A Violent Culture

When a society glorifies violence on our streets, violence against our police, and violence against our children (and I view the sexual mutilation of children as acts of violence), it stands to reason that there may be individuals influenced to act out on their own that which they are exposed to.

Ever seen one of the video games your children play?  Points are scored by how much mayhem you are able to inflict on the enemy, with graphic blood and body parts flying off in all directions. ‘Action’ movies produced by Hollywood regularly include gratuitous violence and explosions that seem to get larger and more destructive with each cinematic release.

Upside-Down Culture

There is no ‘right or wrong’ anymore. How’s the old saying from the Woodstock era go, “if it feels good do it.” That philosophy has returned to rear its ugly head.  Drag Queens are now in libraries performing for small children. Gender dysphoria is being promoted instead of treatment and counseling being given to help individuals deal with their confusion.

Rainbow flags and LGBTQ lifestyles are being celebrated with month long parades in cities across America, oftentimes sending confusing messages to the young and impressionable who are being exposed to social issues in schools that should be left to parents to discuss with their children.

And unfortunately in many cases youths are being subjected to what can only be described as ‘grooming’ by pedophiles masquerading as something other than what they truly are, sexual predators who target children and young people.

No Hope For This Culture

It may be possible to fight intolerance, stupidity, and fanaticism separately, but when they come together there is no hope.

Albert Einstein

Identity Supremacy

White supremacy isn’t the issue, identity supremacy is. Generations have been told by the Democrats, by their educational systems and entertainment that they are defined by identity politics and that positive change will come when they narrowly fight for the interests of their group, while suspecting the worst of members of other groups, especially white people.

Non-white people are taught to believe that white people are hoarding power. In San Francisco, black people are being urged to demand slave reparations from the Asian population. Women are encouraged to resent men. Transgenders are told to hate women. Within the LGBTQ movement, gay men have become scapegoats. California just passed a ban on “caste discrimination” among Indians. This is what the utopia of the perpetually aggrieved looks like.

This isn’t white supremacy: it’s identity supremacy. And if we don’t move beyond it, there will be no nation, only one long endless civil war across the fractured territories of what was America.

History Repeats--Often

 

Children of the Party

Nearly all children nowadays were horrible. What was worst of all was that by means of such organizations as the Spies they were systematically turned into ungovernable little savages, and yet this produced in them no tendency whatever to rebel against the discipline of the Party. On the contrary, they adored the Party and everything connected with it… 

 

All their ferocity was turned outwards, against the enemies of the State, against foreigners, traitors, saboteurs, thought-criminals. It was almost normal for people over thirty to be frightened of their own children.

George Orwell, 1984

Ignorant People Easily Submit to Government

The marvel of all history is the patience with which men and women submit to burdens unnecessarily laid upon them by their governments.

George Washington (A Founding Father and 1st President of the U.S.; 1732-1799)

REAL Men and REAL Women Needed

Masculinity means creating a family, protecting and defending your wife and children, providing for that wife and children in a responsible way, and building up and defending your community. These are masculine qualities. And societies are infinitely better when men endeavor toward such ideals.

Feminity means a woman who takes care of and comforts her husband, her family, and her children and nurtures the social fabric that binds communities together. 

Unfortunately, As a culture, we've decided that masculine women and effeminate men are amazing, but overtly masculine men and feminine women are terrible. 

When the boundaries that define these traditional roles are blurred, when men take on feminine qualities in droves and women are encouraged to be more masculine, toxic traits emerge that erode the social fabric and lead to cultural decay.

Demokrats Are Bigoted Against Firearms

For Democrats, overturning the Second Amendment and outlawing the private possession of guns by Americans is the default position they run to every time gun violence strikes a community. For them it’s the easy answer. It's much easier than to have to really put forth the hard work necessary to come up with genuine solutions to the problem of gun violence in America.

By just blaming guns and demanding bans and other legislation, they don’t have to work very hard.  They can then run back to their constituents and claim to have taken action to stop school shootings and other gun violence. It's a false declaration since the problem of gun violence will continue as long as they continue to promote a sick and depraved society, which is truly the root cause of all the violence and dysfunction in America.

Insane Society With "Transgenders"

In a sane society, people do not pretend to magically transform into the other sex (and yes, there are only two categories of reproductive sex for humans), nor do we allow people to dictate their “preferred pronouns.”  Sexual identity is set at birth, and barring medical anomalies or a doctor's faulty vision, that is our actual sex until we die.  At least that was the case until recently when the justifiably mentally ill and the radical Left (and those categories often overlap) demanded that we play along with their twisted game of make-believe and agree that men and women can somehow scientifically “transition” to the other sex.

Of course, the fictional notion of transitioning to the other sex is complete nonsense, and up until 2013 it was accurately categorized as a mental illness by the American Psychiatric Association (A.P.A.).  In that year, the DSM-5 downgraded transgenderism to “gender dysphoria,” and it's a safe bet that the Leftists who control the A.P.A. will erase it completely in their next edition, much as they did when homosexuality was eliminated from their list of mental illnesses.  That sleight-of-hand was accomplished not by advances in science nor medicine, but by relentless lobbying from various pro-homosexual groups and the voting body of  the A.P.A.  That was the first step in getting it accepted by mainstream society, and the issue of transgenderism is following a similar path.

Government Education Promotes Ignorance

In keeping Americans ill-educated, ill-informed and constitutionally ignorant, the education establishment has been the politician's major and most faithful partner. It is in this sense that American education can be deemed a success.

Walter E. Williams 

Gun Control-- Part of a Larger Agenda

Gun control is part of a larger agenda, and that agenda is to disarm the citizens so that another power can come in and massively control the citizenship. A broken family assists that agenda, so they can’t tout the strength of a strengthening family, because it is counterproductive to what the end goal is.

Bishop Charles Flowers, as cited in “There’s a Remedy for Our Nation - and That Remedy Is Not Gun Control’: Congressman.”

Corrupted Government Leadership

Need we say anything about the lack of efficacy or morality of the Department of Justice, FBI, or CIA?

Or rather is there anything the FBI will not do?

Doctor court evidence? Hire Twitter to suppress the news? Monitor parents at school board meetings? Allow directors to lie under oath or “misremember” before Congress?

Swiping clean subpoenaed phones? Hiring fakers to compile dirt on a presidential candidate—and then using that known smear to hoodwink a judge to allow spying on Americans?

Suppressing evidence on a laptop to warp an election? Raiding an ex-president’s home with a SWAT-like team? Spying on Catholics in mass? Storming a home full of children of a man accused of a politically incorrect misdemeanor?

The more the military has been stalemated in Iraq, humiliated in Afghanistan, and dreading what China will soon do or what Iran will even sooner let off, the more it insists our priorities should be diversity, equity, and inclusion. Will that escapism ensure more lethal pilots, tank commanders, and Marine company commanders?

The mindsets of too many of our new generations of command are twofold: first to be promoted by virtue signaling woke policies that they must know eventually will hamper combat readiness, and then in the future to rotate at retirement into multimillionaire status by leveraging past expertise for defense contractors. Keep that in mind and almost every publicly uttered nonsense from our highest in the Pentagon makes perfect sense.

Thomas Jefferson Called It

If ever this vast country is brought under a single government, it will be one of the most extensive corruption, indifferent and incapable of a wholesome care over so wide a spread of surface. This will not be borne, and you will have to choose between reform and revolution. If I know the spirit of this country, the one or the other is inevitable.

Thomas Jefferson (1743-1826).  

Young Men in Cultural Decay

Millions of young men are detached and ensconced in solitude, their indebted 20s too often consumed with video-gaming, internet surfing, or consumption of porn. Many suffer from prolonged adolescence. Many assume that they are immune from criticism, given that the alternative of getting married, having children, finding a full-time job, and buying a house is society’s new abnormal.

Victor Davis Hanson, Life Among the Ruins.

Government Rule by Brute Force

We are fast approaching the stage of the ultimate inversion: the stage where the government is free to do anything it pleases, while the citizens may act only by permission. This is the stage of the darkest periods of human history ─ the stage of rule by brute force.

Ayn Rand

War Against Masculinity

History teaches us that masculinity without morality is lethal. But masculinity constrained by morality is powerful and constructive, and a gift to women.

Christina Hoff Sommers, The War Against Boys.

Satan Hates Humans

The devil hates human beings and sexual difference is at the very core of human nature. The difference between man and woman, the complementarity of man and woman is right there at the heart of human nature. The devil hates humanity and so he tries to cut away at the very core of humanity.
