If you are unable to ascertain that leftist judges threw the mentally incapacitated out of institutions and into the streets in the nineteen seventies then you need to have a serious talk with someone who remembers. And if you think that shielding the young from exposure to death isn't quintessential liberalism then that's another talk someone needs to have with you.
The lady is articulating conservatism (and accurately targeting specific liberal policies) very well. Sometimes surgical precision is more effective than a general diatribe.
And yet missing that an all-negative “love” really isn’t what God instituted either.
Christians who grasp this can share a faith that is holy enough to resist secular liberalism.
That may be true about mental institions but unfortunately the great majority of those committing mass shootings are not mentally incapacitated. In fact I find it scary and a bit creepy that we are pushing this “it’s a mental health issue”. Yes I think it’s likely anyone who goes into a building and randomly shoots people is mentally ill in some way but it’s not for certain we could detect the issue or do anything about it. Many if not most of these acts are more related to terrorism type revenge than mental illness. Bottom line I think we are barking up the wrong tree trying to solve mass shootings through an increase in mental health diagnosis and treatment.
If you look at the facts objectively I think we have to conclude video games and television have little if anything to do with mass shootings. In fact they may actually have the opposite effect. Millions of kids and adults play violent shooting video games and watch violent movies and TV shows yet only a barely measurable fraction of a fraction of a percent of the populace commit these awful crimes. Since such a vast amount of people are exposed to violence in video games and movies yet nearly all of them NEVER commit any homicidal act it's entirely possible that the games and movies actually reduce the occurrences of violence. I'm not saying that is the case but the facts certainly support that possibility.
I applaud the teachers post for not mentioning gun control and putting more responsibility for teaching our kids how to behave.
