America Has Become the Greatest Exporter of Destructive Ideas
FrontPageMagazine.com ^ | Jan. 5, 2023 | Dennis Prager

Posted on 01/05/2023 6:25:46 PM PST by Jacob Kell

At the present time, China is the greatest threat to world stability, Russia is the world’s premier aggressor-nation, and Islamist groups are the primary exporters of terror and (religious) totalitarianism.

And, for the first time in history, America is the world’s major exporter of destructive ideas.

This is hard for me to write. One of my books is titled Still the Best Hope: Why the World Needs American Values to Triumph. It contrasts American values with leftist values and makes the case that the American value system is the finest ever devised. I define American values — what I call the “American Trinity” — as “Liberty,” “In God We Trust,” and e pluribus unum (Latin for “From many, one”), the three American mottos found on American coins and banknotes.

No other country has those three national mottos. The book maintains that any country can adopt those values and any country that does adopt those values will be a good society. Its citizens will be the freest in the world and that country will prosper.

Indeed, those values are the reason Americans have been the freest people in the world and America has been, far and away, the greatest land of opportunity in human history.

We (our our DC deepstate and elites) are the neo-Marxists now - they promote a utopian, materialist, globalist ideology (with themselves at the top), by (color) revolution if necessary.

Why must America try to export ‘democracy’?

Democracies are never a good idea

We are not a democracy for a reason.

(America is the world’s major exporter of destructive ideas.)

Never mistake: Barack Hussein Obama is here to destroy America.

He appears to be empowered by his real father.

I don’t know that he’s the guy but his charm works on the easily-deceived.

No. Those ideas came from socialist and communist enemies. They were imported to the United States. From there, it was easy to export to the rest of the world with the fellow travelers they had here.

Reading pieces like this makes it REALLY TOUGH to stand up for ‘American Values’ when talking to people from other countries, particularly those that we’re, essentially, at war against.

Right, start calling them what they are. They are Inserectionist Pinkos and reds, not Progressives. This is the mistake our side makes.

No offense but Marx and his ilk would have considered sexual deviance a luxury bourgeoise problem and recommended the problem be eliminated permanently

Can’t blame woke on them

You can blame them from seeing woke as a tool to destroy us

A tool they sure don’t accommodate

Not in China or Cuba or North Korea

This is self inflicted by a spoiled populace

Fomented by folks always looking to upend traditions while they maintain elite status

Pure messianic humanism on acid

Agreed. I said the ideas were imported here and pushed by their fellow travelers. I didn't say they practiced it. It was a way to break down the West, specifically the United States, so it would be easier to defeat. Soviet Russia was very prudish.

You notice that none of our Embassies in the Moslem world flies that flag.

American commies are exporting their ideas, which are counter to the founding of the country.

Unfortunately, they can do this because they are in charge.

I think it’s been proven through the Verona Papers I think that’s what they’re called that the Soviet union funneled money to urban American radicals some of whom had family contacts dating back to Soviet Russia with the bolsheviks and Mensheviks but anyhow they gave them money in the 1930s 40s 50s and 60s probably in the 20s to actually to help the cause

I never saw this Wolk stuff coming to this degree people laughter political correctness when it first popped up in the mid 80s when my girlfriend I lived in Manhattan was a professor at Barnard College while she worked on her PhD at Columbia and I remember her talking about it and even though she was a conventional liberal she laughed at it thought it was silly boy she and I were both wrong about it were we not

This Soviet connection to radical America has permeated intellectual culture particularly in the eastern cities of our country for a long time starting back to the Fabians is it culminated in characters like the Rosenbergs and Jerry Rubin and Abbie Hoffman and even today I think people like Ron Klain and Mark Elias I have an indirect connection to it certainly also folks like Susan Reich and Valerie Jarrett subscribe to it I don’t think there’s any question about that we have a freeper here who worked against that in the 1960s who knows more about it than I do

It worked its way into early labor movements too

It’s ironic that we are now more work and disintegrating than Russia is

They are the worlds other hegemon besides us and China but I don’t think they’re trying to export communism now they’re trying to export Russian ism
