The author understands what's happening to us with a clarity I seldom see these days. But the author shies away from the final destination of the process that he's described so well. So here's why I think that we should be afraid - we should be very, very afraid. Because the same ideas that have animated recent history's mass murderers now have a happy home in the White House. Obama's just another worshipper in the same pew as Stalin, Castro, Mao, Chavez and Pol Pot. They bow before the same altar of human sacrifice and power for power's sake.
These monsters would rather rule in hell as barbarians sitting on top of a stinking heap of rubble and corpses than leave the rest of us alone to live in peace. I believe that enough patriots still remain to prevent this from happening. But it will come at a terrible cost.
Titus Livy, in his introduction to his monumental history of Rome remarked that his purpose in writing was "to trace the progress of our moral decline, to watch, first, the sinking of the foundations of morality as the old teaching was allowed to lapse, then the rapidly increasing disintegration, then the final collapse of the whole edifice, and the dark dawning of our modern day when we can neither endure our vices nor face the remedies needed to cure them."
Now we must face the remedies needed to cure ourselves of the Marxist totalitarian rot that has overtaken us. That we have allowed to overtake us. The cure will not take place in the voting both nor will it come from the forums of public debate. Those have been lost to us, as any observant individual well knows.
The honest answers to the following questions won't be pleasant to contemplate.
When your opponents lack the price of admission to civilized debate: a respect for reason, belief in objective truth, and a willingness to admit they're wrong when the facts prove it so - what then?
When your opponents' goals are to destroy the very foundation of your culture and your society - and to offer nothing in return but the howling nightmare of a society of cannibals and looters - what then?
When your opponents seize and indoctrinate your children's' minds in the politics of victimization and the nobility of human servitude and sacrifice - what then?
When the institutions of higher learning are occupied by Marxist multiculturalists who despise the very philosophical foundation upon which the architecture of liberty and human dignity have been constructed and seek to destroy it - what then?
We know the answer - as historian Samuel P. Huntington said, "History shows that no country so constituted can long endure as a coherent society." And now we must pay the price for Livy's cure in fire and blood.
Now. What to do? I am a guy rooted in concrete reality. I look at the power of the State and ask form whence it comes. I read Burke and believe him when he says: "The revenue of the State IS the State". The IS is in fact it's only power.
And how does the State ( the US Federal Government ) get it's revenue, ie: money?
Directly from the Federal Reserve Board. That is the evil source of it's power!
Forget taxes. Forget borrowing. The Real Power of the Federal Government is it's monopoly power to create "fiat money" out of this air. It is the life blood of the Beast.
So, IMHO, we must cut off the supply of blood to the Beast. Kill the Federal Reserve Board and the Beast will be drained of it's power and unlimited ability to bribe companies, pay it's troops, both military and cultural. It is no longer constrained by normal balance between competing uses for the public'c money. It has unlimited money due to the Fed System
This is, I believe, the essential first step. BO is gaining power through his ability to spend fiat money issued to him from the Federal Reserve. If he had to rely on real money taken from the producers he wouldn't have even 10%of the "money' he is now using.
Kill the Fed and the fiat money engine and the Beast itself can be controlled again. It has almost been 100 yrs since the Beast has been growing on the food of fiat money. Time to pinch the tube that is feeding it and drain it's power.
When your opponents' goals are to destroy the very foundation of your culture and your society - and to offer nothing in return but the howling nightmare of a society of cannibals and looters - what then? Again, you are saying 'democrats' without saying it! Abortion on demand has been the democrat's favorite empowerment scheme for decades now, ushering tens of millions of alive unborn children to the trash bins. Now, democrats want embryonic aged humans to be freely cannibalized for tissue sources, as another empowerment scheme. Democrats are pushing 'cap and trade', a prime way to loot the individual over artificially established 'carbon credits'. Cannibalism and looting, the democrat ways to their own empowerment.
When your opponents seize and indoctrinate your children's minds in the politics of victimization and the nobility of human servitude and sacrifice - what then? While the parents are distracted with bread and circuses, the commies take the minds of the children and mold them into territory unfit for rational thought! Our own children are fed a diet of pap at public schools while in our homes they consume televised short attention span garbage, and listen to droning insanity from rap and rock 'stars'. All the while, the parents are distracted with pursuing their own gratifications, at the expense of raising up their children in the way that they should go. Frankly, as the catholic leap into the dead-soul democrat agenda teaches us--with even a graphic example at Notre Dame just the other day--the parents have not a clue the way that their children should go because the parents haven't trod the path! Until they do, it will remain a mystery, perceived as a hindrance to self-gratification.
When the institutions of higher learning are occupied by Marxist multiculturalists who despise the very philosophical foundation upon which the architecture of liberty and human dignity have been constructed and seek to destroy it - what then? Not all have sunken onto the pit of social transaction, moral relativism. But if parents do not choose to place their nearly adult children in the right hands, the end is clear and rushing toward US. Until recently, I would have believe Notre Dame to be a proper values based institution for higher education. But even before the affirmative action figure liar-in-chief was invited to hold services there, the behavior of ND students I've observed had me doubting values have any place at ND any longer.
America has put one foot down in the dung, allowing those of little or no knowledge of what America was to determine whom will rule America. Yes, we've allowed it, we conservatives. How many of our like minded neighbors and relatives actually bother to oppose the bastards by voting every time the polls open, so the lying cannibals and looters do not hold office? Not enough, obviously. Are there actually enough left? 2010 had better be about find out, else we the people will be serfs under a too entrenched federal oligarchy to ever escape it.
Ping!
This is a very well written post! I am on the same page with you, and I agree this is the direction that, barring a miracle, we are inevitably heading. However, is it yet the time for “fire and blood?”
It is premature at this point. Now is not the time. We will know when that time comes...
