Four hours after a bomb blast ripped through the crowd at an Arianna Grande concert in Manchester, England, 19 people are reportedly dead and at least 50 injured. Police still have not speculated on a motive, but the pop singer attracts a very young female audience, and there are reports that children as young as 6 may be among the victims.
Maria Jimena Rico Montero and her girlfriend Shaza Ismail are alive, and reportedly being detained in Turkey, after the London couple got an unexpected lesson in Islamic culture. Ms. Ismail’s Egyptian-born father was determined to break up his daughter’s lesbian relationship, so he told her that her mother was seriously ill in Dubai. Did you know that homosexuality is a crime punishable by death in the United Arab Emirates? Neither did Ms. Ismail, until she and her Argentine-born girlfriend arrived in Dubai. After learning that she had been deceived — her mother isn’t sick — Ms. Ismail and her girlfriend then booked a return trip to England via Tblisi, in the former Soviet republic of Georgia. However, Ms. Ismail’s father followed them there, where he reportedly tore up his daughter’s visa and stole both her and her girlfriend’s passports. They contacted a friend in London, who booked a hotel for them in Istanbul, which they were expected to reach after a cross-country bus ride. When the couple didn’t show up in Istanbul on schedule, fears for their safety made international headlines (“Lesbian couple vanish after father ‘tricked’ them into flying to Middle East”) but now they have been found, alive, after being “arrested for having no passports and were being held by Turkish authorities ahead of their deportation.”
What have we learned from this story? First, if you’re gay, don’t ever go to Dubai — or anywhere else in the Islamic world. Buy yourself an atlas and draw a big red “X” on every Muslim country on the map.
Second, maybe you should have a serious conversation with your liberal friends about immigration policy. It is often the case that people who immigrate to prosperous Western democracies believe that they can (and should) bring with them the customs of their native lands. In Detroit, for example, three people — Dr. Jumana Nagarwala, Dr. Fakhruddin Attar, and Attar’s wife, Farida — have been indicted by a grand jury on charges related to performing female genital mutilation on little girls. Perhaps some of your friends don’t like a certain politician whose policies are aimed at preventing the United States from being destroyed by a tsunami of immigration, but how much Third World savagery are you willing to endure for the sake of your liberal principles?
Third, let’s talk about the definition of “homophobia.” In recent years, liberals seem to have decided that we are guilty of “homophobia” if we either (a) express any negative opinion about gay people, or (b) oppose any LGBT-related policy advocated by the Democrat Party. One of the most basic principles of a free society, however, is the right to your own opinion and especially to express your opinion about public policy. Yet our liberal friends would have us believe that anyone who quotes Justice Scalia’s dissent in Lawrence v. Texas, for example, is perpetrating hate speech that justifies censorship, or maybe a violent riot in Berkeley.
A free society cannot survive the extinction of free speech. Nor do I think that “the blessings of liberty,” which our Founding Fathers sought to secure for us through the Constitution, are likely long to endure if Americans abandon our Christian heritage. It was Jesus, after all, who taught the principle of mercy when, confronted with a sinful woman for whom the law prescribed death by stoning, instead saved her from the legal punishment and told her, “go, and sin no more.”
That particular passage is often taught incorrectly as if the lesson was that no one may disapprove of sin, nor even call sin by its right name. Yet how was it, then, that Jesus could instruct the woman to “sin no more”? He taught the scribes and Pharisees that their own hypocrisy made them unfit to impose death on the woman, but certainly this could not be taken to mean that Jesus was endorsing adultery.
Modern liberals, however, have seized upon this Bible story to chastise Christians against being “judgmental” (and never mind, of course, that no modern liberal actually believes the Bible is true). Too many Christians have abandoned the Bible in favor of liberalism, so that the salt has lost its savour and is good for nothing. If there is no such thing as sin — which is the arid moral wilderness towards which liberalism leads — then why the need for repentance? Or why the need for an atoning sacrifice? Ah, but liberalism in theology is as bankrupt as liberalism in politics, you see, so that on the one hand liberals would punish Christian bakers and florists for not providing services to gay weddings, while on the other hand liberals insist America must throw out the welcome mat for Muslims whose religion commands them to murder gay people and Christians alike. But I digress . . .
One of the dishonest tricks of liberalism is to claim that “religious fundamentalism” is all the same, that the Bible-believing Christian is as dangerous, as ISIS or al-Qaeda. This is a falsehood that deceives only fools, but in a country that twice elected Obama president, there is obviously no shortage of fools who can be easily deceived. If anyone wants to know the truth, however, let them read Phyllis Chesler’s 2005 book The Death of Feminism. Ms. Chesler’s credentials as a feminist are impeccable, but in the wake of the 9/11 terrorist attack, she took alarm at how ignorant her fellow feminists are about the menace of what she describes as “Islamic gender apartheid.” As she points out, American feminists have largely been silent about the murder of Theo van Gogh and other Islamic terrorist atrocities in Europe. You could probably survey every student enrolled in university Women’s Studies programs in the U.S. and not find half a dozen who could correctly identify Irshad Manji or Ayaan Hirsi Ali, both of whom are marked for death by Muslim terrorists because they have spoken out about the plight of women under Islamic rule. Go ask those women — or Brigitte Gabriel, author of Because They Hate — if they think “fundamentalist” Baptists and Catholics are as dangerous to women as Islam.
America is a free country because America is a Christian country, and anyone who thinks they can attack Christianity and still preserve “the blessings of liberty” is either evil or a fool, or perhaps an evil fool.
Well, I didn’t plan to preach a sermon when I started writing this post, but the escape of this naive couple from the trap set for them by Ms. Ismail’s father is a latter-day parable, a warning to those in the West who think they can advance “human rights” by destroying Western civilization. Your rhetoric about “human rights” is utterly worthless in those parts of the world where the brutal regime of Islamic sharia law is enforced. If you want to preserve your life and liberty, you may need to reconsider your politics, because modern liberals are never going to summon the courage necessary to stand up to the Islamic menace.
Egypt’s president called for a three-month state of emergency Sunday after at least 43 people were killed and more than 100 more were injured in two Palm Sunday suicide attacks at Coptic Christian churches, each carried out by the ISIS terror group.
Sunday’s first blast happened at St. George Church in the Nile Delta town of Tanta, where at least 27 people were killed and 78 others wounded, officials said.
Television footage showed the inside of the church, where a large number of people gathered around what appeared to be lifeless, bloody bodies covered with papers.
A second explosion – which Egypt’s Interior Ministry says was caused by a suicide bomber who tried to storm St. Mark’s Cathedral in the coastal city of Alexandria — left at least 16 dead, and 41 injured. The attack came just after Pope Tawadros II — leader of the Coptic Orthodox Church of Alexandria — finished services, but aides told local media that he was unharmed.
At least three police officers were killed in the St. Mark’s attack, the ministry told The Associated Press.
Dead Christians is what Islam is means. People peacefully praying on Palm Sunday were slaughtered by followers of a religion of hatred.
Rep. Steve King is the most influential conservative in Iowa and, because of its first-in-the-nation caucuses, Iowa is one of the most influential states in presidential politics. The road to the White House goes through Iowa and, if you’re a Republican, you want Steve King on your side.
It is therefore important to pay attention to the controversy that arose over the weekend when King expressed support for Geert Wilders, who may become the next prime minister of the Netherlands, riding a wave of backlash against immigration from Muslim countries. The Dutch election is Wednesday and, commenting on anti-Wilders protests by Dutch Muslims, King re-tweeted a pro-Wilders message.
What does Steve King mean by “our civilization”? Among other things, this could include representative democracy, limited government, a free economy, the rule of law and the First Amendment. All of these American traditions are indeed imperiled by cultural and demographic trends and, while Mark Steyn did not go so far as to say, “We can’t restore our civilization with somebody else’s babies,” this is really the question raised by the open-borders stance of the Left. If you read the Constitution, you find that our Founding Fathers sought to “secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity.” Americans today — including the descendants of slaves, and the children and grandchildren of immigrants — are the inheritors of that liberty, and we see today many threats to our liberty. On college campuses, the First Amendment is threatened by radical mobs who attack speakers they disagree with, and our economic freedom is imperiled by a national debt now approaching $20 trillion.
People in Iowa appreciate Steve King for his willingness to speak unpopular truths, and if any Republican thinks his pro-Wilders tweet was pushing a bit far against the politically correct limits of acceptable speech, let them make their case. However, the results of the last presidential election indicate that many Americans are waking up to the realities that King was attempting to describe, which are the same realities that Mark Stein was writing about in America Alone. If Wilders’ allegedly “far right” party wins Wednesday’s election, perhaps this will focus further attention on the seriousness of the larger problems that our decadent elite — in politics, in media, in academia — have tried for so long to conceal from the American people. Screeching accusations of “racism” will not solve these problems, and yet the Left really has nothing else to say, and how long can Americans be expected to play along with this charade?
Spain is dying. The total fertility rate — average number of lifetime births per woman — is 1.49 in Spain, and this is nearly 30% below replacement level. In December 2015, demographers noted that Spain had passed a crucial milestone — more deaths than births, a harbinger of population decline. Before a nation dies, it first grows old, and the graying population of Spain creates a heavy burden on the country’s pension and health care system, as there are fewer and fewer younger workers to pay taxes.
What Spain is now facing is demographic winter, and a Spanish businessman named Alejandro Macarrón Larumbe has created an organization called Renacimiento Demografico (Demographic Renaissance) to spread awareness of this looming social problem.
“Demographic winter is an uncomfortable truth for radical feminism,” Macarrón said in an interview with La Contra TV this week. The Google translation of an article about his interview is a bit uneven — e.g., using “majors” where a better translation would be “senior citizens,” and using “bigger” where “older” was intended — but I’ll adjust it a bit and you can still get most of what he was trying to say:
Alejandro Macarrón, director general of the Demographic Renaissance Foundation, gives an interview to La Contra TV in which he describes the causes and consequences of the demographic winter that is living Spain. He defines this situation as a “suicide” of our country since, he says, “we are going to die as a people because we do not want children”.
During the half-hour interview, the director general of the Demographic Renaissance Foundation [says] that the fall in the birth rate in our country will cause a deterioration of pensions, “which will increasingly be worse and more painful to pay for active workers”.
Alejandro warns that movements in favor of euthanasia are going to exert more pressure on our society “because there are more and more [retirees] who are very expensive.” “The [elderly] are going to [become] a great percentage of voters, it is the decisive segment for the vote. When the population is smaller and the people are [older], the economy logically goes down,” he assured. . . .
In addition, Macarrón has denounced that before “the woman worked at home. Most of them now work outside the home and it seems that the one that does not is second, one late. Incentives are now given only to those who work outside the home, and that goes against the birth rate. It is discriminatory, the state must be central.”
“Birth is not only a woman’s thing, it seems that the figure of the father has disappeared, in abortion this is very much. Incentives are being given only to mothers. If we think only of women, it favors the absence of family,” he warned. . . .
Finally, Macarrón has pointed out that this situation “is an uncomfortable truth for radical feminism, which discredits traditional women. Also for the environmentalism, which defends that the human being is the problem, since, the less people, the less pollution.”
If you are fluent in Spanish, you may want to watch the video interview:
(Hat-tip: Pete Da Tech Guy on Gab.) Macarrón’s remarks about women working outside the home and the disappearance of the father’s role in families deserve more explanation. This sounds too much like “back-to-the-kitchen” male chauvinism, but motherhood is not incompatible with wage earning. Anyone who looks at demographic data knows that birth rates are actually higher in working-class families than among the affluent college-educated elite. So the idea that careers and motherhood are an “either/or” choice is a false dilemma. More important factors are the decline of marriage, the delay of childbearing, and the rise of the DINK (double income, no kids) lifestyle among upscale professionals. When divorce and unwed motherhood become commonplace, when young couples are discouraged from marrying, when materialism is promoted in popular culture, when young women are led to believe that postponing motherhood until they are past 30 is a good idea — well, these are core factors in the “demographic winter” Macarrón warns about.
Get me started on this topic, and I could go on for thousands of words, but the crucial question is, what kind of messages are young people getting from parents, from schools, from churches and from media?
While I don’t know what’s on TV in Spain, popular culture in the United States celebrates the illusion of eternal youth, the idea that everybody can be like the cast of Friends or The Big Bang Theory, eschewing the most important responsibilities of adult life, marriage and parenthood. We can laugh at the character of Sheldon Cooper, a brilliant scientist with the temperament of a petulant toddler, but such entertainment has the effect of idealizing a lifestyle of perpetual adolescence. Similar messages are reinforced by many other TV shows and movies, so that young people exposed to this incessant media bombardment develop beliefs and attitudes that are incompatible with becoming the kind of adults who make good husbands and wives, good fathers and mothers. Only if parents recognize that the cultural sewage spewing out of Hollywood is toxic, and do what they can to limit its impact on their children’s belief system, can there be hope to avert demographic winter. Parents must exercise a counter-cultural influence, or else their children will believe the deadly lies that Hollywood is selling. Public schools are doing nothing about this problem, because the schools are part of the problem. Our government education bureaucracy is now run by left-wing “progressives” who are anti-Christian, anti-capitalism, anti-marriage and anti-motherhood. Schools now teach young people that babies are bad, abortion is good and promiscuity is harmless. The public school curriculum systematically attacks Bible-based moral beliefs, and schools employ atheist teachers who ridicule Christianity in their classrooms.
There is a connection between belief and behavior, you see. Parents who allow their children’s beliefs to be scripted by Hollywood (and “educated” by government bureaucrats) should not be surprised when the results are catastrophic not only for their children as individuals, but for society as a whole. More than 15 years ago, Jim Sedlak of the American Life League looked at Europe’s demographic decline and warned:
“The ‘success’ of the population controllers in Europe is now taking its toll,” said Sedlak. “The average number of babies per woman has fallen from 1.95 to 1.65, and there is no end in sight.”
“In order to turn things around, four things are necessary,” Sedlak said. “First, the world has to understand that there is not an overpopulation problem, but a problem of too few children. Second, everyone in our society must accept large families and stop using peer pressure to convince people not to have more children. Third, governments and rich philanthropists must stop giving money to population control programs. Finally, young people getting married have to be thinking of having four or more children.”
“We have one generation to turn things around,” Sedlak said. “After that, it may be too late.”
That one idea — promoting “four or more children” as the ideal family size — struck me at the time as the only possible basis of hope. It just so happened that my wife and I already had four kids then, and we subsequently had two more. Our youngest is now 14, president of her eighth-grade class at a Christian school, in the 99th percentile on standardized tests. Just this morning I overheard her talking to a friend, explaining that when she has children, she wants to homeschool them.
You can’t beat something with nothing.
That is to say, pro-family Christians cannot hope to prevail against the toxic ideas of the Culture of Death — which celebrates abortion, divorce, promiscuity and homosexuality — if we are unwilling to be specific in describing what the pro-life alternative could look like.
When we behold the desperate situation of countries like Spain, which are far down the road toward demographic winter, we ought to understand how important it is that we act now to counteract this evil.
A terror probe has been launched in Paris after a machete-wielding man was shot after trying to attack four soldiers outside the Louvre.
The suspect was shot five times in the stomach and is in a critical condition.
He was shouting ‘Allahu Akbar’ — Arabic for ‘God is the greatest’ — according to the Paris prefect, and reportedly had paint bombs in his backpack.
After being refused entry, he pulled out the weapon and was shot by a soldier, officials have confirmed. A soldier is believed to have suffered a head injury.
US President Donald Trump tweeted following the attack in the French capital: ‘A new radical Islamic terrorist has just attacked in Louvre Museum in Paris. Tourists were locked down. France on edge again. GET SMART U.S.’
“‘Ye shall be as gods’ (Genesis 3:5) was the false promise of Satan’s original lie, and the sinful idea that human beings can defy God, living according to our own beliefs without respect to God’s law, has been a cause of violence and evil in the world ever since.”

Ideas Have Consequences, and it may be that MRA atheism is a non-random factor in their antagonism toward women. Let me point out that I do not consider opposing feminism (i.e., a crypto-Marxist ideology) to be “anti-woman,” nor do I consider it “misogyny” to criticize individual feminists (i.e., the activists who promote this anti-male ideology).
As I’ve explained before, I’m not an MRA, because I don’t believe in the collectivist social-justice concept of group “rights.” Our civilization is breaking down specifically because of this “Us-versus-Them” identity-politics mentality that the Democrat Party encourages. Friends of liberty cannot “win” by playing the game according to the Left’s rulebook. What is necessary, I believe, is to force the Left to defend the premises of their arguments, e.g., their assumption that “equality” is either desirable or possible. (Hayek addressed this in The Mirage of Social Justice.)
Why “religious overtones” in criticizing feminism? Well, feminism’s fanatical support for abortion means that they automatically alienate Catholics, along with all others who share a religious respect for human life. What part of “Thou shalt not kill” do I need to explain here? And feminists also generally advocate sexual immorality, further offending the religious faithful. Therefore, as an opponent of feminism, you will find some of your strongest supporters among Bible-believing women. Anyone would be a fool to attempt fighting feminism without “religious overtones.” Why forsake such a powerful weapon? You do not have to preach a sermon in every argument, but the basic wrongness of feminism is most apparent in the movement’s implacable hostility toward Christianity. (See “The Radical Theology of Feminism,” April 1, 2016.)
Do feminists really believe they can win a war against God? “Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing?” (Psalm 2:1 KJV). The shepherd boy slew the blaspheming Philistine, and the Lord’s anointed will ultimately prevail. “Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man” (Ecclesiastes 12:13 KJV). Selah.
There is evil in the world, and the Reddit commenter scolded me for saying as much, when I quoted Michael Voris’s description of the Women’s March on Washington as a “diabolical” event organized by women who “hate God and cannot tolerate their consciences.” Does anyone doubt this? Well, you’re free to believe what you want to believe, but any Christian who studies feminism cannot help but recognize its satanic nature. (Recall how Samantha Couchoud Field’s embrace of feminism led her to become an advocate of abortion, bisexuality, BDSM, socialism, and witchcraft. Yes, of course, she was at the Women’s March.)
A self-proclaimed “antitheist” was sentenced to life in prison for killing his Christian flatmate over her religion.
The 25-year-old Daniel E. was sentenced to life in prison by a court in Freiburg on Monday for killing his Christian student flatmate last August in a crime ruled to be motivated by hate and disdain.
The 31-year-old victim from Paderborn had first met her killer when she moved into a student flatshare last summer. The young woman was an active member of her parish who wanted to later work for the church.
But Daniel E. vehemently rejected any form of religion, and twice before killing her had tried to start a fight, he told police.
On the day of the murder . . . he stormed into her room and asked her what her stance was on same-sex marriage. When she said that she rejected this kind of marriage, he stabbed her while she sat on her bed, with a knife hidden in his trouser pocket. . . .
“He killed her as a representative of her religion because he could not kill all believers,” the judge said.
He had written about his hatred of religion days beforehand in a “manifesto” found on his computer, along with violent video games and films.
An expert testified that [Daniel E.] had seen Hannibal Lecter from the film The Silence of the Lambs as a role model.
What part of “Thou shall not kill” do I need to explain here? If there is no God, there can be no transcendent moral truth. Feminists justify their evil by denying that there is such a thing as truth, or any kind of moral law. This leads to the “Us-versus-Them” mentality, and thus the Hobbesian war of all against all (bellum omnium contra omnes).
As I have said, we should beware of the sinful idea that “human beings can defy God, living according to our own beliefs without respect to God’s law.” You are free to believe what you wish, and I am free to tell you that you’re wrong. Do you doubt that the Women’s March was satanic in nature? Then obviously you weren’t paying attention. Do you think you’re going to defeat Satan without God’s help? Then you are a fool.
Excuse my “religious overtones,” but I know what evil looks like.
These women are quite literally demon-possessed, servants of Satan, under the control of diabolical forces of darkness.
Do you recognize what she is holding in her right hand? Now, try to imagine the cacophony of demonic voices inside her head that have persuaded this woman that she is “empowered.” While you’re at it, try to imagine what her parents must think of what their daughter has become. What a horror it must be to see your own child embrace the lunatic madness of feminism, and turn herself into such a disgusting spectacle. What feminism has done to that deranged young woman, it seeks to do to our entire country. Is there any public school in America today where the teachers don’t endorse feminism? Are there any professors on college campuses speaking out against this soul-destroying ideology? And if the entire secular education establishment, along with the news media and the entertainment industry, are all promoting feminism, how can any parent hope to save their children from this monstrous evil?
Canada is America’s most dangerous enemy, and not just because of the deranged slut Meghan Murphy. Canada is the Un-America, a country whose national character is warped by a spiteful inferiority complex toward the United States. Oh, “not all Canadians,” some will say, and it’s arguably true that there are a few good Canadians, including Kathy Shaidle and Ezra Levant, but they are the exceptions that prove the rule.
Canada is a lunatic asylum with 35 million inmates, and no one is really surprised when bad things happen in Canada. So when it was reported that there had been an attack on a mosque in Quebec, I was not among those who jumped to the wrong conclusion about this incident. There were reports that the gunman was a Moroccan Muslim, but I just waited for the facts to come out and, yeah, Canadians are dangerous:
The suspect in the deadly attack on a Quebec City mosque was known in the city’s activist circles as an online troll who was inspired by extreme right-wing French nationalists, stood up for U.S. President Donald Trump and was against immigration to Quebec — especially by Muslims. Alexandre Bissonnette, 27, a student at Laval University, grew up on a quiet crescent in the Cap-Rouge suburb of Quebec City and lived in an apartment a few kilometres away.
His online profile and school friendships revealed little interest in extremist politics until last March, when France’s far-right National Front Leader Marine Le Pen visited Quebec City, inspiring Mr. Bissonnette to vocal extreme online activism, according to people who clashed with him starting around this time.
Vincent Boissoneault, a student in international relations at Laval University, knew Mr. Bissonnette from childhood and was friends with him on Facebook. . . .
“I wrote him off as a xenophobe. I didn’t even think of him as totally racist, but he was enthralled by a borderline racist nationalist movement. “It never occurred to me he might be violent,” Mr. Boissoneault added, referring to the hard-line anti-immigration sentiment growing in popularity in Europe and elsewhere.
François Deschamps, an employment counsellor who runs a refugee-support Facebook page, said he immediately recognized Mr. Bissonnette’s photo from his frequent appearances online, including on the page he administers.
“He was someone who made frequent extreme comments in social media denigrating refugees and feminism. It wasn’t outright hate, rather part of this new nationalist conservative identity movement that is more intolerant than hateful.”
Both Mr. Boissoneault and Mr. Deschamps recalled Mr. Bissonnette sharing anti-immigration sentiment, especially toward Muslim refugees making their way to Europe from the war-torn Middle East.
Mr. Bissonnette’s Facebook profile was removed from public view just after 11 a.m. Monday along with his comments on other social-media feeds.
In addition to being a student, Mr. Bissonnette worked in a call centre for Quebec’s blood donation agency, Héma-Québec. . . .
Former classmates from the CEGEP junior college he attended after high school described him as a quiet, unassuming guy who blended in. . . .
Mr. Bissonnette studied political science, Mr. Kingma-Lord said, but seemed more interested in the campus chess club than any kind of ideology. . . .
Acquaintances from Mr. Bissonnette’s earlier years at Les Compagnons-de-Cartier high school in Quebec City say he was introverted, socially awkward and frequently bullied.
OK, you’re a 27-year-old introvert who is still in college, a member of the chess club and, also, Canadian. Your existence has no meaning or purpose, and therefore you commit a senseless act of violence that accomplishes nothing except to give that deranged slut Meghan Murphy an excuse to demonize innocent white guys.
See how this works? Feminists have two standards: One for them, and one for everybody else. You are never permitted to make general statements about women, but the feminist will always use the worst possible example to demonize men generally, and white males in particular.
Here’s a hint for moody Canadian introverts: Stop giving Meghan Murphy excuses to write about her insane hatred of white males. The rest of us are tired of hearing her incessant anti-white-male screeds. If you’re a “quiet, unassuming . . . socially awkward” loser (as most Canadians are) who has no meaning or purpose in life, just go ahead and kill yourself, rather than commit an atrocity that inspires a Meghan Murphy column. Otherwise, just go to your campus chess club meetings and leave it to Americans to do “extreme comments in social media,” because we’re so much better at it, the same way Americans are better at everything else.
For example, what topic do feminists most enjoy writing about? Rape.
Here is a list of rape suspects whose alleged crimes were recently reported as local news: Timothy Wayne McLean Jr. (Durham, N.C.), Marco Antonio Garcia Perez (Highland, Calif.), Allen Mays (Lincoln Parrish, La.), Arturo Bedolla (Memphis, Tenn.), Toney Moore (Harlan, Ky.), Kamai Clerveaux (Miami, Fla.), Rafael Alfredo Pabon (Cabarrus County, N.C.), Jerome Booze (Decatur, Ga.), Carlos Reyes (Nashville, Tenn.), Anthony Thornton (Port Huron, Mich.), Akeem Anthony Butts (Albany, N.Y.) and Deadrick T. North (Knoxville, Tenn.). Feminists constantly rant about “rape culture,” but have any of those criminal suspects been mentioned in any feminist blogs or columns? No. And do I need to explain why none of these alleged rapes have been mentioned by Meghan Murphy, Amanda Marcotte, Jessica Valenti, et al.? No. You can figure it out.
If you want to annoy feminist, simply focus on facts that contradict feminist ideology — and there are so many facts to choose from!
Alabama woman accused of providing daughter for sex
Authorities say they’ve arrested an Alabama woman accused of repeatedly taking her young daughter to a motel so a man could have sex with the child.
Officials say Amy Floyd Morgan of Blount County is charged with human trafficking and conspiring to commit sexual abuse of a child younger than 12. She was arrested Wednesday.
AL.com reports authorities say Morgan took money for more than a year from 44-year-old Rama Raji Erramraju so he could have sexual contact with Morgan’s young daughter. The man is also charged.
What are the chances that any feminist will mention this crime? Zero. Therefore, start asking feminists why they don’t mention such crimes.
This is the real secret of how to defeat the Left. Stop letting them decide what the subject of discussion will be and, when a big news story breaks, don’t let the Left decide which facts are relevant. I’ve explained before how feminists exploit atrocity narratives by taking advantage of the Law of Large Numbers. There are more than 320 million people in the United States, so it’s easy to find examples of almost anything. People having sex with dogs? Sure — if you want to turn bestiality into a major national issue, there’s plenty of headline news out there. Feminists manufacture their anti-male propaganda by focusing attention on incidents that fit their ideological biases about “white male power . . . supported by capitalism, imperialism, colonialism, patriarchy,” to quote Meghan Murphy. There is a specific narrative that feminists seek to promote, and this always involves a highly selective treatment of facts.
Meghan Murphy evidently wants her readers to believe that, because Alexandre Bissonnette is a white male who shot and killed six people in Quebec, therefore all white males should be considered dangerous. Well, this month, more than 50 people in Chicago have been shot to death, and more than 250 other people were wounded by gunfire. The 2016 death toll in Chicago was nearly 800 gunshot fatalities. If the atrocity in Quebec justifies fear and hatred of white males, as Meghan Murphy seems to believe, then couldn’t we examine the demographics of crime in Chicago — who is shooting whom? — and engage in a similar kind of guilt-by-association campaign to promote fear and hatred? We could, but we don’t. Instead, whenever there’s a shooting somewhere that the Left wants to turn into a propaganda narrative, we just mention the routine violence Chicago and ask, “What’s your point?”
Yonatan Monrroy-Madrid, 19, was ordered held in lieu of $300,000 bail in a hearing before Cook County Judge Maria Kuriakos Ciesil, according to prosecutors and court records. Monrroy-Madrid is charged in the death of a 57-year-old man who was killed when his car was hit by Monrroy-Madrid’s in the 400 block of North Ashland Avenue on Saturday . . .
The crash also injured a 19-year-old woman and a 23-year-old man who were in the back seat of the 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee that Monrroy-Madrid was driving when he hit the 57-year-old’s 2004 Toyota Camry, according to prosecutors and police. . . .
Saturday afternoon, Monrroy-Madrid was driving at high speeds around the West Side, making quick turns onto various streets and blowing through stop lights and stop signs . . . The crash threw the woman passenger out of the Jeep and killed the driver of the Camry . . .
Monrroy-Madrid and his passengers were taken to Stroger Hospital, according to police. At the hospital, a blood draw indicated his blood-alcohol level was .24 percent—three times the legal limit of .08, prosecutors said.
See? They don’t even need guns to kill people in Chicago and, call it a hunch, but I doubt Yonatan Monrroy-Madrid voted for Trump.
Never let the liberal rock-throwers forget that they live in glass houses. Do not sit back and play defense against the insulting propaganda claims promoted by people like Meghan Murphy. No, counter-attack — seize the strategic initiative, identify their vulnerabilities, strike suddenly with overwhelming rhetorical force, and keep up the fight until you have completely routed and demoralized your antagonist.
“[T]he men responsible for not only violence against women, but mass shootings, often have a history of misogyny — yet hating women never seems to constitute a red flag until its too late. If we did take men’s racism and misogyny seriously as warning signs of violence, we would, of course, have to ban Trump himself from the country he now presides over.”
— Meghan Murphy, Jan. 30, 2017
How does an atrocity perpetrated by a Canadian loser like Alexandre Bissonnette, give Meghan Murphy an excuse to demonize America, whereas Americans are not allowed to believe that Muslims flying jetliners into the World Trade Center proved something about Islam?
Mohamed Atta didn’t hate America more than Meghan Murphy hates America. Every morning, she wakes up hating America, and when she goes to sleep at night, she dreams anti-American dreams. Meghan Murphy hates all men, but she hates American men most of all, because American men are successful and happy, while Meghan Murphy lives in a miserable failure called “Canada.” They’re not even a real country anyway.
