Nut Cases

This morning I opened my email from Erick Erickson's Red State Blog and was totally shocked to read that some left-winger (wing-nut) had targeted his home and family for a prank phone call to 911. Several Sheriff's deputies arrived at his home, lights flashing, and deployed around it with guns drawn because someone had called in an accidental shooting there. It placed him, his wife, and three year old son in a life-threatening situation. I don't know why I was shocked. I know that it's getting dangerous out there. The not-so-encouraging thing is that it's going to get worse. As it gets closer and closer to whatever it's getting closer to (you like that I didn't tell you? Ha! Exercise your imagination), we are going to see things we never thought possible. More than a government that has lost its flippin' mind. More than economical collapse. We are going to see their love grow even colder. Heck, we'll see OUR love grow colder if we don't absolutely guard our hearts. The left fails to remember Who's really in charge. They snicker and laugh at their own plans and think there will never be a consequence to their actions. The sad thing is that people like Erick and his family could have suffered terrible loss should an officer have shot one of his family members. It could have ended badly- the "Accidental shooting" could have easily become a tragedy. It didn't because Erick is a smart cookie and had warned the Sheriff's Department ahead of time that such a thing could happen. They still had to respond cautiously, guns drawn.Still dangerous, any way you look at it. We live at a time when we have to be vigilant not only in our circumstances, but in our hearts as well. We can't allow ourselves the luxury of becoming bitter or vindictive. We can't "let the sun set on our anger." We have to be constantly aware of the temperature of the atmosphere (and I'm not talking about a hole in the ozone, folks).If some of the crazies on the left are willing to place us in harm's way for fun, then anything can happen. Keep your eyes open!
