The Revenge of Moriarty

  The American Spectator | USA News and Politics

‘For years past I have continually been conscious of some power behind the malefactor, some deep organising power which forever stands in the way of the law, and throws its shield over the wrongdoer. Again and again in cases of the most varying sorts … I have felt the presence of this force, and I have deduced its action in many of those undiscovered crimes in which I have not been personally consulted. For years I have endeavored to break through the veil which shrouded it, and at last the time came when I seized my thread and followed it, until it led me, after a thousand cunning windings, to ex-Professor Moriarty of mathematical celebrity.’  — Sherlock Holmes, The Final Problem by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

. . ."Conan Doyle well understood the universal appeal of ascribing all the evils of the world to one identifiable source. Then it would be possible to neutralize the catalyst and save England, as Holmes fictionally did by killing Moriarty. Unfortunately, the dark spiderweb enveloping America is being woven not by one isolated fiend but by a multitude of them, disciples of a sick and toxic leftist ideology. And for far too long, conservatives stood by and let the spiderweb spread, thread by thread, until we too became caught in it.

"Now, infamies once thought unfathomable or unspeakable by a moral society are being more than embraced, in fact mandated. The radical Democrats doing this have taken power from the docile normal people, aided by their education-brainwashed acolytes. Hence, the foundations of the country have lost substance while a perverse fantasy carries governmental — if not yet constitutional — weight.

"Last week, Washington state passed a bill that will permit children to be taken from their parents if they deny them the right to “gender transition.” According to Senate Bill 5599, child shelters could contact the Department of Children, Youth, and Families instead of parents for minors seeking “reproductive health services or gender-affirming care.”

"It’s vile enough that pregnant young girls can have their babies killed by state-sanctioned abortionists — the true meaning of “reproductive health services” — even without their parents’ permission. None can deny the baby inside them is, or was, alive before his or her murder. But pro-choice maniacs can wail about the greater good of a child’s death for the parents or society, absent the little corpse of the victim. Their punishment will come later, after their own demise, in a place they don’t believe exists.". . .
