A Bloody Utopia
150 people in Harris County, Texas have paid for the Democrat's soft on crime Utopian policies.
Mornin', y'all.
Happy New Year!
Time marches on.
I wanted a day full of football and free of politics, but the first thing I saw was the statistic that 150 murders have been committed by criminals after they were released by soft on crime prosecutors in Harris County, Texas.
Yep, that's right. Harris County - Houston is like the Mos Eisley of Texas. You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy...and Democrat rule.
Democrats have decided the judicial system creates criminals rather than the criminals choosing to commit crimes. I mean, what choice do they have but to commit crimes, it is a rational response to the systemic racism, anti-immigrant sentiments and white supremacy that pervades most Democrat controlled majority minority cities (Houston is roughly 36% white).
Never mind the complete contradiction that the areas where criminal catch and release is being pursued are, as noted above - majority minority AND controlled by Democrat governments.
It can't be them at fault, so it must be the judicial institutions and systems.
So, in their minds releasing criminals who kill (as well as others who simply go out and engage in their same pattern of criminal behavior, emboldened by the knowledge they won't be held accountable) is a form of reparation - they call it restorative justice.
But it is neither restorative nor justice.
It is just an excuse that satisfies their ideology.
You see, you support the Constitution, the justice system, and your local police, and because you do, you must be punished. It is your fault the criminals do criminal things. You created them by creating and enforcing your stupid laws about murder, theft and other assorted crimes against the citizenry.
You gun toting maniac, in your comfortable suburban home, with your wife and 2.4 kids, a good job, paying your bills on time and never driving more than 10 miles an hour over the posted highway speed limit, are the real criminal, a social criminal totally responsible for social injustice in America.
You must acknowledge your sins and be cleansed of them.
These criminals, as Nancy Pelosi said of MS-13 members, have the spark of Divinity in them.
Yep, it is nuts, but that's where the Democrats are (and have been for a long time).
It is what Jean Kirkpatrick identified as "Blame America First" taken to the extreme, and brought down from a geopolitical perspective to the local courthouse.
Remember what Ambassador Kirkpatrick said - in her famous speech at the 1984 GOP national convention, she said:
“The American people know that it’s dangerous to blame ourselves for terrible problems that we did not cause. They understand just as the distinguished French writer, Jean Francois Revel, understands the dangers of endless self- criticism and self-denigration. He wrote: ‘Clearly, a civilization that feels guilty for everything it is and does will lack the energy and conviction to defend itself.’”
She was speaking of a pathological problem with Democrats, the tendency to blame America before considering any other possibility. In the past 38 years, the only thing that has changed is that Kirkpatrick’s “Blame America First” has become “Blame AMERICANS First”, devolving from civilizational blame to the blame of individuals. America is evil because you are evil is the new hotness.
The problem with Democrats goes deeper than politics, in truth, politics is the symptom, the outward expression of something akin to a mental illness. It is not classical narcissism – because it is not really rooted in love of self. Narcissists see others as inferior because they BELIEVE they are superior and simply cannot be wrong. This is almost a negative narcissism because the greatest fear of those affected is that they are inferior, that they are wrong. They carry a deeply rooted sense of frustration brought about by a crippling fear their inferiority will be discovered – and that fear results in striking out at others through blame-shifting.
The problem is not that the Democrats have adopted this "blame the victim" idea as part of their ethos, it is that this idea is patently, provably wrong.
150 people in Harris County alone have paid the ultimate price for the Democrat's error.
But you must break a few eggs to make an omelet, right?
Something tells me that any Utopia born from the blood of innocents isn't really Utopia.
Happy 2022 to you too! Again well written and am looking forward to more brilliant writing for the upcoming year. I am just happy that here in Virginia we will have a Republican as Governor for the next 4 years.
