Don't Ignore Evil

The world will not be destroyed by those who do evil, but by those who watch them without doing anything.

What Is Needed for Stable Civilization

Where you do not have stable marriage
and you do not have stable parenthood, 
and you do not have stable families,
you cannot have a stable economic system,
you cannot have a stable social system,
and you cannot have a stable civilization.

Equal Rights?

The Real Endgame of the LGBT Agenda

That is their [the LGBTQXYZ mob] endgame. They NEVER just wanted “tolerance” or “acceptance” or “equality” or even homosexual marriage. What they are really after is the full endorsement and celebration of their lifestyles and agendas, and the complete eradication of any and all opposition.

And they have always known that real-deal churches and Christians are the final obstacle standing in the way of complete and final hegemony. Thus they are actively on search and destroy missions for any recalcitrants who still will not bow down and embrace their agendas and worship at their altars.

Political Language

Political language is designed to make lies sound truthful and murder respectable, and to give an appearance of solidity to pure wind.

George Orwell, Why I Write, cover quote.

What “Democratic” Socialism Looks Like

Socialism is usually defined as "common ownership of the means of production." Crudely: the State, representing the whole nation, owns everything, and everyone is a State employee. This does not mean that people are stripped of private possessions such as clothes and furniture, but it does mean that all productive goods, such as land, mines, ships and machinery, are the property of the State. The State is the sole large-scale producer. It is not certain that Socialism is in all ways superior to capitalism, but it is certain that, unlike capitalism, it can solve the problems of production and consumption. At normal times a capitalist economy can never consume all that it produces, so that there is always a wasted surplus (wheat burned in furnaces, herrings dumped back into the sea, etc, etc.) and always unemployment. ... 

In a Socialist economy these problems do not exist. The State simply calculates what goods will be needed and does its best to produce them. Production is only limited by the amount of labour and raw materials. Money, for internal purposes, ceases to be a mysterious all-powerful thing and becomes a sort of coupon or ration-ticket, issued in sufficient quantities to buy up such consumption goods as may be available at the moment.

George Orwell, Why I Write, pg.47-48

I don’t normally have a commentary with citations on this blog, but I posted THIS citation for the sole purpose of commenting about socialism.

Orwell stated he believed in “democratic” socialism, but all that means is that there isn’t an authoritarian running the show, just a government.  In reference to rich people, he said that butlers and “private incomes” are “monstrosities.” His outlook on income was that the government would decide what minimum income would be, and then the richest would not be allowed an income greater than ten times the minimum. With Orwell’s plan he would eliminate the “mere owners who live not by virtue or anything they produce but by the possession of title-deeds and share certificates.”  Of course the fact that said owners worked their way up to owning such production facilities, and often even invented them and built them, doesn’t seem to faze this man who tells us exactly what “democratic socialism” would do to everyone.  He says with State ownership, “nobody shall live without working.” So to his mind, managing production facilities wouldn’t be working. He rightly says resistance to his ideology “will come from the big capitalists, the bankers, the landlords and the idle rich.”  As with all socialists, you can certainly see his envy of those above his status — although I wonder just how much income he derived from the sale of his books; you know, his capitalist engagement.  Farmers will no longer own their land but if they are “competent” they “will continue as a salaried manager.” And if your occupation is as a “money lender,” then your life is “worthless.”

Additionally, he looks to raising the age at which one can leave government schools — obviously to keep them under government indoctrination for as long as possible. And as far Orwell is concerned, “Patriotism has nothing to do with Conservatism.  It is actually the opposite of Conservatism…”. So how does he explain that the vast majority of conservatives in the USA are also very patriotic?

Well, what I see is that socialism, “democratic” or not, is a rank violation of personal right of every sort.  And yet the ignorant people on the LEFT in the USA are demanding that the USA become a socialist nation. 

For a Democracy to Function -- Ideas

For a democracy to function, there must be a free exchange of ideas. Leftists do not believe in this. For the leftist, the consent of the governed and the opinions of the voters must be manufactured through the use of propaganda and the censoring and punishment of wrong-think. The propaganda and censorship is everywhere. It begins in preschool and continues throughout one’s education. Leftist­-approved correct-think is provided in every format—television, movies, books, magazines, video games, and even in standardized test questions. Expressing wrong-think is dangerous, physically and financially.

The result is massive censorship even though the US is a “free” society where speech is “protected.” However, in the surveillance systems being imposed worldwide, only leftist speech is protected; rightist speech is ruthlessly suppressed.” I am sorry, Sir. Your card has been declined because of your political views. I am afraid we’ll be closing your bank account too. Consequently, the dissident right must meme, troll, write books “in a mood of revelry and laughter,” and speak in code. This is something Straussians understand. This fact gets to another reason that leftists hate democracy; censorship of wrong-think cannot be enforced in the privacy of the voting booth.

For a Democracy to Function -- Fair Play

For a democracy to function, there must be fair play. Leftists do not play fair; as noted, they cheat. Everywhere you look, in leftist states and enclaves, the voting rules are skewed toward cheating. Laws are passed allowing paper and mail-in ballots that are easily manipulated, voting machines that are easily hacked, ballot harvesting on election day and night and over-night, the use of erasable pencils in voting booths, voting without the need for voter ID, and more. Aside from rules which destroy the integrity of the ballot, leftists cheat outright: “voters” are bused from one polling place to another, ghost polling places are set up, ballots are cast by the dead and by illegals, loyalists cast the correct votes for an entire nursing home, and so on. Immigration, too, is a method of stuffing the ballot box.

If cheating does not work, the leftists will keep changing the rules until the vote is forever a leftist vote. The “jungle primary” is a good example of how the voting rules can create a one-party state. See California and Louisiana. Vote splitting is another method of not playing fair. The creation and support of alternative parties to split the rightist vote is common in Europe. In the US, evidence supports the conclusion that the Libertarian party was formed by leftists to siphon off votes from the Republican Party to enhance the chances of a leftist victories. And vote splitting works: see for example the 2018 midterm elections. Pretend Republican candidates are also run who immediately switch parties upon being elected. Expanding the franchise is another tactic, be it giving the vote to felons or “Irish voters” who live someplace other than Ireland. There is no fair play among the leftists; voting is just a mechanism for the exercise and accrual of raw power.

White Slavery?

More whites were brought as slaves to North Africa than blacks brought as slaves to the United States or to the 13 colonies from which it was formed. White slaves were still being bought and sold in the Ottoman Empire, decades after blacks were freed in the United States.

How Can Wrong Be Right?

The father who carefully protects and guards his virgin daughter’s ears from every polluting word takes her to the theater himself, exposing her to all its vile language and attitudes….. How can it be right to look at the things that are wrong to do? How can those things which defile a man when they go out of his mouth not defile him when going in through his eyes and ears?

People Need To Think About What They Wear

Most American would be quite embarrassed to be seen in public in their underwear. Yet, they think nothing of relaxing at a poolside in swimsuits that are no less revealing. And don’t we Christians generally follow right along with our culture? We appear in public in swimwear that would have shocked even non-Christians only 50 years ago [from 1989 publishing]. Yet because our swimwear is acceptable to the modern conservative community, we think nothing of it.

Veterans Day

Ladies, Watch What You Wear

Luxurious clothing that cannot conceal the shape of the body is no covering at all.  Such clothing, clinging close to the body, takes the body’s shape and adheres to the flesh. It outlines the woman’s figure, so that the whole shape of her body is visible to spectators, even though they cannot actually see the body itself…. Such clothing is meant for looking, not for covering.

The Wrong Idiom

We use a most unfortunate idiom when we say, of a lustful man prowling the streets, that he “wants a woman.” Strictly speaking, a woman is just what he does not want. He wants a pleasure for which a woman happens to be the necessary piece of apparatus.

C.S. Lewis, The Four Loves, p.134

Word Weapons

"Homophobia" and "transphobia" are junk-science scare terms designed to end rational dialogue and debate, and instead to promote censorship and reeducation camps, possibly even setting the stage for future psychiatric commitment through suggestion of mental illness.
