This week’s
Right Jabs edition is a more somber, reverent one. One tiny town in America has been stricken by
the unimaginable.
As more
information emerges about the young man who wrought such evil and the heroes
who fought back against him, we as a nation, reflect with grief and deepest
sorrow the lives left behind that have been forever changed.
There are many
reasons to despise the current American media.
For once,
think of Newtown, the town where Christmas will never be the same. A place
where school will never hold the same sense of security for the children or
their families, Parents in Newtown will never drop their children off at the
school doors again without telling them how much they love them. So spare us all for a decent interval the
long distance shibboleths of gun control, the amateur psychoanalysis, the
morbid and soul-killing paparazzi shots of parents learning for the first time
of the slaughter of their children. Let's
have a decent silence to contemplate the eternal nature of evil and the tragic
loss we all feel.
He could also
take pleasure in giving his wife the
best Christmas present ever.
…the
sixties are now complete: A president supported by an ex-Weatherman and the
New Black Panthers might as well have a Winter Soldier in his
cabinet for the complete Radical Chic Meets Geritol experience. If only Leonard
Bernstein was still around to savor the moment.
Where
do you get your pizza now, liberals?
A
cliff is no place to look shy, timid or lost.
Beneath the
expressions of grief, sorrow and disbelief over the Connecticut school massacre
lies
an uneasy truth in Washington: over
the last few years the Obama administration and Congress quietly let federal
funding for several key school security programs lapse in the name of budget
savings.
The
great ship Truth and Reality is sinking and fast, and it’s imperative that
we RIGHT the ship before it’s too late.
So as a
nation, we've made the decision to guard our money with armed security
officers. At the same time, when Americans send their children to school,
what guards them? School secretaries. Video cameras. Metal
detectors. Gun-Free zones. In
other words, nothing. If
this country really loves its kids, we'd better start protecting them at least
as well as we protect our money.
If Democrats
really want to go down this road, perhaps they should practice what they
preach. In 2011, Gallup did a survey of self-reported gun ownership in the
U.S. What
did they find?
Holy Innocents
by Christina
Georgina Rossetti
Sleep, little Baby, sleep,
The holy Angels love thee,
And guard thy bed, and keep
A blessed watch above thee.
No spirit can come near
Nor evil beast to harm thee:
Sleep, Sweet, devoid of fear
Where nothing need alarm thee.
The Love which doth not sleep,
The eternal arms around thee:
The shepherd of the sheep
In perfect love has found thee.
Sleep through the holy night,
Christ-kept from snare and sorrow,
Until thou wake to light
And love and warmth to-morrow.
