The Agenda: Grinding America Down
« on: July 23, 2011, 01:55:40 PM »
Can't say there's enough meat and potatoes here to prove causation, but most certainly enough to show a correlation.

The Agenda - Grinding America Down
"A strict observance of the written laws is doubtless one of the high duties of a good citizen, but it is not the highest. The laws of necessity, of self-preservation, of saving our country when in danger, are of higher obligation. To lose our country by a scrupulous adherence to written law, would be to lose the law itself, with life, liberty, property and all those who are enjoying them with us; thus absurdly sacrificing the end to the means."

Agreed.

Enough to prove card-carrying commies achieved all this?  I dunno.

But has the radical agenda of all the disparate left-wing activists achieved the same ends?  I think that you could say yes, or that they are winning on many fronts at the very least.

What has happened in this nation is not an accident or a coincidence.  Leftists of all flavors have bullied, pushed, lied, manipulated and bribed their way into eroding everything that used to make America great.

And as one mortal to another, I shall never forgive them for it.
We are now where The Founders were when they faced despotism.

I bought the DVD when it came out. It's a good documentary, well done technically, with some heavy hitters like Edwin Meese, Phyllis Schlafly, and Trevor Loudon in it. The central thrust of it is that the alarming acceleration of changes in this country are really the endgame of things set into motion in the early 20th century by disparate groups and ideologies that we loosely describe as the Proglodytes. The confirmed Marxists/communists are certainly among them, but it's even more generic than that. One of the common threads from their beginning is this sort of Nietzschean idea that "God is dead" and in His place humanity itself (via the State) can become its own god. Most brutality of the past century is in some way linked to this humanistic notion that humanity can perfect itself into (variously) Nietzsche's Overman, or the Nazi's supermen, or the Bolshevik's "New Soviet Man", and so on.

The idea wasn't that we could perfect ourselves, rather that we could be forced into perfection by them, the more intelligent, willing to make the omelet.
