Babies being shot to death was about the worst horror of the many individual tragedies at the assassination scene at the First Baptist Church in Sutherland Springs, Texas, shortly after Halloween.
The gunman shot when the little ones cried in the pews, reports said.
Ending any of the defenseless lives attending Sunday worship on November 5 was appallingly sad.
Still, as is usually the case when a very small youngster is killed, people will shed an extra tear and mourn, “They had their entire earthly lives in front of them. Everything they had to live for was just snatched away.”
Reporting on “how bad it was” at the church, the Houston Chronicle quoted one of the shocked first responders that the assassin “shot kids to the point of mutilation.” No one needed to see pictures of their mangled bodies to understand how vile the gunman was.
But it wasn’t only born kiddies who were terminated.
CNN reported on November 8 that in addition to the others killed, one was “an unborn child.”
The Washington Post on November 6 posted that one victim was “an unborn child.”
An MSNBC reporter on November 7 referred three times to the death of an “unborn child” among the victims, before slipping back into form by saying “or a fetus, if you will.”
Just two nights after the church massacre, dominant news media were thrilled to death with the November 7 election victories of radical pro-abortion Democrats in Virginia and New Jersey, although media reporting during their campaign races would prefer to portray them as “moderates” or “progressives” whose cruel abortion stands were minimized, lest voters be scared away.
In addition to unsuspecting women’s welfare being lacerated at abortion clinics, one of the emotionally harrowing aspects for pro-lifers praying out on those sidewalks is they know that thousands of times daily around the nation, innocent babies’ entire futures are being thrown in the trash. Callous mutilation kills them.
Radical, unrestricted abortion is one of the dearest loves of dominant knee-jerk media. Editors’ and reporters’ heads explode at the very idea of restricting this ceaseless slaughter. They mock and censor any reference to an “unborn child” being “mangled” by abortion and her future life destroyed — except when their mask slips in reporting such pathos as Sutherland Springs.
Our condemning the Texas assassin as “untrustworthy” would hardly begin to describe his character. Although “vile” and “monstrous” are words that sound more harshly judgmental than forgivingly Christian, one could understand why such denunciation could be spoken.
However, dominant media for decades have propagandized with their lies and tricks to promote and encourage the mangling of many millions more innocent victims than the deranged gunman ever could have destroyed, unless he got his arms around some nuclear weapons. The abominable New York Times leads this despicable parade.
Is it any wonder that pro-lifers look askance at unhinged media who fancy that their fantasies must replace reality? And — if one could read their consciences — whose vile media propaganda might be endangering their own heavenly salvation.
Seeing these plainly partisan media all but dancing in the streets the night of November 7 over victories by some pro-abortion political fanatics was about as harrowing as praying on the sidewalks as abortionists’ knives slash away babies’ entire futures.
These media’s unrelenting hysteria against contrarian Donald Trump also is a reminder of how comfortable they had become with feelings of entitlement, dictating how society must hop along to their tune. Year after year, they’ve contrived twisted, false narratives, then lashed out with their electronic semaphores and oceans of ink at anyone who dared oppose them.
Meanwhile, congressional Republicans’ dismal performance thus far this year discouraged some November turnout by voters who had been eager in 2016 to award the GOP with both national executive and legislative control. And what had voters gotten as a result?
“Maverick” Sen. John McCain sabotaged an Obamacare repeal after falsely campaigning last year that he’d lead the fight against it. Other Republicans of McCain’s obstinate breed joined in doing all they could to thwart Trump’s agenda, fondly hoping for the day when they could resume their lame capitulations to a Democratic majority and its media allies.
Although tax reform would seem to be an easy topic for the political party reputed to be the champion of business, achieving that goal, too, seemed questionable as weeks passed.
Not wanting to be burned at the stake by the high priests of media orthodoxy, many public figures find it easier to compromise their consciences in exchange for a truce, or even receive praise if they surrender enough, like open-borders globalist McCain.
Even former Democratic President Jimmy Carter, surely no Tea Partier, said that Trump was getting rougher treatment by media than any other president he knows about, with their feeling free to make any sort of accusation they pleased without hesitation.
Indeed, it was comical to see such media boast over polls saying Trump wasn’t very popular after their so-called journalists devoted every waking minute to showering the public with poison about what a monster Trump is.
If Trump were to sneeze, The Washington Post would headline, “Diseased Trump spreads plague.” Doubt it? Not if you take a look any day of the week at the Post’s fake-news site. The same site that coddled and goggled over radical leftist and abortion fanatic Barack Obama. Same goes for other dominant media sites.
On November 8 national radio talk host Rush Limbaugh broadcast pundits’ confident predictions before Trump’s presidential victory last November that the Manhattan multibillionaire was certain to lose the election, that Democratic foe Hillary Clinton would crush him in a landslide.
Limbaugh was demonstrating how clueless the so-called experts were, even as they confidently asserted their views now about Democratic victories in Virginia and New Jersey.
Leftist commentators and their Democratic Party colleagues were absolutely desperate for some victories after Republicans continued to win special congressional elections earlier this year, even though pundits hollered their opposition.
To see media celebrating liberal New Jersey reverting to form by electing a liberal Democratic governor, after outgoing Republican Gov. Chris Christie frittered away his surprising wins there, showed what agony dominant media were in to find some cheer.
Newark Star-Ledger columnist Paul Mulshine accurately noted on November 7 that Christie had been more focused on himself than helping fellow Republicans. Not much of a way to leave a legacy.
Meanwhile, conservative national radio talk host Mark Levin reminded listeners on November 7 and 8 of the large majority control that Republicans maintain with state capitols and governorships.
And who could forget that none other than Trump was able to win supposedly impossible states including Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin last year after pundits concluded they were beyond his grasp. So who knows more about exercising an outreach? Trump? Or his Never Trump foes like GOP senators Jeff Flake (Ariz.) and Bob Corker (Tenn.), who dare not run next year for re-election?
As for wealthy Republican lobbyist Ed Gillespie losing the Virginia governor’s race to Democrat pro-abortion fanatic Ralph Northam by nearly nine points, the obvious lesson once again is that GOP “moderates” usually come up losers, no matter how loudly they’re proclaimed to be the only possible hope to beat Democrats.
Levin recalled that truly conservative Republican Ken Cuccinelli simply was written off by the GOP establishment when he ran for Virginia governor four years ago, but Cuccinelli came far closer to beating his Democratic foe — 2.5 percent — than Gillespie did just now. The post-election lament in 2013 was that Cuccinelli could have won if he’d had the necessary backing.
Also, loser Gillespie hardly welcomed the reputation of being a Trump supporter. He must have forgotten that the GOP could have two more U.S. senators in office today if New Hampshire’s Kelly Ayotte and Nevada’s Joe Heck had stood strong for Trump in 2016 instead of distancing themselves and going down to defeat. Ayotte had become a pal of McCain’s.
Cuccinelli, now the president of the Senate Conservatives Fund lobbying organization, emailed on November 8 that Virginia Democrats’ base “was very motivated by anger” to strike out at Trump and Republicans, while “the GOP voter base is relatively demoralized by the failure of Republicans to deliver on their most basic promises (especially Obamacare repeal).”
The result, Cuccinelli said, was that turnout “exploded in the most liberal areas,” but “was flat in the areas Republicans count on.”
The lesson, he said, was: “If congressional Republicans don’t deliver on their promises, Republican candidates up and down the ballot are in big trouble because only one side will be motivated when it comes time to vote, and it won’t be Republican voters.”
The Transgender Victory
Conservative Republican political consultant Constantin Querard told The Wanderer on November 8: “Virginia is a blue state, so it is easy to read too much into the results there. At the same time, it was evident that Democrat turnout was far greater than Republican turnout, and that should not be ignored by a president who is creating a drag and by a Congress whose inaction and failure to produce any results is damaging party morale and enthusiasm.
“If the president and Congress don’t start delivering soon on some issues, they will be treated very harshly by the voters in 2018,” said Querard, who headed the Arizona presidential campaign of Sen. Ted Cruz, of Texas, in 2016.
“As far as Jersey goes,” Querard added, “Christie’s performance has gutted the GOP there. It will be quite some time before Republicans will be able to compete again. They need to focus on recruiting and promoting Republicans who can get actual results and wait for the inevitable big-state Democrat failure to occur. They will get another chance in the next six to 10 years, and they need to be ready to take advantage of it.”
Conservative Catholic blogger Mary Ann Kreitzer in Virginia told The Wanderer on November 8: “Well, we’re in the stewpot here, or maybe I should say the chamber pot. Everyone I voted for lost. Gillespie has been a loser in most of his campaigns. He’s an establishment wonk and I’m sure that contributed to his loss.”
She pointed to her blog the same day, Les Femmes — The Truth, where she wrote in part that “the majority of voters chose self-interest over the common good, I suppose. Virginia’s unions want more money with less work. The liberals want more license with fewer responsibilities. The Trump-haters hate all Republicans and want them and their supporters punished.
“Democrats think big government is the savior of the world,” she continued, “and want leaders who will feed them, coddle them, protect them by snatching all the guns, and give them ‘free’ iPhones, housing, college, etc. The feminists want baby-killing unhampered by any laws including those that protect mothers from money-hungry butchers. You get the picture.”
As for transgendered Democrat Danica Roem defeating conservative GOP incumbent Bob Marshall for the state’s House of Delegates, Kreitzer told The Wanderer: “I think it was the carpetbagger effect. Roem got buckets of money and boots on the ground from the LGBTQ crowd. Only 3 percent of his donations came from the district, compared to 37 percent for Bob, and he out-fund-raised something like five to one. It’s a sad day for Virginia.”
Still, Kreitzer blogged, the Bible provides a message of hope: “So cling to the knowledge that we serve a good God who loves us. Amos, after an unrelentingly dismal prophecy against Israel and the punishment (he was driven out by the king because of it), assures the people of God’s love. It’s a message of great hope, for us as well as them.”
