Convenient Scapegoats

Leftists strike again

In the economic dust bowl age of Obama, many homeowners who can't get mortgage relief are struggling to keep up with the payments and stay out of foreclosure.

It stands to reason then, that some homeowners who can't find buyers for their homes are devising some clever schemes to unload their property and get rid of the payments. In the old days, a gasoline can and a match often did the trick. But since forensic arson detection is much more advanced these days, burning down the house isn't a wise choice anymore. 

So instead, three people that live (or lived) in Indianapolis, In. came up with a different scheme to get rid of their expensive house--they would blow it up. They decided to tamper with the gas lines and let the house fill up with gas for several hours before a programmed microwave would engage and blow the place into the sky.

The plan not only worked; it worked too well. The house not only blew up, it also blew up the house next door and set fire to several other houses in the neighborhood. While the scheming homeowners were conveniently elsewhere when the explosion took place, their next door neighbors weren't and they died when the blast leveled their home. Twelve other neighbors were injured in the explosion and the property damage was estimated at $4 million.

I mention this only because fallen, selfish and sinful human beings who reject God and His transcendent moral laws, will stop at practically nothing in their quest to commit mayhem and murder. While the Indianapolis homeowners certainly didn't intend to harm anyone, their selfish actions killed two people, injured many others and destroyed several homes and property of innocent people.

Last week, a crazed gunman named Adam Lanza went on a rampage at the Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Ct. killing 20 children and six adults. And though Lanza was a product of a godless and immoral generation, raised on violence and depravity that he obtained from the internet and video games, the NRA (National Rifle Association) was conveniently blamed for the carnage. We're told by leftists that the NRA's promotion of guns encourages people such as Lanza to go out and commit mass murder.

Since leftists don't believe in God, they deny the presence of evil. Instead, when tragedies such as Sandy Hook occur, they blame them on a host of social pathologies such as economic deprivation, unemployment, racism, religious intolerance, guns etc. They conveniently ignore the fact that many of their own policies have created the evil climate from which wicked people such as Adam Lanza have emerged. 

It's Hollywood leftists that produce many of the violent movies that glorify murder, guns, drugs, sexual immorality, the inner-city "Gangsta" culture and other social ills. It's leftists that control the record companies that produce the music and videos that glorify violence. And it's leftists that own the video game companies that produce the evil, satanic shooter and slasher games that influence young people to commit violence.

But it's always easy to blame the NRA because gun-owners are viewed as ignorant morons "who cling to their guns and religion" (Barack Obama, 2008) when times are tough. You can take away the guns, but you can't take away the evil. And you certainly can't take away the evil when you don't even believe in it.

Another mass murder occurred last week that got far less attention than the Sandy Hook massacre. In China, where guns are outlawed, a man went berserk at a primary school and knifed 22 children to death. Evil people don't need guns to commit mass murder. 

After Indianapolis--who knows? Maybe leftists will seek to regulate microwave ovens in homes with natural gas. In their never ending quest to create a godless social utopia on earth, leftists will think of many things. Except God, of course.
