How to proceed: with our heroines and heroes, though covered in glory, still covered by shrouds, our hearts eviscerated, theirs perhaps literally so, our hopes seemingly smashed, our babies stolen by serpents from hell? First, there are basic truths to never lose sight of. One, there are certain weapons we NEVER have reason, yes REASON, to EVER relinquish.
We never fight the forces of darkness with darkness. We use God's own Light. This is not a call for pacifism. Oh no, secondly, we proceed armed, not only with His "terrible swift sword" but with all the technological hardware we can amass against the bad guys, including yes, assault weapons and any other firearm our law enforcement organizations require. We arm ourselves with these objects but especially, we arm ourselves with Truth. Another reminder: guns do not kill people. People kill people. That's not a slogan on a bumper sticker. It's a simple truth and such a simple one, but those obsessed with the mechanics and physics of mass murder and not the spiritual cancer behind such abominations have great difficulty processing the crystal clear and manifest reality of this fact. Without understanding these simple verities no progress shall be forthcoming.
Mental illness as well as moral clarity are primary issues that we must deal with: the former's challenge and our task to courageously effect treatment of those suffering from it, is primary in our advancement towards a solution. The latter is equally important and is to be valued unequivocally as our chief tool/weapon against cursed forces of darkness. This means no parsing of truth, no enabling, no politically correct euphemisms for bad behavior and weird silences when red flags of improper acts and "acting out" appear and/or are excused, rationalized in the name of "civil rights", diversity, art or so-called self-expression. "Advancement" yes, we must seek it, but arriving at an earthly, final victory? It'll never happen. Evil will always be with us and the constant drama and exquisite tension between Goodness and its antithesis must be understood as a given. Liberalism, Progressivism, Marxism, Socialism, Obamaism, all these systems are thoroughly worthless and some even consciously ally themselves with Satanic forces. Want to scoff at such an assertion? Go ahead, pretend that relativism works and that man is a perfectible being if only controlled by "wiser" men. Forget the lessons of history: nationalism early in the 20th century, Fascism in the '30s, the monsters of mid century and up to the present (Stalin, Pol Pot, Saddam Hussein, Jihadists, etc.) and continue this willful amnesia. And do so at your great peril. But do not include good people and those who will have no truck with evil in your sociological agenda. Get the hell out of our churches, synagogues, our legislatures and executive seats of power and especially, out of our courts. We know how to bind up our own wounds and we don't need bloated government and its irresistible inclination to diminish our liberties whenever we become irrationally fearful of the diabolical scum that imagines itself for brief moments masters of our civilization. The terrorists, cockroaches, beaureaucrats and all other sub species of the Family of Man are those who need to be fearful, kept cowering in the dark and crushed as the serpent under the Virgin Mary's feet. Prideful? No, we know we cannot wage this war alone. We need Mary, her Son, Michael The Archangel and God the Father as well in order to route the maggots from hell. And we need each other to continue to love each other while ever struggling (our fate as mortals) to thusly solve the problem of human existence. END
