Democrats Are Making a New Martyr

The opinions expressed by columnists are their own and do not necessarily represent the views of Townhall.com.

It’s weird to watch myth-making in real time. It’s weirder to watch the making of a martyr. Renee Good may well have been a lot of things, but a martyr is not one of them. But Democrats need her as a concept, so reality does not matter – the left-wing myth-making machine is in full effect.

Democrats have always needed and created martyrs; it’s easier than making a case. Why try to argue logic, especially when it’s not on your side, when you can get people worked up emotionally? People in an emotional state are easy to manipulate, as emotion overrides logic every time. Which makes it easy for Democrats since literally none of their drone army has the capacity for logic.

How else could you describe a woman out harassing federal law enforcement agents as “writer, a wife, and a mother”? Have you read her “poetry”? It’s crap. Sorry, but it is crap.

Her “award winning” poem is titled, “On Learning to Dissect Fetal Pigs.” I won’t bore you with the whole toilet’s worth of words; you can read it for yourself here. But it ends with, “now i can’t believe—that the bible and qur’an and bhagavad gita are sliding long hairs behind my ear like mom used to and exhaling from their mouths “make room for wonder”— all my understanding dribbles down the chin onto the chest and is summarized as: life is merely to ovum and sperm and where those two meet and how often and how well and what dies there.”

I didn’t change anything, edit or alter it, that’s exactly as it was published. If you found a note in your child’s room like this, either in content or grammar and punctuation (or, horrifyingly, both), you’d need to get them mental health help while filing a lawsuit against every institution and person who was supposed to educate them, as they failed miserably.

Good is described as a mother of one kid or three kids, and I can’t find any explanation as to why in any news stories. A friend told me she’d heard the one kid lived with her and her wife because the father, one of her ex-husbands, died. But the other two kids lived with their father, the second ex-husband. There is speculation and rumors about why that would be, if it in fact is, but I can’t find any reporting on it, so I won’t repeat it here because I don’t know if it’s true and I ignored it because it doesn’t make her look good or it’s just one of those Internet lies in the age of AI.

Whatever the case, Good was not a good person, in my opinion. I’m not speaking ill of the dead; I’m pointing out my firm belief that anyone who spends their time attempting to provoke police, obstructing law enforcement, or goes out and advocates for left-wing causes is a bad person. When her wife yelled, “Drive, baby, drive,” with the ICE agent in front of the car, Renee did what every “good” Democrat does: she obeyed.

She should not have tried to run over the officer, but she was used to getting away with a**hattery, as all leftists are. Most times it works out for them, but this time it did not. Were the car not on ice, the flooring of the gas pedal would have, at a minimum, ripped the car forward so fast that the officer would not have had time to defend himself and he either would have been run over (his feet slid on the same ice as she hit him, without that he would’ve been knocked down and likely run over, probably killed) or he would have bounced off the bumper and been thrown clear, only being more seriously injured than he was because the car would’ve been going faster. Either way, Good would still be alive.

She chose to be stupid, and stupidity is key to liberal martyrdom.

George Floyd was stupid, not only because he was a junkie, but because he chose to consume a fatal amount of fentanyl and try to pass off counterfeit money. His whole life, he’d gotten away with being a stupid junkie; he had no reason to suspect that day would be any different.

Renee Good was part of a left-wing mob that has been getting away with their lawlessness for years, thanks to Democrat prosecutors who refuse to pursue charges against their Brownshirts. She likely had been trained and conditioned to believe the worst she would ever face was a small fine and a couple of hours in custody. She found out just how wrong that can be.

The officer was completely justified in his actions – this is suicide by stupidity. And now she will have her name carved onto the long list of idiots who simply refused to comply with a lawful order or decided they were above consequences and decided to attack police. A new martyr on Mount Moron, on the eastern side of the “It Didn’t Have To Be This Way” mountains, next to other liberal false martyrs like thug Michael Brown and drug dealer Matthew Shepard.

Congratulations, Democrats, you’ve got yourself another fake martyr. Maybe you guys could prove you actually care about these people by advocating for “social justice actions” that don’t lead to them getting killed? Just kidding, we know that isn’t about to happen.
