Tongues are wagging about a column posted Thursday by FITSNews editor Will Folks, who points to the “root causes” of the Emanuel 9 church shooting as something more than racism, guns, drug abuse, mental illness or the Confederate flag. Listen:
“The real killer is something far more sinister (and far more widespread than we know): It’s desperation. Fear. And yes, ignorance. Which our culture is breeding.
“And all of those things are ultimately flowing from the same place, a pervasive erosion of economic opportunity that’s impacting all of us … and which is only getting worse. Yet while we are all in this fight together – white and black, man and woman, gay and straight – we continue to be conditioned into believing the enemy is “us” (or subsets of us). You know, as opposed to a corrupt, debt-addled political establishment that’s crushing our futures – and a supplicant mainstream media establishment serving up ready-made scapegoats in an effort to divide and deflect the blame.”
It’s a provocative read and there’s lots more on tax relief, handouts and societal indoctrination.
