The globe cannot avail a utopian, evenly rotating economy for all people everywhere. There will always be natural and cultural breakers to regulate, slow, and stir the winds and waves of change. Human action can no more be smoothly rotating than the weather and wind. There will always be whirling differences among peoples in respect of relative competencies versus relative dependencies. Different geographical locations will sponsor different currents, natural resources, demographics, gene pools, traditions, values, languages, social proclivities, health priorities, and tax and redistributive systems. There will always be variations in human and cultural energies, interests, jealousies, apprehensions of crisis and chaos, and artistic and spiritual aspirations. There will always be producing nations and dysfunctional, jealous, whirling, chaotic, rampaging, and despotic nations. Different cultural locales will assimilate variations in individual initiative, competence, and social charity versus codependence, gangsterism, and despotic chaos.
Simply put, Americans cannot fix the chaos of the world by opening its borders to all denizens of chaos, nor by corrupt laundering that allows foreign sheiks and crony corporate money launderers to buy America's politicians. The ideal of borderless, smoothly rotating, free trade, free of crony corporatism, is no less utopian or dystopian than the ideals of international communism and worldwide caliphate.
Yet, humanity needs ideals. And there abide important differences among the various utopian ideals. For example, an ideal of free trade among peoples of representative republics tends to honor what is most essential for allowing each of us to be a human being: That is, broad freedom of individual expression --- which entails freedom of association, enterprise, dedication, and belief. The other two ideals, worldwide communism or caliphate, lead to inhumane confining and subjugation of human will, towards abusive totalitarianism. Such ideals tend to reduce us towards becoming subhumans. They tend to keep us in perpetual infantilism, as infants ruled by enfants terrible. They may be suitable for some locales, cultures, and gene pools. They are not suitable for Americans.

I have not much experienced the Bible being used as a book of death and hate among people of even moderate intellect or good will. Among those who use it to rationalize death and hate, I suspect they would as often as not have found their way to such influences, regardless. Among believers I have known, I don't think many have been influenced by the Bible to kill or hate. Rather, many have been influenced towards charity. I suspect most people look to the Bible less for factual truth than for figurative guidance. When people come together in good faith to worship God, I doubt they come to learn how to kill and hate. I suspect most come to seek guidance to assimilate and live as responsible, good natured parents and citizens. Those who have difficulty assimilating to sustainable values may tend to find that "hateful." Still, I do not doubt that some preachers do try to foist bad values on marginally competent congregations. Reverend Wright and Father Pfleger come to mind. But I don't think it's reasonable to extrapolate from that to blame the Bible as a book of death and hate. Like life itself, it is much more than that.
Religion should not be imposed, either way. Neither should Washington require states to recognize gay unions as marriages. Neither should Washington be entitled to require parents to put up with public schools forcing or being forced to teach their kids that gay unions are normal. You say you don't want religion imposed on you. But what's mainly at issue are values. Presumably, you are fine with the values that command against killing. Too many militant gays talk about not wanting to be imposed upon, but they don't mind imposing their agendas on everyone else. Best would be if Washington got out of the education business altogether. But, it is not about to do that. So long as that is the case, the only alternative short of lying down to be rolled over by depraved insanity from children who never grew into responsible adults is to allow people to fight against Washington's forcing of travesties upon their values. It's the values that are necessary to sustain a republic that concern me. It just so happens that many of those values are reflected in the Ten Commandments. Apart from that, I agree that forced teaching of religious dogma has no place in government policy. Meantime, not much is won in any election if we just swing back and forth between electing depraved children.
Corporatists get rich trading with Muslims. Muslim leaders stir up chaos, and their despots take the riches. Which they and the corporatists use to buy our politicians. Ask: Who pays to enrich the corporatists, empower the despots, keep the Middle East in turmoil, and arm it to bring the turmoil into America? Ordinary Americans pay. (Obama calls this crisis farming "healing the planet" ... Or bringing the planet to heel.)
Americans pay In lives lost, jobs lost, and treasure consumed. If morality played a role, we would not be trading with, arming, or enriching the Middle East or its despots. Dealing with them only helps them keep nooses around the necks of their own people and warp the minds of kids of future generations. So long as we lack the will to kill all the despots, occupy the land, and criminalize Islam, then we at least ought to have the decency to quarantine the place and not make it worse or let it spread.
Among Russian Communism, German Naziism, Japanese Bushidoism, and Middle East Mohammedism, I would say that Mohammedism is the worst of the evils. I long for the leader who will say the obvious.
Proverbs 29:13: Where there is no vision, the people perish.
There abide various trinitarian permutations. One is RFR-- Reconciler, Family, Republic. Without decent respect for Reconciler and Family, there is no decent Republic. Without RFR, there is no assimilation of Will with which to throw off the religious despotisms under which commie-islamists warp and enslave minds. Without RFR, there is no one who can speak and inspire on behalf of conservation of liberty.
Corinthians 13: Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not love, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.
Word games have grossly haunted all modern warfare. The FDR administration was filled with progressive word smiths who played the American people and sold out the republic. There is little that is really new with the current regime, except that the scale of its gamery has been vastly extended by modern technology. Also, because of multi culti erasure of defining national boundaries and mores. Also, because of conflation and confusion between the realms of science and human morality to such an extent as to reduce most people to the status of manageable cows.
As Orwell noted, society is adept at playing word games that conflate topics and confound the communication of ideas and the assimilation of interests. This difficulty may be rooted in how spiritual concepts of morality and justice have gotten twisted up with scientific concepts of natural goodness.
To understand the root, forget Islam. It is too deep into the black hole of looneyspace and bafflegab ever to be useful to recover any sense or path towards human decency. But what of Judaism and Christianity? Their commonality seems to abide with an idea of a complete separation in soul between God and humanity, to such an extent as in some ways to seem almost polytheistic. Maybe this is because we have no mortal experience, control, or measure over any Entity that has eternal and unbounded capacity to express and communicate itself simultaneously and synchronously as both a holism and as a multiplicity of particular and fluxing perspectives, communicating and feeding back apprehensions of locally and continuously renormalizing contacts among contexts.
Such an Entity would be so singular to our experience that it could not by us be confirmed or measured, but ony intuited and empathetically respected. Suppose a Source abides, as a singularity, that has capacity to communicate and reconcile its apprehensions across its aspect as a holism and its aspect as a fluxing sum of temporal-spatial contexts and perspectives. Under Western concepts of religion and spirituality, what may such a conceptualization inspire, in respect of civilizing influences and what it means to "walk and talk" in dignity with the Source? Could not such conceptualization of a Source-Reconciler share space with Judaism and Christianity, without negating their essential dignity? May not some such conceptualization reduce some of the unnecessary friction, confusion, and ill will that abides between spiritualists, religionists, and scientists? Would it not help unite them against so called religions and philosophies that seek to reduce human beings to cattle?
The evenly rotating economy is being chewed up by the evenly rotating scammery.
Newsflash to "scientists of morality": It is not a scientific hypothesis merely to rationalize a convenient explanation that cannot be falsified even if it has no truth value. What data collection can tell us whether the cause of minority weight gain is weighted more towards cultural racism of whites versus cultural racism of minorities versus cultural not caring? If minority status is associated with cultural indoctrination towards codependent collectivism, would that not just as well account for lack of independent self discipline? Don't collectivists tend by self definition to blame and put responsibility on anyone but themselves? Would not that propensity constitute gross racism by minorities? Wouldn't indoctrination in collectivism within an entitlement minded society be a more intuitively likely explanation for obesity among minorities? This study has the smell of typical elitist crap.
The communism they seek will never wither away the despotic state. Rather, the various sects of communism will induce perpetual war and chaos. Just the same as sects of Islam. The communism they are plotting for is not a real destination on any map. Their real end is the same as their means: Despotic chaos. Perpetual war of one against all, forced into collectives by totalitarians. Ah, the joinder of Marxism and Mohammedism into the zealous science and jealous religion of materialism. Obama and the "material science of redistributive morality." All swoon. Sarc.
Obama's essential beingness is so invested and caught up in chaos that he cannot possibly maintain his mo-blow without churning crisis all around him. Too many small a americans were sucked in by the suckwind. Fundamentally, he wants to suck away all the best things that America stands for. Imagine if he had Stalin's power. Stalin never quit collectivizing, starving, misdirecting, and killing the little people until he finally died. Obama is the effeminate version of Stalin. I don't know why any women would want Hillary. We are already having our First Femifascist Prez.
Passing legal reforms when there is no will in the establishment to enforce them is like trying to fly by tugging on your bootlaces. The establishment will have to be rooted out. That will not be done until things get so bad that chaos runs amuck. Then, will power will be found, but only because it is running amuck. When that happens, all bets are off. An alternative would be to educate and arouse the middle class of decent Americans. Given all the institutionalized disinformation and misdirection, that is an Augean Task.
The Crony World longs for a globally recognized new world corporatism, where national borders and free thinking middle classes are no longer relevant. Followers think Islam will be satisfied to be their tool for destroying nations and middle classes. Between the ignorance and corruption that is bent to put human freedom in its coffin, it remains to be seen which will be the hammer and which will be the nail: Crony corporatists or Islamic nutbags?
Islam has become part of the tool kit for divide and rule despots for the Establishment that wants to rule the masses (for their own good -- sarc). Two-class Establishment-phobia has become more than rational.
Representative republicanism has no chance in most of the screwed up world. So, to screw up America, all that is necessary is to import multi culti from most of the world. This is greased by "educating" us in "studies" about the greatness and wonder of inassimilable salad bowl diversity. The more mult culti we import, the less chance for the last best hope of human decency. Look at most of the world. Pray tell, what's so great about it and the alliances of corrupton and ignorance that rule it? What's so great about drowning America in it?
See also https://www.youtube.com/watch?.... Khalid al monsour is a well funded expert in the politics of racial division to bring down America. When you look at Obama's techniques for employing racial division, it is foolish, considering his mentors, to chalk them up to anything other than malignant hatred of the American Ideal. See also http://www.newsmax.com/Newsfro.... Cannibals and connivers are adept at recognizing new "talent."
The West is being taken for a one way ride down an ever more frightful slope. For profits secondary to plunder, various connivers propped up Obama to put him in position to bring America down by filling our heads with utopian ideas of false equalities and infantile demands for fairness, unbacked by anything other than false science. Obama was used to give America a sapping pill, so we could be easier plundered and hollowed out from within and so connivers could consolidate rule from without. So now it seems to be settled science in the minds of infant rulers: The fairness of gay science demands that gay marriage be treated as an exact equal of marriage between persons of opposite sex. Next up: 2 plus 2 is ... whatever you want it to be.
I think modern scientific hubris and its associated loss of assimilating faith have much to do with the stink. The downside of multi culti just for the sake of multi culti is that its adherents have no hope and no means to acquire hope of any assimilating ideal of human decency, dignity, or responsible freedom. Science, just for the sake of science, offers no basis for bringing people together to seek in common before God to serve higher assimilating ideals. By definition, to worship multi culti for the sake of multi culti is to take it as "settled science" that there abides no higher basis for assimilating qualitative values. There is no perversion for which so called "scientists of morality" seem unwilling or unable to invent justifications and then call them derived from "science." Such "science" is just elitists claiming authority to take moral responsibility away from ordinary families.
In reality, science cannot settle moral concerns. Science does not prove there abides no proto consciousness or Godhead, merely by assuming it does not abide. At most, science merely says science cannot measurably prove an immeasurable Godhead. But duh! we already know that. The basis for believing in a source-Godhead abides with a quality of empathetic spiritual intuition. Whether one believes or not cannot be based purely in science. Rather, one simply adopts an orientation concerning spirituality. One gets it or one does not. Science, standing in inferior relationship to a quality of beingness, has no-thing to do with it.
I think there abide three fundaments: qualitative consciousness, relationally measurable and communicable substance, and pre-set in-form-ation and functions (such as natural laws). Science deals with the second two fundaments, but necessarily ignores the first (else it would not be science). Which is why science, by itself, can never be a complete guide for the quality of spiritual empathy that we call "morality."
Rather, an orientation that is based purely in scientific materialism tends to divide people into multi culti that have little hope of assimilating a decent civilization. And that, I think, creates a void that sucks in the prog rot we are smelling.
To avoid polytheism, I incline to conceptualize that we are superimposed, imperfect perspectives of the same Godhead, varying in space-time function and subject to its reconciliation. The quality of its consciousness, as consciousness, is unchanging. But each quantitative measure of its locally reconciled experiences is in flux. It is the proto singularity that is both constant and changing, that we may intuit but not measure.
Re: The crony corporatists have aligned with the politicians to drive our
jobs offshore, raise our taxes to unbearable levels, impoverish
Americans with record unemployment, and create an entitlement mentality
based on government dependence.
Ruling Rinos aligned with ruled Dinos to destroy the independent, free thinking middle class. This alliance plays good cop bad cop like a buzz saw. First it makes American labor unable to compete. Then it uses that inability as justification for selling out to despots abroad. They set the middle class up, to carve it up and reimpose perpetual debt servitude. They say free worldwide competition among desperate laborers will smooth out to lift all boats. Meanwhile, the gulf is widening. Since when do those whose overweening purpose is to obtain power or wealth really want to increase the proportionate power or wealth of the masses they rule?
But even if most boats would be lifted, at what cost would this be to representative republics that are drowned in tsunamis of illegal and desperate foreign labor? I place no trust in godless Dinos, nor in godless Rinos. Opening our borders and our markets to cheap and desperate labor does not produce either political freedom or economic independence for the general citizenry. At best, it produces cheap goods for awhile, which soon cannot be purchased without socialistic redistribution because all productive jobs have been shipped away by cannibals bent on farming people like cattle.
Under a system where every institution is owned and operated by godless and corrupt cronies, there is no such thing as free market capitalism. There is only corrupt crony corporatism, which dupes the masses by telling us how great everything would be if only there could be free market capitalism. Which these "swell" people have no intention whatsoever of ever facilitating, assuming such an evenly rotating globe of free trade were even possible.
There are three main avenues for destroying a representative republic. One is by mal-educating its youth. A second is by replacing its gene pool and culture with indoctrinated collectivists from across borders. A third is by crony taking of its resources and industries and transferring them to collectivist labor markets abroad, whose despots then reinvest profits in buying more influence from disloyal representatives within. The third way is just as destructive as the first two.
End the income tax. Establish a progressive tax on consumption. Impute taxable consumption to whomever authorizes or transfers money abroad from within. Such consumptive transfer would be taxed once. Income earned therefrom would not be subsequently taxed. Enforce borders. Don't sell out responsible citizens in exchange for collectivist serfs who want to be ruled in all things. Defend the representative republic.
Most parents with children want them to be happy, challenged, and resourceful. Given the modern frequency of divorce, daughters especially need to be economically self-sustaining. Problem is: The grinding down of the middle class expands to grind the labor that is available. So, for a family to have a double income has not translated into greater economic security. Instead, familes have sacrificed to allow even more labor to be sucked from the middle class, with less to show in return. That problem cannot now be addressed, nor should it be addressed, by expecting women to be satisfied with housemaid status. Instead, something needs to be done to relieve the middle class from the elitist game that seeks to keep all labor under corporatists' thumbs, as debt slaves. American labor and voters must demand dignity enough not to be forced to compete against third world serf labor.
Corporations owned and operated by disloyal cronies and foreign despots need to be checked against cannibalizing America by exporting and selling our heritage, infrastructure, and industry at cheap prices abroad. Corporations did not and do not shed the blood that made and continue to make this nation. Their heads did not, on their own, earn entitlements to sell America out to third world despotisms, whose rulers are bent on cannibalizing America by pusing their despotism back on us by buying our own politicians. Obama, for example, is a Saudi creation.
Yes, let American labor compete, but let it compete against Western labor, more so than against collectivizing despots who seek to reduce the world to a lowest common serfdom. Crony corporatists who add little to civilization apart from cannibalizing off freedom hardly "earned" any such entitlement. To continue to buy their arguments is to condemn middle class strivers to the chasms and holes being built for the masses.
Rinos, who have refused to enforce America's borders, enriched our enemies, and allowed despotic nations to use America as a trade dumping ground, have done so on the backs of dual-income, middle-class families. Americans of good will must stop being dupes to the deceits of Rinos, who have been the ruin of America since Reagan left office. Under the present tax system, the foreign corporatist form is a shell game for eating Western civilizations out from within and transferring their wealth to third world, collectivizing despotisms. The Rino-Dino alliance is about nothing if it is not about the establishment of a two-class, ruler-ruled society. It means to accomplish this by neutering middle class producers who still believe in We The People. The argument for division of labor on a smoothly rotating globe of free trade is a chimera as well as a Trojan Horse for the enserfment of the West and the blotting out of every representative republic. That blotting out is now proceeding at an alarming and accelerating pace.
Making the world safe for despots to use corporations to raid the resources of every republic and use them to buy politicians who can print money faster than they can launder it will not preserve any republic. We are on a steep slide to reimpose serfdom under a new kind of feudal overlordship: the feudalism of a corporatist peerage, where princes are cronies, cronies are princes, and republics are virtually non-existents. Think again before trusting apologists for replacing governance by republics with governance by string pulling corporatists. Behind the phony debate about gov versus business, the real business of corporatists is gov, and the influential interests of gov are corporatist. Neither gov nor corp "rule." Under the evolging system, what "rules" are corp-governors, through the chaos of whirling and revolving doors.
I think, with totalitarianians contending with anarchists, the upshot will tend to be deceit, distrust, repression, resentment, hell. Chaos. The better angels of people's natures will not feel invited to express their talents and energies, but their less angelic natures will feel compelled to curry power within a repressive hierarchy. The way through such chaos is in recognizing and expressing the spiritual spark of oneself in others, and working to protect and reward each spirit-brother's liberty of self expression. This requires skill to separate wheat from chaff, i.e., to separate empathetic individualists from repressive collectivists. This necessitates borders --- not to keep individualists in, but to hobble, quarantine, prison, or keep the inhumane sickness of collectivists out. Or at least to keep them limited to manageable levels. The worst thing ever imposed on America was multi culti merely for the sake of multi culti. Mixing radical collectivists into America is like injecting ebola into an innocent child. The devil never stops twisting. Al Capone's people would have been drawn immediately to the sick, collectivizing, de-humanizing pathologies and talents of Saul Alinsky. (See Bread Upon The Waters, April 20, 2012)
Popper favored piecemeal initiatives over utopian initiatives. As a "fundamental changer," Obama is a utopian. Even in Plato's day, there were more than a few utopian collectivist efforts, none of which could be considered successful in any humane way. The "practical utopia" of America's founders did not consist in reliance on the perfect ruler or perfect laws. It consisted, in part, in checks and balances to try to protect against worst case leaders. However, without a worthy, god respecting citizenry, no mere system of forms or laws can protect against a corrupt and ignorant gang of despots. If there abides a utopia, it does not consist in mere materials, forms, or leaders. It consists in a spirit of respect for what it means to be a relativly free, independent, competent, and decent human being. Forms and checks and balances can feed such a spirit, when it is planted in receptive ground. But not when it is planted in a multi culti rot of alien moon seeds. Obama is America's vanguard for alien moon seeds.
Too many of the initiatives of the regime and its academic apologists consist in utopian changes bent on fundamentally restructuring societies, economies, and values. Obama's ideas concerning Obamacare, comprehensive immigration reform, carbon credits, redefinition of families, and reparative redistributions taken from producers are no more sensible than Lysenko's program for breeding hardier corn by seeding on top of snowfall. Obama, as a front for corrupt and ignorant utopians, has not just hoodwinked the masses. He has "avalanched" them. He is the front for the worst possible case that our founders tried by formalisms to protect us against. Because too many Americans have lost faith, such formalisms have become hollow. It is amazing that la la happy talk hedonists think LGBTIQ and Hillary will protect them against a quickening tidal wave of a much more vicious kind of collectivist horde. "Coming to a theater near you."
Not much can be done until more people pull the scales from their eyes. Until then, salvage whomever and whatever you can. And take every opportunity to expose the soul dead evil that possesses every collectivist choomer, including the chief choomer and his choom gang.
Obama is a community organizing, aider and abettor of fascist collectivism. In a war between American independence and any kind of collectivism, he will sabotage America. He has so signaled to every sentient observer. He will not take a firm side against any variety of collectivism until American independence is first dhimmied. Only then will he commit to any side in the eternal chaos of collectivism. He is burying our borders under waves of illegals, yet many residents of the land (I won't call them Americans) remain in ignorant or corrupt denial. Obama the soulless Choomer has been at war with human individuality his entire life.
What we have are refugees from collectivism. Islamic collectivism, commie collectivism, drug and cartel collectivism, progressive collectivism. Shameless fascists, all.
To broker souls for the Devil's collective, community organizers must first sell their own. So of course they can have no conscience, no shame, and no new ideas in defiance to those of their chosen master. Once you're willing to sell out your soul, it's a nothing to sell out your country.
The collectivist alliance of Rulers-Ruled and Rino-Dinos was well on its way long before Obama. The Establishment never would have consented to Obama had they believed they could not control him. Obama is simply continuing the cannibalizing of the country right on plan. And good Americans are frozen, right on plan. Afraid to impeach, defund, or speak ill of Obama in plain terms on national TV. Obama is an obvious traitor to the Constitution and American values. But who dares say so?
Why do media talking heads dare not? Not because of Obama, but because of the worldwide, loose consortium of corrupt cronies that runs Obama. Cronies who believe in the power of connivery and corruption have captured corporate control over the collective. They are bent on the eradication of Christianity, the family, the middle class, and representative republicansm. As Christianity is chained, they think the struggle will be between the carnality of cartels versus the chaos of contenders for the cosmic caliphate. Obama is the crisis-bringer of opportunity in the corrupt and chaotic struggle of cartel versus caliphate. Once Christianity is shackeled, the establishment's plan entails that the masses be beasts of burden, that is, when they're not sacrificial goats.
Progs want to be part of a collective. Stand in lines. Be seen standing in lines. Drive during rush hour. Be part of the metro. Make love in snakeball orgies. The love of collectives has been indoctrinated to the point that it is being favored in the gene pool. Collective Peeps are here. Collective uber alles!
What we have here is a vast alliance of elitists who want to rule collectivists who want to be ruled equal and made so in fiat money. Metrosexuals teasing femimen. Play time will be rudely interrupted when the jihadis move to the next phase.
For many people, to be indoctrinated in Islam is to be mentally traumatized. We have millions of people in prisons who have been indoctrinated in crime. Our prisons serve more as training grounds than as rehabilitation centers. Those who are rehabilitated are often saved by Christian based religion. Islam is different. I don't see how Islam, in the prison of an Islamic country, can facilitate rehabilitatation of the mental trauma of its inmates. Trying to do so is pouring money and resources down a sinkhole. Rehabiliation at home would make more sense. As we rehabilitate at home, maybe we can quarantine the mad dog nations of Islam. If we can't reach our kids at home, we have no prayer abroad.
When psychopaths rule, they are comfortable imposing collectivism. Collectivism breeds chaos more than national identity. Collectivists are filled with dishonest postulations of dogma. Many people can become indoctrinated with habits for entertaining dogma that allow them to become lost in collectivist mazes, from which they may never escape in this lifetime. A person who early on develops habits of intellectual honesty will tend to be better able to recognize and exit dead ends of dogma.
Psychopathic collectivists do not care that human Interests and talents are not equal. The interests of a person whose IQ is 40 or more points higher than average will often be considerably different. To force him or her to pretend to be equal to average is inhumane. Why force him to identify either with the ruled or the rulers? Why force him to be a political Collectivist rather than a humane Individualist? Why force him to choose to identify either with the Ignorant or the Corrupt, as opposed to the Good?
In many respects, the programs of Plato, Mohammad, Marx, Lenin, Stalin, Hitler, FDR, and Obama are collectivist and therefore contrary and indecent to honest human nature. This would be readily apparent, had not so much deceit been invested in political propaganda and demagoguery that is phD styled and piled, ever higher and deeper, in learning that is devoid of wisdom. That state supported deceit can twist minds into grotesque rationalizations is routinely evidenced in jihadi demonstrations of head cutting. Not to mention the national suicide of twice electing Obama.
To require that all smart and talented people must either Dumb Down or Corrupt Up is to force society towards constant degradation. Above truth, Plato sanctioned deceit by rulers when necessary to calm the questioning of the masses.Punishment was sanctioned for some who sought truth over state myths. This was supposed to stop the degradation of the republic. The effect, however, has been to degrade the good and smart people of each generation. In trying to avoid degradation, Plato sanctioned methods of collectivism that have ever since accelerated degradation. How many millions of competent small businessmen were slaughtered in Russia, Germany, and China? Evidently, in many respects, Plato and his collectivist followers did not know how little they knew.
Too many people think in strait-jacketed terms of a necessary and linear fall from the material grace of a golden age. They think entropy of material nature must push us linearly towards constant degradation. They think harsh girdles can and should be imposed upon social collectives in order to delay inevitable decay. They do not recognize that we partake of a flux, whereby entropy may be exchanged for information, and collapse of old bubbles may be exchanged for new bubbles, in holistic and never-ending fashion. By imposing their spiritually draining strait-jackets, they degrade themselves in a self-fulfilling, de-humanizing prophecy.
Collectivists always strait-jacket and de-humanize society. In consequence, they impose chaos upon the unfolding of human potential and spirituality. Their "progress" is perpetual chaos, but it trends totalitarian. They must constantly war, chasing the devil to discover the biggest bull goose looney who should rule. Few recognize that the position of ruling Reconciler is filled, and they are not it.
It's not just ISIS on the move. Russia and China are getting America used to being punked by sorties and submarines near our borders. By the time Obama is done, America will be on its back, barely in the ring, hanging onto the ropes. Russia and China are far more knowledgeable and experienced as "community organizers" than Obama. While Obama's hero, Saul Alinsky, was born before the 1917 Bolshevik Revolution, his Rules for Radicals was not published until 1971.
In any event, the problem for radicals who organize contending collectives is that their efforts produce perpetual chaos or war. They require a foil or opponent, like the establishment or some group of scapegoats, like Jews or Americans or Whities. "Whities" may not consider themselves in competition with communities organized by radicals, but communities organized by radicals see themselves as asymmetrical competitiors of "whities" (producers who need to be sheared). Thus, radical community collectivizers feed as parasites on other groups, and they do not assimilate producers among themselves. Rather, they use people who do not radicalize to their cause as lower life forms, to be intimmidated, conquered, sheared, worked, and dhimmied.
Alinsky's rules for organizing communities do not inspire unity in respect of any purpose higher than to contend for programs for collectively forced redistribution. Far from releasing the inner initiative, energy and potential of each individual, Alinsky's rules stomp that out. Far from respecting spiritual purposefulness, Alinsky radicals deny the legitimacy, even the existence, of assimilative spiritual purposes. If total chaos and war of all against all is "progress," then Alinsky Progs who are bent on dehumanizing-collectivization are "progressive."
However, when it comes to knowing how to play Alinsky rules, Russia and China are far ahead. The commies can draw from a wealth of experience to teach Prog metrosexuals more than a few things --- especially regarding the rule of making an opponent live up to his code. Obama's metrosexual code is that America should downsize its military, be more flexible in bending to the will of collectivist societies, employ outreach to Muslims, lead from behind, and "not do stupid stuff" -- like putting troops against crazy committed collectivists. So Russia and China coordinate and build on small, incremental insults against American power. They know Obama can do nothing without violating his "code." Either way, they will punk Obama, over and over. Being punked is what Obama set himself and America up for, in the way that he ran for office. This is the nature of the punk that our infantile electorate voted for. The commie pros were playing Alinsky tactics before Alinsky was in high school. Now, American metrosexual Alinskyites are in over their heads. The nation and the world will be punked to pay for America having elected these clowns.
The work and chaos of Alinsky Progs is never done, but their destruction of human freedom and dignity is often total. An Alinsky Prog like Obama cannot defend Western freedom and dignity. Obama cannot defend our values abroad, nor can he even defend our borders at home. And the chess playing radicals in Russia and China and even among the crazy muslims know that. America and the West, that is, human freedom and dignity, are at grave peril. We have made an incorrigible enemy of our values the guardian of our nation. And, even though we know it, we are fearful to impeach, defund, or remove him. We have been utterly, abjectly, feminized and made ripe for rape by trog progs most heinous. Surrenders come quickly once morale is sufficiently punked. In the Battle for Singapore, Percival's surrender to Yamashita came astonishingly quickly.
The prog base does not want content of character. It wants content of cannabis, carnality, and collectivism. Without spiritual inspiration, most of the people of the world are slaves either to their immediate wannas or their despotic overlords.
Elitist btards have messed with every decent group, not just blacks. They have intimidated decent people so that very few are strong enough to speak truth. Conservatives in government and academia feel they must huddle behind closed doors, else they will be shunned, banned, demoted, audited, or fired. Physical terrorism is rampant in some parts of the world, but mind terrorism and intimidation are beyond rampant in the West. Why? It can only be because some very evil btards have decided they should and will rule. These people almost make Charlie Manson and his divide and rule helter skelter seem sane. These btards generally claim to be enlightened beyond religion. Bs. They worship themselves, when they're not worshipping their genitalia. The proof they are trying to destroy independent free thinkers is in their border (lack of) enforcement policy. The evil stands naked, obvious and leering before every person who dares to look, who isn't side tracked with some kind of dope.
When was the last time the central gov did something that improved education? Everything it does incents failure and debt. Central gov has done quite enough. But that's a story that media owning cronies will not find it in their interest to convey. Self worshipping elites have learned how to increase their authority by sabotaging the boat to make it take on more bilge water.
I begin to believe something fundamentally spiritual, perhaps even biblical, is unfolding.
Anything that eases the path to collectivist enserfment, Progs are for it.
WAR -- Collective discipline incidental to War -- check.
AMMO -- Stockpiling of ammo and arms for brownshirts -- check.
CRIMINAL SYNDICATION -- Uniting Rinos and Dinos in common cause against thinking Americans -- check.
BIG BROTHER -- Using the NSA to spy on and be able to generate dossiers on all potential political and judicial opponents -- check.
THUGIZATION OF CENTRAL AGENCIES -- Deploying the IRS, FBI, EEOC, etc., to track down and intimidate or punish non-sympathizers with totalitarian collectivism -- check.
GUNS -- Control or confiscation of firearms secondary to monopolization of police force -- partial check.
BRIBING VOTES -- Printing stashes as needed to get out the dumb and dead vote -- check.
IMMIGRATION -- Comprehensive flooding of borders with third world collectivists -- check.
CHILDREN -- Replacing parents with bureaucrats for overseeing children -- partial check.
STUDENTS AND SCIENCE -- Indoctrinating students that collectivist socialism is science -- check.
DRUGS -- Collective stupor of drugs -- check.
COOL CHOOMING -- Kids, academics, entertainers, and bureaucrats have been indoctrinated that up is down, slavery is freedom, Che is cool, and Obama is smart and competent and caring -- check.
ENTITLEMENTISM OF POLAR BEAR HUNTERS -- Encouraging profiling by non-whities -- check.
OBAMACARE -- Deciding who can live -- partial check.
CARBON BANKING -- Central regulation of breathing oxygen and exhaling carbon dioxide -- partial check.
CHRISTIANITY -- Banning of discussion of Christian individual and personal relationships with the Reconciler -- check.
CONSTITUTION -- Appointment of justices bent on deconstructing the Constitution -- near check.
DHIMMIZATION OF AMERICANS -- Branding all individually competent thinkers as "whities," who cannot profile or share any interests without being investigated for racism or hate crimes -- check.
ISLAM -- Importation and virtual invitation of jihadi enforcers of collective subjugation -- check.
When you tally all the checks and partial checks, the dots connect: WE INDEED HAVE BEEN MADE "READY FOR HILLARY." The new head of the Fox network says so. Thus, a syndicate of crony mobsters posing as elite and caring social scientists means to subjugate the mass of humanity and return us to the days of unquestioning serfdom.
They will fail, but only because what they will produce must instead be the chaos of poverty, envy, hate, and hell. Out of the ruins of such hubris, perhaps the meekest will survive to start us back along the long road to decent civilization. Much as the barbarians made a ruin of Rome, the collectivists have "progressed" far in making a ruin of America. This ruination was not done in a day, and the biggest part of it will not be turned back by the GOP.
In a sane world, Obama would never have been elected. In a sane world, Romney could have put the wood to Obama without fear of offending the delecate sensibilities of the voters who feel more than they think. In a sane world, hundreds of millions of citizens would be shouting for Obama's immediate removal. In a sane world, Hillary would have no chance.
The sanity of our world has been thoroughly deconstructed. Why? I think because we have in pride and hubris thought we should approach the Reconciler more in science than in innate spiritual intuition. There is a price for such pride and hubris, and civilization is paying it. The dominos are being put in place. When the right one is pushed, I think there will be a cascade. The war by collectivists on individualists gets more obvious every day. At some point, the wannabe masters will try to lock down their payoff: de facto syndication of crony influence, subjugation of the world collective, and virtual erasure of national borders.
What about a "small s" sadist who hoodwinks the people with lies, shuts down debate with unsupported assertions, rules with his pen, and occupies the White House so he can stir up chaos and then go golfiing? Trolls are deeply invested Progs. Most especially, they lie.
Obama lied when he said he would rely on public campaign funding, but then opted out. Reid lied when he espoused that the nuclear option against filibustering should not be used, but then used it once his party acquired power. Stalin lied, lied, and lied some more when he agreed to post-war terms for dividing spheres of influence and return of battlefield prisoners. The commies in the FDR admin lied about not being commies. LBJ lied about the Gulf of Tonkin. Hackers live a lie.
Alinsky's Rules tell Progs to make opponents live up to their codes. Alinsky's Rules say nothing about Progs needing to live up to any rules of their own. Progs are fine with the "progress" of benefitting collectively on other people's money and at taking what they deem they need. As to contributing what they are able, not so much. It is senseless to try to fight Progs "fairly" under their own rules, because they respect no rules under which any concept of fairness could make sense. They respect only their immediate wannas. Progs do not want to debate under rules of debate. They simply want to get off.
Progs are not concerned with intellectual honesty because they do not believe in any truth to be honest about. They believe in a a game of deconstruction. Consciousness is directly sensed by experiencing it, as an organism. As a quality, Consciousness finds potential associative expression for every place and time. Yet, Progs tend to believe that Consciousness dies as each temporal-spatial perspective flickers out.
There abides no measurement of anything in space and time that is not then and there at some level consciously experienced. When you take a measurement, you experience it consciously. Thus, direct evidence of a shared and indestructible (albeit fluxing) spiritual quality is all around at all sensible times and places. Yet Progs are programmed to sense it not, because it cannot be confined to their personal and material measure. As Progs practice denying God, they practice being oblivious to any concept of intuitively empathetic, non-trivial truth and continuing purposefulness.
Thus, Progs become trivial persons with trivial interests and doped up values. Their "hope and change" is to find comfort and security by imposing their hopeless and trivial dopery on everyone, by taking over collectives under which they are willing to forcibly reduce everyone else. Progs want to impose a collective that is composed of infants. In this way, they seek to deconstruct: With lies, cheating, violence, terror, bribery, ridicule, tantrum throwing, crying, destroying, and, most of all, pretense. Pretense at being the most fit to rule because of "knowledge" of "science." Even though, when you scratch a prog-perpetual-infant, you find there is no truth in them in which they really believe. Trolls are cyber Progs.
We have no choice to fail to make choices. As long as we are conscious, we will participate, one way or another, in making choices. That's a self evident fact -- not a faith.
There is a faith aspect related to it, however. in that all perspectives of consciousness are related. At ultimate level, consciousness is consciousness. At ultimate level, the power of consciousness abides beyond reduction to the measurable. Spiritual empathy among perspectives of consciousness is innate. By empathy I do not mean love, although love may often be entailed. Rather, I mean intuiting and appreciating the aspect of your consciousness in another perspective.
Human beings, as social beings, have social choices to make. Do they want to faciliate decent respect for the freedom and dignity of each individual to the other? Or do they want collectively to subordinate the power of their individual minds to serve the stultifying will of a single brute or brutish ideal? As to which path they "should" take, science can provide no answer. Yet, participants will choose a path. In doing so, they will be giving expression to their faith, whether or not they wish to name it as such. In that respect, faith is not avoidable.
The parables taught by Jesus have much to do with facilitating a language for communicating values that can sustain a decent civilization among relatively free thinking human beings. For those who wish to facilitate communication for sustaining decent civilization, I see no alternative to faith. Faith in Reconciler, family, and decent, representative republicanism. The alternative is inhumane reduction to collective borgdom under servitude to a hierarchy of brute elitists or brutish algorithms.
Intuition of other perspectives of empathy is not illogical, but directly experienced. Many deny it because they want everything that is not denied to be confirmed in measurement. But there abides an obvious, interpenetrating, experiential aspect of consciousness that is beyond measure. Of that, one can pose as accepting or denying.
Progs, however, practice being unconcerned with intellectual honesty, because they practice not believing in any truth to be honest about. They profess for a game of deconstruction. Consciousness is directly sensed by experiencing it, as an organism. As a quality, Consciousness finds potential and associative expression for every place and time. Yet, Progs tend to believe that Consciousness dies as each temporal-spatial perspective flickers out.
There abides no measurement of anything in space and time that is not then and there at some level consciously experienced. When you take a measurement, you experience it, consciously. Thus, direct evidence of a shared and indestructible (albeit fluxing) spiritual quality is all around at all sensible times and places. Yet, Progs operate under a program
to profess to sense it not. Because it cannot be confined to their personal and material measure. As Progs practice denying the Reconciling aspect of Consciousness, they practice being oblivious to any concept of intuitively empathetic, non-trivial truth and continuing purposefulness. Even though, as Progs go about denying purposefulness, they do it purposefully. In denying truths that are more than trivial, Progs become trivial. They choose to make themselves "worthy" of borgdom. I would not care so much, except that they want to take everyone else with them.
The delegation of power and discretion would not mean much if it did not include power and discretion to do less than entirely correct --- often including wrong. So, just how wrong should people of a society or gov allow a parent or anyone else to be in the rearing and teaching of children? Different people would draw lines at different things. So, society needs institutions and forums for people to come together at different levels to reason together. Society needs local governance, local churches, local school boards. It does not need to be undermining families. It is generally better for people to govern themselves by reasoning together at the lowest rational level. This is why feds should generally butt out, even when fed experts think themselves to have the best answers and standards for nearly every conceivable situation. Besides, if wrong decisions are made, it tends to be better that the people closest to the situation be availed to learn from the experience.
So yes, tolerance must be allowed for adults to engage in vices. Yet, some socially acceptable standards ought not be exceeded as parents go about raising children. No level of citizenry or gov ought to be required to stand by as an adult beats, mutilates, sexually abuses, mentally twists, or poisons a small child. Even so, parents should have leeway to counsel, sometimes speak harshly, and sometimes paddle children. The problem is, some parents are still mentally children, and some counselors and court personnel lack all common sense. Still, making absolute rules for bureaucrats does not improve the dispensation of common sense. Rather, it leads to stupid ideas -- like "three strikes and you're out," 10 years imprisonment for minor drug offenses, and suspensons of first graders for hugging their teachers. The whole idea of delegating power to lower levels is to help restore opportunities for people to come to reason together, in common sense.
The main reasons common sense has been replaced by childishness, idiocy, and bureaucracy can be laid at the feet of welfare families and their "so smart they're stupid" elitist enablers. These people need to have their gov entitlements and gov powers greatly clipped, if common sense is to have any chance to recover. Get the gov out of people's hair where reasonably possible, and then non-gov institutions will have a chance to fill the void with something more resembling common sense. That would go a long way towards restoring freedom and dignity and reducing animosity between artificial races and classes. Gov treating adults as children keeps both the adults and their gov treaters as children. With that kind of gov, neither parents nor bureaucrats can ever grow up. Both will always look first to more gov, rather than to facing up to adult responsibility. This alliance between Dino welfare recipients and Rino elitist dispensers is what is killing common sense in America.
For libertarians, the blind spot pertains to children: how to raise children; who to entrust them to; how to inspire them to pay liberty-decency-responsibility-dignity forward through the generations. Not to burden the future with the dead hand of the past, but to give children a chance to grow wings and fly for themselves, and pass that capacity on. An example is Gore Vidal. He had no children and did not care for children. For all his smarts, I think this put a big blind spot in his social intelligence. I suspect this is the key problem with social libertarians.
I understand wanting smaller, less centralized, and less elitist gov. And not wanting gov that is supported only by elitist-manufactured popular support that is wide, but thin and flaky. In that sense, I am libertarian. Even though I don't care for varieties of libertarianism that ignore the need to respect parents's desires to protect the innocence and modesty of their children. I don't think children in godless, flaky, and socially irresponsible households, with little access to normal kids and families, have much of a chance. Inner city ghettos seem pretty libertarian ---socially, not fiscally. I am not sure they have a better chance than kids in China. I suspect a lot of libertarians do not give much thought to the need to respect parents' protection of their children from predations and grooming by adult "instructors" or inner city race-baiters.
The reality of natural law does not admit of manmade law, except as a comfort or deceit for fleecers to fleece and gangs to overpower individuals. Some gangs are good, some bad. Some individuals are good, some bad. It is ever thus. Without an assimilating inspiration for the good, gov and law are both the mere braying of asses. Without an assimilating inspiration for the good, neither the presence nor the absence of gov or law offers a path for resolving the problem of evil.
Tolstoy was an anarchist, but only because he thought, mistakenly, that Christian love and charity would suffice to replace gov and defend human freedom and dignity against the depraved howlers of the world. However, against jihadis, commies, and psychpoathic hedonists, Christianity in itself, without organized, checked, and balanced governance at some level, offers no chance. Indeed, it no longer offers efficacy even to preclude America from burying the social glue of marriage and family under de-defining social meaninglessness. Libertine philosophy fails to apprehend that, with no assimilating ideas of faith, family, and fidelity, the tear down of all gov would be only a way station to totalitarianism.
The Prog State has a number of ruses for advancing its totalitarianism. One is for Progs, whenever convenient to their pogrom du jour, to turn advocacy for traditional norms of society into "hate speech."
Will gov-backed homosexual unions of advocates for teaching children about strange sex and dopery likely raise children who will be reliable defenders and transmitters of freedom and dignity? Or will they see children as things to be granted to the State to indoctrinate in pleasurable entitlements? Will their "offspring" be so alientated from decent society as to bounce back and forth between rooting for statist totalitarianism directly versus indirectly, by advocating for unstable disintegration into anarchy as precursor to new totalitarian stability?
One would need to be raised in cloistered choomery to be as fundamentally stupid and un-American as Scotus, i.e., Kennedy. Faith, family and fidelity are foundational to sustaining a representative republic against statist totalitarianism. But our "smart" elitist cloistered choomers know it not. Once faith and family are buried, how long will people retain fidelity to a representative republic, before we degenerate into a new civil war? Our Ivy backed progs are as useless and stupid as Prez Buchanan.
You can't effectively control crony rotting of the republic by regulation. For one thing, the cronies write the regulations. Nor can you control it by taxation, so long as the cronies write the tax laws. You can, however, control it by taxation to the extent good people assimilate in respect of inspired faith to detect and vote out all godless, god perverting, mendacious, sewer rats.
The way to reduce cronyism by using taxation is to tax all lobby-like expenditures and campaign contributions as if they were forms of consumption that were subject to a progressive consumption tax, to be imputed against the corporation and its agent that authorized each such expenditure. They are consumptions because, in the real world, they are purchases of political access and influence. So long as money talks and bs walks, such indirect forms of conspiratorial corruption and bribery cannot reasonably be called "free speech" --- regardless of what Scotus, in its corruption, may say. That is, unless purchasing favors from a ho can reasonably be called "free." If civic minded corporations want to help draft good legislation, then let them do so without expending such sums as will capture representatives and make them perpetually beholden.
As to the idea that it is necessary to allow corporations unlimited access for buying pols in order to balance out the contrivances of teachers unions and commie community organizations: Crony elitists are the ones who fund, manipulate, and pull the strings behind our various institutions, foundations, and endowments that fund the union and commie agitators. Why? Because they use them as useful idiots to neuter Americans, erase borders, and declare open season on cannibalizing our resources. When you stop the cronies, you dry up the funding and planning for the commies. Behind the facade, Rinos and Dinos are one party -- the Rino-Dino party of established sewer rats.
I watched a documentary about Gore Vidal, a smart man with a defective political philosophy. He clearly saw through much of the Rino-Dino bs and the rampant crony buy out of the West. Still, I call his philosophy defective because it was merely critical and nihilistic. I didn't detect any wisdom in him for what needs to be done to assimilate a society that can sustain and defend human freedom and dignity. Indeed, having no idea how to raise a decent child, he would have no clue about any such a thing.
In the Prog sewer, to defend individual freedom and dignity is to be a racist, misogynist, bigoted, homophobic, bible thumper. Doubly so if you're black. You know this isn't MLK's dream when the biggest racists of all are the sewer rats calling liberty lovers racists.
In each case, absent good reason to the contrary, gov should be pulled down to the lowest responsible unit, being the individual adult, family, or non-crony business. Businesses that operate as crony mobsters married to gov should be heavily and progressively taxed, to get them off the teat.
Rerun some episodes of the West Wing. People love to believe in fairy tales about extremely competent young people who work tirelessly to rule down solutions to all important problems out of nothing more than love for all their most needy constituents. People who never grow up like to watch such programs and imagine themselves in capes. They grow up wanting to force their ideas of goodness on others, whether they want them or not. Once in the real system, too late, they learn they are little more than barnacles or stilt stockings. And that's the "good" ones. Others go full monty into mendacious malice. They create empires of crisis so they can be seen to be doing something, even as they have auxilliaries siphoning out the back door. A lot of people watch and enjoy The West Wing well into their 50s to 80s.
Has any investigative journalist figured out the coincidence of Obama's name being associated with Harrison J Bounel and a Connecticut based SS number? See http://www.liveleak.com/view?i...
Obama scandals are billowing out way beyond failure of the smell test.
The NWO that fronts Oama is working on all fronts to wipe out all individualism that seeks to abide beyond its diktat. Siphons for fiat money -- check. Erasure of borders-- check. Hopeless befuddlement of citizenry-- check. Swamping with third world voters -- check. Hobbling competent individuals with feelings of blameworthy privilege -- check. Manufacture of health and other crises to divert attention -- check. Destruction of family as unit for pasing on education regarding crony shenanighans -- check. Marginalization of everyone of decent good faith and good will -- check. Totalitarian snooping -- check. Armament of Greenshirts and Jihadis -- check.
On every front, we are baited by leering evil. This juggernaught cannot be pulled from our necks with polite measures. Buck Farack.
I agree that perspectives of consciousness that are local to a society cannot sustain individual freedom and dignity without perpetual vigilance. In that respect, entropy and information seem to be at cross currents. Reality presents aspects that have two sides: an unchanging side and a changing side. It's Author is an unchanging changer. A noun-verb that is one of a kind. It is experienced in a trinity of flavors: Substance, Information, and Consciousness. As Substance, it undergoes entropy. As Information, it undergoes accumulation. As Consciousness, it exploits favorable niches in the cross currents of entropy and information.
Each local perspective of consciousness will experience entropy of substance that is offset by enhancement of information. In local perspectives, Consciousness does not abide except among such levels of reality where entropy and information can sustain it. Within the flux of Substance, Information, and Consciousness, there always abide niches where local perspectives of consciousness are sustainable.
Among perspectives, no individual has access to science that can precisely predict or control the unfoldment from the chaos of their flux. Yet, somehow, a function reconciles them. A Reconciler, who seems friendly to those perspectives of consciousness that seek, in individual freedom and dignity, to be friendly to IT. Without strength and intuitive purposefulness drawn from faith in such Reconciler, decent civilization dissolves and dis-assimilates. IMO, that is when satan is considered god, evil is considered good, corruption seeks ignorance, ignorance seeks corruption, propaganda is considered science, goats are considered sexy, and the people swoon for Black Sheiks.
Much ado about whose turn it is to forn icate with goats. Whose turn will it be to be a puppet for an establishment of godless and god-perverting cronies? This shadow show keeps us diverted from the only real paths to restore freedom and decency: third parties; COS; secession; revo lution via Snowden hackers.
When R's retake power, what will be their first priority? Will it be balancing the budget? Enforcing borders? Minding the demographics? Repealing Obamacare? Ending entitlement mongering? Decentralizing gov?
No. R's first priority will be to reward the cronies for whom they are sock puppets. It will be tax relief for cronies, so cronies can continue to buy gov, so cronies and pols can continue to rob the citizenry blind. The only R's I trust are already marked by the establishment for destruction. Instead of burning churches, it would be nice to see some shutdowns of mosques and msm outlets. Everytime Obama appears, it would be nice to hear choruses of "Shut up!" and "Stop lying!"
Obama would like us to be a nation of goats. Buck Farack. http://actforamerica.wordpress..
Even were Americans to wake up, action would be needed to help ward off the ever present propensity for evil to return for more helpings. What we have is a system that rewards evil crony cannibals. The more corrupt they are, the easier it is for them to siphon fiat and kick back money, to buy and sell politicians, to mislead gullibles and turn them into perpetual voting zombies. So we have an abundance of rich, evil btards, and we have NOTHING that is effective to stop them from eating us out from within. Our republic has been hollowed out, both spiritually and formally.
Formally, we need a way to discourage or block the buying and selling of politicians. One way to do that would be to deem it a form of consumption, and to tax such consumption progressively. If we want less of the monied corrupt buying of politicians, then progressively taxing it would be a way to discourage it. We have tried regulation, and it does not work. It just gets the good guys, like Dinesh, brought up on charges by the corrupt class. If subsidization causes corruption, then we need to stop subsidizing it. Corrupt cronies get progressively greater benefits the more they corrupt politicians. And NOTHING checks against their "progressivism."
We can get spiritually aroused and beat back evil, temporarily. But evil will soon be right back at the trough, so long as nothing is in place to block it.
What we have is a godless and god-perverting culture (GAGCOC) of corruption that wants to increase ignorance and depravity because it is easier to enserf those who are ignorant and depraved. Indeed, the ignorant and depraved can be used as soldiers to conquer every otherwise decent and competent person. The GAGCOC has perfected techniques for turning the ignorant into perpetual debt slaves and then promising them redistributive relief by going after the "racist bigots of America," i.e., everyone who isn't a homosexual, addicted, whining, goat forn icating jihadi. Will Americans wake up before there is a permanent majority of corrupt, loser, anti-Americans? The writing on the wall seems relentless.
The Prez fronts a cabal that is at war with America. The Prez is at war with America in order to destroy all ground of freedom for individual thinking and competent Americans. The purpose is for nothing higher than to vent rage, appease envy, and cannibalize from his betters. Americans of good faith and good will need to stop projecting. They need to recognize cold reality: that about 40 % of our demographic has become childish, whinny, stupid, hateful, doped up, and entitlement mongering. This gangrene to the republic is spreading. Powerful medicine is needed. COS. If that fails, it may be necessary to remove gangrenous limbs. If secession is too late, anarchy may have to resume it's turn on the great mandela.
If the keepers of correct language do not bless a word, the concept behind it does not exist. That is like saying, If natural laws are unknown to scientists, they can't affect what we engineer.
What if God is a verbal agnostic? Try Dr. Seuss.
“You will come to a place where the streets are not marked.
Some windows are lighted. but mostly they're darked.
But mostly they're darked.
A place you could sprain both your elbow and chin!
Do you dare to stay out? Do you dare to go in?
How much can you lose? How much can you win?”
― Dr. Seuss, Oh, The Places You'll Go!
If there is no reconciling basis for judging morality, then it is nonsense to say A is just as moral as B. To say A is as moral as B is to suggest that a material barometer of morality exists. Well allrighty then! Show me this scientific scale for measuring morality! Now, measurable events can be measured. But the sum quality of subjective experience (mens rea) behind them cannot. Believers are concerned with qualitative, spiritual experience. They do not tend to say their breathing is measurably more moral than that of a non-believer. But "scientific moralists" will never get the point. They will always say their conduct is "equal," and therefore must be "morally equal". Even though they produce no "scale of morality," they presume a quantitative scale exists, rather than a qualitative scale.
As to intuition: It seems quite clear that the people who forsake faith in any Reconciling Principler of morality tend to turn more to self pleasures and less to raising decent children who have the wherewithal to preserve decent, humane civilization. When I look at godless commie nations and god-perverted monster nations, it is obvious on such a scale that such nations and their peoples are not "just as moral."
It is vain to call "moral" those subjective pleasures that are not subject to regulation in respect of any principle of reconciliation that abides apart from one's temporal self. If you believe there abides morality, without reconciliation to principles of moral judgment apart from random subjective pleasures, then you are espousing nonsense. If you believe there are principles, apart from subjective pleasures, that reconcile moral judgments, then you are espousing intuitive faith -- faith that is beyond empirical, scientific proof.
You will not convince people to communicate and share moral judgments based solely on scientific empiricism or materialism. Inspiration to share moral principles requires qualitative communication of intuitions and empathies, beyond material measure. The qualitative communication is more than the sum of its material parts. In that sense, it is as spiritual as it is real.
Communication of spiritual empathies is directly intuited, not empirically measured. Capacity to send and receive spiritual empathies is the shared basis for assimilating and reconciling moral values -- regardless of whether or not any particular, temporal communicant expressly professes faith in The Reconciler. Faith abides and cannot be expelled by atheists -- regardless of whether or not it is formally acknowledged as such.
A large percentage of people are unfit for self rule. They must either rule or be ruled, and they want no independent thinkers to get in their way. On that account, there is no "solution." There are, at best, paths for coping. Give me liberty, or give me secession. Or COS.
Tea Party commonalities: self governing adults, capitalism, freedom, being human. Prog commonalities: infantile codependence on gov, collectivism, authoritarianism, being subhuman. In a sense, no one is free from being governed -- by self, by corporate boss, or by authoritarian gov. Of import is that the closer governance is to the individual, the more his talents, energies, and initiatives can find ground to compete in the marketplace. The more governance is removed to ill informed despots, the more arbitrary and stifling it becomes to all that is human and decent.
Some despots fool themselves into believing science can teach what should be dictated. They misunderstand the role of science. Some events can be linearly explained in terms of tradeoffs between two carefully controlled factors. However, when three or more factors enter into a system, the tradeoffs become more chaotic and not subject to linearly predictable unfoldment. Our existence entails three main factors: quantitatively measurable substance (matter and energy), in-form-ation that conforms to form-ulizing laws and mathematic based algorithms, and qualitative apprehensions of consciousness. These three factors do not feedback under any simplistic, discoverable, pre-determinable form-ula. IOW, in many respects, their unfoldment is not subject to scientific determination. Rather, they seem to be subject to higher reconciliation of intuitions, insights, and empathies as inspired among variously contending perspectives.
To be an adult human being is to seek freedom to participate in entertaining and communicating one's own intuitions, empathies, and interests, and not to have them stifled by any authoritarian despot, however elite he may deem himself. The problem for adults is to raise each next generation of children to become responsible adults. In this, collectivists "fail to launch." Obama collectivists are miserable, perpetual, codependent, feminazi, children. Obama is an incorrigible, whinny, bossy, little boy toddler. He is fully capable of punishing the world in a tantrum fit. Woe to the world that empowers him.
The Tea Party is the expression of adult aspirations to recover responsible, decent, sustainable, humanity-empowering leadership. It's enemies are corrupt and ignorant collectivists who have dug deep defensive positions in the establishment. In exchange for secure food and dope, they mean to put human liberty to the torch.
Liars lie because they have no respect for their audience. And they have no respect for their audience because they have so much experience getting away with lies. You can almost see it in Obama's eyes: Man, I don't believe these people let me come back for seconds!"
What does success mean? Does it mean earning self respect and the respect of others, including the children one raises to be decent human beings? If so, then success is within the capacity of nearly every person who is faithful to an inviting, spiritual Reconciler. As to those who dwell on being victims of racism, it is likely, were they given power, that they would be among the most imposing of racism. In believing humanity is inherently racist, rather than potentially spiritual, they would be among the first to instigate race war. In the name of decent humanity, such scum need to sthu. Success as a respectable human being has little to do with enlisting gangs and collectives to forcibly bend individuals to your will. Obama's misdirected respect for Marxists and Muslims marks him as a boy-man who can never be a success, unless being in thrall of despotism is considered to be "success." It's not his race that chains him. What fundamentally chains him and befouls America is that to which he has sold his soul. In forsaking the Reconciler, Obama would sell America and the world to the devil.
A triple axis of subparhumans is eating America's innards. The axis consists of bureaucrats, loutish entitlement mongers, and corrupt crony devils who fancy themselves "elite" as they rule by riding on the bureaucratic louts and the entitled ignoranti. Adult human beings would seek to facilitate adult freedom and dignity. However, adults who can raise responsible children are not to be found among the axis of subparhumans. Outside the boundaries of the West, adults are not much found in collectivist, third world areas of Africa, Asia, or Polynesia. And breaching the boundaries of the West, multi culti subparhumans are festering in all institutions. There can be no free trade of ideas between responsible adults and incorrigible, indoctrinated, subparhumans. There is nothing free about enriching and importing collectivist-minded subparhumans.
Thoughts concerning Popper: For a theorem to be falsifiable does not mean that it is without practicability. It only means that a more practicable theorem for the intended usage is possible. If no final, absolute, non-trivial truth is possible for mortals to know empirically, then to say that theorems cannot be scientific unless they are falsifiable is only to recognize that absolute truth cannot be proven in science (matter based empiricism). It is not to say that that truth does not exist on some level, beyond mortal or particular comprehension. To the extent matter (measurable Substance) is necessarily accompanied by aspects of Information and Consciousness that are not entirely reducible to quantitatives, such trinity of aspects abides in a flux that cannot be measured or reduced to an ultimate, science-based formulization.
Neither reason nor mysticism can get us to ultimate, "essential," empirical-based, non-trivial truths because no such truths are empirically provable by such means. What are practically demonstrable are practical theorems. If a non-trivial truth were or could be known, it would not be science or theorem, but simply known fact. A thing or function may be extremely practicable, even to such extent that we call it a natural law. Even so, a thing or function that is known to be true cannot be proven "true" by scientific method. It simply is true, directly. An example of such a truth would consist in direct, qualitative, not quantitative, experience of subjective consciousness.
The only "essential" truths we may know are perhaps truths that are tautological, trivial, true by definition, self evident, self-defining, self-normalizing, and/or made true as a realization of self fulfillment. All other knowledge is not "essentially true," but suitable for practical purposes that have not been falsified.
As to what may be the limits, if any! to what can be done to make practical theorems stretch to get towards self fulfillment, I seem unable to fathom how such may be known. It seems possible that a holistic and empathetic author and Reconciler may guide us in conscious purposefulness. However, I don't see how such can be known in any empirical sense or apart from intuition and faith. What seems self evident, however, is that faith in an inviting, guiding, empathetic, humane Reconciler has self fulfilling implications for the kind of civilization we aspire to avail. What hangs in the balance: Whether humanity-respecting thinkers will be able to preserve representative republicanism versus whether corrupt cronies and moral zombies will deliver us to despotic totalitarianism.
Humane civilization is diversely unraveling because too many people no longer assimilate a belief and faith in humanity. Their only faith is in themselves and their fellow cronies. Corrupt crony faith comes in many totalitarian flavors. Mad dog religion, as in Islam. Mind blowing escapism, as in cartelized dope fiefdoms. Utopian diktat over useful idiots, as in Communism. NWO rule of the masses "for their own good," as in the case of Rino-Dino alliances of Ruling collectivizers and ruled, collected dupes of bs promises. Regardless of flavor, all such post modern Hegelianism is rife with inhumane, totalitarian, claptrap.
How did America become mired in claptrap? Americans got too diverted. A few billionaires acquired too much power. Foundational institutions got undermined. Faith, family, and fidelity got undermined. The ideas of science and truth got twisted up in service to established despots and corrupt cronies and their shills. Before any prof is allowed to teach any social science, it would be well if he were required to demonstrate at least passing familiarity with Von Mises' Human Action and Popper's The Open Society. There are few better sources to inoculate thinking people against unsound social sciences that are just covers for rationalizing the replacement of representative republics with elitist, totalitarian, crony regimes. The people who call the slippery slope to inhumanity a fallacy tend to be the people who are the connivers, apologists and dupes for inhumane totalitarianism.
The people who call the slippery slope a fallacy tend to be the most willfully ignorant and obtuse people possible. The sure way to kill a representative republic is to undermine respect for its foundational institutions. But then, that's what neo-totalitarian statists want. The slippery slope destruction of a republic is no problem to an idiotic and incompetent statist who is looking for a master to whom to subjugate himself. In exchange for promises of good dope, of course. These gaggers need to be expelled to their own craphole state, before they destroy America.
Some people need killing. Some people need not to be voting. Anyone who has been so unaware all these years as to fail to get proper voter ID has no more business voting than Obama has inviting the destruction of our borders. All institutions requisite to a representative republic are being drowned and destroyed. The border is made meaningless. In the face of gov, families are made irrelevant. Higher faith is banished. Gov propaganda, like Caesar, is raised to scientific godhood. Faith, family, and fidelity are being destroyed. Signs SHOUT that an evil cronydom is declaring humanity the enemy of its crony justice.
It becomes more and more clear that Dem operatives must know that in no way could they have stuck Obama (he of several SSAN's) in America's craw without massive fraud. Nor can they continue their desired destruction of the republic without enabling massive fraud. Unless things come to a head and examples are made, the worst among us will continue to flog the rest of us. Treason has been too long tolerated!
You have to be a real smart ass to be as devoid of common sense as our judges and central establishment. This kind of stupid cannot be fixed by conventional means. These pinky wavers have no clue, none, how much they are alienating Americans. They may be compiling lists, but Americans can play that game, too.
Never attribute good faith or good will to a professional skunkworks.
What can one who does not have faith in God or republic have faith in? He can only have faith in making himself a servant of a master or a master of servants. No higher principle is allowed. None at all. And if he is displaced by a master, he can have no more faith in his displacer than a scorpion can have in a competing scorpion. Unless he can somehow convince the competing scorpion that he will subordinate all personal considerations to service the scorpion's desires. The justice of the master of a collective can be only a cruel joke. A gulag of a joke. And there can be no collective of sheep without a master.
The syndicate behind the regime wants to ignite social upheaval, as prelude to its contingency plans for using crises to overthrow representative republicanism, everywhere. To that end, it keeps fuses lit everywhere, waiting with bated breath. Ferguson. Race baiting. Ebola. Immigration. Islam. Militant homosexual agenda. Thug alphabet agencies. Drone spying. Currency manipulation to reward cronies and punish Americans. Replacement of faith, family, and fidelity with fairy fornicators.
The syndicate has detailed contingency plans for taking down representative republicanism. It deliberately has none to preclude crises, because it wants crises. It definitely wants to "avoid doing stupid stuff" that would preserve the republic.
Those who think commies cannot be as religiously bull goose looney and maliciously murderous as any jihadi freak need to read Whitaker Chambers' Witness.
Who is agitating? As near as I can see, the biggest hand-signal coordinator is the establishment of godless, god-perverting, corrupt to the core, power-lusting, leering, depraved cronies. Collectivists come in two classes: the collectivizers and the collected. Cynical nomenklatura and duped comrades. A lot of people see the profit in devouring slow prey at common watering holes. The way to make Americans fat and slow for the plunder is to fill their minds with entitlement crap about equality and fairness and fill their glands with drug and porn addictions. Entice them with fiat money, to get them to pay for their own indoctrination in order to turn them into perpetual debt slaves. Then tell them stories about how (crony puppeteers of) gov are saving them from enemy goats, whities, and Jews. Destroy their faith, families, and fidelities. Then fleece and fleece and fleece them some more. The establishment runs an incredible shadow show. It owns the cave, the wall, the projector, the hand shadowers, the keys to the exit, and the unfelt chains that are ever ready to punish anyone who stands to call the show a lie and an abomination.
People who control the message control the dupes; people who control the dupes collect and herd the society; people who control the society redefine the concepts of God and morality.
Thus, equality and fairness become conceptualized in the minds of the masses to mean whatever the message controllers say they mean. Today, fairness means homosexuals are preferred for adopting and reconditioning children. In days to come, when imstitutions crash, fairness will mean might makes right. Then deceit trumps truth. Then the most evil is the most good. And so on.
When the message is controlled by people who have no insight or vision concerning the Great Commandment and the Golden Rule, anything can mean anything, and corruption rules from the backs of ignorance. Thus, people lose their freedom and dignity, i.e., their humanity, and become as hollow and trivial as bubbling gum.
The people who are ruled by their genitals and addictions are clueless that their ideas of fairness and equality have no staying power. They are clueless that a society built on a standard of fake equality for all manner of homosexual, polyamorous, and doped up relations has no power to stand up to gangs that seek only the strongest masters for leading them first to plunder and then to ruin.
You keep saying "equality," but It appears to be just a word you use to mean whatever you wanna. What you're clueless about is that other people can do the same to you. And once the republic is destroyed in all but name only, they will. Mao and Stalin were extremely "equal."
Your vision concerning equality is very limited! constrained as it is to same sex unions. Why not plural, overlapping, and corporate unions? Why not buy and sell stock in interests in children? What about exceptionally smart children? Is it "equal" to force them to obey rules for regulating and schooling children? Why "should" any such arrangements be considered "equal?" Aren't you just arbitrarily labeling your own wanna and calling it "equal?" Why "should" not everyone, including social nihilists and sociopaths, be entitled to force society to bless their pet wannas and ideas about "fairness and equality?"
Cannot elitists, gays, and groomers be "wrong and bigoted?" Should Muslims who engage in child sex trade be entitled to adopt children and ship them overseas? Would it be "discriminatory profiling" to check up on them?
Before the enlightened crafting of checks and balances for preserving representative republicanism, people tried to preserve freedom and dignity by promoting those masters who best served prevailing social needs. Humanity and justice from an individual standpoint were sacrificed. Instead, followers looked to promote the best masters, and masters looked to capture or control reliable followers. Until the perfection of representative republics and citizenries fitted to choosing responsible representatives, people did not fight for principles. People fought to choose and promote masters, or to be masters. They did not, per se, fight for principles for individuals, such as freedom, dignity, or justice for individuals. Without means for preserving a representative republic, the words "fairness and equality" are a cruel joke.
So what happens when the middle, producing class is neutered because of an alliance between people who want to rule as masters and people who want no responsibility other than to be ruled by masters? In that case, the principle of human empathy will necessarily have been poisoned. It will have been poisoned as soon as the wannabe Rulers and the wannabe Ruled chose power over free-thinking individuals, instead of empathy or respect. In that case, civilizing empathy is replaced by gang-banging plunder and the eating out of the innards of republics. All while calling the devourers of the republic "fair and equal."
To fail to support checks and balances and limited central government is to empower plunderers to grease their way with the deceits of sophists, who promise "fairness and equality" if only all free thinkers will lay down their arms, traditions, institutions, and objections. And if only they will consent to have all their social institutions radically de-defined and replaced by the new designs of "elite and virtuous" new masters (wolves in sheep's clothing), with their ideas about what is "fair and equal." Americans did not consent to gay marriage. The idea was forced on them by idiots and corruptocrats posing as fair-minded judges. That is tyranny by sophistic elitists shilling for crony destroyers. It has nothing to do with "fairness and equality."
So, what we have now is a mafia of callow gays being used to de-define the family institution, to pave the way for rule under corrupt and short-sighted masters allied with easily fooled, useful dupes. And yes, that alliance is presently winning. That is, if "winning" means replacing limited government with consolidated central rule under crony elites who do not give diddly about the republic (or fairness, for that matter).
It has become too obvious to be denied (for any purpose other than to make a callow joke) that corrupt cronies want the erasure of borders, the de-defining of families, and the destruction of higher faith. Why? Because there is not a spark of republican fidelity or decency in them. And you think their shills give diddly about "fairness and equality"?
To make people equal (in whatever way elite culture definers may define "equal"), do you not see gov taking a bigger hand, moving more and more to decide what equal should mean in more and more situations? Do you have no fear at all of gov run by those who claim to know best, who, in their hubris, are willing to brush aside all social conventions?
BTW, people, inherently, are not equal. For example, secret service personnel are trained to take a bullet for the Prez. So forget race. Different people have different talents and interests. If you "make" them equal, you remove their humanity.
Given trends, do you see the institution of marriage as retaining much significance over the next 40 years? I don't.
Without general respect in society for the institution of marriage, do you see gov as filling the gap, in terms of supervising, educating, and providing for children? I do. Do you really think this is rare in history?
Apart from your gonads, have you really thought this through?
In a hostile world, neither freedom nor dignity can be sustained, much less moved foward, by metrosexuals and femimen. This is why the establishment is so keen to advance the gay agenda. The LGBTIQ is the vanguard for totalitarian rule by an establishment posing as elite benefactors for the masses, who are stupefied under drugs and mind rot, for which they go in debt in order to "enhance" their c.v.'s. These metrofems are ripe for the plunder. You go, Oprah.
Fed goons for the establishment have much more than the IRS. They have entire factories of devices, ways and alphabet institutions for spying, entrapping, surrounding, garnishing, and making people cry uncle. They insist that only the meek shall inherit their droppings, while fellow goons shall share in ther plunder. Idiot Dems vote for their own re-enserfment, and goon Rinos are happy to oblige. Decent people who have been sleeping are pushed over the falls. Plato was the ass who gave cover for this unholy alliance of Rino corruption and Dino ignorance.
How is it that the alphabet agency goons and their recruited agitators, looters, and polar bear hunters go unmolested, unprosecuted, and often promoted?
During the reign of Commodus, no one was safe. Those who failed in his projects were killed. Those who succeeded too much, thereby drawing adulation away from him, were killed. Of course, Obama does not reign. What does reign, however, is the establishment that fronts him. And it will brook no competition. You cross the establishment with any efficacy on issues adopted by it, you get trapped, wrapped, and strapped.
A tea partier runs against comprehensive swamping of the electorate with captive third world voters, he attracts big shells from big guns. An American protests fed funded, indoctrinated, and enforced grooming of the next generation for the gay agenda and the replacement of families by gov puppets for cronies, he gets suspended, fired, and charged with hate speech. States protest heavy handed consolidation of central control, they get cut from revenue sharing. Dealers don't demonstrate full throated support for the regime, they don't get price supports. Media producers question the regime, they get audited, monitored, harassed. Professors teach critical thinking that questions the regime, they get denied tenure, disinvited to speaking engagements, or shouted down.
Every branch of our fed gov is in on the crony establishment's takedown of America. The takedown of faith, family, and fidelity to the republic. Obama said he wanted to reduce America's role and footprint, i.e., the role of America as a representative republic. An electorate incapable of basic critical thinking was unable to comprehend the plain spoken evil because it was dressed up as if it were for our best interests. Much as Plato dressed up tyranny as it it were benign. Not every citizenry is suited for representative republicanism. A dumbed down electorate is not suited. America has been dumbed down. Secession or revolution is well nigh unavoidable, if totalitarianism is to be pushed back.
The delegation of power and discretion would not mean much if it did not include power and discretion to do less than entirely correct --- often including wrong. So, just how wrong should people of a society or gov allow a parent or anyone else to be in the rearing and teaching of children? Different people would draw lines at different things. So, society needs institutions and forums for people to come together at different levels to reason together. Society needs local governance, local churches, local school boards. It does not need to be undermining families. It is generally better for people to govern themselves by reasoning together at the lowest rational level. This is why feds should generally butt out, even when fed experts think themselves to have the best answers and standards for nearly every conceivable situation. Besides, if wrong decisions are made, it tends to be better that the people closest to the situation be availed to learn from the experience.
So yes, tolerance must be allowed for adults to engage in vices. Yet, some socially acceptable standards ought not be exceeded as parents go about raising children. No level of citizenry or gov ought to be required to stand by as an adult beats, mutilates, sexually abuses, mentally twists, or poisons a small child. Even so, parents should have leeway to counsel, sometimes speak harshly, and sometimes paddle children. The problem is, some parents are still mentally children, and some counselors and court personnel lack all common sense. Still, making absolute rules for bureaucrats does not improve the dispensation of common sense. Rather, it leads to stupid ideas -- like "three strikes and you're out," 10 years imprisonment for minor drug offenses, and suspensons of first graders for hugging their teachers. The whole idea of delegating power to lower levels is to help restore opportunities for people to come to reason together, in common sense.
The main reasons common sense has been replaced by childishness, idiocy, and bureaucracy can be laid at the feet of welfare families and their "so smart they're stupid" elitist enablers. These people need to have their gov entitlements and gov powers greatly clipped, if common sense is to have any chance to recover. Get the gov out of people's hair where reasonably possible, and then non-gov institutions will have a chance to fill the void with something more resembling common sense. That would go a long way towards restoring freedom and dignity and reducing animosity between artificial races and classes. Gov treating adults as children keeps both the adults and their gov treaters as children. With that kind of gov, neither parents nor bureaucrats can ever grow up. Both will always look first to more gov, rather than to facing up to adult responsibility. This alliance between Dino welfare recipients and Rino elitist dispensers is what is killing common sense in America.
Our military is now for advancing the Gay Agenda, empowering women, promoting tolerance for Islam, and fighting Ebola. It is not for preserving a representative republic. The regime has other special and well armed agencies for ensuring that representative republicanism is NOT preserved. The regme is simply NOT INTERESTED in strategies for promoting or preserving representative republicanism. The regime's idea of an "open society" is one in which there is open season for corrupt cronies to ride herd on collectivized dupes. Patton died so cronies can ride. Yee-haw!
We could do this if we were not in a fight for survival at home. We could defend representative republicanism abroad if representative republicanism were not in a fight to the death at home.
We are occupied by corporatists who are no longer content to make war bucks. They now want to cannibalize republics. They do not want to leave any republic standing, where any thinking class might get in the way of their plunder and rule. So they in effect erase our borders and swamp our demographics. We cannot export representative republicanism, because we are in a war to preserve representative republicanism at home. For the time being, the best we can do against Islam is to quarantine it. Indeed, collectivizing corporatists see the importation of jihadis as helpmates for destroying republics. What person with any common sense still believes Obama does not mean ill for the republic?
Perpetual war abides between people of spiritual good faith and good will versus people of materialistic greed, jealousy, and envy. Each time people of good will "win," they too soon weaken in vigilance. But money and materialism never sleep. There are people who understand this, and many of them frequent American Thinker. However, how many competent and active youth understand this? Yes, the experience is still with us. However, the issue in contest is: How long will it take that experience to invigorate effective youth? Against the never-sleeping onslaught of collectivism, how many years does it take nowadays to raise an effective conserver of liberty?
Human civilization flourishes as each citizen accords respect to one another's expression of self and enterprise. For civilization to reach a state of mutuality of respect, it is necessary that leading lights assimilate trust in the good faith and good will of one another. That quality of goodness is communicated and carried forward in the language of stories and figures of speech. Those stories become legends, myths, and religions. The political value in such religions consists in how they help communicate ideals for inviting and incenting good will --- not in the "essential" or literal truth of any such religions. Indeed, the only truths that are available to mortals consist in tautologies, trivial truths by definition, and practical truths that are evident to self, self definition, self normalization, and self actualization. Apart from faith, final (or "essential") truths that are not trivial are not available to the knowledge of man. Empiricism (science) avails truth values (theorems and conventions) that are practical to purposes, often extremely practical to purposes, but not essential truths in themselves.
Choosing among purposes to which to devote oneself is a bit like choosing one's social axioms. Value in such social axioms may be intuitionally and empathetically confirmed, but not empirically or scientifically confirmed. Nor may social axioms, in themselves, be falsified. This is because the effectiveness of social axioms much depends on their interfunctioning with the attitudes and faiths of observers -- which cannot be measured simultaneously with the apprehensions of their objects. In any given populace, either privation or plenty may strengthen or weaken it, viz a viz its opponents, depending on the quality of members' trust and faith. Neither substantive privation nor measurable plenty would in itself be determinative of a social axiom of truth.
Those who have no faith in spiritual, non-material values will denigrate religions that value an inviting, caring, guiding, and reconciling God. They will want to replace such a God with masters and messengers for the plunder and re-distribution of matter. To entice followers, they will call such masters elite "guardians." They will say followers are unworthy, except to say, "Thank you." Thus, taqiyah, deceit, and bs-promises are deemed appropriate when needed to cultivate states of followers. Wannabe masters will replace priests, gurus, and faithful followers with cronies, shills, dupes and serfs. They will call the axioms of their social religion "social science."
Thus, wannabe masters of material plunder and redistribution demoralize followers of a concept of a caring Reconciler by falsifying the material literalism of the concept's sacred stories. Of course, to many followers, the sacred stories were never valued as "essential truths about materiality," but "only" as figures of speech that are helpful for communicating sacred, important, and practical social values. ( After all, absent a regressively First Definer of a "first word," how can any social axiom be more than a "practical figure of speech"?)
So, with what do masters of statist materiality want to replace the "untrue" figures of speech of reconciling religions? Why, they want to replace them with their own lies and frauds! Except, their purpose is not benign! Their purpose is not to promote the dignity and freedom of expression and enterprise of the general populace. Their purpose is to control redistribution of matter and to rule serfs. And, since the general populace is unworthy except to be ruled, wannabe masters are willing to conquer, replace, and rule ... by all means necessary. This will include replacing religious stories in the minds of the general populace with such state imposed scientism as is approved by the ruling elite. So ask: How is state-imposed social scientism "more truthy" than religious figures of speech that have been discussed among the populace for ages? How is the "march of historical determinism," so rationalized by statists, respectful of history, when it rends historical figures of speech down the memory hole?
As useful idiots surrender their humanity to statist collectivists (crony rulers and religious freaks of jihad), do they really expect their new masters will accord them either peace or respect in the morning? How dumb have they been rendered?
Left, right, follow the pea. Word shell games. Obama is a tool of the fringes that are for totalitarianism and against the Republic. Left, right, tomato, tomahto. Claptrap. They are fascist statists against center humanity. Obama is every bit as much against the conservation of liberty as any fascist -- left or right.
