Conservatives Falling into Leftist Habits?

Yesterday I was disturbed by the story about the bombs that were mailed to famous liberals. I thought, “Now people on the right are joining in the violence in a significant way.”

I wonder about that conclusion now.

In the past, we have seen a large number of liberal victimhood hoaxes. You know how it works. A black employee tells the police someone hung a noose in the break room at his company. Then security video shows him hanging it himself.

The bombs in the story have not gone off. Unlike the bombs Obama’s close friend Bill Ayers sent to people, they didn’t hurt anyone. How can that be? If you’re going to take the time to mail a bomb to someone, risking imprisonment or execution, won’t you take the time to get it right?

Maybe they were never meant to go off. Maybe they were meant to be found and used to discredit the political right.

Another thing: the labels on the bombs contained obvious misspellings. One wonders if this was an effort to promote the legend of the toothless backwoods Trump supporter who doesn’t know what’s good for him. “This is why we have to get rid of the Electoral College and rule these people from the coasts.”

I’m not placing any bets, but I have grave doubts about the theory that a conservative created and mailed these bombs.

There is no reason why a conservative could not have done this, but generally, American political violence is a leftist phenomenon. People like Timothy McVeigh are exceptional. We have seen a lot of skirmishes at conservative rallies, but that’s because leftists show up and attack. Leftist events don’t need conservative agitators in order to have skirmishes. Leftists are perfectly happy to fight the police. They think it’s cool.

In my mind, the odds that a conservative did this are about 25/75. I may be totally wrong. Sometimes things are what they seem to be.

Regardless of who did this, it was an appalling set of cowardly crimes. This is now how Americans should live. We should not have to be afraid to open our mailboxes just because we hold certain political beliefs. Antifa violence and asinine, frightening restaurant harassment scenes will never justify retaliatory terrorism.

I expect conservative violence to increase. Liberals identify us with Christianity, but many of us, including many conservatives who claim to be Christians, are against God. Many of us are so carnal, we think we have to respond in kind to gutter tactics.

Stories suggest Gavin McInnes’s group, the Proud Boys, promotes violence. I can’t tell whether that’s true, because as far as I know, they have never engaged in violence in the absence of a leftist attack. I hope it’s not true. The very idea of suiting up like brownshirts and taking to the streets with axe handles is repugnant and self-destructive. If that’s your answer to political problems, it doesn’t matter which side of the spectrum you embrace. You are the problem, not the answer. Leftism promotes barbarity and totalitarianism. If you’re doing the same thing, your system is a lateral move.

I don’t know much about McInnes. He seems like such a nice, funny guy in some of his comedy videos. I have read that he talks about his racial pride. I haven’t heard that, because I haven’t looked for his videos. Racial pride is a rabbit trail that leads to destruction, and it’s a delusion. Belonging to a particular race is nothing to be proud of. Pride itself is toxic.

McInnes complains about victimhood politics. I do that, too, because it turns people into dangerous racists and persecutors, but I don’t suffer from the delusion that I belong to a superior race. People of European extraction have experienced more success than any other group, but the reason we have succeeded is that we have made it our business to support the gospel. We have always been very corrupt, like everyone else, and we have done a poor job of serving God, but no one else was available, so God gave us hegemony in order to spread the word.

I believe God will help any person who submits to him. There are plenty of happy, successful Christians who are not white, and I believe that if white people had not supported God, we would be as unsuccessful as anyone else.

Far-eastern Asians are better at math than white Gentiles, and Jews are better at everything. If there is a master race, it’s not us.

People say McInnes claims white people are under siege. That’s true. When you live in a country where you can be forced to stay home from your job at a university so they can celebrate a white-free day, and when you are surrounded by people who use the terms “white privilege” and “the problem of whitness,” without fear, to suppress you, your race is under siege. That doesn’t mean we should turn on other races or see our genes as superior.

People are supposed to belong to what is known as the body of Christ. This is a group that spans all ethnic groups. A black person who prays in tongues every day and tries to live a sanctified life is my brother or sister. A white witch is not, even if she’s my biological sister. That’s how things are supposed to work.

I want to be among kind, gentle Christians whose hearts are in line with mine. Give me Christians of other races and nations any day, over white leftist Americans who support sexual confusion, witchcraft, pride, and atheism.

It’s useful for leftists to lump Christians and conservatives together, because Christians tend to be conservative, but conservatism is not holy or Christian. It’s simply something that tends to happen to people who know God, because God leads people out of leftism, which originated in the heart of Satan. A serious, Spirit-led Christian will eventually become conservative, but it’s also possible to become conservative and be a hate-filled racist who worships the devil.

It’s interesting. Destructive racists are criticizing victimhood politics and acknowledging the wave of hostility toward whites, and so are loving Christians who want others to do well. Many, many black and Latin Christians are against victimhood politics. We and the racists have somewhat similar views on these issues, for different reasons. That’s very useful to Satan, because he can convince the simple that everyone who is against these things is a racist who must be beaten into submission.

I can’t figure out where McInnes stands without watching a bunch of videos I have no desire to sit through. For all I know, he has been completely mischaracterized, just as President Trump has. I’m against what the press SAYS he is, but then I’m also a Trump supporter who is against what the press says Trump is.

I’m also against pride of any type, so I’m not crazy about his the name the Proud Boys. It supposedly comes from a Disney song McInnes hates, so I don’t know if the Proud Boys are proud or just sarcastic.

It’s sad that I can’t depend on the press to tell me anything without a ton of independent research and debunking.

If McInnes is a white supremacist, he must be completely incompetent, or maybe he needs remedial training. He married an American Indian, so he is an utter failure at perpetuating pure Caucasian genes. I mean an actual Indian, not a person who falsely claimed to be an Indian in order to get affirmative action. His three kids are not white. Each one has about 500 times as much Indian blood as Elizabeth Warren and infinity times as much as Ward Churchill, the briefly famous non-Indian plagiarist artist. I don’t think it’s possible for a true white supremacist to marry a non-white and deliberately produce exclusively non-white children. Even if such a person seriously thought he was a white supremacist, he would be a complete hypocrite unworthy of being taken seriously.

If we reach a point where Christians in name only come to represent us, and they’re out there in large numbers, battling Antifa with sticks and bottles, then whatever useful reputation real Christians have will be completely shot. There is no significant difference between a Satan worshiper in a black mask and a hypocritical person who behaves just like him and pretends to worship Jesus.

For whoever may be monitoring my site, I’ll say I’m against political violence. I own guns, but for the most part, they’re for my personal enjoyment, and the older I get, the more I think I would be inclined to let a leftist mob kill me than shoot in self defense. I get better at shooting, and I get better equipped, and this makes me potentially more dangerous, but I don’t love this tawdry life so much I want to squabble over it and marry myself to it in a deep and lasting way.

I would probably shoot to protect others. I have to admit that.

It’s disconcerting to see Democrats blame Trump for the bombs, claiming he set the tone for the attacks. Maxine Waters, a sick individual who is remembered for encouraging deadly riots, has urged people to violate the law and put conservatives in physical danger. Leftists routinely celebrate violence and harassment toward conservatives and their families, and they have developed an official policy of attacking conservatives and the police at events. All this is true, yet somehow, Trump is the problem.

Trump said something silly, praising a disgraceful politician who battered a reporter, and he has encouraged people to take action against a couple of violent protesters at his rallies, but his remarks are insignificant compared to the growing tidal wave of leftist violence.

The bomber will probably be exposed. I hope it’s not a conservative.
