"Up in the air! It is a bird! It is a plane! No, it is.....never mind. My mistake..."
What a hot mess. Not just a little hot, but red hot. The world is on fire, and we have no firemen. No heroes. No policemen. The world needs not only heroes right now, but superheroes. In World War II, after a long pregnant pause, superheroes did emerge. They saved the day. Today however, it is a much different story. While the world needs Kal-El (Superman), all we can muster up is Clark Kent.
In fact our President, who the world is looking for to become the next Kal-El, remains only Clark Kent. In fact, today the Wall Street Journal called our President something much worse. (I will paraphrase some), He is a "reclusive Howard Hughes satisfied to spend the rest of his term remaining in the White House".
I heard on the news thing morning how important it is not to get angry. Research continues to show that being angry is bad for your health. So I will try and get this out without being too angry, but it is going to be hard.
As many know by now, the thugs in Nigeria (Islamic Terrorist Group Boko Haram) have managed to reach a new low. Hard to believe, but they have. They are now kidnapping young girls, strapping explosive vests on them, and then sending them into crowds to be blown up. If this was a novel, most would throw it down in disgust and wonder how some sicko could write this crap. But ladies and gentlemen, this is for real. This and other atrocities continue to go on in Africa. And yet, nobody can stop it. SOS signals keep going out, only to be received by deaf ears the UN and the US.
ISIL continues the mass extermination of Christians in Iraq and Syria. Not since the Arminian Genocide has the world seen Christians hunted down in such numbers. Earlier this week, over 150 Christians were kidnapped by ISIL. By now the world knows the modus operandi of this blood thirsty group of Islamic Terrorists. They do not do prisoners well. In addition, they don't give a rat's butt about the Geneva Convention. To be captured by this group is to know you will be decapitated, burned alive or buried alive.
To make a bad story even worse, it is now thought that ISIL is harvesting organs out of their victims. Money to be made on the black market. This is so sick, it reminds me of horrors Rasputin or Mengele would perform on innocent victims. And all Clark Kent can do, is watch.
I have said this before - history will be very unkind to our generation. We are not guilty of commission of these heinous acts, but certainly are of the omission to stop them. To watch and do nothing violates every moral code the civilized world knows. Is it possible for Clark Kent to whip off those glasses and change into his Superman clothes? To fly over and stop this insanity? Or does the world need to wait another 700 days.
The other day Senator McCain said that due to our inaction in helping innocent people in the Middle East, for the first time he was ashamed to be an American. Well Senator, we are not our Daddy's generation. That is for sure. They were called the Greatest Generation for a reason. We certainly will not be.
