Never Miss An Opportunity

Our dear President has managed to show his, never miss an opportunity to politicize a crisis and further his agenda philosophy, by visiting Roseburg today to meet the grieving families of yet another gun rampage, but reports are that thousands turned out “bristling at his renewed call for stricter gun laws. In some ways, the rampage at the college by a 26-year-old student, Christopher Harper-Mercer,” has actually reawakend the determination of most of the community to arm themselves.
“Some families touched by the violence and students who fled gunfire said they now feared that the kind of bloodshed seen inside Classroom 15 of Snyder Hall at Umpqua Community College could happen anywhere. Some said they were planning to buy guns. Others said they would seek concealed-weapons permits. Others, echoing gun advocates’ calls for more weapons on campus, said the college should allow its security guards to carry guns.”

One of Gary L Bauer’s observations in, What Are The Odds?, is worth considering. He said, “It was very frustrating watching the left spin its own narrative after last week's shooting at an Oregon community college. The left-wing media tried to downplay the fact that the shooter targeted Christians. Only a few outlets reported that one of the shooter's social media friends was a radical Islamist. Even fewer noted that one of the students at the college was Alek Skarlatos, one of three American heroes who prevented a jihadist from massacring scores of people on a Paris train. Now comes the bizarre news that Spencer Stone, another of the three Paris train heroes, was stabbed repeatedly in Sacramento last night. Stone is in critical condition, and expected to survive. Authorities say the attack was ‘happenstance.’ But given the world in which we live, this odd coincidence certainly raises questions.”

Dr. Ben Carson is getting scathing rebukes from writers on the left for his firm belief in biblical sanity. Of special note is the article in the Jewish Journal by Marty Kaplan, “The nutty neurosugeon.” He wrote, “when Carson, a retired Johns Hopkins neurosurgeon, denies that climate change is man-made, or calls the Big Bang a fairy tale, or blames gun control for the extent of the Holocaust, I think he truly believes it.”

He goes on with his tirade by stating that, “It’s conceivable that the exceptional hand-eye coordination and 3D vision that enabled Carson to separate conjoined twins is a compartmentalized gift, wholly independent of his intellectual acuity. But he could not have risen to the top of his profession without learning the Second Law of Thermodynamics (pre-meds have to take physics), without knowing that life on earth began more than 6,000 years ago (pre-meds have to take biology), without understanding the scientific method (an author of more than 120 articles in peer-reviewed journals can’t make up his own rules of evidence).”

It is obvious that Mr. Kaplan is a Jew in name only in that his belief in the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob and the plain statement of the Pentatuch states that god made the world in six literal days. Why does he not know that this is the year 5776 from creation? Herein is his education in question more than that of Dr. Carson’s. His liberal education explains his utter ignorance of truth,

He goes on to say, “Yet what does it mean to learn such things, if they don’t stop you from spouting scientific nonsense?” I might note here that pure science refutes an old earth, global warming, and many of the other liberal, socialistic, left thinking which is based upon those who have made up their own “peer-reviewed . . . rules of evidence.”

Kaplan, in normal goose step fashion, goes on to demean the Conservative base in America with the following in spite of Dr. Carson being deemed,  "deep," "thoughtful," "intelligent," "smart," "brilliant," a "top mind.”:

“Participants in focus groups of Republican caucus and primary voters in Iowa and New Hampshire, conducted in recent days by Bloomberg’s Mark Halperin and John” Heilemann, used these words to describe Carson: “deep,” “thoughtful,” “intelligent,” “smart,” “brilliant,” a “top mind.” I get this.  According to a recent Public Policy Polling report, 46 percent of Carson supporters (and 61 percent of Trump supporters) think President Obama was not born in the U.S., and 61 percent of Carson supporters (and 66 percent of Trump supporters) think the president is a Muslim.  Carson’s being called brilliant by that base ain’t baffling. What I don’t get is how his rigorous scientific education and professional training gave Carson’s blind spots a pass.  Was it, in George W. Bush’s memorable phrase, “the soft tyranny of low expectations”?  Or was it the tyranny of fundamentalism over facts?

America is in an ideological war with the Islamo-facist left, the Communist left, the Marxist left, and who knows what other mixture of American Exceptionalism hatred that is being foisted on a “low information” society.

The bottom line is this: Guns have never randomly killed people without being held by a mentally unbalanced person. Secular humanism and radical Islam are the two leading culprits in the violence we are experiencing today. The media industry should shoulder much of the responsibility for the video games and music lyrics it produces on a daily basis. Integrity and morality are the cure to the majority of our ills. Only someone unwilling to yield to the Sovereign right of God to make immutable rules can believe the opposite.
