The Animosity Train.

The popular phrase is “tipping point.” It means some issue or some situation crosses a threshold that changes it dramatically and unalterably — when it reaches the point of no return. Something tells you that the families and friends of slain policemen in Dallas and Baton Rouge are well past that point. They now live tormented by grief and overwhelmed by anger, and perhaps hate. Meanwhile, millions of other people are delighted and vindicated by cop killings. You can almost hear the voices, saying, “It serves you right; now you know how it feels . . .” The President of the United States of course was obligated to deplore the violence in his typically cool, detached manner. Other leaders offer their condolences. Memorial services provide recognition and attempt to soothe and placate the aggrieved. And from every pulpit and behind every microphone, you hear the ubiquitous calls for unity, for community outreach, for understanding the motives of those who feel compelled to commit atrocities. You hear sermons and lectures, explaining that only a small minority of radicals are militant, that you must temper your anger and seek cooperation, that you must avoid the blame game. In other words, at all cost, in the spirit of PC, you must avoid The Truth. There are things you simply shouldn’t say unless you’re willing to risk being slammed and labeled a racist. For instance, you can’t say that America is in the midst of a Race War. You would be attacked for saying  that Barack Obama is personally responsible for the Race War; or that since the day he took office, his policies, rhetoric and behavior have spawned a culture of hate and envy. If that allegation were true, why that would mean he’s personally responsible for the assassination of police officers and innocent civilians. Someone might even suggest he has blood on his hands. You can’t say that, anymore than you can accuse the African American Community for permitting a culture of ignorance, violence, promiscuity, dependence and racism. You must be sensitive to the fallout from this type of harsh, combative language. Further, when you defy or impeach Islam, you do nothing but spark further malice; therefore, never, ever, condemn the peaceful adherents of Islam by insinuating that their submissive silence facilitates a reign of terror. My goodness, that sort of recrimination might be misunderstood as belligerent. Therefore, in the spirit of moderation and indulgence, you appeal to the facts of rational thought. No credible evidence suggests that violence will recede; rather, it will escalate, as racial factions like Black Lives Matter advance their agenda. Likewise, Islamic terrorism  will continue its global march. Barack Obama will vacate the White House in a few months, leaving behind his major legacy — a prideful country torn asunder.  If the American people have appreciated the Obama years, they can experience more of the same with Clinton II. She has promised them as much.  With her, the animosity train would roll merrily along, unimpeded. She would happily drive that train if the American people let her. Make no mistake. The Tipping Point is in their hands.
