We’ve Lost Our Moral Footing: Hang Them All In The Public Square

By Frosty Wooldridge

With my last column titled, “America’s Ethicality, Morality and Decency Quotient Spiraling Into The Toilet” July 14, 2022, your responses dropped in like paratroopers landing in France during WWII. Many of you expressed your fury as to what’s happening to our country. Others felt saddened. All of you “see” what’s happening to the United States, and it’s not pretty. Half of America stands at odds with the other half. Liberal versus Conservative.

On Friday, July 15, 2022, FOXNEWS’ Tucker Carlson spoke out directly to the fact that Joe Biden suffers from severe dementia and is incapable of leading this country. Carlson showed where Biden exhibited his dementia in 2019. His wife gave him pills of some sort to pump him up when he gave speeches. Today, not even pep pills can help his addled mind. He’s clearly on his last legs both mentally and physically. He shakes hands with the air after he steps away from the podium. If not for the teleprompter, he would not be able to give a coherent speech.

What’s disgusting remains the fact that Biden’s wife, Jill, concealed it, his handlers hid it, and the mainstream media continues to hide Biden’s dementia. The 25^th Amendment needs to be brought into play. Even if it gives us that “willy-nilly” and totally incompetent Kamala Harris, something must be done. Biden stands at the doorstep of a stroke, heart attack or simply total exhaustion.

Biden’s entire cabinet cannot solve our nation’s problems. They are all standing at the door of the Peter Principle, i.e., people in the Western world keep getting promoted to their highest level of incompetence. Whether it’s Pete Buttigieg, Kamala Harris, that transgender guy pretending to be a woman by wearing dresses in the Department of Human Services, or Mr. Mayorkas of DHS who will not stop the invasion of our southern border. It has topped 2,000,000 illegal migrants as of Sunday, July 17, 2022.

One reader said, “Like you I see the same “news” and it is NOT pleasant. I only differ in one area…HANG THEM ALL IN THE PUBLIC SQUARE and start with the lawless criminals of Washington, DC…work from the top down!

“It is VERY hard to vote anyone in/out with nationwide voter fraud and I know they are ramping it up. These people are surely not coming clean or arrest themselves.”

We are losing our moral footing

Another reader said, “The question is: Whose ethics, morality and decency? Every worldview holds a position on these topics but those positions of one worldview are usually at great odds against those of another worldview. What you described about the crimes in the cities and the criminal behaviors of our elected officials match the acceptable ethics, morality and decency of cultural Marxism…they are all relative and match the agenda for anarchy. What you have hinted at should be restoration of the ethics, morality and decency found in the Judeo/Christian based Western Civilization.” Richard

Our second president, John Adams said it best:

While our country remains untainted with the principles and manners which are now producing desolation in so many parts of the world; while she continues sincere, and incapable of insidious and impious policy, we shall have the strongest reason to rejoice in the local destination assigned us by Providence. But should the people of America once become capable of that deep simulation towards one another, and towards foreign nations, which assumes the language of justice and moderation while it is practicing iniquity and extravagance, and displays in the most captivating manner the charming pictures of candor, frankness, and sincerity, while it is rioting in rapine and insolence, this country will be the most miserable habitation in the world; because we have no government armed with power capable of contending with human passions unbridled by morality and religion. Avarice, ambition, revenge, or gallantry would break the strongest cords of our Constitution as a whale goes through a net. Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other. (….11 October, 1798)

As we lose the “rule of law” because of such people like Chicago’s Mayor Lightfoot, or AG Kim Foxx, or AG George Gascon in LA or Alvin Bragg in NYC…we’re in BIG trouble. One African-American judge said, “I don’t like to be around cops.” That’s not a good indication that she supports law and order. But it doesn’t end with “black” because “white” AG Gascon in LA is pathetically anti-laws.

Another reader wrote, “Thank you for your article on accountability.

I believe and many more believe …Until justice is implemented on criminals at ALL levels and our police forces are allowed to do their job according to our laws, we will continue to slide into hell.” J.

Another wrote, “I am a Christian Conservative Black female, and I just read your article. I agree in part and disagree in part.

“I agree that evil and crime are running rampant in America, and too Black Attorney Generals’ are doing absolutely nothing to help solve the crime problem. In fact, many are directly contributing to it.

“I disagree that, at this point, criminals are intimidated by jail time. Many brag that they have a free bed, and free meals, in an air-conditioned building. Anything less in America, would be considered, maltreatment of prisoners.

“I believe the death penalty needs to be used more against these menaces to society. They need to be put to death, many of them, and only then will you see the crime rate drop. Criminals will never take American laws seriously because the laws are too lenient on criminals.”

A reader wrote, “You did it again! You hit that nail square on the head again, with your article, America’s Ethicality, Morality and Decency Quotient Spiraling Into The Toilet! In that article, you make it so plain that anyone with even a half a brain could understand what’s happening in our country. Except, I think we’re buttin’ our heads against a wall – ‘cause there’s not enough people getting to read your article! I don’t know how to get it out to all of the nation, and all of the nation needs to read it. This is another one of your articles that needs to go viral – nationwide. Then we all need to band together – maybe it would be in mind, only, but that would be good enough – and then hit the poles with knowledge of what those we’re voting for, stand for.

How do we make it all happen? We’re going to hell in a handbasket!”

In the final analysis, we need to impose strict law enforcement, and the harshest jail terms to get those lawless animals off the streets, We start very strict educational standards to bring our kids up to understand their obligations toward their own society. We must indoctrinate them to be “good citizens” by making sure they understand that if they break our laws, they will severely pay a very severe price.

Do we want to continue down this current path? Will we survive this division within our country? If you have better ideas on how to “right” our ship of state, please come forward.
