It seems to be in the nature of evil that it is not only destructive, but self-destructive as well. An obvious example would be the Muslim suicide bombers who are forever asking “Why is it so hot here? And why are my virgins so ugly?” Islam is a death cult, its followers so twisted by hate that they seek to destroy, not just everyone who does not agree with them, but themselves as well. But the allies and facilitators of Islam are the leftists, and they, too, and all the groups they support, are self-destructive.

The baby butchers, for example, defend abortion by implying that the child in the womb is not a separate person, but part of the mother’s body, and insisting that women’s bodies should be controlled by themselves and no one else. Women, they say, have a right to choose — so long as they choose to murder their infants. But if the child is merely part of the mother’s body, is not abortion a form of self-mutilation? Since Roe vs. Wade in 1973, some 58,000,000 babies have been murdered in the U.S. alone, and over one billion worldwide. This is an appalling death toll, surpassing even the “achievements” of Hitler and Stalin. If we count only the infants murdered after the first trimester, babies who are beginning to look like the little people they are, Americans have killed six million, equal to Hitler’s murder of the Jews. Worldwide, the total after the first trimester is 100 million. Aside from the near-unforgiveable evil of this ultimate betrayal of children by their mothers, what have these women done to themselves?

Leftists worship homosexuals and lesbians; many leftists are themselves sexual perverts. Just over two percent of the population, a shrill, strident, demanding minority, seek to overturn Judeo-Christian morality and destroy marriage and the family, a cherished goal of the left since the time of Adam Weishaupt. Homosexuals are portrayed as gentle souls, free of the “hang ups” of traditional machismo. The facts paint a different picture — but leftists have no use for facts. Aside from their penchant for sadomasochism and domestic violence, it is noteworthy that a disproportionate number of homosexuals have been among America’s worst serial killers. Jeffrey Dahmer, pervert and cannibal, killed some 17 men, and ate parts of them. John Wayne Gacy raped, tortured, and murdered at least 33 young men and boys. Call me old fashioned, but I don’t quite approve of the slow torture murder of teenage boys. Dean Corll did the same for at least 27 young boys — did they cry out for their mothers as their agonized screams became exhausted sobs and moans? But hey, who are we to judge, right? Bisexual Henry Lee Lucas boasted of hundreds of murders, but may have killed “only” a handful of people. Juan Corona raped and murdered at least 25 men. At least one of the known female serial killers, Aileen Wornos, was a lesbian; information on most of them is unavailable. I personally interviewed one, Dorothea Puente, but I cannot say if she was lesbian or straight.

But these gentle, persecuted saints not only harm others; they are extremely self-destructive. Their rates of drug abuse, alcoholism, and suicide are far above average, and their average life span is far below. In addition to AIDS, these carelessly promiscuous people suffer from a host of other STDs, as well as gay bowel syndrome and fecal contamination. Who would have guessed?

But when it comes to outright self-mutilation, the transsexuals are the champions; they are adored by leftists and their self-destruction will be financed by our King Hussein’s “health care” plan, which, ultimately, will leave the elderly, the disabled, and the chronically ill to die (to save money, don’t you know). There have always been men who imagined that they were women, and women who wanted to be men, and castration was always possible for the men. But the first real male to female surgery was carried out in Berlin in 1931 (two years before Hitler came to power). The enlightened Mullahs of Iran have given sex change operations their blessing. In the US the procedure is called sex reassignment surgery (SRS), and includes genital reconstruction surgery (GRS). In 2008 the American Medical Association’s House of Delegates declared that it would be “discrimination” for any doctor to refuse to perform such an operation, and the American Psychological Association (you know, the people who prescribe dangerous psychoactive drugs for children) agrees. The AMA advocated that public health plans should pay for the procedure, and Obamacare will do just that. Of course, the new “men” cannot make a woman pregnant, and the new “women” cannot bear children, and, as with the “gays,” suicide is common among these mutilated creatures.

But even newer frontiers are opening up. The latest group who will soon have special rights and protection are the “transabled,” physically healthy people who want to be crippled, blind, or paralyzed. And there are plenty of doctors who seem to have no use for the “do no harm” part of the Hippocratic Oath. How long before this, too, is covered by Obamacare? How long before medical facilities and doctors will be forced to perform the amputations and eye-gougings, and the severing of nerves? How long before the self-mutilated are entitled to lifetime disability benefits?

And the current craze for tattoos, piercings, burnings, and even major plastic surgery to make people look like (for example) cats is part of this. I am old enough to remember when few men and almost no women were tattooed; now it is common for formerly attractive young women to be covered in ink and have multiple body parts pierced. No studies have been done, but I suspect that most of these people are Obama supporters. Just a hunch. Such is the engineered decline of Western Civilization that Americans increasingly resemble primitive tribal people from the Amazon or the Congo, the people with lip plugs, deformed ears, and wooden duck bills. And — count on it — this is just the beginning.
