The bombings during he Boston Marathon, plus the hunt for the perpetrators, grabs the nation's headlines and attention. Again, violence our attention.
Sitting safely, it is easy to throw out comments. So I will.
Too many of the progressive liberals forget, or do not want to acknowledge, that there is evil in the world. That evil all too often manifests itself in violent, horrible ways. Whether the shooter at Virgina Tech, the mentally deranged kill in Newtown, the jihadists at World Trade Center, or the local killer, rapist, or child abuser. There is evil in the world and all the platitudes by POTUS and the progressive liberals will not change that fact.
Legislators and pundits cannot stop evil, only determined men and women, willing to lay down their lives, are able to combat evil. The police in Boston, the Marines in Fallujah, the soldiers in Bagdag, the SEALS in Afghanistan, or the police across the nation. These are the men and women who tackle evil. All the politicians and pundits, stacked together, can't compare to a single iota of the men and women of law enforcement and the the Armed Forces, who stand ready, every single day, to lay in on the line.
AS the nation comes to grips with this latest assault, I hope and encourage fellow citizens to remember that evil doesn't play by the rules. Evil doesn't care about the progressive liberals whining views of the world. Evil is willing to take your life, the life of your wife, the lives of your children, the lives of your neighbors. The lives of people you've never met.
All the feel good rhetoric means nothing to those who are evil. Only force and the willingness to use it can counter it.
Thank God for our police and Armed Forces.
As violence again grabs the nation's attention, we have protectors willing to stand between us and those who would do evil.
