I read MS Greene's column on Integrity. Adherence to moral ethical principles; being honest; doing the right thing. I will add there is no such thing as situational integrity. You either have integrity or you don't. MS Greene knows this because her daddy raised her right. She writes about lack of integrity in the world today and cites marches and protests that turn violent and vandalize public property stop transit while innocent bystanders and police are ambushed and killed by these mobs as the prime example.
As MS Greene said: These mobs believe their excuses and reasonings justify their actions and no one is held accountable. The media spins it to sound justified. Again right on MS Greene.
It got me thinking about the last big protests we experienced I think it was January 6th 2021. The day the "Stop the Steal" rally in Washington turned violent. Obviously these people fit MS Greene's description perfectly. They stormed the Capital vandalized the building beat police officers and some police died. They shouted "Kill the Speaker of the House" and "hang Mike Pence". Who would want to hang Mike Pence. He is such a nice man. And to this very day the media puts spin on this and makes it sound justified.
All of this was live streamed on TV and went on for almost four hours. Thank goodness President Trump was still in office. A moral man with great integrity and love of country. It's not known just what President Trump was doing during the first hours of the siege. For sure he did not have the tv on. Let's think, he might have been helping his family pack since they had to move out of the White House. Maybe he was deep in prayer or leading a group session reading scripture.
In any case about four hours into the siege someone tapped him on the shoulder and said "sir look out the window there is a riot going on and they want to hang Mike". He jumped into action told the mob he loved them and to go on home. Plus about that same time 1,000 National Guard troops showed up.
Either way Trump saved the day. Think how many police would have died that day if our President had not sprung in to action four hours after the siege started.
Thank you MS Greene for denouncing mob violence like the mob that attacked our Capital on January 6th killing police and destroying property that fateful day.
Now this is where MS Greene gets over my head in her use of scripture quoting Revelations. I am not sure what the passage means but I think it says theses thugs won't get into heaven. Integrity you either have it or you don't.
