A Volcano Is Fixing To Erupt

The other day on social media, I saw a post that contained several pictures of well-known people with liberal views. The group of photos of people included pictures of a famous fast-food hamburger and another image of an order of fast-food french fries. Every photo had a corresponding letter. Above the picture, it read, “The building is burning and you can only save two. Which two do you save?”

As you can imagine, the comment section filled with the comment, “C and G” (the letters corresponding with the pictures of the hamburger and fries). Other statements, such as, “Let them burn!” were less passive.

Some people would see the post as a joke, something whose purpose was humor.

However, some people – this is how their hearts are – see a hamburger and fries as more valuable than human life. Political bantering has now turned into a physical fight.

In our nation today, we watch as cities burn. Fewer Americans are traveling than ever before. Partly because of the virus, partly because of fear – fear of getting caught up in a street riot or attacked by an angry mob. Organized civilian militia are forming and meeting rioters on the streets; shots have been fired. Some American cities more closely resemble Fallujah than the gleaming alabaster cities undimmed by human tears we used to sing about in “America the Beautiful.”

We have reached a point where Americans feel safer in Afghanistan and Iraq than they do in Chicago, Portland, Minneapolis, Seattle, and other cities.

America is not at a breaking point; it is worse than that. We are watching the volcano as it heads to an eruption. Steam is coming from the mountain as we see people assaulted because they refuse to raise a fist for a particular cause and other similar

America is not at a breaking point; it is worse than that. We are watching the volcano as it heads to an eruption. Steam is coming from the mountain as we see people assaulted because they refuse to raise a fist for a particular cause and other similar occurrences. We see small eruptions in the form of burning businesses, police stations, and government buildings, and citizens with guns colliding with rioters to stop the violence.

The volcano is fixing to blow. Will it be just a bunch of steam and ash, or will the entire mountain be blast into pieces?

How many people from both sides are willing to run into a burning building and rescue the $6 fast-food lunch while leaving fellow human beings with opposing views to burn? The fact that this is a legitimate question shows the magnitude of the coming erup-
