Let us wonder at the morals of this nation. What have we become, that we think this is just: An email appeal comes this morning from the Friends of Mia Love PAC saying, "Nancy Pelosi and Ilhan Omar want to defund the police and let our cities burn," and asking for a donation.
I email back, suggesting they are misrepresenting others. I am surprised to get a reply. "John, the Democrat Party has never been more radical."
"You are kind to respond," I email back. "Honesty, though, is important. In all that we do, honesty is important. Bearing false witness is wrong. Does Nancy Pelosi want to defund the police? Does she want to let our cities burn? Are those honest representations of her views? Or, are we making a buck off peddling lies when we make such accusations?"
I am shocked by the PAC's conduct. Yet, I realize how common it is. We should be shocked, but in truth we know such conduct is all about us. It is the way of the world and the way of our day. Those who think themselves honorable think nothing wrong in bearing false witness. Slander and lies are their life blood. Hate and deceit are their comforts.
