The Political Gospel of Pain

The Good News is that the Progressive ideology is insufficient to animate government for long after it has come into its own full flowering. It only can sustain itself temporarily and parasitically on a healthy organism before it succeeds in crippling its host and breeding intense enmity. I believe it so deficient a vision that I categorically state that it will soon come crashing down in America, as is occurring everywhere on earth. The nagging problem is that the entrenched Progressive ideology is tightly bound in a bastard amalgam of anti-theism and the rejection of the old moral order. Therefore, a certain sizeable segment of our society has a psychological vested interest in the secular Marxian collectivist faith. That being said, the pain that arises from the eventual penury of the state will be itself the schoolmaster that sows the seeds of intellectual and material dissatisfaction once this dark edifice with feet of clay loses its legitimacy as a cynical dispenser of coerced redistribution.

Pain and suffering are the inexorable result when Castles in the Sky collide with the nuts and bolts reality that a bankrupt regime has tapped its last dime from rubes across the sea and has sold its children's birthright for a mess of pottage. Unable to any longer pick the empty pockets of one man to purchase the patronage of another, pain becomes the necessary evil that dashes the artificiality of the Socialist Shell Game. When a rotten feudal educational system collapses under the burden of its own corpulence and its social engineers can no longer manufacture compliant drones for the state, then pain can accomplish an equilibrium where truth can get a word in edgewise.

The Low Information Voter is the cancer in our country. If you are too stupid to figure out that government is the least efficient way of doing anything, you are a Democrat. These people should be kicked in the butt and told to swim or sink, but instead, they vote themselves money from someone else’s pocket.

That will not last forever.

So how do we rid ourselves of the cancer that will eventually kill the ‘healthy’ cells of this country? Pain aside, how do we survive? We cannot give up and wait for the final crash and burn. What might be done to prevent pain for the innocent in all of this (our children and grandchildren)?

My wife and I were just discussing these ideas yesterday. Economic (and who knows what other kind of) pain will be the lens that focuses our nation’s attention on the reality that God has at present ordained in this fallen (soon to be redeemed) world. Money quote: ...a bastard amalgam of anti-theism and the rejection of the old moral order. Time to repent America!

Stop spending; stop patronizing businesses such as restaurants and strip shopping centers that employ the democrats. Hasten the end; the sooner it happens, the sooner things can be made better!
