Faking Conservative Violence

We hear the stories all the time – the dark hints that people on the right are just boiling on the edge of violence. As it turns out, of course, almost all such stories are false. Here is another example of this:

A recent Oklahoma abortion clinic bomb scare turns out to have been a false alarm…

…After an investigation from the Tulsa Police Department bomb technician, it was discovered that the package was not a bomb. Moreover, Linda Meek, the 63-year-old director of the abortion clinic, admitted to planting the “bomb” herself and reporting it to police. She is no longer employed at the facility and faces a federal lawsuit for intentionally giving “false and misleading information.” The media hammered on the story for hours before the truth came to light…

The narrative of the left is that we’re violent – and if we won’t conveniently confirm the narrative, they’ll just make it up. In this case, by planting a fake bomb and hoping to get the media to make a big issue of it. The MSM is usually willing to go along. Taking the very few acts of violence done over the years as a hook, they puff up any accusation of violence as “proof” of the liberal narrative.

The world we live in is simply full of lies – and not like it always has been. We’ve always had liars to contend with, but now they are woven in to the fabric of our society so that even people who should know better are often fooled by them. This state of affairs is no surprise as liberalism, itself, is based on a lie and can only be sustained by lies – as we are living now in the tail end of a dying liberal dominance, lies are found everywhere. From stories such as this all the way up to accusations of inherent American racism to frauds about the imminent death of the world – all lies, all designed to serve a lie, and all of them deforming the public debate.

In order to cure this we’ll have to be diligent in punishing those who lie. This particular lady is going to feel the heat, but the larger, societal liberalism will not, unless we change things, be called to account for their lies. We must hold them accountable as it is the only way the truth can emerge and become a guide in our decisions.
