Folks:

Another weekend of chaos and horrific murder. What are we to think? I think the Left is getting what it has sought for decades. And we have likely not seen the worst of it.

After the Newton, CT elementary school shooting in 2012, I wrote an article which included the following quote:

Throughout the last century, up until the gun control act of 1968, there were few restrictions on gun ownership, save the heavy regulation of automatic weapons. A kid could order a rifle through the mail. There were no Columbines, no Virginia Techs', no Auroras, no Newtowns. There were many people with mental illnesses, ADD, Asperger's, autism and other problems, although perhaps they went by different names. But these kinds of things just did not happen.

What changed? What changed is that our society became unhinged from its bedrock belief in God. In earlier times, churches were filled on Sundays and people generally conformed to a code of decency and behavior accepted throughout society. We swore less, raged less, dressed more modestly, frowned upon braggarts and liars, respected authority and approached life with a modesty and humility borne both of hard experience and religious training.

Of course there were exceptions, but for all our collective failings as human beings, we took our religions and our religious beliefs seriously. Organized religion, especially Christianity, demands a level of decency, modesty and humility that is largely missing in today's distracted, self-absorbed, ego-driven, anything-goes culture. And we are reaping the rewards.

I still believe that is at the heart of our nation's sickness. But it is getting help; help of the most malevolent kind. The initial impetus came, of course, from Communists. Willi Munzenberg, a member of Lenin's inner circle who helped found the Frankfurt School, said at the time (circa 1919), "We will make the West so corrupt it stinks... Only then, after [we] have corrupted all its values and made life impossible, can we impose the dictatorship of the proletariat."

The Communists are still at it. While the Dayton and El Paso shooters may have just been deranged whackjobs, I do not think all these events are random or unplanned. There is a method to the madness.
