You have hit the nail on the head: These "patriotic" and "macho" hysterics are actually a sign of feminization.
These people consistently speak in terms of push-button war from the air. They care nothing about what happens in the world, or to America, in the coming decades, whereas real masculinity is concerned about the long-term. It is typical of the homosexual, state-worshipping, fascist mentality not to care about the long run. Remember the fascistic, homosexual Keynes's dictum, when asked about the long-run implications of his money-printing nostrums: "In the long run, we are all dead."
They don't want to hear anything about American behavior that might actually have aroused hatred for America. Our killing of millions of people through bombs and starvation during the past fifteen years has nothing to do with it!
These "patriotic," "macho" people who are screaming for blood and bombs and destruction are having a screaming, epicene hissy fit. They are a symptom of the feminization of our society--only this feminization in their case is disguised by the fact that they are calling for blood.
It dismays me that these people, these "push button warriors", are, in essence, chimping for this:
"The U.N. is not just, as many Americans suspect, a group of incompetent busybodies. It is, instead, a global criminal enterprise determined to shift power away from individuals and sovereign nation-states to a small band of unaccountable international elites." –Joseph Farah
"Their vision, in a sentence, is a nipple ring on every chest, a homosexual on every student body council, a Satanist at every religious gathering and an imperial militia to enforce it all." --Dorian Ian Atherton on the NWO Globalists ****
In my opinion, you are one of the most intelligent and perceptive posters on these fora, and I usually find myself wishing, after reading one of your messages, that you would join the discussions more often. Not today.
For all of your perceptiveness, intelligence, and understanding of the great tides of history, I think you miss the larger picture here. Yes, we are a feminized culture. Yes, we have awakened to the reality of our Empire. Yes, Empire sucks virtue from the marrow of Republic. All of these things are true. And it is also true that these attacks are related to our practices and policies as an Empire. I'm here to say: that doesn't change things a bit.
God uses Empire just as he uses Republic. Without the massive infrastructure and global reach of Rome, Christ's message would have been so much harder to disseminate throughout the West. Without the civilizing influence of the British Empire, the world would be far more fragmented and culturally impoverished than it is today. Without the American Empire, communism might have truly conquered all as Russia "spread her errors throughout the world."
Witness what happens when Empires retreat into themselves. The fall of Rome in the West led to 500 years of darkness and death. The fall of Constantinople led to the establishment of a permanent Islamic threat at Europe's door. The fall of the British Empire led to the spread of communism and third world nationalism around the globe.
Empires are not perfect; in fact they are downright awful. The practice of Empire is ugly, feminizing, and demoralizing.
The alternative is worse.
