You’d think that our nation would truly be against crime and would take every step possible to protect our children. We live in a nation with well over four million female victims of violent assaults each year, and where over half of all rapes are of women under the age of eighteen. Surely, such a nation would be “anti-crime.” But we aren’t. We merely pay lip service to the idea, and have turned it into a slogan.

Each year, little bodies are discovered in fields, lakes, in abandoned buildings, drainage ditches, in stranger’s cars and stranger’s homes, and collectively, we moan and groan and weep and howl and rage over each incident, and we also struggle to resist the fear that trickles deep down into our minds. But frankly, unless the grave is one we must visit, after a period of time, our anger fades, and the enormity of the evil that visited our nation and community, fades from our mind.

Every community has buried its share of precious souls, bright little lights who could not comprehend the sudden evil that came upon them in the form of a human who didn’t look like Freddie Krueger, but played his part with chilling accuracy. If only the monsters who are killing our children looked like Freddie, but sadly, they usually don’t look like devils.

Worse, our nightmares aren’t confined to Elm Street any more. They’re in our neighborhoods stalking our children. You know. The ones who depend upon us to defend them. They are stalking your kids.

I suggest that you…and me, nationally, collectively, are to blame for their harm.
Ah, the glory of ignorance. We have lived in a bliss of tolerance to the monsters that we were creating. We’ve paraded, marched, sloganed our backs and cars, and even our children, all in support of alleged libertarians fighting for “free speech.” I suggest that our unrestrained, amoral support has led us to render tortured legal definitions of that term (free speech), which has led us down a path that is killing our us and our future.

We’re helping murder our own children.

We’ve watched while self-styled “free speech advocates” echoed their bold defiance in our court rooms across the country, and hawked their rights of freedom of speech, whilst holding perverted, warped and twisted material in their brief cases, calling it “protected speech.” And as a result, our land is now flooded with movies and magazines depicting sexual perversions, and enacting violent acts, most often against women and children. Our nation’s courts went along with this perverted sense of “free speech,” and today, we are awash in filth.

Incredibly, though, the American public continues to buy tickets and rent the movies to watch the perversions, the rapes, the homocides, the horrors and nightmares enacted for our special “benefit,” our “pleasure,” if you please.

I suggest that the “protected speech” the ACLU and others have “defended” has brought more horror to our communities than freedom. I suggest that the movie industry and its outlets have created some real Freddie Kruegers. Oh, it was not their intent. Their intent is to make money. Thus, they don’t count the bodies. Just the money.

If you think not, then you disagree with some pretty smart business men. They demonstrate their belief in my statement every day of the year, and show it by funneling billions of dollars into the stream of commerce of the world. They pay to promote their wares. They pay a lot of money for a few seconds of time, a few ticks of the clock.

Advertising works.

Their dollars prove it.

If you don’t think the deluge of sexual material and violence hammering the psyche of every weak mind out there is not affecting the attitudes and behaviour of such people, you simply aren’t in the real world. We’re feeding monsters. Indeed, we are creating them. And, they’re getting younger and younger. We now have children monsters murdering children.

Follow the logic. If a few seconds of an ad will affect the mind of an individual, i.e., will influence that mind and in some way predispose it to buy a product, then what do you think an hour long advertisement for murder and violence is doing to millions of impressionable minds? Some of those minds are weak, some are already sick, already on the edge. But, in the name of Freedom of Speech, we continue to permit the producers of all manner of evil to bombard our society with gigantic advertisements for violence, mahem, sex and crime. Worse, we support the industry by buying, renting and watching their criminal advertising.

And when the ads work, when the violent games and videos and movies and books and magazines really do their thing, really impact the psyche of a weak mind, we weep and wail, do the body counts, and rhetorically ask “Why?”

What utter fools we’ve become.

We have a choice: Protect violence and sexual perversion or protect our children and ourselves. It really is that simple. If you want to continue to support the porn industry which denigrates women, and the movie industry that glamorizes sex, violence and perversions against others, particularly women, and if you want to continue to give dollars to a cause that does not care that your child may become a victim of a perverted mind, well, I can only hope the body count does not one day include you or one of yours.

Have you ever seriously thought about that?
