The Coldest War

From nojo at Stinque:

These people have always been among us, their sins visited upon us, their prejudices and greed and fears smothering us through our government. They abide the slaughtering of innocents, the kidnapping of children, the targeted misery of others. They profess to be Christian, but they ignore the Gospels. It’s all Leviticus and Paul to them, never Jesus.

Meanwhile, record highs have been set across the Northern Hemisphere. It won’t be a Flood this time.

We are not yet hopeless — not yet ready to descend into late Twain or mid-Mencken — but only because we can’t bear the thought of letting the bastards win. There’s too much at stake to surrender, too many people who have it much worse than we do, too much love still in the world to forsake, despite dedicated efforts to thwart it at every turn.

And yet we wonder what it will take.
