"Alice thought she had never seen such a curious croquet-ground....the balls were live hedgehogs, the mallets live flamingoes, and the soldiers had to double themselves up to stand upon their hands and feet to make the arches....."they all quarrel so dreadfully", said Alice......"and they don't seem to have any rules in particular....how confusing it all is...." ~~~"The Queen's Croquet Ground"
Common sense, traditional values Americans increasingly find themselves shaking their heads in bewilderment and disgusted outrage over what seems to be a growth industry of lunacy and immorality in the US. It seems not a day goes by without our hearing about teachers having sex with their students; kids killing or raping other kids; home owners who, in defense of their loved ones, shoot the thugs who break into their homes only to find themselves being arrested for committing 'self-defense"; Christmas parades that allow no mention of Christ but which celebrate lewdly gyrating, half-naked, freakish homosexuals; illegals being awarded "legal rights"; a man arrested for raping a 3 year old toddler and broadcasting it live on-line; or emotional tyrant homosexuals throwing a temper tantrum and accusing Jada Pinkett Smith of committing 'heteronormalism' because she was so insensitive as to refer to her husband and children. What she was really guilty of doing was inadvertently reminding the lunatics that they're deviants, and heaven forbid that anyone who engages in deviancy be made aware that they are in fact, deviants.
In Noah Webster's "American Dictionary of the English Language" 1878 edition, wicked is defined as: 'evil in principle or practice; deviating from divine law; addicted to vice; sinful; immoral."
It has always been a fact of life that immoral people are offended by morality. So it should come as no surprise that wicked people are responsible for causing corrupted reasoning, denial of reality and truth and the redescription of these to become the law of the land in America. Perverse people were offended by our traditional values civilization, so they began a war of attrition against our traditional culture; they've caused moral law, standards, and now even mankind's created condition to be jettisoned in order that they could create a sewer of immorality in which they could feel comfortable. From corrupt laws being cooked up by SCOTUS and other black-robed, morally insane tyrants to the erasing of mankind's created condition, or as CS Lewis put it, the abolition of mankind, the wicked amongst us have been steering America's ship of state ever deeper into the turbulent, oily, diseased waters of the Sea of Insanity.
Wicked Red Queens and Mad Hatters have taken over and are trashing and depraving America, her culture, her laws, and even her children in their maddened frenzy to force their immoral whims and evil sexual fantasies to become our new reality.
Mankind needs to be held accountable to a higher moral authority and to overarching, unchanging moral laws. When he is, trust, stability, civility, justice, peace and progress can occur. But when amoral man is at the helm, there will be instability, insecurity, and persecution as a result of capricious demands birthed in a seething cauldron of monstrous ego. There will be unfairness, injustice, dementia, perversity, malice, vengeance-seeking, and conspiracy making. In other words, a world where madness and barbaric cruelty are the norm.
"Alice In Wonderland," is an almost perfect analogical morals tale for our times because it depicts the insanity and cruelty unleashed upon society when immoral man is in charge. Consider how the Red Queen's coldhearted narcissistic impulses led her to use living creatures as 'clubs' and other living creatures as 'balls.' Her concern is for her own selfish pleasure. She doesn't know nor does she care to know that in using flamingoes as mallets and hedgehogs as 'balls' that they'll suffer excruciating pain and perhaps even die.
How does the Queen's wicked abuse of living creatures for her selfish pleasure differ from how wicked deviants, on behalf of their own selfish reasons are depraving children? Or how does it differ from the depraved ruling handed down by Fed. Judge Gary Lancaster of Pittsburgh in the 'US v Extreme Associates,' wherein he declared to have discovered a Constitutional right that 'emanates' from the 'Lawrence v Texas" sodomy ruling that allows for the selling of extremely violent porn in which women are depicted as being beaten, raped, and murdered?
Just as the wicked Queen cared not at all about the pain, suffering, and degradation of the flamingoes, America's deviants don't care that along with turning children towards depravity, they are also condemning them to suffer from the same mentally and physically degrading behaviors and debilitating diseases with which deviants always suffer and die early deaths from. Neither did the corrupt judge nor the Extreme Associate producers care about the consequences to society , and women in particular from Constitutionalizing the making of violent, degrading porn. "Public morality," opined the black-robed tyrant, "is not a legitimate state concern sufficient to justify infringing on private, consensual sexual conduct even if that conduct is offensive to the general public's sense of morality." Morality is out, and depravity, no matter how violent it is, is in.
To better understand our need for unchanging standards, moral principles, and an authority higher than ourselves to whom we must be held accountable, consider how we rely upon unchanging standards for weights and measures. A foot for instance, is a measure of distance that is divided into twelve equal parts (inches). The standard of measure established by which both feet and inches are determined must be absolutely unchanging if we are to be able to trust in their integrity and to base current and future decisions upon them. Imagine the chaos, injustice, unfairness, and violence that would ensue if mankind were to capriciously change the standards of weights and measures to suit his fancies. A gallon of gas could be redefined as a quart; a foot could become four inches instead of twelve. Immoral individuals would revel in such power, while the rest of society suffered.
By the logic of their position, which reduces both truth and reality to personal opinion, moral relativists could indeed cause the preceding to become reality. For if they can redefine and redescribe away mankind's created condition as being either a male or a female so as to allow themselves to recreate man as a bizarre new creature called a 'genderqueer transmasculine/transfemale intersexed being', then what's to stop them from redefining weights and measures out of existence? Without unchanging standards, how can we know what a foot, an ounce, or a gallon are? Without standards to gauge sense and nonsense by, how can we know the difference between them? Similarly, without an unchanging definition of mankind; an absolute which clearly and definitively states that we are either a male or a female and nothing else, then human beings can be redescribed and redefined as anything, everything, and eventually as 'genderqueer, transmasculine/transfemales," which in reality, is nothing at all.
In the 'Queens' Garden', every character save Alice is a "moral sovereign," which is why there is a lack of rules. They all play by their own rules except when the Red Queen, "Supreme Emotional Tyrant," is around. Then they must placate her lest she order their heads be cut off. By the Red Queen's reasoning, pink flamingoes are also croquet mallets and hedgehogs are balls. Who is to say her nay? She's in charge and she makes the rules. The apathetic soldier 'cards', who must bend themselves out of shape to provide the Queen with wickets, keep their mouths shut, bow and scrape, and otherwise mindlessly rush about anxiously doing her bidding, are an analogy for what will happen to the rest of us, and indeed, is already happening to us unless we restore sanity to America.
(quote) "As part of the vast social project of moral levelling, it is not enough for the deviant to be normalized. The normal must be found to be deviant.....One of the agendas of the 'defining deviancy up' movement (was in promoting) an underlying ideology about the inherent aberrancy of all heterosexual relationships." (end quote) ~~~Charles Krauthammer
The despoilers: morally insane black-robed tyrants; perverse media; legislators of corrupted laws; deviants; and the seething armies of Orks who serve as enforcers, declared that God is dead; that His moral laws, created order, and absolutes don't exist. "Man's reason is all there is," they triumphantly exclaimed as they set about the crazed business of bringing salvation to themselves by delivering society from the oppressive 'evils' wrought by obedience to and belief in moral principles and high standards. The equality we hear them continually speaking of will finally be accomplished when they've managed to completely deprave our culture, to destroy our Constitutional Republic; and to drag everyone down into the sewer where they dwell. Honor, courage, fidelity, personal accountability, authority, honesty, respect, dignity, commitment: indeed all virtue is anathema to the wicked and must be eradicated in order for them to feel comfortable.
Ben Shapiro said; " If we must choose between alienating the immoral and ravaging societal standards for the personal comfort of the immoral then choosing the former is the only rational decision." (end quote)
We've been allowing the bedlamites to lead us down the path to insanity and destruction. It's way past time for us to put an end to their lunacy. Our Founders devised our system of government so that "we the people" are the 'bosses". SCOTUS, federal judges, the president, and both houses work for 'we the people,' not the other way around. We pay the bills, including the salaries and perks for all of the preceding. Isn't it time for us to remember who works for who and for 'we the people' to step up to the plate and demand that positive changes be made? Like for instance, impeaching renegade jurists? How about if 'we the people' tell the eternally whining deviants and other special rights groups to just 'shut up' about their hurt feelings, to 'suck it up and get over it" because no one deserves special rights in America and we're sick and tired of hearing from them? Let's demand that the perverts get their filthy hands off of our kids and get out of our schools. If we don't put a stop to the insanity, it'll only continue to grow shriller, more strident, and even more insane until one day we'll hear that the bedlamites have discovered that pink flamingoes make great croquet mallets.

Peace. Be still.
Up is down, left is right, right is wrong. The day is coming when we're going to have to take America back from the socialists, communists and looney leftists.
Good article. Thanks, Bttt.
Excellent. One of the best articles I've read in a long time.
They are gossips, slanderers, Godhaters, insolent, arrogant and boastful; they invent ways of doing evil; they disobey their parents; they are senseless, faithless, heartless, ruthless. Although they know God's righteous decree that those who do such things deserve death, they not only continue to do these very things but also approve of those who practice them. Romans 1:30-32
Read later, bump.
Good article.
I have used the "through the looking glass" example may times. It is truly, truly bizarre that simple common sense statements concerning society are condemned as "hate speech"-- and the lunatics get away with it time after time.
I am going to continue to think it is weird and abhorent for two guys to prance around in pink tutu's. I don't intend to pay any attention to the "needs" of a transgendered what-ever-you-call-it. And the government and the ivory tower academics will leave my ass alone regarding how I regard those matters. I promise you they will.
Yep.
Definately bump to read later and a bump for OF to read it, too!!
Also, the mallets and balls were not exactly being tortured to death. There is no indication in the passage that the animals were anything other than puzzled and perhaps annoyed:
"The chief difficulty Alice found at first was in managing her flamingo: she succeeded in getting its body tucked away, comfortably enough, under her arm, with its legs hanging down, but generally, just as she had got its neck nicely straightened out, and was going to give the hedgehog a blow with its head, it would twist itself round and look up in her face, with such a puzzled expression that she could not help bursting out laughing: and when she had got its head down, and was going to begin again, it was very provoking to find that the hedgehog had unrolled itself, and was in the act of crawling away..."
-- Alice in Wonderland, ch. VIII

snip...I don't think that the Red Queen's croquet game is really an apt metaphor for cruelty... as the illustration posted at the top of the thread indicates, Alice herself didn't have any problem taking part in the game
It doesn't take much imagination to envision what would happen to the head, neck, and bill of a flamingo were it to be used as a 'club'. Lewis Carroll expected us to make use of our imaginations to 'fill in the blanks'.
As for Alice taking part in the game......naturally she did. She found herself transported to a world of insanity and she realized that she had to make the best of her situation while simultaneously not losing her own sanity.

The internet and 24/7 cable news...or programming in general has made it impossible for any medium to remain solvent without resorting to raising ordinarily "tabloid" topics to headline status.
It's one of the side effects of the blogoshere, IMO.
This morning I was treated to a pair of pandas practicing foreplay... being "spyed" upon by cameras.
I am being Michael Jacksoned to death...after being Scott Petersoned to a pulp...and listening to newsreaders fretting over whether Martha Stewart's hairstyle upon leaving prison was in a flip or a bob.
In the end, it helps the Conservative point of view because there is no way with all this immoral behavior coming into our living rooms will be accepted as mainstream.
Sorry for rambling...
