Democrats are cheering on the Ukrainians in their war against Russia following the invasion of Vladimir Putin’s troops last week.

In particular, Democrats — as are most Republicans — tout Ukrainians’ sense of pride and nationalism, noting that they are ‘standing up and fighting for their country’ in a way that is truly inspiring.

In addition, Democrats cheered when news broke that the Ukrainian national government as well as many local leaders were passing out fully automatic rifles to their citizens and encouraging them to use those firearms to defend their homes.

If only these same Democrats felt that way about their own citizens — Americans who are equally prideful and proud of their country — instead of holding them up for ridicule, derision, mistrust and disdain. If only these same Democrats revered our Second Amendment the way they revere Ukrainians taking up arms in self-defense.

“One of the most fascinating developments over the past week has been watching political pundits and social commentators celebrate virtues in Ukraine, from armed resistance to national loyalty, that are frequently criticized in America,” Delano Squires writes in an op-ed published this week at The Blaze.

“My sense is that the ruling class assumes our citizens would have the same response to a hostile foreign invasion. They may be right, but the biblical principle of sowing and reaping suggests a very different outcome,” Squires added.

He went on to cite a tweet from taxpayer-subsidized NPR which referenced the war in Ukraine and suggested ways Americans bothered by it could “cope.” 

“Russia’s attack on Ukraine means there’s a stressful news cycle ahead of us. The reality of conflict is always a shock to the system. Here are 5 ways to cope,” the ridiculous tweet said.

Squires noted:

The entire thread was completely on-brand for NPR, from the thumbnail illustration of an androgynous person of color laying in the fetal position to the language of personal therapy emanating from the subsequent tweets.

It was an easy alley-oop for the conservatives on Twitter who shared the post to the followers, but the post was an important snapshot of the character traits being cultivated in our society.

Specifically, Americans are too pampered, too shielded, and too unaccustomed to the bona fides of the world in which we live that many — most? — have a distorted and unrealistic view and thus would legitimately be unable to handle a similar situation facing Ukraine.

And worse, our people have been programmed to behave like that following decades of successive left-wing attacks on the American psyche and social fabric.

Everything is an ‘issue.’ Every word has to be measured to ensure it doesn’t hurt anyone’s feelings. Feelings — even those of a tiny minority — have become far more important than the constitutional guarantees of free speech and expression.
