America's Second Civil War

It has been reported that Gov. Schwarzenegger caved into the persistent demands of Cultural Marxists and signed into law SB 1441. This law---a foul subversion of our Rule of Law and Constitutional rights---serves to further undermine the traditional family and parental rights by forcing extreme sex education upon children. Campaign for Children and Families in California and America (CCFAC) is outraged and appalled by Schwarzenegger’s cowardly capitulation. Schwarzenegger has “trampled the religious freedom to satisfy hyperactive sexual activists...Schwarzenegger is doing what Gray Davis did---trample religious freedom at the bidding of liberal activists from San Francisco and Hollywood. He’s not the lesser of two evils, he’s doing evil.” (Schwarzenegger Squashes Religious Freedom, Save California, 8/29/06) American’s are increasingly puzzled, infuriated, and alarmed by the nonstop erosion of their freedoms. They want to know, “What’s going on and who are these Americans who’re working to deprive us of our rights and freedoms?”

In the “The Siege of Western Civilization,” Herb Meyers, former CIA analyst in the Reagan administration and one of the first scholars to predict the implosion of the Soviet Union, explains that there are three major threats to the survival of Western Christian-Judeo Civilization. The first of these is the war with radical Islam. The second is the incredible plunging birthrates throughout the West and Japan. We have stopped breeding, said Meyers, and this may well lead not only to destruction of the world economy, but to the extinction of entire populations. Nothing like this has ever happened before in the history of the world, declared Herb. Western Europe and Japan, said Meyers, are catastrophes simply waiting to happen. The third threat is what Meyers termed the ‘second civil war’ being waged within America by a coalition of God-hating progressive secular humanists (socialists), and Cultural Marxists (multiculturalists). As Meyers cautioned, these revolutionaries mean to overthrow and destroy the America of our Founders and its traditional Christian-Judeo based culture.

In theory, communism is a classless social system in which all productive property is owned equally by the community rather than by the individual. This system therefore requires uniformity in education, food, clothing, dwellings, job, speech, thought, and even conscience. Because everything belongs to the State---including all citizens---and all social goods are to be shared equally, polymorphous sexual fluidity plays a prominent role in an aggregate of this sort. According to communist theory, a state of “social justice” will have been achieved when all individuality has been subsumed into the ‘group’ and all goods are shared equally.

History tells us that the earliest attempt at building a communist society took place in ancient Crete, around 1300 BC. This experiment inspired Lycurgus to set up a similar regime in Sparta. As Plutarch informs us, there was a uniform network consisting of education, gymnastics, and military training for youth of both sexes. Public meals and sleeping quarters were provided by the State and all land ‘fairly’ redistributed. Plutarch observed that because people themselves are viewed as property of the State, “no man was at liberty to live as he pleased, the city being like one great camp where all had their stated allowance.”

As Lycurgus was inspired by the Cretan experiment, Plato in turn, was inspired by the Lycurgus experiment. Plato’s ideal communist society would be ruled by philosopher kings and there would be “sharing of women and children among these, eugenic breeding, marriages controlled by the state, infanticide, abortion, and strictest censorship, all aimed at moulding citizens to the ideal design of his republic.” (The Theme is Freedom, M. Stanton Evans, p. 134)

In speaking of what led to the downfall of the communist Oneida Community in Oneida, New York (1848), William Hinds commented, “The first step out of communism was taken when ‘mine and thine’ were applied to husband and wife; then followed naturally an exclusive interest in children; then the desire to accumulate individual property for their present and future use.” (American Communities, Hinds, 1902)

As revealed by Hinds, the traditional family is the foundation of personal property, which is why Marx, Lenin, Trotsky, George Lukacs and comrades sought its destruction. Likewise, it’s why today’s Cultural Marxists are viciously attacking it and promoting sexually fluid alternatives such as polygamy and same-sex marriages. Additionally, since all goods are to be shared equally—even sex--- and promiscuity is, therefore, a prominent feature of secularized communal societies, Christian sexual ethics such as abstinence, fidelity, and monogamy are as antithetical as are the ideas of personal property and individual rights and freedoms.

Historically, all attempts at creating communist utopias have ended in failure. On one hand, the impossible dream of eradicating social classes has inevitably birthed totalitarian ruling classes. On the other hand, communism is quite simply, abhorrent and unnatural and people in their right minds want no part of it, which is why communists in this century have slaughtered in excess of 100 million people in their insanely evil quest to force this catastrophically unnatural system upon people…for their own good, of course. Seen in this light, the utopian ideal has been one of most vilely destructive fantasies to ever have infected the mind of men.

Worshippers of the communist principle (Cultural Marxists and secular humanists) are the enemy combatants who, while posing as patriotic Americans, are by deed waging a second civil war against the America of our Founders and traditional values Americans. With their disguises removed and their contemptible goals revealed it becomes clear as to why traditional marriage and Christianity are under a brutally relentless assault. It likewise focuses the light of truth upon the underlying motivation of the US Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit who lashed out at parents on Nov. 2, 2005. In the ruling handed down by these black-robed totalitarians, it was declared that the upbringing of children, “does not extend beyond the threshold of the school door…There is no fundamental right of parents to be the exclusive provider of information regarding sexual matters to their children (and) parents have no due process or privacy right to override determinations of public schools…” These despots, who view children as chattel of the State and parents as sperm/egg donors, emphasized that the parents, “fundamental right to control the education of their children is…substantially diminished.” (Judicial Supremacists Lash Out at Parents, Phyllis Schlafly Report, Eagleforum, 2005)

America’s bastard children—Cultural Marxists and progressive secular humanists—are following the strategic plan for the overthrow of America that was designed by Marxist theoreticians such as George Lukacs and Antonio Gramsci of the Frankfurt Institute, a Marxist think-tank. According to plan, revolutionaries are dechristianizing America and sexualizing and dumbing-down her children while simultaneously encouraging kids to rebel against their parents. They are subverting the Rule of Law and Constitution, undermining national security and weapons-defense systems, working to erase our borders, preventing the US from drilling for much needed oil, colluding with Islamofascists, and provoking unassimilated immigrants into open rebellion. Additionally, they have created the abomination of special rights groups whose ‘special rights’ are enforced by quota systems, psychopolitical ‘sensitivity and diversity training’, Stalinist speech codes and fascist hate-crime laws. All of the aforementioned lend themselves to the disintegration of society and the unleashing of chaos…necessary prerequisites for revolution.

Until the advent of Christ---creator of mankind and Author of individual and political freedom---history was essentially a dog-eat-dog world. It was a ‘survival of the fittest’ world in which the common man dwelt in fear and submission to his government. Power flowed from the gods and goddesses to predatory kings, emperors, and monarchs and then they did whatever they wanted and told the people what they could or could not have in terms of freedoms and privileges.

The greatest revolution in the history of the world---the American Revolution---radically changed the tyrannical ‘top-down’ model. America’s Revolution led to the creation of something wholly unique---a Constitutional Republic where power flowed from God---our Creator---to all of the people, hence the term, “we the people.” Nowhere in the world but in America do “we the people”---empowered by our Creator---tell the government what it is allowed to do.

It’s in the Genesis account---where God made man in His own image and gave him dominion over the earth---where the all important and immutable first principles of life and liberty come from. In the Declaration of Independence these principles are expressed thusly, “that all people are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights…among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.”

These immutable first principles are exposited upon and made secure by the Constitution, Bill of Rights, and Rule of Law. Our rights and liberties---when rightly exercised within the limitations of moral discipline--- lead to the creation of a dynamic, prosperous society in which decency, safety, families, free markets, innovation, and creativity flourish for the good of all.

“The general principles on which the fathers achieved independence were…the general principles of Christianity…those general principles…are as eternal and immutable as the existence and attributes of God; and that those principles of liberty are as unalterable as human nature.” (Works, Vol. x. pp.45-46, Thomas Jefferson, June 28, 1813)

On behalf of a phantasmagorical utopia that exists only within the collective mind of the chronically disconnected-from-reality Left, Cultural Marxists and their allies---both national and international—are waging an all-out revolution to overturn the American Revolution and thereby destroy the America bequeathed to us by our Founders.

The wholesale destruction of the highest, most advanced form of civilization the world has ever seen is happening because, “We’ve forgotten what Western civilization is,” said Meyers, “we no longer teach it in the schools.” “Our culture is Western Civilization. This is who we are,” explained Herb Meyers. “We need to understand what Western Civilization is all about, such as the rule of law, human rights, and economic liberty, and above all we need to teach this to our children.

Western Civilization is completely bound to our Creator. He it is who endows us with our inalienable individual rights and liberties. Thus it is of the highest priority that we not only prevent Cultural Marxists and their atheist brethren---some of whom are even on the Right--- from finishing the job of severing Christianity from our government and culture, as they’ve so insidiously done, but that we repair the damage done by them. For if they succeed in finishing the job, Western Civilization will end and brutal tyranny unlike anything the world has yet experienced will commence.

Let us heed the prophetic advice of Daniel Webster who cautioned, “Hold on my friends to the Constitution and the Republic for which it stands. Miracles do not cluster and what has happened once in 6000 years may not happen again. Hold onto the Constitution, for if the American constitution should fail, there will be anarchy throughout the world.”

Sobran's not welcome here? I didn't know.

His essay should be mandatory reading. I more or less "knew" the basis of his essay, but reading it in detail made me even more despondent. :-/

He says the solution is simple but I don't see it that way, it's gone on far too long, too many mouths are firmly latched onto the teats of government (which includes state government), too many beaurocrats have lifetime jobs making our lives miserable at our expense. In order to change for the better, it's going to take several things all at once, some of which would be completely beyond humanity's control.

I think the future will be very interesting.

So, I'm open to being proven wrong, just provide some cites to writings of say, Marx or Engels where they say the Communist state will force everyone to have the same pay, education, etc, etc.

Communism was a failed experiment, and caused untold misery to millions, but there's no need to make stuff up about it like the original author did. It just makes her look ignorant, and more than slightly off-her-meds.

Others have noted other blatant errors in fact, I don't think I need to repeat them again surely. Anyone who thinks this writer is a genius or something really needs to improve the quality of their reading material and maybe get out more.

Marx was a loser who allowed his wife and children to live in squalor and poverty and eventually to die because he was too obsessed with his scribblings to get a job and provide for his family, which makes sense of why he advocated that the State be 'father & mother." Marx was a self-centered parasitic fanatic who actually believed he'd ingeniously created a magic formula that would "save the world." Bottom line on your icons: They were nasty, envious, miserable squatty sorts who, once in power, destroyed the lives of millions. Your icons said many things and made many claims, but what's important are the bloodbaths and wholesale destruction of society that occured as a result of their rantings being put into action. Those are the things that count. Words are cheap...it's the actions that count, which means that their miserable, worthless spewings are not worth debating except to those who actually empathize with the vomitus of Marx, Lenin, et al.

And yes indeed, I noticed that there were "all two of you" (perhaps even as many as a 'crowd' of 3??) that took offense to the article. That is as profoundly impressive as a blank sheet of paper.

Thanks for the elucidation.

It's easy to say something is wrong, but not necessarily as easy to provide documentation.

Communism (and, of course, there are many variations of the theme) is always a crime against nature. Human nature, mother nature, and the Author of all nature.

One of my grown children tried to tell me that Communism didn't work because it never was tried "well enough" but I squashed her argument in about 5 minutes and she had to agree that it is totally wrong not only in application but in theory.

You're welcome! And yes, communism--no matter its guise--is a crime against nature. Ever notice that its hard-core adherents are all, what was once known as "morally insane" (known today as sociopaths)? A morally insane (sociopath) person is an egoist(sinister to diabolical narcissist) who is in eternal rebellion against authority---most especially moral authority. They espouse moral relativity because they are envious, covetous, liars, thugs, pedos, bullies, thieves, cowards, gluttons, perverts, megalomaniacs, etc. Communism is the Cult of Cain.

Marx was a loser who allowed his wife and children...

Nice rant, but it failed to address the point that the original author was making stuff up.

their miserable, worthless spewings are not worth debating

You're unable to either admit your error or provide evidence then. Ok.

I wasn't aware that 'blustering ignorance' was supposed to be a conservative 'value' -- usually I associate it with Dims, in fact. That's one of the reasons I actually learned something about Marxism - 'know your enemy' is more my style than your 'wallow in righteous ignorance' approach.

To each his own, however. You and the original author seem about the same mindset (frothing, hissing and spitting-wise) at least.

--R. 'lack of concern for accuracy, too'

R...Nice rant, but it failed to address the point that the original author was making stuff up.

Essentially, you are using the scribblings of a disconnected-from-reality madman as the basis for your accusations against the author. In essence, you are holding up a comic book as a source of truth and reality and accusing the author thereon of, "making stuff up."

Should no one take you seriously in this forum RustM, just look in the mirror for the reason why. Then ask yourself who Lenin was really referring to when he contemptuously spoke of "useful idiots." Then check your mirror again.

I can agree with the article... up to a certain point.

I agree that the Constitution has been misused, and the federal government has overstepped its boundaries. Schools teach that the Constitution is a piece of paper the founding fathers signed. No one knows much about it. I myself didn't learn anything about it before the internet.

But the article lost me once it started on the Civil War. I can understand the importance of the right of a state to leave the union, but it can't act as a little tyranny within U.S. borders. Everything else in the article, though, was right on the mark, imho.

I agree - states cannot be little tyrannies - but they are right now. The vicious infringements of our rights, and the devastating taxation we suffer under (not just fedgov, but state income tax, sales, property, various fees and so on) could not even have been imagined by previous generations. And the reaction upon the South was absolutely ruinous - not just for the southern states, but for the entire nation.

I got an idea - RM, why not post some documentation? I have no dog in this fight, just interested in truth, as do many who read here but don't post.

Well, my point being that Marxism doesn't mandate an identical education for everyone (or wages, or...), it's somewhat hard to prove a negative. How do I quote Marx as 'not saying something'?

I invited the person claiming Marx or Communism does make such demands to post evidence, it normally being incumbent on the person making the *positive* claim to support their argument. Certainly the fact that Danny Goldstick stated the exact opposite puts the point in reasonable doubt, given that he's an expert on Marx.

And the borderline nutbar statements in the original article indicate the author seriously needs to either do some remedial reading or get back on the thorazine.

--R.

Thorazine?

Oh well. I think the bottom line is that Communism, large or small c, is an abomination and tortues humanity. I still think her points are valid, and not being a scholar, my fund of general knowledge tells me that the general position of Communism is to take peoples' individuality away from them and force them to be ciphers, with little to no voice of their own. The state runs and rules all, including their education, income, where they live, etc. Of course, the drawing board and reality aren't always exactly the same.

What would you say the goals or plan of Communism is/was regarding income and education, since you (vehemently to the point of name calling) disagree with the author?
