I remember watching a martial arts "master"
conduct a class in front of an audience where all he did was wave his hands,
and scores of his students immediately fell to the ground.
When these students regained their strength and tried
another way to combat the master, all he needed to repel any attack was another
simple wave of his hand, and again the students crashed to the floor.
On the surface, it appears that the martial arts master's
exhibition was meant to deceive the audience, that he was faking his special
invisible powers allowing him to neutralize would-be assailants with a wave of
his hand.
But it was much worse than that. Sometime later, the
master challenged a professional MMA fighter to a fighting skills contest.
As the MMA fighter closed in, the master started waving
his hands just as he did to his students. But instead of falling to the ground,
the MMA fighter landed several blows to the face of the master sending him to
the floor.
After the master regained his composure, he again started
waving his hands, and like before, he was sent crumbling to the floor after
being hit by multiple head and body blows. This time he stayed on the floor and
was assisted by concerned people in the audience.
In his controlled classroom, the master was able to
practice the worst kind of deception - self-deception.
The master was suffering from delusion, believing one
wave of his hand could knock out scores of fighters. His self-deception was
painfully exposed when he entered reality and fought a real fighter. But it was
more than just a wake-up call because his self-deception almost cost him his
life.
Democrats, the Left, and the fake news media are
precisely like the delusional martial arts master. They live in an unreal world
where fewer police officers equate to safer streets, where it's fair for high
school girls to compete against high school boys in sports, where racism is
acceptable when perpetrated against a particular race.
We are allowing the bus to be driven by a driver who sees
a different road than the one in front of him. The United States is currently
being run by delusional people whose beliefs have never been challenged because
to do so would hurt their feelings.
Delusional and self-deceptive people in leadership roles
that believe America is a bad place, maintaining that criminals and people who
enter the country illegally are better than law-abiding citizens.
Self-deception is the most dangerous kind of deception,
and those on the Left and the Democrat Party are full of such people. Just as
the martial arts master found himself bleeding and contorted on the canvas
floor, America will soon find itself in new foreign war, energy-dependent and
bankrupt. All because the insane "Green New Deal" and other Leftist
Democrat programs were unanchored to reality.
It's time to take the ship's controls away from the
infants. To hell with political correctness or being afraid of being called a
racist. Fear will kill this country faster than any ballistic missile. Men and
women died to create and keep the freedoms we enjoy. Are we willing to accept
being called names and canceled on social media to preserve our freedoms?
