One of the most interesting articles I've read in a long time, as to how we in the US got to where we are politically and socially.

No one stole our culture ... thru political ignorance selfishness and laziness we squandered and gave it away

I'm sure the socialists played a huge part in the destruction of white european culture, but I'm too busy lamenting the fact that I wasn't born BLACK, to do anything about it.
I live in a location that is largely white, working class america and most of the population looks like they walked off the set of an MTV video with their gangsta clothes and their booming, sporty "mom" cars.

Separating Marxism from Western Culture doesn't make sense. It came right out of Locke and 18th century Enlightenment ideas of and ‘man's infinite perfectibility’ and the ability to create a Heaven on Earth.

Successful Western Culture was Judeo/Christian.

Actually it’s not that we were lazy and selfish, we’ve been victims of propaganda.

Maxism may be "a child of the Enlightenment", but it is a bastard child, out to kill off the legitimate heirs of Western culture -- Christianity and Democracy.

If you study the Old Testament, you will see time after time how Israel would serve God, then foreign influences or invaders would come in and change people's minds and culture and Israel would back slide from GOD and God would have to punish Israel.....
Is it any wonder God would have to tell Israel over and over again to separate themselves from the rest of the nations and DO NOT adopt their culture and other GOD's ( hmmm ? sounds like the USA today ).

Great. Now we’re all victims.
Can I choose to opt out of victimhood? I don’t care for the way it fits.

Audio and visual impulses to the collective brain of society are largely controlled by overlords of the Left through so called “pop music” and “must see TV” shows. Add to that the purposeful dumbing down of the populace through the education system also controlled by the Left and what you have is a lost culture.
There are other ways the Left degrades true culture but this is how they go after the young and are thus most effective.
I have stated this many times and usually what I get in response is: Waa! you attacked TV - you a bad man!

"Actually its not that we were lazy and selfish, weve been victims of propaganda."Or it's a large bit of both -- we have been propagandized, and we have become lazy and selfish.
Communism has always been an attempt at cultural suicide -- that quiet little voice in your ear telling you to kill yourself and all that you've known & loved, including your own family & history, in order to be "truly free". Of course, it's a load of crap, but it is (and was) seductive for many, especially when administered in small doses over a long period of time, as it appears that it has been here in the US. You are dying before you even know what is happening to you.

We have failed to nip it in the bud when a few could discern and sense it was coming ( Ronald Reagan warned us ).
What we need to do is to call them on their BS and stand fast and do not give into their tactics.
If they call us a bigot, then ? we must force them to prove it... if they call us a fascist, then we must force them to prove it instead of us allowing them to go on and on with their propaganda and brainwash the mush minded sheeple..... above ALL ? WE MUST MAKE A STAND !!
If they call us a homophobic racist, then, we must call them on their BS and propaganda and call them a Christian phobic fascist who want to deny us our rights to live as a man and a woman in peace.
God said for us to Draw nigh unto GOD and GOD will draw nigh unto us, resist the devil and he will flee.
Those who call it a " Cultural War " has got it right, it really is a war.
To: Prophet in the wilderness
Absolutely, it’s war. Only, our side don’t know it. The other side has been at it for decades now. It may be too late but I rather go down fighting back.

This a good question to most of the freepers who whine about a boycott against a liberal company. Liberals treat their politics like a religion. Almost all liberal boycotts work because they are united and willing to sacrifice and speak out. 95% of the money donated to charities by the major corps go to liberal orgs. ‘Conservatives’ like Rush etal. claim that boycotts dont work - all while pocketing big dough from the companies that pay them to shut their mouths. Its disgusting that more people are worried about stuffing their face with a big mac than the constitutional freedoms that our founders fought for.
