Satanist erected a statue in the Iowa capitol and a Christian man knocked it down. We are now solemnly informed that this isn’t the way. That if we don’t allow that speech we won’t be able to speak, ourselves. This is just the sort of Libertarian/Progressive drivel that has nearly destroyed Civilization this past century. It is simply untrue that I am only able to be free when I’m covered in filth.

Freedom is not the ability to do anything you want: it is the ability to freely choose to do the right thing. Conservatives used to understand this but after a century of merely Conserving Progressive mistakes, this has been lost. The basic American Conservative of 2023 would fit right in with the Progressives of 1923. The modern American Conservative is in favor of Big Business, of foreign alliances and of allowing the wicked to operate freely – once again, on the stupid theory that if we don’t allow evil, we can’t have good.

This notion must be utterly rejected. There are some ideas so bad that they must be forcibly rejected. That particular Satan statue was just another in a series erected by vulgar nincompoops who do that just to insult Christians (they always seek to erect their garbage at Easter or Christmas; if they were really trying to do something for themselves rather than against Christians, they’d pick a day in June). In truth, such a statue is the least of our worries, but it is of the same species as all the other attacks on decency and logic which we are told we must defend if we’re to have decency and logic. But all of this is like telling a young man or woman that their best chance of remaining chaste is to go work in a brothel. It just doesn’t work like that. To have decency and logic we must defend decency and logic – and condemn, ostracize and punish the indecent and illogical.

Why? Well, that Senate staffer getting it on in a committee room is why. Think about the chain of events – the thought process – which brought those two men to that decision. What was missing in both of them was the least sense of decency or the least appreciation of logic. Their whole being is nothing but unreasonable indecency. This has nothing to do with the particular type of sex – it would have been just as bad had it been a man and woman engaging in the action. The fact that two adults thought it a good idea to have sex in a Senate room is a negation of every last aspect of civilization. Sure, the guy got fired – but do you think there will be further punishment? Do you doubt the man will get a good job somewhere else? He’s already out there attacking those who condemned his action – we’re denying his love, don’t you see? That he and his friend could have got a hotel room and done the same thing and nobody would have a complaint doesn’t even register…he and his friend thought it was a good idea and we’re all supposed to accept that.

How is our civilization supposed to survive with people like that? People who clearly don’t think there was anything wrong with what they did?

We’re hanging by a thread here, guys. A recent poll shows a majority of 18-24 year olds think that the solution to the war in Gaza is to turn Israel over to Hamas. This is insane…but really no more insane than a couple people bumping uglies in a Senate room. We’re getting precisely what we allowed…and now we’ve got a rising generation that would vote for Hitler if he offered to annul student loans. Guys, he was a vegetarian, non-smoking, non-drinking former art student; he’s tailor made for the run of the mill AntiFa activist. He was also a badly educated momma’s boy who thought he had special knowledge. Sound familiar?
