Vice President JD Vance woke up this morning with the goal of kicking butt and chewing bubblegum, and he's all outta bubblegum.
Mamdani's family fled violent racial hatred only for him to come to this country — a country built by people he never knew, overflowing with generosity to his family, offering a haven from the kind of violent ethnic conflict that is common place in world history, but it is not common place here — and he dares on our 249th anniversary to congratulate it by paying homage to its ‘incompleteness,' and to its, as he calls it, ‘contradiction.'
And the finisher:
"Who the hell does he think that he is?"
Zohran Mamdani came to the United States because his Indian parents fled the ethnic violence happening in Uganda, where they had built a life for themselves as expats.
He repaid America's generosity by becoming an actual Marxist who hates America, her history, her traditions, and the great men who built the West.
That's not a metaphor. He literally posts pictures of himself flipping off Christopher Columbus statues and demanding such statues be torn down.
There's something that JD missed in his speech, though. It is true that Zohran has abused the Christian charity of the West. It is true that he has repaid kindness with Marxist greed and jealousy.
But it's also true that we are the ones who have allowed such generosity and kindness to be abused, and at great cost to current and future American generations.
The liberals told you human nature was generally good and malleable, and they put that theory into praxis by trying to create democracy in the Third World. When that failed, they imported the Third World, believing liberal education would cause a diverse utopia to break out across the land.
But as it turns out, the Bible was right. Human nature is fallen, requires safeguards, can only be changed by a transformation of the heart, and are ONLY sustained on a civilizational level through certain moral values within a very narrow framework.
As CS Lewis put it:
Education without values, as useful as it is, seems rather to make man a more clever devil.
The West pursued a course of endless empathy to the developing world because it still lauds Christian charity, even if chastity, courage, prudence, temperance, and faith have been cast aside.
But endless empathy is like eating a diet of pure sugar. It makes you feel really good at first, and then your stomach begins to churn. If you ignore the warnings and keep on eating in an effort of sustaining the good vibes, your pancreas implodes like a dying star.
Sugar detached from a balanced diet is as poisonous as kindness detached from the other virtues.
Navigating those waters is not always easy. I can't tell you how to love your neighbor specifically in your context. That is your own burden and task.
But I can definitively say that civilizations must take certain actions to prevent the body politic from dying from too much "sweetness." There are certain actions a nation MUST take to protect their families and neighbors from utter oblivion and endless terror.
Yes, Mamdani abused our generosity.
But we abused that generosity first.
