We Need to Fight the LEFT

The Left is not just a movement: it is a state of mind. Like all evils, it will not vanish. Just when you think it might be on the way out, it emerges again. Its ideas rebound no matter how often they have been discredited because its seed is present in every human soul.

It will not disappear, because human nature is not about to change.

To fight the Left, we must beat it at its own game. The Left operates by infiltrating and corrupting our institutions, and the minds and hearts of a new generation. We must build better than they do, to uphold what they want to destroy, and to fight the inner battle for the soul of America. Then we will not simply be fighting out of outrage or pain, we will have something to fight for.

Know the Future by Experience

I have but one lamp by which my feet are guided, and that is the lamp of experience. I know of no way of judging of the future but by the past. 

Patrick Henry, cited in Daniel Greenfield, Domestic Enemies: The Founding Fathers’ Fight Against the Left, pg. 235

Sincere Tyranny?

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. … Those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

C.S. Lewis

We MUST Embrace the Past

The Utopian Left is convinced that history can be broken away from the past and that its ideology will cary us away to “the right side of history.” Conservatives innately understand that there will be no great break with the past. That is why the Left makes war on the past, canceling historical personalities and demanding a blank slate, while conservatives embrace our roots.

Daniel Greenfield, Domestic Enemies: The Founding Fathers’ Fight Against the Left, pg. 234

Today's America

In America today, there is a shortage of good manners, politeness, consideration, and a work ethic. Two generations were taught they need not work, apply themselves in school, or restrain their tempers. And the schools not only went along with the parents' shortcomings, but took them a step further and encouraged such miscreant behavior, taking it to the extreme of actually promoting sex changes. That is ugly to the bone.

M.B. Mathews, “America the disgusting.”

Government Needs to Be Bridled

We have no Government armed with Power capable of contending with human Passions unbridled by morality and Religion.

John Adams, as cited in, Daniel Greenfield, Domestic Enemies: The Founding Fathers’ Fight Against the Left, pg xxvii

Acknowledge the Skills Gap and the Behavior Gap

We need to face up to the truth: the reason for racial underrepresentation across a range of meritocratic fields is the academic skills gap. The reason for racial overrepresentation in the criminal justice system is the crime gap.

And let me issue a trigger warning here: I am going to raise uncomfortable facts that many well-intentioned Americans would rather not hear. Keeping such facts off stage may ordinarily be appropriate as a matter of civil etiquette. But it is too late for such forbearance now. If we cannot acknowledge the skills gap and the behavior gap, we are going to continue destroying our civilizational legacy.

LEFTISTs Are EVIL

To the Romans, the right hand was dexter and the left, sinister. In Ecclesiastes, King Solomon warned that, “A wise man’s understanding is at his right hand; but a fool’s understanding is at his left.” To the Jews, as to the Indians, the Arabs and many ancient peoples, the left side was the wrong way. And the wrong way was evil. Even when it wasn’t evil, it was still a poor idea.

In English, the word left is derived from the old English lyft, meaning weak, foolish, and worthless.

Daniel Greenfield, Domestic Enemies: The Founding Fathers’ Fight Against the Left, pg. xiii

Justice Should be Color-Blind

The curious state of our criminal justice system today is a function of the disparate impact principle. If you wonder why police officers are not making certain arrests, or why district attorneys are not prosecuting whole categories of crimes—such as shoplifting, trespassing, or farebeating—it is because apprehending lawbreakers and prosecuting crime have a disparate impact on black criminals. Urban leaders have decided that they would rather not enforce the law at all, no matter how constitutional that enforcement, than put more black criminals in jail.

Be a REAL Man

To the gentlemen here today, part of what plagues our society is this lie that has been told to you that men are not necessary in the home or in our communities. As men, we set the tone of the culture, and when that is absent, disorder, dysfunction, and chaos set in. This absence of men in the home is what plays a large role in the violence we see around the nation. … Be unapologetic in your masculinity, fighting against the cultural emasculation of men. Do hard things. Never settle for what is easy. You might have a talent that you don’t necessarily enjoy, but if it glorifies God, maybe you should lean into that over something that you might think suits you better.

Harrison Butler, commencement speech at Benedictine College, Atchison, Kansas, 5/11/24

"Science" and Racial Disparity

The federal government is shifting medical research funding from pure science to studies on racial disparities and social justice. Why? Not because of any assessment of scientific need, but simply because black researchers do more racism research and less pure science. The National Institutes of Health has broadened the criteria for receiving neurology grants to include things like childhood welfare receipt because considering scientific accomplishment alone results in a disparate impact.

"WOKE" Degradation of Western Art

Chinese, African, and Indian cultural traditions are still treated with curatorial respect, their works analyzed in accordance with their creators’ intent. As soon as a critic turns his eye or ear on Western art, however, all he can see or hear is imperialism and white privilege. It is a perverse obsession. We are teaching young people to dismiss the greatest creations of humanity. We are stripping them of the capacity to escape their narrow identities and to lose themselves in beauty, sublimity, and wit. No wonder so many Americans are drowning in meaninglessness and despair.

Legal Profession Is Failing

Standards are falling in the legal profession, which came up with the disparate impact concept in the first place. Upon taking office in 2021, President Biden announced that he would no longer submit his judicial nominees to the American Bar Association for a preliminary rating. Why? According to a member of the White House Counsel’s Office, allowing the ABA to vet candidates would be incompatible with the “diversification of the judiciary.” This claim was dubious.

The ABA, after all, cannot open its collective mouth without issuing a bromide about the need to diversify the bar. Its leading members are obsessed with the demographics of corporate law firms and law school faculties. This is the same ABA that gave its highest rating to a Supreme Court nominee who as a justice would make the false claim during a challenge to Covid vaccine mandates that “over 100,000 children are in serious condition [from Covid] and many are on ventilators.”

Who Controls the Mind of the Nation?

Whoever controls the media and the educational system ultimately shapes the “mind” (or prevailing view) of a nation. If used artfully, it becomes easy to segregate individuals or groups from one another and even pit them against each other. Many people are completely shocked to see this dark scenario play out on university campuses around the country as students put into action what they have learned from their professors.

Evolution?!?

It is foolish to examine the human body without an eye to design. It is foolish to experience the seasons of life and never sense the witness of God. It is foolish to listen to Handel’s Messiah and picture evolving monkeys making music.

Where From Morals?

Christian morality is founded on the conviction of an absolute moral order outside of, and yet somehow inscribed on, our very being. It flows like a river from the nature of the Creator through the nature of created things and into our minds and hearts. We cannot make it up. To quote [C.S.] Lewis again, “The human mind has no more power of inventing a new value than of imagining a new primary color, or, indeed, of creating a new sun and a new sky for it to move in.”

What Is YOUR Ethical System?

When a person makes up his own ethical code he always makes up an ethical system which he thinks he has kept. In the law of God, we find a law which smashes our self-righteousness, eliminates all trust in our own goodness, and convinces us that we are sinners. The law of God leaves us with our hands over our mouths and our faces in the dust. We are humbled before God and convinced that we are guilty transgressors of his law.

Do You Think?

Suppose there were no intelligence behind the universe. In that case nobody designed my brain for the purpose of thinking. Thought is merely a by-product of some atoms within my skull. But if so, how can I trust my own thinking to be true? But if I can’t trust my own thinking, of course, I can’t trust the argument leading to atheism, and therefore have no reason to be an atheist, or anything else. Unless I believe in God, I can’t believe in thought; so I can never use thought to disbelieve in God.

The Mystery of Creation

At this moment it seems as though science will never be able to raise the curtain on the mystery of creation. For the scientist who has lived by his faith in the power of reason, the story  ends like a bad dream. He has scaled the mountains of ignorance; he is about to conquer the highest peak; as he pulls himself over the final rock, he is greeted by a band of theologians who have been sitting there for centuries.

A Designer Does Not Evolve

The more I study science the more I am impressed with the thought that this world and universe have a definite design—and a design suggests a designer. It may be possible to have design without a designer, a picture without an artist, but my mind is unable to conceive of such a situation.

True Islam

How dreadful are the curses which Mohammedanism lays on its votaries! Besides the fanatical frenzy, which is as dangerous in a man as hydrophobia in a dog, there is this fearful fatalistic apathy. The effects are apparent in many countries, improvident habits, slovenly systems of agriculture, sluggish methods of commerce, and insecurity of property exist wherever the followers of the Prophet rule or live. A degraded sensualism deprives this life of its grace and refinement, the next of its dignity and sanctity. The fact that in Mohammedan law every woman must belong to some man as his absolute property, either as a child, a wife, or a concubine, must delay the final extinction of slavery until the faith of Islam has ceased to be a great power among men. Individual Muslims may show splendid qualities, but the influence of the religion paralyses the social development of those who follow it. No stronger retrograde force exists in the world. Far from being moribund, Mohammedanism is a militant and proselytizing faith. It has already spread throughout Central Africa, raising fearless warriors at every step; and were it not that Christianity is sheltered in the strong arms of science, the science against which it had vainly struggled, the civilization of modern Europe might fall, as fell the civilization of ancient Rome.

A New World Order With Communists!

Three separate thought-provoking statements on the 2015 Documentary, AGENDA 2: Masters of Deceit: 

The UN Charter was written by Communist Alger Hiss.

Agenda 21 is a blueprint for constructing a New World Order. It is vital people grasp this. (Statement by Maurice Strong, environmentalist.)

In 1995 communists took over the AFL-CIO. Unions vote Democrat, dictate policies. The Democrat party is run by communists.

The EVIL In Our Government and Culture

Riots are purposely incited by implicit suggestions that retaliation for things like racism is justified. Police are disrespected, shot, and killed. Terrorist states are enriched, and foreign wars financed with tax money siphoned from government coffers. Our border, language, and civilization is being decimated, and Third World diseases infect our citizens. Meanwhile, everyday Americans are portrayed as inherently evil. To ensure voters’ voices are drowned out at the ballot box, instead of forbidding illegal entry, our government presses beaten-down taxpayers to feed, clothe, enrich, and accommodate hordes of illegals that include swindlers, murderers, and rapists. As stunned citizens lick the wounds inflicted by government, progressives support an invasion of military-aged men armed with tactical game plans printed in Chinese.

Brainwashing Americans

Brainwashing is defined as “the process of pressuring someone into adopting radically different beliefs by using systematic and often forcible means.” In case you haven’t noticed, that is the kind of pressuring presently threatening the “blessings of liberty.” From smooth-talking Marxists to leftist media outlets to communist legislators, trusting Americans are being forcibly pressured to relinquish political, social, and religious ideals and to embrace the dysfunctional regimentation being imposed on them by those who intrinsically despise this nation. This process is being successfully accomplished through climate panic, collectivism, illegal immigration, lack of election integrity, constitutional disrespect, as well as the demonization of whole swaths of good Americans.

Best Society

The evidence demonstrates that society functions best when the institutions of family, church, and state exercise their proper authority within their God-ordained spheres. At is most basic level, society flourishes when it is built on strong families composes of a father, mother, and children.

The Cosmological Argument For God

The argument that demonstrates the universe was caused, and that the cause is sufficient for its effect, is called the cosmological argument for God’s existence. Some claim energy by itself was sufficient to cause our universe. But while the universe is full of energy, energy itself has never been shown to create information like the ordered information we see in human DNA. Also, energy doesn’t have a plan, and yet. The universe seems ordered and purposeful. It’s reasonable, then, to conclude that whatever caused the universe must, according to a predetermined purpose, be capable of producing order. This is suspiciously close to how the Bible describes God.

College is Ideologically Dangerous

The fundamentalist [by which he meant Christian] parents of our fundamentalist students think that the entire “American liberal Establishment” is engaged in a conspiracy…. These parents have a point…. When we American college teachers encounter religious fundamentalists, we do not consider the possibility of reformulating our own practices of justification so as to give more weight to the authority of the Christian scriptures. Instead, we do our best to convince these students of the benefits of secularization…. Rather, I think those students are lucky to find themselves under the benevolent Herrschaft [teaching] of people like me, and to have escaped the grip of their frightening, vicious, dangerous parents.

A Horror of Communism

People thought Adolf Hitler was a pompous fool early in his career. Who could have predicted he would actually amass enough power to slaughter millions? Similarly, who could have imagined that a radical writer named Karl Marx, a man deeply unpopular even with his friends, would be capable of unleashing an idea—communism—that would destroy more people than any other idea in history?

What America Once Was

America was once a nation of free-thinking individualists priding themselves on the constitutional idea that God ordained and endowed each person as an end unto himself with rights to think, act, believe, and behave according to personal thoughts, conscience, and individual interest. According to the Declaration of Independence, those “inalienable rights” include life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Therefore, because government’s power is derived from the consent of the free, the job of those running the country is to “secure,” not undermine those rights and freedoms.

A Reason for DIscernment in Church

The communists discovered that the destruction of religion could proceed much faster through infiltration of the church. It was determined that with only small forces availableiti would be necessary to concentrate communist agents in seminaries and divinity schools. These institutions would make it possible for a small communist minority to influence the ideology of future clergymen. The idea was to divert the emphasis from the spiritual to the material.

Why Your Dollar Loses Value

By continuing process of inflation governments confiscate secretly and unobserved an important part of the wealth of their citizens. Lenin was certainly right. There is no subtler, no surer means of overturning the existing basis of society than to debauch its currency. The process engages all the hidden forces of economic law on the side of destruction, and it does it in a manner which not one man is a million is able to diagnose.
