Sometimes I think we’re headed to a new Dark Ages. Or that we only fleetingly left the previous one.

I know that if my wife ever cooked me a meal of lentils when I had a cravin’ for goat meat, my first inclination would be to grab a laundry stick (?) and beat her bloody. I mean, there’s just so much a man can be expected to put up with, right? A homicide would likely ensue.

Our new Dark Ages is being spread globally by Islamists, as they steadily infect all cultures on Earth. One of the more prominent Islamists is Barak Obama.

We are in those dark ages. It’s just that our eyes have adjusted to it.

The left is “winning” the battle of the Culture Wars. One might arguably call it the struggle for the soul of this nation. We are losing.

The left would suggest that the right, regarding itself as faithful, (and drawing it’s moral authority from that faith) are the cultural “soul-mates” with the likes of Mr. Hussein. Yet it is the left, deliberately choosing to defy the euphemistic law of gravity with the imposition of the morally rudderless Moral Relativism, that allows the Hussein’s of this world to persist.

If you’ve ever argued with a leftist you’ve witnessed the phenomena of hair-splitting. They indulge in it like no others. They insist, “We must respect, nay, celebrate multiculturalism” and then rationalize away outrageous behavior with, “He comes from a culture where he thinks this is appropriate conduct, where he can hit his wife”.

Right is right and wrong is wrong, except to a leftist. That is because Liberalism is a mental disorder.

To me, the really, really disgusting thing about this was that the American defense attorney (a woman, and city paid, I imagine) actually said in his defense that it was ok in “his culture” to “discipline” your wife that way. “Discipline” your wife? And something is OK because you come from a stinking armpit of the world that subscribes to an insane death cult so therefore you can do whatever you want?

We’ve been comparing what’s going on to the dark ages. The kids want answers to why people around them and in the news seem to look at things so strangely and to make such bad decisions so consistently

These kids have western civ in their curriculum, which is not the case in many high schools so we are able to explain it in terms of going through a dark age

In the future people WILL be looking back at us as whacked out our culture hates children, family, decency, our own constitution and its defenders including and especially veterans

The Catholic Church has warned in Humanae Vitae and otherwise that cultural acceptance of birth control would bring this about

But we are encouraged to not think. Our kids in school are taught that thinking, asking questions and being logical is immoral

A society that wants its young to ‘feel’ that mass killings by abortion (53 million so far 1.5 m per yr) is okay, has no other choice

And from there stupidity on a massive scale

Throughout history, poverty is the normal condition of man. Advances which permit this norm to be exceeded — here and there, now and then — are the work of an extremely small minority, frequently despised, often condemned, and almost always opposed by all right-thinking people. Whenever this tiny minority is kept from creating, or (as sometimes happens) is driven out of a society, the people then slip back into abject poverty.

This is known as “bad luck.”

Robert A. Heinlein

This is a look at our future.
