Sometimes it takes staring evil in the face to appreciate how impotent and clueless Democrats and progressives truly are.
And the Islamic death cult of Boko Haram is about as close to objectively incomprehensible demonic evil as you’re likely to see in our world today.
For several years now, Boko Haram has been busy trying to eradicate Christians in Nigeria, killing thousands by burning them alive in churches, kidnapping schoolgirls and forcing them into a form of sex slavery they call “marriage” and terrorizing all those who do not acquiesce to their al-Qaida-style form of Islamic Shariah law.
While a few news organizations, like WND, have been reporting on the atrocities of Boko Haram for a long time, only recently have the horrific scorched-earth campaigns of the group captured the imagination of the U.S. news media and their masters in the Washington political culture.
How have leading Democrats and progressives reacted to the obscenely malevolent actions of these vicious, depraved, malignant and beastly terrorists from hell?
While Hillary Clinton and MoveOn.org spent years pleading and preventing Boko Haram from even being listed by the U.S. State Department as terrorists, arguing that to do so would only raise its visibility and fundraising ability, now they have come to think about the group and describe it in terms usually reserved for Republicans.
Take John Kerry’s recent epiphany, for instance.
“They don’t offer anything except violence,” he said. “They don’t offer a health care plan. They don’t offer schools. They don’t tell you how to build a nation. They don’t talk about how they will provide jobs. They just tell people, ‘You have to behave the way we tell you to,’ and they will punish you if you don’t.”
I suppose the take away from this statement is that kidnapping and raping schoolgirls and burning Christians alive would be understandable and acceptable if it were part of a plan to build a nation that would offer universal health care, compulsory state education and unfulfilled promises to provide jobs.
What else can we conclude?
These are his words – and they shed real light on the way the so-called progressive mindset works.
Genocidal murder and mass rape campaigns are not to them the darkest form of evil in the world. Rather, the worst sins are failing to elevate the state to a position of god – specifically the god of jobs, health care and education.
Do you get it?
Kerry didn’t decry Boko Haram as genocidal women-haters and bigots. That kind of language is reserved for his description of Republicans. He didn’t point out what they are doing on a massive scale – murdering, looting, raping the innocent and helpless. What he did was point out their real crimes in language his progressive followers could understand:
- They don’t provide health care.
- They don’t offer schools.
- They don’t talk about how to provide jobs.
I’m particularly moved by that last one. In other words, it’s not actually providing jobs that’s important. It’s talking about providing them. Does that sound familiar? Nobody talks more about providing jobs than the administration in which Kerry works. They don’t actually encourage the creation of jobs by improving economic conditions that lead to hiring, but they do talk about jobs endlessly. That’s apparently what counts.
Nobody talks more about jobs than progressives. But how many jobs do they actually create? Instead, they trash employers. They trash entrepreneurs. They’re at war with small businesses through regulations and taxes and mandates. But you would never know how much they do to destroy jobs because they’re always talking about creating them.
Kerry wants you to know he’s generally upset about Boko Haram. It’s one thing to murder every non-Muslim who gets in your way. It’s one thing to kidnap hundreds of little girls and sell them into sex slavery. But, apparently, Kerry just figured out that Boko Haram doesn’t have a health-care plan that qualifies under Obamacare standards. Apparently, Boko Haram doesn’t have an education system compliant with the goals of Common Core. Apparently, Boko Haram is not pushing a socialist jobs program in Nigeria. So now Boko Haram has Kerry’s attention.
It is now officially an enemy of the Obama administration and progressives everywhere.
It reminds me of what happened after 9/11. In late 2002, Sen. Patty Murray, D-Wash., explained the appeal of Osama bin Laden.
“We’ve got to ask, why is this man so popular around the world?” she pondered. “Why are people so supportive of him in many countries that are riddled with poverty?” Murray explained that bin Laden had been “out in these countries for decades, building schools, building roads, building infrastructure, building day care facilities, building health-care facilities, and the people are extremely grateful. We haven’t done that.”
Shortly afterward, Murray was rewarded with a leadership position in the Democrat-controlled Senate.
Did she really believe al-Qaida was building day-care facilities?
I don’t know. Maybe she did, maybe she didn’t. But the point is that she was exploiting the threat of al-Qaida to score political points for progressive at home. That’s just what Kerry is doing, too.
These people are shameless. Not only are they inveterate liars, but they have no fixed view of right and wrong. Everything is relative to their own quest for complete power and the vanquishing of their own political enemies. And their enemies are not Boko Haram and al-Qaida. They are you and me and anyone else who would stand in their way or oppose their agenda.
