Newton’s Third Law says that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. It seems that the lunatic fringe of Donald Trump’s America denies that law. The extremists of the right, will let no incident slide by, that they do not blame on some imaginary left-wing cause, against which they must take up arms.
For quite some time, Babel-on-the-Bay has been receiving e-mail releases from pro-life and pro-republican organizations railing against the “out-of-control” extremists of the left. While I have been wondering when these supposedly ‘out-of-control’ democrats might respond, I have continued to make good use of the computer’s delete capability.
But I took the time to read one of these diatribes the other day and I was appalled that anyone could write such unmitigated crap. This missive, of some 900 words, was supposedly written by a Jerry McGlothlin and while he does not identify his organization, he tells me I am a special guest. Since I do not wish to communicate with this person and what might be a sick mind, he should be advised that a blog is not a logical recipient of news or even anti-news releases. Blogs deal in personal experience. They reflect the opinions of the writer. And, in my opinion, this gentleman might need mental health help.
I have never heard of a disease that uses the imaginary power of Antifa as the culprit for so many evils. Antifa is supposedly a communist-front organization that murders and fire-bombs the god-fearing folk who cheered at the ending of Roe versus Wade. According to Mr. McGlothlin, Antifa is just waiting for the FDA to end the availability of the abortion pill to start the revolution in earnest.
Obviously, Mr. McGlothlin is not aware that the few pathetic remnants of Antifa are hopelessly disorganized and unlikely to provoke a good fist fight.
And as to blaming Antifa for the murder of Catholic Bishop David O’Connell in Los Angeles, the more reliable Associated Press tells us that the husband of the bishop’s housekeeper has been arrested and charged with the murder. Please Mr. McGlothlin, I think you should seek help.
