Insanity All Around

As I stand my ground, I find myself increasingly middle of the road when it comes to the left-right paradigm in culture.  I have neo-Nazi crazies on my right and progressive, violent liberal pinheads on my left.

In this whole debate about the historical statues and monuments of an era which few now even remember, let alone comprehend the significance of, I found a morsel of truth and sanity in this post by "Desiring God," "The Monumental Problem: Hashtag Activism and Covert Racism," by Greg Morse.

This article reminds us again of the racist machine that is turning and churning, exterminating more black children more efficiently than any scheme which Hitler could ever have imagined.

It is the duty of Christians to stand against evil, wherever it may be found on the left and on the right.  It is our duty to see, to discern, to shun, and to help extirpate it.
