William Barr's Speech at Notre Dame Analyzed

Attorney General William 'Bill' Barr gave a speech at Notre Dame that is, predictably, considered to be wildly controversial by leftists. Radical far leftwingers have referred to the speech as 'unhinged', 'bizarre', 'disturbing', 'inaccurate', 'dangerous', and far too many other nonsensical aspersions to be covered here.

Here, I dismiss the banal concerns of the secular and increasingly violent left and get into real analysis of what Barr said and what he meant. Various figures and outlets on the right have proclaimed Barr's speech to be almost entirely about religious freedom, which is indeed one focus of the speech, but there are many others as well. What remains to be seen is whether or not Barr will actually put action behind the words.

Although the left flops around in hysterics at a speech that merely offers vocal opposition to their rapacious destruction of religious liberty, all too many times the political right is placated by speeches. Speeches are not enough at this point. More must be done and must come from those in positions such as Barr in order to restore moral hope for America.

The fruits of secular leftism are clear: large gleaming and beautiful corporate buildings whose power reaches directly into the capitol and capitals of leftist cities across the nation, increased crime, decreased prosecution for so-called crimes of poverty, rampant drug abuse, poo in the streets, an increasing homeless population problem, drug needles all over the streets and sidewalks where children must walk, high city and state debts, and higher taxes.

More and more Americans are starting to ask themselves if that is what they want for their future. And more are coming to reject that outcome.
