CityPages squawks about Dean, “He’s hidden in plain sight behind Captain America in this photo from the rally.” One can imagine the editors and writers, gleefully yucking it up over a Skype conference call, peering at photo after photo, looking for Dean like a gold nugget. They knew about his appearance because he was invited to speak at the event, thus drawing their thunderbolts of anger. In fact, Dean’s tall stature and long hair are very hard to make out in the crowd; but I guess you could say that he’s there.
Not
too long ago, when I lived in Chicago, I read a horrifying story about
an eight-year-old boy who was shot to death a few blocks from where I
lived.
It was one of those deeply disturbing stories, very
sobering to a suburban-raised guy like me, especially since the boy was
simply sitting in his car with his dad at the time.
His father had been driving down a busy street; and the
boy, seeing newly-fallen snow, begged his dad to pull over so he could
play in the white stuff. It was 10 pm; and the dad, wanting to please
his son, gave in to his son’s wishes. They didn’t know it then; but when
they parked in front of a public school, they had pulled up directly
behind a car full of gang members.
One of the gang, apparently fearing that an enemy was out
to get them, jumped out of the car, stepped close, and shot the boy
through the windshield.
Violence Begets Paranoia
We all hear about gang violence, but the untold story here
is that the practice of evil twists one’s perception of others. When you
kill others, you fear retribution. When you’ve unjustly committed some
crime, you see in everyone else’s motives some hidden agenda against
you. Thus, gang members are always looking over their shoulders at
everyone passing by, hands in their pocket, gripping a gun, ready to
fire.
In the book of Genesis, after Cain slew Abel, he said, “I
shall be a fugitive and a vagabond in the earth; and it shall come to
pass, that every one that findeth me shall slay me.” (Gen. 4:14) Cain,
the murderer, feared the vengeance of others. He knew and feared that
his act would draw others’ anger.
CityPages Rant
This type of anger might be what’s behind the recent rant
of the leftist publication CityPages, in asking its readers to look for
Christian preacher and rock musician Bradlee Dean in a photo it
published. In a headline that screamed, “Can you spot Bradlee Dean in
this photo…,” the Minneapolis-based alternative newspaper drew attention
to a Nov. 19 conservative event in Washington DC called Reclaim America Now.
Dean is a drummer for the band Junkyard Prophet and a public speaker who brings his message of respect for the Constitution
and for America’s founding Biblical values to others. The fact that
he’s getting through to the young people of this country is unsettling
to leftist publications like CityPages, whose hatred of the proper
respect for sexuality is mingled with normal features likes sports and
restaurant reviews – all in an attempt to make its perverted agenda
appear honorable.
Seeing Ghosts
Like gang members, or Cain, these writers see the ghosts of
their enemies around every corner, under every rock — in every patriot
rally. Shakespeare’s Lady Macbeth cries, “Out, damned spot!” at the
imaginary blood stains on her hand after she has conspired with her
husband to murder the king of Scotland.
Reclaim America Now’s organizer Larry Klayman has drawn the
ire of CityPages, too. The website showcased the conservative lawyer’s
divorce proceedings and made some outrageously false claims against him.
Klayman is now suing the paper. Dean himself is suing CityPages, MSNBC, and Rachel Maddow for $50 million
for defamation after their inflammatory and false statements were
followed by anonymous death threats to Dean’s staff and family. Folks,
aren’t these the real “hate crimes”?
Dean’s ministry and nationally-syndicated radio program can be followed at Sons of Liberty Radio. Why not like Bradlee Dean on his Facebook page?
