America – as we all know, because progressives and leftists tell us all the time – is a vile and filthy country. It routinely abuses women, ignores children, tramples on the dreams of its minorities, and uses its weakest and most vulnerable members in immoral and degenerate ways. After that, it denies them justice and sets them out at the curb to be hauled away with the trash. "The entire nation is guilty!" they cry.
But a funny thing happened on the yellow brick road along which liberals have dragged America down into Shameville. Harvey Weinstein hiked his miniskirt up a bit too far while mounting his high horse. Suddenly, the entire nation saw his "nakedness and shame," as God so aptly puts it.
Since then the leftist skirt-lifting has spread to politicians, academics and journalists, all struggling to get back up on their high horses. You can be very sure the exposure has only begun, and the view will only get uglier. Why?
America's most prominent leftist progressives seem to have big wallets and purses, or at least big jaws that they flap to cover up their "nakedness and shame." The only America they know is the one where they live and carry on in exactly the way they accuse America as a whole of doing.
You see, Harvey Weinstein wasn't mounting a donkey to ride into Jerusalem. He was mounting a scapegoat called America, to ride out into the wilderness, where both he and the scapegoat were to die in the desert of non-coastal America, a sacrificial offering to the morally-fluid gods of liberalism.
Those who have used others to satisfy their own lust for sex and power over another bear true moral guilt for the harm they have caused those they have used. In the minds of big-name predators abusing the weak and vulnerable, easy access to abortion was a godsend – straight from the pit. To the victim's initial sense of violation, the abuser was able to add guilt for the murder of her unborn child. No paternity test. No child support. Perfect.
Sex procured by power over others, with money to buy absolution, are the Holy Grail lusted after in big liberal cities like Washington, D.C., with its politicians and bureaucrats, New York City with its big media and financial empires, and San Francisco with its Silicon Valley billionaires and the culture they have created at their firms, so closely aligned with government now destroying that once-great city and state.
And yet … the self knows the truth. That is the essence of being human. The self knows when we have shamefully mistreated others for our own benefit, because the God who created us made us that way. Liberal guilt is two-fold: Both to the persons they have so despicably used, and to the God whom they so foolishly believe does not exist.
How America became the left's scapegoat
"Projection" in the psychological sense is defined as "the unconscious transfer of one's own desires or emotions to another person: we protect the self by a number of defense mechanisms, including repression and projection."
If we ask liberals, leftists, progressives, socialists, communists and other hate-America-firsters, they often tell us they detest America because of the way it treats the most vulnerable among us (with "vulnerable" a fluid definition shaped by their cause-of-the-day). They do this from their ivory towers, elected offices, entertainment studios and big-media mouthpieces.
But it's a lie. It's a lie they invented to save themselves. They hate America because they have projected their own behavior, motivated by sex, power and greed, onto the very nation they inhabit and all the people living therein. In so doing, they exonerate themselves and make their victims simply one more victim of America itself.
It's often said that payback is a b--ch. With God dealing the cards at the victimhood poker table, payback is going to be a lot worse than commonly assumed. The scapegoat wandered out of Hollywood with Harvey strapped on its back, but it didn't go off into the desert and die. Now it's meandering around the East Coast. Apparently, God has rejected the left's scapegoat sacrifice. He's looking for something more.
America's self-anointed virtue-hustlers have two choices. They can acknowledge their guilt before those they have harmed and make restitution, and their guilt before the God who gave them the conscience they have tried to drug into submission.
Or they can settle in at the poker table, push their chips forward and call for another hand to be dealt – knowing full well that the God of the Universe is dealing the cards, and each hand is sure only to get worse. The institutions that tolerated this behavior and covered it up will themselves be brought down.
