Patriotism must once again mean the willing and vigorous defense of our life, our liberty, and our way of life. That does not include pornography, drugs, and homosexuality nearly as much as it includes honesty, integrity, and the rewards of hard work unencumbered by the authority of the state.
When liberty comes to mean dignity instead of vulgarity we will be able to stand against tyranny. If we continue to be driven by lust and obscene cravings we will be led by the nose by those who provide filth.
We must demand and require obedience to the law that gave our nation birth because it is the best means to personal freedom and control of tyranny by government.

Yes, the zeitgeist is a result of the intellectual failure to teach Americans the history of this country and the ideas it is founded upon.

It's been slightly over a century that American intellectuals began disseminating German philosophy in the universities. Leonard Peikoff’s book the “Ominous Parallels” helped me understand how the ideas that caused Germans to vote in a brutal tyrant are the same ideas American professors imported here a long time ago.

Ted Cruz that low life sack of dog shiite will not rescue us. He is too busy crying in the corner in his mansion he escaped to in Canada waiting for the second coming. When has he done ANYTHING in Congress. Name ONE thing he has done while up there. Just ONE. Just one thing he has done that has benefited the Citizen of these United States. He is only in it for him and Beck. What a low life scum sucking bottom feeder.

Absolutely spot on. Atheist propaganda has achieved biblical significance since the advent of the liberal takeover of US philosophy departments in the 30’s.
The demonic global conspiracy has been building for nearly 100 years, 150 if you include Marx and Darwin from the 19th century. They are in their end game, the takeover of all national government.
This US election, Brexit, and populist revolts around the world are stepping into the breach and demanding an end to elitist government.

I was referring, more specifically, to the early 1900’s when it became the fashion to go over to Germany to study philosophy. It is Kant who is more important than Marx. And he was not an atheist. But he was a follower of Plato.

I was considering the influence of the German rationalists on philosophy in the US during the 30’s and beyond. They gained a toehold which in about 20 yrs had invaded and taken over the tent. Atheism and its concomitant Scientism was a vital component of that transformation.
Among theologians the popularity of French and Germans overwhelmed the influence of CS Lewis, Tolkein and other Christian scholars.
Intellectually we have been in the sewer for about 50 years.

dear biggirl,

as a note, the brilliant senator from Louisiana, David Vitter, counting his last days, voted FOR handing it over to foreigners.
