Violence begets violence

Reminded me of a CSPAN episode I once saw, of a group of people asking a book author questions. He had written about his interviews of police homicide detectives out of Baltimore, MD.

On one occasion, when the author had interviewed the detectives, he asked them:

“How do you all solve these homicides, when you do?”

They answered back ….

“ With ‘elbow grease’, creativity, and luck ”.

IMHO, this all started with the Politically Correct movement. I remember reading a definition of Political Correctness as being “A movement to introduce a new law system based on ‘tolerance’ as a prelude to the new INTOLERANCE” and, true to the definition, the Left is now tolerant of everything except individualism reflected in tastes, morals, religious beliefs or political philosophy. “Wokism” is just an expansion of the P.C. movement and Common Sense is NOT just a rare commodity on the Left - it has been eliminated (educated out) by no history education, no civics instruction and the lack of teaching Critical Thinking. But, then again, you cannot teach what you don’t have or understand. The Left uses titles Like “Politically Correct” which usually defies Common Sense, the same way they title proposed legislation in Congress to deceive people into supporting it. The “Affordable Care Act” comes to mind …

This singlehandedly destroyed my life back in the 90s and I never recovered. It was and is a frackin’ disaster that we have to fully get rid of, in all of its forms.
