And now it scrambles to avoid responsibility for reaping the whirlwind. \u00a0As\u00a0two murdered police officers are mourned<\/a>, a nation that spent the last months whipped into a frenzy of cop-hate by the media will demonstrate the glories of the post-modern era that doesn\u2019t sweat truth or consistent principles. \u00a0Right now the only real issue for the media is\u00a0the focus on de Blasio and his former statements<\/a>\u00a0about murderous, racist cops. But there are others to blame. \u00a0Many, many others. \u00a0While it is certainly fair to call out injustices, seek answers, and protest wrongs, what we saw was a whipped up frenzy of hate and fanaticism that would have shamed a Nuremberg rally. \u00a0And those who were swept up in this exclusive focus on our murderous, racist KKK cops in new uniforms? \u00a0Blood on hands folks. \u00a0Blood on hands. \u00a0For if opposing homosexual normality makes one responsible for Matthew Shepherd, and focusing on Islamic terrorism makes you responsible for the killings at the Sikh temple in Wisconsin, then the logical conclusion is that all who pounded the drum of Evil Racist Cop has the same culpability in this case. \u00a0Expect this to be said by our White House or media elite\u2026not at all.\u00a0<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Peace to all who have lost loved ones. \u00a0Peace to people killed wrongly by police, and peace for the police who must risk their lives to protect us. \u00a0And peace to those cops and their families for being victims of a media constructed witch hunt. \u00a0May God grant them strength and perseverance in the coming months. \u00a0<\/div>\n

P.S. \u00a0I was going to post some tweets celebrating and mocking the policemen\u2019s murders, but decided not to. \u00a0Such evil is not worth touching. \u00a0God rest their souls. \u00a0<\/div>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
