There\u2019s a new icon on the conservative right, and \u2063his name is Michael Cassidy.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Last week, the former military officer descended upon the \u200bIowa State Capitol, marched up to the obnoxious \u200cstatue of Baphomet (strategically placed by the Satanic Temple), pushed it to the ground, and aggressively decapitated it, discarding the \u2063head in a \u2063nearby trash can.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Cassidy made waves by actually doing what thousands and \u2062thousands of Americans have felt like\u2063 doing for a very long time. His actions embody decades \u2062of pent-up rage with a culture\u200d that brazenly celebrates evil \u200dand punishes anyone with \u200bthe audacity to resist it.<\/p>\n
Do I think this man is\u2062 a hero? No. I think he\u2019s a shrewd, opportunistic political\u2063 candidate who zeroed in on an exasperation shared \u2062by\u200b countless \u2064Americans, and I\u200c think he should expect to ride the wave \u200cof their newfound support all the way \u2063to the\u2062 polls.<\/strong><\/p>\n
But even though I think \u2064the antics were \u200dshort-sighted and\u2064 may ultimately\u200d prove detrimental to true religious liberty (because\u200b the entire\u200b point of erecting the statue was to evoke\u200c conservative\u2062 outrage that would lead to this kind of response, thereby forcing the powers-that-be\u2063 to forbid all religious displays, including the\u200b nativity scene, so Cassidy essentially \u2062played right into their hands), I think the most important thing to zero in on here is this: \u2062Americans crave boldness, and\u2063 they\u2019re desperate for leaders to model\u200b it. How the\u200c heck do you think we ended up \u2062with Donald Trump\u2063 in the White\u200c House?<\/strong><\/p>\n
Conservative frustration is at an all-time high \u2014 like Vesuvius about an hour before she flattened Pompeii. And a \u200clot of the frustration \u2064is justified.\u200d There is seemingly no egregious evil the left won\u2019t \u2063find a way to defend or deflect \u2062under the guise of\u200d human rights or the accusation \u2062of \u2064conservative pearl-clutching.\u2063 But here\u2019s the deal: We\u2019ve had enough. <\/p>\n
<\/div>\nWe are bone tired of being\u200d told \u200cwe\u200c are overreacting when we scream about the elective double mastectomies<\/a><\/a> that \u200bmoney-hungry butchers\u2064 perform on\u2063 quirky 13-year-old girls. We are done \u2014 and I\u2062 mean\u2062 DONE<\/strong> \u200d \u2014\u2062 playing\u200c the bad guy when \u2063we say it\u2019s \u2064not OK to perform vaginoplasties on minors<\/a>.<\/p>\n
There\u2019s\u2064 one study<\/a> \u2014 supported<\/a> by the National\u2064 Institutes of Health under Francis Collins, who always kisses up to the left\u2062 while managing to convince academic elites\u200c that he\u200d actually\u200d represents Jesus \u2014 that lowered the\u2063 cross-hormone\u2062 cohort \u2062inclusion criteria \u200cto age 8. The abominations never cease. But if you ask any of that academic-elite crowd about this,\u200d they will tell you Trump is a greater threat \u2063to democracy than any of this demonic filth that exploits children. It\u2019s madness.<\/p>\n
We \u200bare weary of reviewing our preteens\u2019 sex-ed\u2063 curriculum only to find gratuitous pornographic images, introductions to kink including \u200b \u201cblood play\u201d and fisting<\/a>, and how-to illustrations for \u2063friggin\u2019 fellatio.<\/p>\n
We\u2019re tired of having to explain that so-called \u201csex work,\u201d i.e. prostitution, is the world\u2019s oldest,\u2063 most demeaning, least empowering profession and \u2063that decriminalizing it will only\u200c create a \u200cmarket for it, thereby assuring its victims will increase exponentially. Nordic \u200bmodel, anyone?<\/a><\/p>\n
<\/div>\n
We\u2019re\u200c done being called prudes for the audacious belief that marriage actually means something important\u2062 to the health of a \u200bsociety, and we are not really interested in apologizing for our opposition to polyamory<\/a> or other legalized infidelity in marriage.<\/p>\n
We\u2019re done being called bigots\u200c for saying only \u200bwomen can give birth. We won\u2019t apologize for insisting that the people with the penises should use\u200c the\u2064 bathrooms \u200bwith the\u200b urinals: You \u200cdon\u2019t\u200c pee with\u2063 your\u200b identity.<\/p>\n
Elite universities will penalize you for \u201cmisgendering\u201d somebody, but apparently calling for\u200d the genocide of Jews needs more \u201ccontext\u201d<\/a> to determine whether it\u2019s a violation of the\u2062 student\u200b code \u200cof conduct. It\u2019s not right-wing Christian universities doing that crap. Safe spaces only exist for select people.<\/p>\n
Read Abigail Shrier\u2019s article in City Journal<\/a> about Scott \u2063Weiner and \u2064what that guy has done\u200b to California to\u2064 make it \u200da safe place for trafficking. He was the one \u2063working overtime to make it legal for 24-year-old men to have sex with 14-year-old boys without being put on the sex-offender registry. But\u200c people get absolutely furious if we \u2062dare to suggest that this \u200clooks pedophilic \u2014 because obviously this means we\u2019re really\u2063 just homophobic. Meanwhile, it makes all the religious right predictor folks\u2063 from the \u201990s look correct.<\/p>\n
While the left constantly talks about speaking up for\u200d the marginalized (a worthy goal for\u200d any decent human), they own all of the institutions that intentionally create more marginalized people. \u200dAnd\u200b no, \u200bit is not at all reasonable to\u2064 expect conservatives to sit idly by while leftists pass\u200d barbaric legislation allowing \u2063abortion up \u200bto birth and advocate for denying medical care to babies\u2062 born as \u200cthe result of botched abortions.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s not\u200d hard to understand why so many are so very, very frustrated. \u2064Just how much can we be reasonably expected to stand idly by and allow? The Iowa \u200cidol-smasher is resonating because \u200dpeople are tired of weakness. It \u2064didn\u2019t solve the problem, obviously, but it did<\/strong> reveal what people crave.<\/p>\n
Many reasonable Americans \u200c hate<\/strong> the\u200c evil that has gone\u200c unabated and are sick<\/strong> that leaders \u2062are so hapless and ineffective and \u201cnice.\u201d Like Trump, Michael Cassidy showed up and said, \u201cEnough. Not today, Satan. We aren\u2019t doing \u2062this anymore.\u201d<\/p>\n
For once, \u201cRepublican\u201d\u200b didn\u2019t\u200b mean \u201cpathetic.\u201d<\/p>\n
And that resonates \u2064with people, whether or not it\u2019s a \u200bwise long-term strategy<\/a>.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s simple: Conservatives don\u2019t have to be doormats to be loving. Sometimes the right thing to do is to stop enabling wickedness. When\u2064 you\u2062 stand up and say, \u201cEnough,\u201d you\u2062 embolden others to do the same. The work is a lot less frustrating and tedious\u2063 when \u200byou\u2019re \u2064not\u2063 doing it alone.<\/p>\n
Some days you \u200djust have to \u2063cut the head off the demon.<\/p>\n

What does \u2062the rise of Michael Cassidy \u200dsignify in terms of Americans’ deep-seated desire<\/a> for leaders who embody boldness in challenging the prevailing narrative?<\/h2>\n
\u2062 Title: Americans Crave Boldness: The Rise of Michael Cassidy and Conservative Frustration<\/p>\n
Introduction:<\/p>\n
In \u200crecent times, a new figure\u200b has emerged on\u200d the conservative right, captivating the\u2064 attention of many. His \u200bname \u200dis Michael Cassidy. Last week, Cassidy made headlines\u2064 when he took\u200c matters into his own hands at the Iowa State Capitol, symbolically protesting the controversial \u2062statue of Baphomet installed by the Satanic Temple. By forcibly \u2064toppling and decapitating the statue, \u2062Cassidy demonstrated \u2064what countless \u2064Americans have longed to do. While his actions may not make him \u200ba hero in everyone’s eyes, they \u200ccertainly reflect the deep frustration felt\u200c by many Americans towards a culture that seemingly celebrates evil and punishes those who resist it. In this article, we explore the implications of Cassidy’s actions \u200dand the underlying discontent among conservatives.<\/p>\n
Conservative Frustration:<\/p>\n
Cassidy’s bold actions strike a resonant chord with Americans who are exhausted\u200c by the increasing liberal\u2063 dominance in society. Whether it be fierce debates \u200csurrounding issues like elective double mastectomies for young girls or the controversial practice of vaginoplasties on minors, conservatives\u2064 find themselves at odds with a culture that appears to defend and deflect any\u2062 criticism under the guise \u200bof human rights or by accusing\u200c conservatives of overreacting. This frustration\u200d has\u2063 reached \u2063an unprecedented level, resembling the\u2063 dormant volcano \u200cVesuvius before the catastrophic eruption that destroyed \u200dPompeii.<\/p>\n
Craving Boldness:<\/p>\n
What Michael\u200c Cassidy’s actions highlight is the deep-seated desire among Americans for leaders\u200b who embody boldness.\u200b Whether \u2063one \u2063agrees with his methods or not, there is \u200can undeniable hunger for leaders who are willing to confront the prevailing narrative, as evidenced by the\u2063 election of Donald Trump. Trump, with\u200d his unapologetic and unconventional approach, resonated\u2064 with many who\u200d felt ignored and maligned by the establishment. The rise of Michael Cassidy\u200b could\u200d be seen as a response to this yearning for bold leadership.<\/p>\n
The Battle for Traditional Values:<\/p>\n
The\u200b frustration felt among conservatives extends beyond specific issues\u200b and delves into a broader\u200b ideological battle. Traditional values, such \u2064as the \u2063importance of marriage and the biological realities of gender, are often dismissed\u2063 as \u200darchaic or bigoted in today’s society. \u2062The reluctance to apologize for opposing polyamory or questioning the \u2063idea that only women can give birth has\u2064 resulted in conservatives\u2063 being labeled as \u200dintolerant or backward. Furthermore, the \u200d apparent hypocrisy surrounding<\/a>\u2063 the\u2064 protection of certain groups, \u200bwhile\u2062 others are subjected to discrimination and even violence, further accentuates the frustrations \u2062felt\u200b by conservatives.<\/p>\n
Conclusion:<\/p>\n
The emergence of Michael Cassidy on the conservative right signifies the deep yearning for \u2062bold\u2062 leadership and a\u2063 pushback against cultural \u2062narratives\u200c that\u200d seem to undermine traditional values<\/a>. While some may\u200d question the effectiveness or wisdom of \u200bhis actions, they serve as a catalyst for discussion and \u2064introspection. It is important to recognize \u2062and \u2064understand the frustrations of \u200cconservatives in\u200d order to foster dialogue and work towards a society that \u200backnowledges\u2062 diverse perspectives while upholding fundamental principles. Ultimately, Americans crave leaders who have the courage to challenge the status quo and inspire change.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
