Monckton: Obama crew 'existential threat' to U.S. But warns GOP not in position to reverse socialism
John Griffing recently interviewed Lord Monckton, who is sounding the alarm that unless the current warnings are heeded, the West is on the precipice of financial and political collapse.
Lord Monckton: "The U.S. Constitution, perhaps to a unique degree, is a document that defines not the duties of the people to their government but the duties of the government to the people. In terms of present-day politics, all forms of Socialism are variants of Legalism, while the enlightened live-and-let-live approach that your founding fathers had in mind is the very essence of Confucianism.
The framers of your Constitution understood that the people know best what is best for the people: in that sentence is the definition of Confucianism. You now have a Socialist president, a Socialist administration, a Socialist Democrat party, Socialist governors and legislators in many states. These people – whatever they say – do not believe in the libertarian, democratic principles that your Constitution encapsulates. They hate it....

Barack Obama, Valerie Jarret, Eric Holder...
Make that 2012.
“Barack Hussein Soetoro Obama needs to be impeached, publicly tried for treason, sedition, dereliction of duty, and outright fraud, and thrown into Guantanamo Bay for the rest of his natural life along with the Clintons, Reid, Pelosi, and a few other choice undesirables who are enemy combatants to the American way of life.”
To what end? I can’t begin to count the number of times I’ve read opinions here on FR to the effect that carreer criminals should not be supported - even in prisons - by the taxpayers. What will actually happen is that each of these criminals that you have named - and more besides - will retire, move to a gated estate in some country with a warmer climate and continue to steal oxygen from the rest of us. Any discussion - even witful dreaming - of an alternative solution would bring a swift visit from the KGB..., er, Secret Service.
We need a massive shift in philosophy. As long as the majority of people continue to hold to the ideas of Altruism and collectivism the country is headed for disaster. We will keep getting the same kind of leadership elected time and time again. We need to have a revival of individualism and capitalism that the country was founded on. Nothing short of a mass renunciation of the current dominant ideas will save this country. One of the primary pushers of Altruism/collectivism is religion. I know I won’t be popular for saying that here but it is true. Though many Tea Party patriots are for individual liberty and low taxation and limited constitutional government they have bought, through religion, every fundamental principle that underlies and justifies Socialism. They agree with the socialists that they have no right to exist except for the purpose of serving others. The rest follows from that principle. Socialists only change the other from God to the people or the state. The principle is the same though. That is the contradiction that is destroying the country. So long as profits are considered evil and welfare good then there is no chance for a revival.
Can we have a Lord Monckton ping list?
