The Mafia And the Media

The Mafia, the Left-Wing Media and Islam all share a common trait.  You can join up, but you can never leave.

In Canada today, we are aware of the vicious unrelenting media attacks against Senators Pamela Wallin and Mike Duffy.  From insider media darlings to pariahs overnight for choosing the high road in life and politics.

Toronto Mayor Rob Ford was groomed by his benefactors and bolted to law and order at painful expense to himself and his family.  Even the Catholic school where he served has abandoned him over unproven media speculation.

It is little solace to realize that greater than these have come from Mafia roots and paid the price for their efforts to clean up the world.  John and Robert Kennedy are notable for their stubborn determination to swim against the parochial current.  Canadian Prime Minister Brian Mulroney was groomed and then pummeled for his efforts, and Martin Luther King paid the price for his refusal to bend to forces unknown.

The road to the Cross is narrow and steep. Evil struggles to overtake us.  Criminals are apparently blind to the fact that history repeatedly shows evil totally consuming evil once it gains the upper hand.  It is sad to watch our best and our brightest ensnared in the maelstrom.
