When Politicians Exonerate Chilling Brutality and Anarchy

France is being destroyed internally by arson, the murder of citizens, and the open defiance of all law, order, and moral restraint. But the greater destructive force is cowardly and amoral politicians who appease and excuse the criminals.

Opposition leader Marine LePen has warned about this coming national suicide for two decades. But only now are middle class citizens paying serious attention to her position. Some predict she will be the next, and possibly last, French president. Three days ago she addressed the nation. One excerpt:

"In a republic that respects itself, no event, no matter how dramatic, no cause, no matter how emotional can legitimize an anarchy that wants to make itself permanent, with attacks against the police and firefighters, the sackings of town halls, the burning of schools or the looting of shops.

Polarized politicians and unions who have taken on the responsibility of morally exonerating these criminal acts have likewise come out of the government; they will carry an indelible responsibility before the nation and history."

— Prosecution and extradition of individuals affiliated with ‘hostile media’ to Iran

In February, America cut off negotiations just prior to a sudden missile barrage. Will that happen again? The world is watching the countdown.

Difficulty is Not Incompatibility

Are people of the twenty-first century too messed up to love one another, sacrifice for one another, or to mature in the presence of difficulty?

For modern marriages, three decades of therapeutic counselling trends are bearing destructive fruit. It's an ongoing revolt against maturity. Sanctification is today a foreign concept, even in the Evangelical world.

What do people count as relational wisdom today? Fighting for your own personal "rights"...and winning in the process. Perfecting clever snarkiness. Outdoing one another in selfishness. Juxtaposing personal dreams and ambitions against another's personal dreams and ambitions.

The way forward when life together gets unbearable? Grumble to a "counselor." Or, if you're tech-savvy, crowd source your therapy. Pour out all your grudges and aversions on the internet, in the guise of "getting a little perspective" [and advice from the mob.]
