certainly the Warren Courts edicts, the blizzard of social legislation in the 50s, had a similar effect, the attack on the founders was early on by Charles Beard, Howard Zinn probably did the mop up operations, the intellectual school of Biblical scholarship did pulverize the common understanding of Christianity, along with parallel currents in Judaism, which leave out the revealed component
and emphasize the direct action part, hence the latter cannot imagine the raging lions that lie in their midst,

those that take the Torah as their guide are likely to be more cognizant of their reality,

on the Christian side, I would say that the likes of Rick Warren and Joel Osteen and this
puerile poorage they serve up, did as much as the fraud of Jim Bakker, (who sadly is still around) to undermine true faith,

Well said.

I also like you statement about the shape of the cold civil ware we’re experiencing.

Yes, it’s now the Red States versus the Blue States, and the fundamentalist progressives (actually neo-Marxists) versus the silent majority.

That pretty well defines what is happening. The neo-Marxists are hard at work trying to destroy what was once a law and order, free market society based on Judea-Christian principles.

They have a plan. An egalitarian society where everyone gets paid equally by the state and the state controls the means of production. Something like, ah, Cuba, or Zimbabwe, or North Korea. Only, of course, much better. They’ll do it much better. But first they have to destroy this society and culture. That’s why they push racism, transexual mutilation, men in women’s sports, defund the police and anarchy of all kinds. It’s all meant to destroy us from within.

Here are some items from the list of 45 Communist goals read into the Congressional record in 1963:

“23. Control art critics and directors of art museums.” Our plan is to promote ugliness, repulsive, meaningless art.”

24.Eliminate all laws governing obscenity by calling them “censorship” and a violation of free speech and free press.

25. Break down cultural standards of morality by promoting pornography and obscenity in books, magazines, motion pictures, radio and TV.

26. Present homosexuality, degeneracy and promiscuity as “normal, natural and healthy.”

27. Infiltrate the churches and replace revealed religion with “social” religion. Discredit the Bible and emphasize the need for intellectual maturity, which does not need a “religious crutch.”

28. Eliminate prayer or any phase of religious expression in the schools on the grounds that it violates the principle of “separation of church and state”

29. Discredit the American Constitution by calling it inadequate, old fashioned, out of step with modern needs, a hindrance to cooperation between nations on a worldwide basis.

30. Discredit the American founding fathers. Present them as selfish aristocrats who had no concern for the “common man.”

31. Belittle all forms of American culture and discourage the teaching of American history on the ground that it was only a minor part of “the big picture.” ”

Does any of this sound familiar? Aren’t they accomplishing their goals?

The whole list is here:

” Throw another baby on the barbie, it’s over, right ….”

One of the great things about free speech, the Internet, and those emboldened enough by their vainglorious self-worship and triumphalist feelings to let it all hang out in an uninhibited orgy of self-revelation, is the insight we gain into the other. An “other” which is clearly exposed as “other”: a view which we ordinary folk have mostly been denied throughout human, or at least Western, history except perhaps in times of war. And the record persists and cannot be suppressed or hidden. It mostly remains ready to hand.

People now proudly say and reveal things in daily life which they formerly kept hidden so as not to be ostracized or painted as monsters.

What in previous generations were thought to be in number only a relatively few moral freaks – by everyone other than confessors and psychiatrists – turn out to be pretty common.

And you do not have to be a Christian supernaturalist, to marvel at the uncanny assessment of those saints and mystics whose message was that most humans [ and here we merely assume a hypothetical congruence of reality with their major premisses] were, and are, and will be, damned to hell. That is to say, they would deserve to be if there, if there were a truly holy God, and humans received what their once secret now open lives and minds justified.

How has it come to pass that un-elected, unaccountable federal agencies have the right to make laws?

No mystery. You already know: Because a sufficient number of those having the technical status of citizens, or those managing to vote, or able to determine the vote count, prefer, or are satisfied with, it being that way. It’s just the implementation of the managerial welfare state which makes no distinction between the political and the social.

And of course as the domain of interest defined as “social” is much more expansive than that which was historically defined as political, and as “society” has been characterized as so complex as requiring specialist expert opinion and guidance beyond the supposed ken or interest or even capacity of the ordinarily educated man or his political representative, the progressive assumption is that only trained experts are fit to set the rules by which our lives are ordered and maintained.

And for those “gurls of both sexes who jus wanna have fun” that is probably quite alright with them, as long as the water taps can be kept running, skinny jeans are abundant, and abortion is readily available.

“Wine Moms, Proud Thots, Soy Boys and Cucks of the earth, unite! You have nothing to lose that ever meant anything to you anyway!”

Oh wait. They already did.
