Are we headed towards cultural doom?

It is clear that the left is trying to tear down Western Civilization. I am not sure what their vision of utopia is, but I know I don’t want to be there.

[HighSierra5]

Yes. Anymore questions?

Slaves don’t dram about freedom. Slaves dream about becoming the master.

[jdsteel]

America was made by rebels, and most still are at heart. Democrats have gone from boiling the frog slowly to turning up the heat all the way.

I predict a backlash.

[RoosterRedux]

Their vision of utopia is plain old totalitarianism (all this communist crap is only a front).

The Ruling Elite (queens, kings, dukes, and earls of yesteryear) called. They want their thrones and fiefs back.

[MtnClimber]

Yep, they would rather rule over ruins than participate in prosperity.

“Power is not a means; it is an end. One does not establish a dictatorship in order to safeguard a revolution; one makes the revolution in order to establish the dictatorship. The object of persecution is persecution. The object of torture is torture. The object of power is power.”

― George Orwell, 1984

[Joe 6-pack]

As with the Russian Revolution of 1917, everybody on the left thinks they will be part of the elite. In present day America, this has only been compounded by the evacuation of religion from the public square and the rise of the self-esteem movement.

They fail to realize that there's only so much room at the top of the pyramid, and the useful idiots will only serve as rungs on the ladder for the most vicious who will climb to the top. Thus has it always been with totalitarians.

[RoosterRedux]

Our rulers have their prosperity.

What they are ruining is the opportunity for prosperity of that uppity middle class.

Serfs should know their place, says the Ruling Class.

How do we recover, or failing that, how can we insure our descendants can once again breath in a free entrepreneurial world?

Want to be a part of it? FReepmail me.

Slaves don’t dream about freedom. Slaves dream about becoming the master.

Entirely too true.

[RoosterRedux]

That's why the totalitarians use the ruse of communism.

The rank and file supporters of the Left do indeed think, as you say, that they will have positions of importance in the new communist government. And they may for a short while.

But soon the communist fantasy of utopia will give way to plain old totalitarianism.

[dfwgator]

I’d say we’ve been there for years.

[Williams]

Headed?

[hecticskeptic]

Headed?

Well, look at this way... every time you think that the culture can’t get sink lower, it does....

[I want the USA back]

Already there. Those who think there’s some hope of stopping it will continue to deny it, for a while.
