Socialism destroys language – and thought: Ultimately, even the language is perverted. All the most treasured virtues, such as “freedom,” “justice,” “law,” “right,” “equality,” etc., are redefined for collectivist purposes, so that even thought can be controlled.”

– Friedrich Hayek, The Road to Serfdom.

Serfdom? Hell, Ireland has been dead since 1700 (or thereabouts) when the Penal Laws were enacted.
And if they alone didn't kill Ireland, the Great Famine of 1845-1850 surely did.
The best and bravest left Ireland 150 years ago.

Anyone who thinks Ireland is that wee quaint Emerald Isle of their imaginations is uninformed. The Irish regularly squander any good thing that comes their way in their slavish desire for a post-modern, Socialist easy life.

Now they have flushed whatever blessings God may have bestowed upon them in the past in favor of perversion. They have learned nothing from the priest child-molestation scandals that are still going on.

It is one thing to want everyone to be equal and happy~~
but, at the price of Christian persecution?
Which is the main goal of these “progressives”.

It is an Abomination.

No other way to look at it.

Their “Potato (e)” famine has turned into an intellectual famine of cosmic proportions. God Save the Irish!

Another step toward the progressie left’s version of utopia and the extermination of all who do not agree with them. Persecution and imprisonment of Christians for thought crimes will follow soon.

The hallmark of socialism is cynicism in the end all is corrupted. To understand how it works, how good becomes evil and evil good, one can read the Bible or one can read Dostoevsky.

No worries, the muslims will fill the spiritual emptiness left by the catholic church’s surrender to secular morality.

Ayn Rand warned that corruption of language is a primary tool of the collectivists. It should be obvious to anyone by now that she knew exactly what she was writing about. To a liberal the word “compassionate” means being willing to take your money from you to give to someone, perhaps the same liberal, who has not worked for it. It has nothing to do with the liberal actually giving his time or money to help someone. If you, on the other hand, object to having your money taken from you then YOU are “lacking compassion”. If you have money that you have not already spent on the necessities of life then you “have won life’s lottery” and should be happy to give most of your “winnings” away. That is of course unless YOU are a liberal and then it is okay for you to keep your winnings. It would be hilarious if it were not so evil.

Exactly.....Controlling Language and Words can control the proper perceptions and the emotions of the children. That is what the Leftists have been doing for a century-—”progressing” us into total slavery.

Destroying Language (meaning of words like “marriage”) makes it impossible for children to understand Traditions and Ideologies and the Theology of the past generations-—BUT, more importantly, it forces children to remain ignorant of all the most profound ideas of Western Civilization, so all the ideas which created the Age of Reason and Modern Science and USA——can be eliminated, and impossible to grasp, so children will only have tribal minds as adults.

They will be “happy slaves” as the Marxist Atheists planned with John Dewey and the operant conditioning of the public school indoctrination system which removes children from their biological parents-—and allows the perverts and evil atheists (the godless) to form their worldview and shape their emotions-—binds it to concepts-—like sodomizing others is “good”-—take “Pride” in it.

This system was installed one hundred years ago to destroy Right Reason and Logic (understanding of Natural Law Theory (Locke/Adam Smith) so that minds like the Founders will be impossible.

They will be happy with their crumbs and obamaphones as they are totally controlled-—all their ideas are totally controlled by the few elite masters who will make the masses so irrational they will actually believe (like the Incas) that slavery is “Good”. “Happy Slaves” who actually believe “snow is black” and boys are girls or any absurd thing with throws out Reason and the ability to be critical Thinkers.

The Leftists with TV and artificial systems which remove children from the family unit and Real Life experiences are embedding dependency and destroying biological bonding and removing mature, moral examples from the children——and inculcating evil, base desires by hyper-sexualization of young children which warps their desires and their emotions and makes it impossible to Mature and use Reason——they will remain “group thinkers”-—only “emotional” tribal minds——who are incapable of abstract thought and remain dependent on what the Pop Culture dictates is “Good”-—like sodomizing others and using others in vile, dehumanizing ways to create minds like the Nazi Brownshirts.

Without Virtue, Freedom is impossible. Inculcating Vice—particularly destroying all sexual morality and Reason/Logic in Just Law (which homosexual “marriage” does) —making a vile, evil, dehumanizing behavior “good” is the easiest way to destroy a civilization, so totalitarianism is the only possible system of “control”.

All homosexual cultures were brutal, sexist and used boys for sexual recreation. They are totally irrational and evil and their evil use of the children perpetuate the behaviors (which are learned by child abuse and neglect). Our “Justice” System will be a “Vice System”. As Montesquieu stated, all Republics have to promote “public virtue” always. Sodomy can never be a virtue.

Add “marriage”, “rain forest” for jungle, “homeless” for bum, “undocumented worker” for illegal alien, “climate change” for global warming, and so on...

What a sad, sad day for Ireland, and for the whole world. We need prayer.

Here is some prayerful and contemplative music for this sad day.

    Nearer My God To Thee

    If We Ever Needed the Lord Before We Sure Do Need Him Now

    I Need Thee Every Hour

    God Walks the Dark Hills

    Abide With Me

    Faith Of Our Fathers

    How Great Thou Art

    O Lord Most Holy

    All Things Are Possible

    Holy God, We Praise Thy Name

For a glimpse into how the new Islamic rulers will look at this vote when Sharia Law comes to Europe, hold your nose and watch this clip of a notorious Muslim, discussing this issue:

    "Farrakhan responds to Pres. Obama endorsing Gay marriage"

(Remember, I warned you to hold your nose when you watch it!)

Our ancestors in Ireland had serfdom imposed upon them forcefully by outside invaders. They eventually arose and cast it off.

Looks like they may slide back into it, voluntarily this time.
