"The school’s headmaster was also reportedly upset about what he saw as violent passages from the child’s journal, including ones about scenarios with killer zombies. The child’s father, Jeff, whose last name was omitted from the report, told KPHO that the journal contained other passages about saving the world and that his son has no history of violence."Oh dear me! That is cause for concern! We can't have eight year olds talking about zombies, or drawing Jedi with laser guns - especially not before Halloween, What kind of world do we live in anyway? I'll tell you what kind. We live in a world where liberals have overwhelmed every bit of common sense, where idiots have floated to the top as if cream, where boys are taught to be women and not men. We live in a world at war with the masculine virtues. We live in a world at war with our God-given nature. We live in a world hell bent on being hell bent.
Glory, glory halla-luyer Teacher hit me with a ruler I met her at the door with me trusty .44 now she don't teach no more!And we ALL understood that this was not some blueprint for action. In fact, it worked in the exact opposite way, helping to blow off steam. It was not a prelude to some sort of school shooting. No, those came later, after progressives got their hands on the youth. Liberals have to understand that by daming up natural impulses they will warp and channel them improperly. Aldous Huxley wrote of it in Brave New World, and he got it from Freud, Jung, and the psychologists of the early 20th century. It is nothing new. Yet liberals continue to do this in the classroom and school yard. Why? One cannot assume innocent motives here. And so we have things like Sandy Hook. Liberals say we cannot correct young people, that we have no right to tell them right from wrong. We have conflict resolution classes trying to teach a values-free belief system to resolve interpersonal problems. We tell the young that the worst sin is judgementalism. We tell the kids that everything is a shade of gray. But depict a firearm or other weapon and the wrath of the Lord will descend upon you. Sex too; there is a reason sex was downplayed for the young; the link between sex and aggression was obvious to everyone from the beginning, and young boys are driven to partial madness if their libido is overstoked. Liberals have forced sex into everything, and while their answer to the resulting fire they have ignited is free, unlimited sex, there isn’t enough to go around - and the consequences tend to be unhealthy, to put it mildly. But we cannot say “don’t do it” to the kids; the reply is “they’re going to do it anyway” yet they liberals are quite determined to stop any expression of boyhood. So, sex cannot be stopped but playing with toy guns can? And in the process the left picks the lock on self-control for these kids. Playing with toy guns is an outlet, while stoking up lust does the exact opposite. Judge not - unless ye be boys. Progressives are very judgmental. Far more so than those they denounce for holding standards. They cannot argue against traditional standards in any intellectual way, so they have created this clever trick whereby they argue against any concrete reality, any Natural Law, but they are quick to impose their own arbitrary beliefs. It is the ultimate hypocrisy. The liberal dream of a New Man requires strangling the old. That is precisely what this is all about.
