I suppose the question of, (was it too soon for Astrophysicist Dr. Neil deGrasse Tyson to tweet out his “painful take” on the shootings in El Paso and Dayton) is a valid one. Nevertheless, the near immediate and reprehensible Democrat response to these horrific acts of evil, does beg the expeditious clarity and reason of thoughtful people in response. Now I would agree we must first come together as human beings in the face of such inexplicable violence so we may properly grieve and reflect. But why do Liberals get a pass when running to the nearest microphone or cable news network to quickly exploit the dead and wounded? Why are their “opinions” and factually challenged narratives on the tongues of nearly every media desk jockey and their complicit news outlet, yet when someone has the intestinal fortitude to throw some truth and reason into the discussion, it’s condemned out of hand.
Well I have a flash for all of you. Dr. deGrasse, while likely burdened with the insensitivity commonly associated with higher education, is 100% correct. The Left in this country are counting on your emotions and not your reason. It’s what gets them elected. Moreover, deGrasse’s short tweet doesn’t even begin to address the myriad of additional facts and data which literally suck the argument right out of the anti-gun narrative. Make no mistake my friends, political charlatans like Robert Francis O’Rourke and “Mayor Pete” Buttigieg are nothing more than opportunistic and disingenuous ideologues who recognize the value of exploitation in their quest to “fundamentally change” America.
Ultimately, the loss of any human life to mindless violence rakes at our hearts and begs answers. But I think the point deGrasse is trying to make, is knee-jerk and emotional reactions to complicated issues of the heart and of society as a whole, only exacerbate an already difficult situation. Legislating, absent fair-minded and fact based debate, is like taking cold medicine for cancer. As for me, and how I see these tragedies, the further we allow our elected officials to steer us away from God and the truth of our success as a nation and a people, the worse this will get. We are seeing this truth play out before our very eyes. Dismiss it at your own peril…
