CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY DECEMBER 16, 2024
THE REACTION BY SOME TO THE MURDER OF UNITED HEALTH CARE CEO BRIAN THOMPSON IS SHOCKING. EVEN LIBERAL MASSACHUSETTS SENATOR ELIZABETH WARREN SEEMS TO HAVE LEFT THE DOOR OPEN FOR VIOLENCE WHEN IN HER MIND IT COULD BE JUSTIFIED. SHE SAID THE FOLLOWING: “VIOLENCE IS NEVER THE ANSWER, BUT PEOPLE CAN BE PUSHED ONLY SO FAR. THIS IS A WARNING THAT IF YOU PUSH PEOPLE HARD ENOUGH, THEY…START TO TAKE MATTERS INTO THEIR OWN HANDS IN WAYS THAT WILL ULTIMATELY BE A THREAT TO EVERYONE.”
THE KEY WORD IN HER COMMENT IS “BUT.” SAYING “BUT” ERASES WHATEVER CAME BEFORE IT. THE APOSTLE PAUL USED “BUT” IN A POSITIVE WAY. WARREN’S REMARK IS JUST THE OPPOSITE.
WARREN IS NOT ALONE. PEOPLE HAVE PUT UP WANTED POSTERS IN NEW YORK WITH PICTURES OF OTHER HEALTH INSURANCE CEO’S. SOME HAVE TAKEN TO SOCIAL MEDIA USING THEIR OWN SUPPOSED STRUGGLES TO GET INSURANCE COMPANIES TO PAY FOR THEIR SURGERIES AS JUSTIFICATION FOR THOMPSON’S MURDER.
CAN THIS BE TIED TO THE DEVALUING OF HUMAN LIFE AND THE 63 MILLION ABORTIONS SINCE 1963. I BELIEVE SO. WHEN WE ARE CONSIDERED EVOLUTIONARY ACCIDENTS; WHEN WE TREAT MEAT BETTER THAN HUMAN LIFE; WHEN MURDER OF AN ADULT IS CONSIDERED EXPLAINABLE AND NOT CONDEMNED, THIS IS WHAT WE GET. EXTREME TO BE SURE, BUT TODAY’S EXTREME IS TOMORROW’S ACCEPTABLE ACTION WHEN GOD’S GUARDRAILS ARE DESTROYED. I’M CAL THOMAS.
