Can we PLEASE Make America SANE Again???

I've refrained from posting on this blog or Facebook about the false story promoted by the MSM and the Radical Left regarding the young men from Covington Catholic High School and the supposed confrontation that occurred in DC after the March for Life last week.  The reason I've waited is that I am really, really, really angry about the story and I did not trust myself to write in an even remotely measured manner about the dregs of our society who are spreading lies and hate in the name of advancing a radical political agenda that can only succeed by keeping Americans divided.  Granted, no one in the MSM or the Leftist Hater Mob wanted to even acknowledge that there was a very well-attended pro-life event and were desperately searching for ANYTHING else to report about, but it is still disgusting that they took a short clip of video or, in some cases, just a still photograph and ran with it without even stopping to question whether it made any sense whatsoever or investigating it AT ALL.  Even after the story was exposed as false and a full two hours' worth of video started circulating that did not even come close to showing an iota of what was being said took place, Leftist asshats continued to double down and spread even MORE lies.  In the MSM's haste to string up anyone who committed the crime of wearing a MAGA hat, they actually contributed to placing these young men in very real danger as their personal information was made public and they began receiving death threats.  Their school had to be closed because of the threats, and even though by then it was known that the teens had done absolutely nothing wrong, the Radical Left continued to slander and call for the heads of these kids.  And when a couple of celebrities who obviously still possess at least a shred of decency came out and apologized after learning the full story, those celebrities were then attacked by their own ranks!  These piranhas are out for blood and they don't care who they have to mow down to get it.  Then those who were duped into believing a false narrative before there was any proof that it actually happened started back-pedaling and pointing fingers at guess who?  Trump and his supporters.  (Insert eye roll here.)  How original!

This whole thing got me thinking.  The only thing these kids did "wrong" was wear hats that support OUR PRESIDENT.  Although I suspect that the vicious vilification of them was intensified by the fact that they were also white, male and Christian, I am truly shocked and appalled that an article of headwear can incite such hatred and evil in anyone.  Seriously, if a red hat is enough to make you act in such a ruthless and despicable way, you need some intense mental health treatment.  I've watched as the Leftists have become so consumed with hatred over the past few years and I've found it kind of amusing as they continue to show what truly despicable people they really are.  Their extremism is what got Trump elected in the first place and I've laughed as they just keep getting more and more radical, turning the silent majority off in the process.  But this is not funny.  When you have lost your mind to the point that you are calling for violence against children who never asked to be in the spotlight, you are a special kind of evil.  Please understand that I make a distinction between "liberals" and "Leftists."    I know plenty of liberals who are decent and kind.  In my opinion, those people are wrong on about 95% of the issues, but I have no doubt that their hearts are in the right place and we just happen to disagree on the best solutions to some common problems and we also disagree on what issues are most important.  That kind of discourse is completely healthy and I welcome it.  THIS is definitely not that.  I used to feel sorry for these Leftists.  I thought it sad that they must be so miserable and lack so much in their lives that they are constantly seeking to be angry and offended to drown out their feelings about their own miserable existence.  I'm done feeling sorry for them.  Being hateful is a choice and there are many, many, many who choose not to live that way.  I believe in karma, cosmic justice, fate or whatever you want to call it, and I really hope these people get what they deserve in the end.  No, that's not very Christian of me, but I don't care.  That's something for me to work on another day.  Today, I'll pray for these kids, their families, their school, our country and the strength to be a better person.  Tomorrow, maybe I'll be able to #chooselove <3
