I sent this email today. For context, I had cut some biographies (for space concerns in a press release) of participants in a conference and my woke African colleague wanted to keep the full bios. So she evoked “protocol” and “cultural sensitivities,” which enraged me. So, two days later, for the first time in two and a half years, with our boss in copy, I retaliated! (I intend to start preparing a formal complaint for racism at some point: in the past, there have been a lot of “white people/girl” / westerners / Eurocentricity/ heteronormativity / etc., etc. comments; everyone knows white people are her big bugbear, although she’s married to one?!).

Dear Person Who’s On My Case all the Time because I am White and American,

This article was penned by a member of the Danish Parliament to promote discussion about just where we are headed.

To some, it’s a utopian goal … the desired endpoint of our current big tech, big government, Marxist cooperative. To others, it’s a totalitarian hell to be avoided at all costs. But it was published by the World Economic Forum, proponents of the “Great Reset.”

Is this where they really think we could end up? It seems amazingly economically naive for something put out by an economics organization. Free clean energy? Free telecommunications? Free … everything? Without some analog to the Philosopher’s Stone, scarcity will be with us always. And with it, nothing is free. Some method must exist to ration scarce goods. Prices, determined by the free choices of free people, seem to be the best way we know to do this. But it’s not the only way. All the others depend on varying degrees of authoritarian fiat. Surely the WEF knows this. So why pretend that there is a “free stuff” possible future? They certainly seem to know there is a downside to the “free stuff” future…

“Don’t piss down my back and tell me it’s raining”

It seems now that the supreme virtue taunted by the media and anyone eager for a return to a lagging economy, an unrestricted border, spiraling healthcare costs, unchallenged Chinese expansion, an assured nuclear weapon for the world’s greatest exporter of terror and rule of bureaucratic fiat is unity. We should all get in line and eagerly show our support for a President Joe Biden and any agenda coming from his administration. It is important that we all accept a Biden presidency and unify behind it for the good of the entire country. You remember like everyone did for the last four years or so.

I am only a mere deplorable. My education has been hampered by an inability to find sense or logic in the pronouncements of Marx. I remain unimpressed by Utopia. There are even some who have accused me of being independent to a fault as if there were such a thing. But I do have what I consider to be some important thoughts about unity and even some experience in its application.

For those of you who don’t know, Mrs. Guerra is an author as well. Yesterday we released her latest book, Work That God Sees: Prayerful Motherhood in the Midst of the Overwhelm.  My wife, Shannon, is a a fantastic writer, a hilarious storyteller, and a mom of eight kids through birth and adoption with no compunction about dishing it out and keeping it real. Here are some samples in her own words:

[There’s] the story about when I almost drove into a snowy ditch because little Chamberlain was yelling at me from the backseat about that one time Wendy came over for all the beer. I have a good reason for that, and it’s in there.

Also, one or two stories about trying to complete purchases from the unmentionables department unscathed by physical injury, emotional remorse, or other trauma.

California Governor Gavin Newsom was spotted dining with a large group at a high-end gourmet restaurant several days ago. Among the guests at this party were members of the California Medical Association (CMA). Since Newsom and the CMA have pushed for COVID-19 restrictions that have hurt many California restaurants, many have called out the governor for his hypocritical behavior.

Newsom issued an apology in which he stated his actions went against the spirit of what he has been preaching and that he needs to practice what he preaches.

The culture veered off course decades ago when university theologians with the airs of religion converged with a cultural vision of utopia in which radical leftism proclaimed itself more inclusive than Jesus. All of the tolerance, none of the judgment. Compassion became the word of the day and political leftists used it as a club to beat people into submission. The most successful propaganda campaign of the last half-century is the leftists’ caricature of conservativism as cold-hearted, intolerant, and uncompassionate. But the reality couldn’t be more different. What could be more compassionate than allowing a person the maximum freedom equality of opportunity to achieve their vision of the American Dream?
