What a week.

As per usual, President Joe Biden’s State of the Union “speech” was an incoherent mishmash of inane nonsense, manufactured hysteria, irrelevance and outright lies.

Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders provided a hard-hitting, no-nonsense response that went after the worst excesses being inflicted on the country

“Whether Joe Biden believes this madness or is simply too weak to resist it,” Sanders said, “this administration has been completely hijacked by the radical left.” She drove the point home with one of her best barbs: “The dividing line in America is no longer between right or left. The choice is between normal or crazy.”

Kudos to the governor for saying what millions of Americans have been thinking for quite some time now.

This is good versus evil.

It isn’t just Biden’s deeply destructive policies, or the Olympic-level gymnastics our profoundly deceitful press engages in to pretend that his bald-faced lies are the truth.

It’s everywhere.

U.S. Sen. Ed Markey, D-Mass., tweeted a “thumbs up” photo of himself headed to the State of the Union Address, sporting a pin that was the word “Abortion” with a cut-out heart for the first “o” in the word; a gift from Planned Parenthood. “Abortion is essential health care,” Markey’s tweet read, “and we need to codify this right.”

Celebrating the destruction of our own children — including full-term babies in utero — is not just “crazy”; it is evil.

Every day, the Twitter account Libs of TikTok exposes more of the attitudes and actions of so-called progressives — often teachers with the responsibility for shaping young minds — who are exposing children to their own sexual predilections, their gender confusion and their insecurities about their own identities, and demanding that children be forced to “accept” it all as part of their “education.” That is not education; it is indoctrination.

Query: Do you think that the arguments pushing “gender transition” of children over the objection or without the knowledge of their parents will not be also used to justify covert sexual activity with children if the law and cultural mores move in that direction?

This isn’t just “crazy”; it is evil.

With disturbing frequency, the “radical left” Sanders referenced in her speech is honest about the side it has taken. One need look no further than this week’s Grammy Awards. Award nominees Sam Smith and Kim Petras performed their duet titled (wait for it …) “Unholy,” complete with ominous red lighting and dancers writhing amid flames. Smith was dressed like Satan in a red cape and top hat with horns.

And in a bit of irony that couldn’t be scripted, Smith’s performance was followed by a commercial break with the tagline, “the Grammy Awards are sponsored by Pfizer.”

Sanders said, “Most Americans simply want to live their lives in freedom and peace, but we are under attack in a left-wing culture war we didn’t start and never wanted to fight.”

True. But our reservation and restraint have been our undoing. We may not have wanted this battle, but we are in it now, and our only choices now are to fight or to surrender.

In 1867, John Stuart Mill said: “Let not any one pacify his conscience by the delusion that he can do no harm if he takes no part, and forms no opinion. Bad men need nothing more to compass their ends, than that good men should look on and do nothing.”

We must not surrender. We’ve been “doing nothing” for too long.
