines domestic terrorism as “Violent, criminal acts committed by individuals and/or groups to further ideological goals stemming from domestic influences, such as those of a political, religious, social, racial, or environmental nature.”  BLM admits it’s actions are ideological.  BLM supports Joanne Chesimard, a cop killer who the FBI calls a “domestic terrorist,” and BLM’s website  proudly proclaims “this is the revolution.”  I hope the cop sues the balls off her feckless Department.  The point is that we can’t continue to sow the seeds of falsehood and recrimination without courting disaster.  Repeating the “systemic racism” and “killer cop” lies has consequences.  It’s a self-fulfilling prophecy.  If you convince people that the police are out to kill them, when confronted by police, they will resist, causing the police to use force when it could have been prevented.  And it’s not just young people.  This week, a cop in San Dimas , California stopped a woman in a Mercedes, who claimed to be a teacher, for using a cell phone while driving.  The woman went on a racial slur laced rant against the cop, repeatedly calling him a “murderer.”  The woman claimed she was using her phone to record the officer for fear that he would use excessive force, “Because you’re a murderer.”  After getting her ticket, the educator added, “Here you go, Mexican racist.  You’re always gonna be a Mexican.  You’ll never be white, you know that, right?  You’ll never be white, which is what you really want to be.  You want to be white.”  LA County Sheriff Alex Villanueva backed up his officer with an inconvenient truth, “If you want to call all of the deputies murderers, unfortunately, you are doing the exact same thing you’re accusing other people of doing against your own kind.”  When public discourse is sown with lies, you better fear the Reaper.
