Laura Hollis: It’s Not Just “Normal” Versus “Crazy,” It’s Good Versus Evil

It was a great week.

As usual, President Joe Biden’s State of the Union “speech” This was a confusing mess of inane nonsense and manufactured hysteria. It also included irrelevance and outright lies.

Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders offered a tough, no-nonsense, hard-hitting response. She focused on the worst excesses being inflicted upon the country: weakness of foreign policy, unenforced immigration laws and illegal drugs flowing across our borders. Roaring inflation, top-down economic meddling. “green” “investments,” the total insanity of culture wars.

“Whether Joe Biden believes this madness or is simply too weak to resist it,” Sanders said, “this administration has been completely hijacked by the radical left.” With one of her finest barbs, she drove the point home: “The dividing line in America is no longer between right or left. The choice is between normal or crazy.”

Kudos governor for stating what millions of Americans have thought for a while now. We are actually quite the opposite. wayyyy past “normal” Compare “crazy.”

This is the good against evil.

Biden’s profoundly destructive policies aren’t the only thing that is at fault. The Olympic-level gymnastics that the deceitful press pretends to be reporting are just a few of the many lies he tells.

It’s everywhere.

U.S. Senator Ed Markey, D-MA, tweeted a “thumbs up” photo of him headed to the State of the Union Address sporting a pin that represented the word “Abortion” For the first, a cut-out of the heart “o” In the original meaning of the word, a gift from Planned Parenthood. “Abortion is essential healthcare,” Markey tweeted, “and we need to codify this right.”

I can recall when Democrats believed abortion was a tragic but sometimes necessary situation. Former President Bill Clinton wanted to ban abortion. “safe, legal and rare.” Now, it is a fashion statement and jewelry. The blue states have passed legislation that legalizes abortion in all nine months. “codify” Roe v. Wade wants the same type of law to be passed by Congress.

Celebrating the destruction of our own children — including full-term, viable babies in utero — is not just “crazy”It is evil.

Every day, the Twitter account Libs of TikTok exposes more of the attitudes and actions of so-called progressives — often teachers with the responsibility for shaping young minds — who are exposing children to their own sexual predilections, their gender confusion and their insecurities about their own identities, and demanding that children be forced to “accept” They all do it as part of their “education.” This is it Not Education is not indoctrination. Not just encouraging sexual promiscuity and gender conflict in minors, but also encouraging the mutilation or sex of healthy bodies, concealing classroom behavior from parents, and driving a wedge between families and children isn’t just. “crazy”It is not good.

Fredonia State University professor, State University of New York Fredonia, is being investigated. He has been advocating for normalization of pedophilia since at least twenty years. Others activists and academics insist that the term should be used. “minor-attracted persons” Instead of “pedophiles.” They believe that society should be more compassionate and that the law should be more gentle.

Query: Do the arguments you are pushing for seem convincing? “gender transition” Covert sexual activity with minors will not be allowed if their parents object or are unaware of it.

This isn’t just about “crazy”It is evil.

It happens all the time, and it is quite disturbing. “radical left” Sanders spoke candidly about the different sides. You need only look at this week’s Grammy Awards. Nominated Grammy Award nominees Sam Smith performed their duet “Wait for it …)” with Kim Petras. “Unholy,” Complete with red lighting and dancing in flames, Smith was dressed as Satan in a red cape, top hat and horns. He shared photos from rehearsal with the following caption: “This is going to be SPECIAL.” CBS, the broadcasting network, replied with the tweet “You can say that again. We are ready to worship!”

Worshipping Satan? Is that supposed be funny?

Smith’s performance was accompanied by a commercial with the tagline in an ironic twist. “the Grammy Awards are sponsored by Pfizer.” (Pfizer has received a lot of negative publicity in recent months. Project Veritas hidden camera video footage shows one of Pfizer’s employees saying that Pfizer may be considering intentionally mutating COVID viruses in the laboratory because there are no vaccines. “cash cows.”)

The internet went crazy. The tweet was deleted by CBS. Pfizer issued a statement saying that they sponsored the awards show, not any individual’s specific performance — which is not exactly the save they apparently think it is.

Even Madonna — a sad manifestation of excessive plastic surgery and unflattering style choices — was there to reinforce the message and her own cultural relevance. She introduced Smith and Petras. “If they call you shocking, scandalous, troublesome, problematic, provocative, or dangerous, you’re definitely on to something.”

Really? Still? Still? “shocking,” “scandalous” And “dangerous,” what’s left? Is it even possible to find out?

Sanders said, “Most Americans simply want to live their lives in freedom and peace, but we are under attack in a left-wing culture war we didn’t start and never wanted to fight.”

True. However, our failure to be resolute and reserved was our undoing. We may not want to fight this battle but we are there now and have only two options: to surrender or fight.

John Stuart Mill, 1867. “Let not any one pacify his conscience by the delusion that he can do no harm if he takes no part, and forms no opinion. Bad men need nothing more to compass their ends, than that good men should look on and do nothing.”

We cannot give up. We have been “doing nothing” It took too much time.
