CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY AUGUST 12, 2026
A SONG LYRIC FROM A LONG AGO OFF BROADWAY SHOW GOES LIKE THIS: “YOU WONDER HOW THESE THINGS BEGIN.”
THAT WAS IN THE CONTEXT OF A LOVE RELATIONSHIP, BUT THE QUESTION IS A GOOD ONE WHEN IT COMES TO SOME OF THOSE RUNNING FOR PUBLIC OFFICE. FROM ISLAMIC EXTREMISTS WHO HATE ISRAEL AND JEWS, TO THOSE WHO WANT TO GET RID OF THE POLICE, OPEN PRISONS AND BORDERS AND RAISE TAXES ON THE SUCCESSFUL, THIS DIDN’T HAPPEN OVERNIGHT. IT BEGAN WHEN TOO MANY AMERICANS FORGOT AND REFUSED TO RE-CONSIDER CERTAIN FOUNDATIONAL PRINCIPLES THAT ESTABLISHED AND SUSTAINED THIS COUNTRY FROM THE START.
OH, AND IT ALSO BEGAN WHEN TOO MANY OF US FORGOT GOD.
THE ONLY THING I LEARNED IN PHYSICS BEFORE FLUNKING TABLE OF CONTENTS WAS THAT NATURE ABHORS A VACUUM. WHEN ONE OCCURS, IT SEEKS FOR SOMETHING TO FILL IT. WE HAVE CREATED ECONOMIC, POLITICAL AND ESPECIALY SPIRITUAL VACUUMS AND WHAT HAS RUSHED TO FILL THEM IS THE DEMOCRATIC SOCIALISTS OF AMERICA AND PEOPLE WHO BELIEVE AMERICA SHOULD BE TRANSFORMED INTO THEIR SOCIALIST IMAGE.
THAT’S HOW THESE THINGS BEGIN. HOW IT WILL END IS VISIBLE BY LOOKING AT COUNTRIES LIKE CUBA, VENEZUELA AND RUSSIA. I’M CAL THOMAS.
