I was listening to Meet the press and
Pete Buttigige blamed the shooting on social media after Kristin Welker asked "is social media a cancer?"

Welker went on to run a clip of Trump saying he would go after anyone who funds political violence. Butthurt then used that to attack Trump, saying such speech is the very problem. He said Trump was "cracking down on political opponents" and that is a clearly dishonest statement; he's cracking down on people who have broken laws.

He kept saying we need more open political discourse. That was, of course, precisely what Charlie Kirk promoted and is what he and his side openly opposed repeatedly. How many speech codes were imposed by the Democrats? How many conservatives were ruined by them, lost their jobs, etc.? The hypocrisy is astonishing.

Where was he when college professors organized black lives matter and Antifa riots? Where was he when a professor at the University of Missouri Columbia called for "muscle" to rough up a student journalist who was filming their violent activity? Where was he when police were being attacked? Where was he when his collegues were calling for abusing Republicans in public places? Where was he when Chuck Schumer threatened the Supreme Court with violence (you will reap the whirlwind!) When a mob showed up at their homes? Where was he when a leftist attempted to assassinate Brett Kavanaugh? Where was he when a leftist tried to assassinate the Republicans who were practicing softball?

Kristin Welker, ever dishonest, tried to call the attempted assassination of Trump the same as the beating of Paul Pelosi, Nancy's ac/dc hubby. Pelosi's attack may or may not have been about politics. It may well have been personal. We never got a satisfactory  answer to that question and the media clammed up which suggests it was indeed personal. She knows that too. But the worse that happened was a beating, while Kirk was publicly murdered. Not the same at all.

She forgets that Harry Reid got the crap beat out of him by someone too and he retired shortly thereafter. There was never any hint that that attack was political. In fact it was probably Mafia related. Pelosi moved in similar circles.

The fact is these liberals have nothing comparable from the Right and they know it. Even the targeting of Democrats in Minnesota was not by a conservative but by a Bernie Sanders fan who wanted to get Establishment Democrats out of the way so Sanders could win. They know that.

The panel were all in agreement in the belief that social media was the problem. Now why do you suppose they were all in lock-step? They will no doubt use this to try to limit free speech.

Social media only facilitates what is a moral and spiritual malady. It allows messed up souls to connect and inflate their craziness. But the Ruling Class has systematically encouraged all of this and this is the fruition of a program started long ago to fundamentally transform America, to eliminate the restraining force of Christianity, to turn people into beasts, driven by their lusts and angers and emotions. Social media just made that easier - it did not start the problem.

We have systematically dismantled the barriers, the civilizational guardrails that protect everyone then are surprised to find people behaving like animals. Well, isn't that what their schoolteachers and professors and everyone has told them from the time of their birth? That they are animals, mobile meat, and that there is nothing beyond the physical world? If that is so then why not kill someone you deem a bad person? If "thou shalt not murder" is only a social convention there is no reason not to do so.

Later on Fox News Sunday Mike "Tiny" Johnson, Squeeker of the House of Representatives, talked about how we need to tone down the rhetoric. He may be right, but not the rhetoric from OUR side; we are merely speaking Truth to Power. What enrages the Left is the Truth. Charlie Kirk spoke the truth, and that enraged them.

"Comity" doesn't work in an era like this; it means, in the minds of the Left, the surrender of the rest of us. Johnson kept saying "we must tone the rhetoric down" but he has to know who is putting out all the violent rhetoric. Jesus understood you have to speak the Truth boldly. It's why He called the Pharisees "vipers" and "hypocrites" and why he took a whip to the money changers in the Temple. Of course they killed him for it.

I agree; we need to win people over, and violence is not an option. But we are in a war that they have fought and we have pretended didn't exist. I fear Johnson doesn't understand that.
