Who Pays The Price? - The Rape of Innocents

I'm on a rant!  it's a deep thinking rant.  What is an innocent human life worth in this day and age? Why are we surprised at the Penn State child abuse scandal? Since the Roe v Wade decision, the value of innocent life has disappeared in America and most of the"once" civilized world.

When a mother can have her own child violently destroyed and ripped from her own body, why are we surprised to hear of children being murdered by their own parents, and stories like the Penn State child sex-abuse scandal?

Abortion has affected our society in so many ways, it's getting hard to keep track. The Penn State scandal, is a really sad indication of something that most of us keep wanting to avoid.  That is, you cannot disrespect one innocent life, without losing the respect for all innocents.

Children have become commodities to be bought and sold by the sperm and egg donation mentality of today. And how does one look at a commodity?  It's something that is expendable, or even disposable, and certainly only there for the mere satisfaction and gratification of it's owner and others, such as those who are supposed to be  caring for the owner's property, such as a priest, minister, teacher or coach.  

So let's look at the Penn State scandal in light of this hedonistic attitude and summarize the scandal. An icon at Penn State has been accused of covering up and failing to report pedophilia in the football locker room.  The icon we're talking about has been a head coach of the Nittanny Lions from 1966 through 2011.  In fact, he holds the record for the most victories by an FBS footbatll coach. He coached 5 undefeated teams that won major ball games, and in 2007 was inducted into the college Hall of Fame. Imagine the $$$$$$ to the University from such a sterling career.  So what was really being protected here with this cover up?

I won't bore you with grissly details of who did what to whom, suffice it to say, the entire coaching staff led by JoePa, failed at a fundamental level to protect an innocent 10 yr. old child from being sodomized.  Moreover, Joe Paterno himself is a deeply devoted Catholic family man, who is well known for his devotion to and love for his own children and granchildren.  In fact, his nickname on campus and especially used by all of his players, ages 18 thru 25, was JoePa.  Wow!  What a father figure JoePa has turned out to be. 


Forgive me, but this reminds me of the Nazis in World War II Germany, who had great fraternal love and devotion for their own children, while at the same time, could cold bloodily, without any feeling whatsoever, brutally torture and murder millions of other parent's children in the Holocaust.  Think this is too harsh a correlation?   I don't.   What does it take for this kind of disregard of another man's children?


Well, we've already said that the abortion mentality has certainly led to a decrease in the value of innocent life, but there is another element here.  Remember the age old Gladiator mentality of the ancient Greek and Roman Empires.  We have reverted to the same pagan hedonistic worship of "The Games". All other considerations are forfeit.


Our sports players and coaches are paid obscene amounts of money, more than doctors and scientific researchers!  Everyone loved OJ Simpson.  No one wanted to believe anything bad about the guy ... even when he brutally murdered his wife and another man ... and at the end of the day, he was found innocent!  Other sports players who have raped women, and even if found guilty in our court system, were still deemed innocent in the court of public opinion.  Let's face it, it's the good ol boy system.  And in the court of public opinion, once again, Joe Paterno is being deemed a martyr, as rioters protest his being fired.


Just as in the court of public opinion, abortion is deemed an acceptable personal choice ... simply a matter between a woman and her doctor ... never mind that she very rarely sees the doctor ...  now, watching the Friday night riot on Penn State's campus, in protest of JoePas demise as head coach, I'm not surprised that abortion has remained legal for 38 years.  With the attitude exhibited by the rioters and the press, it would now seem that the sodomy of children is also  acceptable behavior in the court of public opinion ... just a matter between a young boy and his coach.  And this leads to another element. That being the overwhelming acceptance of the homosexual proclivity.



Ok, at the risk of being a be a bit of a gay-basher here, let's be honest. It's not heterosexual pedophilia we are talking about. But, again, that's another taboo subject.  One cannot call a spade a spade, at all, anymore in this society.  We are so politically correct, that we're willing to sacrifice innocents in and outside of the womb. 

Any society where morality declines and reverts to barbarism, who pays the price?
