Ever wonder what became of those bratty kids that went around
stomping other children’s sandcastles at the beach or tearing down their
building blocks at the playground? You know the type, the insufferably
narcissistic kid, the entitled kid, the kid for whom only two options existed:
either he possesses the toy or the toy must be destroyed. Either he gets to
choose what happens to whatever he determines belongs to him by right or
privilege, or he would rather choke the life out of it, and set it ablaze so no
one else could have it.
Well, if you’ve ever wondered what became of such children
when they grew up, wonder no longer. Evidently, they became members of congress
whose actions confirm that they’d rather see it all burn to the ground than
have a decent economy and a working government that they are not in complete
control of. They would rather lord over the ashes of a once vibrant, living
thing than being removed from the levers of power. It’s as simple as that!
When you cut through all the pontification, the
self-righteous bloviating, the sanctimony, and hypocrisy, it’s all about the
fact that they no longer have power, and that is something they cannot abide.
Either they get power back whether by hook or by crook, then in their eyes all
will be right with the world, or they claw and tear at the foundation of this
nation with their bleeding fingers until it’s nothing more than a heap of
rubble, something once impressive, but no longer.
Do as we want, say as we say, because if you don’t, we’re
going to tear it down anyway. Bend to our will, or we will take a crowbar to
every institution in this country because we don’t have the requisite neurons
bouncing around in our skulls to consider the consequences of our actions, or
the precedent it sets. The single-minded pursuit of a goal without regard for
collateral damage or unintended consequences is dangerous. If today is all that
matters, and if they don’t get their way, they are threatening to burn it to a
crisp, maybe these are not the types of people we should be entrusting with
matches and gasoline.
For those who understand the intent behind all that’s been
happening in the governing bodies of these United States, seeing people who
would likely begin to burn and blister at the sight of a cross attempt to heave
themselves upon moral high horses is both sad and comical. It’s not that they
don’t have a leg to stand on, they don’t even have the nubs the legs were
attached to anymore, but they persevere nevertheless because they cannot live
with the notion that they are no longer in control of your life.
I’ve been told that sort of power is addictive, seductive,
but also caustic to the soul. When by the raising of a hand, or the signing of
a name, you can control the fate of some three hundred million people, it’s the
power trip to end all power trips.
The handful of virtuous souls still in government want to
abide by the founding principles of this nation and allow the people as much
freedom as humanly possible; those not so virtuous want to control every aspect
of your life, down to how large of a soda pop you can get at a gas station, or
how many times a week you can have a burger. The more finite the control, the
greater the control, and the greater the control, the easier it is to
manipulate the masses into doing your bidding. Pretty soon they’ll take your
kids away just for insisting that gender is binary, or that homosexuality is an
aberrant sexual perversion. Oh wait, they’re already doing that.
With love in Christ,
