Various Leftists and their ilk predicted long ago that they and an interconnected network of accomplices throughout academia, the entertainment world, government, and elsewhere, would bring about the fall of the West by way of a ‘long walk through the culture.’ A diabolically conceived ‘walk’ that would slowly invert our traditional order by disarming, dumbing-down, and putting Westerners ‘to sleep’ (enslaving them) through immorality: ‘’sex, drugs, and rock ‘n roll.” The unwary sleepers, it was confidently foretold, would never dream that they would one day awaken to a nightmare world of slavery.

Over the course of many years those predictions have been coming true. For today, far too many Americans are fast becoming an immoral, narcissistic people addicted to instant gratification; an infantilized people whose ongoing mind-conditioning comes by way of a warped, pornographic, propaganda-spewing media and entertainment. And while Americans have been sleeping, our universities and schools have become transmission belts for the proselytizing of socialism, political correctness, open-borders, New Age pantheism, sexual confusion and androgyny, one world universalism, and hate: hate-whitey, hate-Conservatives, hate-America, hate truth, hate Boy Scouts, hate history, hate free markets, hate straight males, hate-tradition, hate-morality, and hate the Biblical God.

Indeed. Thanks for the ping!

Maranatha, Jesus!

For almost one-hundred years, the Left has been busily engaged in stealthily undermining and gutting our founding documents and America’s social, political, legal, and cultural infrastructures. Toward this end, they’ve managed to marginalize the Declaration of Independence—the charter document—and to cleverly infiltrate new and alien meaning into our Constitution. Whereas originally, the individual’s right to liberty was viewed as God-given---thus fixed and unchanging---God has been declared dead and subsequently replaced by a quasi-divine State, while group privileges are increasingly sweeping away individual rights. And where each and every human life possesses an ‘inalienable right to life’ was held as an immutable truth and a universal moral good, the ‘enlightened’ politically correct view holds that truth and morality are irrelevant and human life is without value, dignity, or purpose. Taking the place of our inalienable right to life is politically correct choice. In reality, choice is an elitist eugenics mentality in disguise, hence it views procreation of undesirables---such as the common man---as bad, therefore all population control schemes such as euthanasia, abortion, and the abomination called partial birth abortion---which is tantamount to infanticide---are ‘good.’

You really nail it here, spirited irish!

With God "dead," so is any universal standard of the Good (public or personal) — or Truth for that matter.

Or of morality, private or civic (i.e., morality as it extends to the welfare of the whole public life — the public Good).

Under this mindless regime, everything becomes a matter of "opinion"; and given some deranged concept of human "equality," all opinions are held to be equally valuable — at least as long as they are not equally despicable! Talk about the perfection of irrationality!

Plus ethics becomes "situational"; morality, "relative." Thus law itself becomes unhinged from any basis in a fixed principle, a ratio, criterion, or standard that can validate or invalidate the truth of statements (bye bye logic!) and proposals.

And yet this what it takes to get us a "rule of men," and why the American rule of law, the Constitution, must go.

If folks don't wake up smell the palpable danger to the American republic in all this, and start putting up a resistance to it, we shall lose our country.

Yet few seem to notice that this is a critically serious problem that has been cultivated and primed to undermine and abolish the Constitution — and thus the liberties of the people — by irrational, manic people who make a whole lot of senseless noise. Certainly they are people who hate God, and being thoroughly, bitterly unhinged from Him, have lost not only their humanity, but their minds as well.

I've just finished reading David McCullough's magnificent biography of John Adams, in which I found this choice item: "I know not what to make of a republic of thirty million atheists [then the total population of the U.S.]".

He was speaking in response to the enthusiasm of one political party of the time (i.e., the Republicans under TJ) for the French Revolution. Even before the horror stories from France began filtering in, Adams perceived (correctly as history testifies) that enshrining Reason, elevating it to the status of God (as the philosophes so attractive to TJ argued), was a sure prescription for tyranny, social breakdown, and ultimately war.

Adams well understood the necessity of an unvarying, fixed moral code as the only true source of the citizen virtue it takes to maintain and defend a constitutional republic. It was his lifelong conviction that the two truthful, faithful sources of morality personal and civic were (1) the Holy Bible — first and foremost; (2) as the model of American citizen virtue, the Roman Cicero.

Americans don't spend a whole lot of time in public schools contemplating such things these days, thanks to the wonderfully "creative" pedagogical models of the likes of William Ayers.

spirited irish, I don't know what the answer is. All I can say is I'm praying a lot these days. That God will not forget America, and that He will forgive us for not defending her — or His truth. That He may give us yet another unearned blessing!

Thank you ever so much for your beautiful essay-post spirited irish!

p.s.: Somehow we folks have to draw the line at any undercutting of the Second Amendment. That would be the final usurpation against the true sovereign of this country: We the People. Then it would be a case of: The king is dead! Long live the king! After that, our circumstance would be little different than that of supine cattle.
