American Thinker:
By Eric Utter
There was once an Age of Reason. Today, we appear to be living in the Age of Unreason. Or insanity.
As I’ve noted in previous posts, it is exceedingly difficult today for a sane person to believe what he observes on a daily basis, whether it be Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez stating that the world will end in 12 years, Nancy Pelosi demanding that Republicans in the Senate put on a “fair” trial, pundits and talking heads blithely comparing President Trump to Hitler or the devil, people being threatened with fines or job loss for “misgendering” someone, or the pronouncements that men are having their own babies…to name but a few of the absurdities now passed off as news. Additionally, nearly every progressive policy prescription is utterly, demonstrably devoid of reason and logic.
To wit: Abortion should be legal, as it’s simply “a woman’s choice” to do what she will with her body? No. She can’t light up a cigarette in a public restaurant. She can’t depress the accelerator of her car too far without being issued a ticket for speeding or worse. She can’t drive drunk. If she is conservative, she often can’t even speak without being shouted down or chased off college campuses. She may be asked to leave a restaurant while quietly dining with family. She may even be assaulted. Just ask Sarah Sanders, Candace Owens, or Michelle Malkin, among many others.
Guns are bad and should be banned? Then why are most mass murders committed in gun-free zones? Why are the cities with the strictest gun control laws typically the ones with the most homicides? more here

Age of Unreason
Robert Heinlein called it “The Crazy Years”.
I need to go back and re-read some of his stories.
Agreed. Clearly an age of unreason. One could get tired in knots obliging some of the block-minded among us.
Perhaps it’s the reflection that comes with a new year, but I am inspired by this post to paraphrase from “Whitewater,” a work of fiction: “…elders knew that nothing abides forever; there was no courage without wisdom; and love may fail both the loving and the loved.”

For MOST of the country, things are going well.
The enemy is the media, which itself is the swamp/left/islamic axis’ mouthpiece and propaganda arm.

Insanity was bound to reach its zenith once the consequences of being insane reached their nadir.
“… But for the gleam of heavenly light which Thou hast lent him:
He calls it Reason – thence his power’s increased,
To be far beastlier than any beast.”
(Goethe)
Not insanity.
Not unreason.
CAREFULLY LAID PLAN.
BEING CAREFULLY EXECUTED.
“Grab em by the nose and kick em in the ass” is replaced by “Hit them everywhere at once, from every direction.”

It’s Gary Larson’s world now…
I disagree with the author on his premise that the state is attacking faith. Yes, they are attacking faith in God, but they are instead REPLACING it with faith in the STATE, a combination of socialism, environmentalism, fake science, and whatever political correct bullshit their priests deem true on a daily basis. Rank and file leftists are full of faith.
