American Exceptional ism, pt. 2
If there is one lesson our society owes humanity to learn
from the last century it is: The
intellectual, elitist, snob, bigot, tyrants that proclaim to be the only ones
smart enough to run our lives for us, are universally wrong. They are wrong about everything, every single
time.
It can be astounding just how absolutely dead wrong an Ivy
League indoctrination can make people.
It can be equally astounding just how arrogant and
contemptuous an Ivy League faculty lounge can make people.
But here it is, on parade, in our faces, up in our grill, so
to speak. This is nothing new. We have been subjected to this for over a century. For well over a hundred years these
intellectual, elitist, snob, bigot, tyrants have been foisting off horrible
policies and ideas, after terrible policies and ideas, after just plain wrong
headed policies and ideas.
It is about damn time we learn the lesson!
It is not easy. We
can do it. We are Americans. We are Exceptional. We can do anything.
Our founders knew this was the nature of the beast. As a civilization becomes more affluent, more
of the population can dedicate their lives to study, to academic endeavors, to
science, and to philosophy. As more
people become more learned they will inevitably think, and then to believe, and
then to accept as fact that they have all the answers if they could just
control society. This becomes the
downfall of the civilization. Eventually
the intellectual, elitist, snob, bigot, tyrants take to bribing people from the
public treasury to buy their loyalty and that is the death knell. This is the cycle of civilization since
before written history. It is, quite
literally, the failed policies of the past.
Our country was founded to be the exception to this
rule. Our country was designed to have a
limited government that serves the citizens instead of the historical norm of
the peasants serving the government. Our
constitution was created to be shackles on the government to limit the
intrusion of bureaucrats and politicians into our lives and limit the
opportunities for graft and corruption.
Our founders knew this from studying the ancient texts which documented
the cycle of civilization and have many cautionary tales about unfettered
government power.
The root cause of virtually every problem in our country
today is the government. Even the
problems not originally caused by government are perpetuated and expanded by
government, nearly always in the name of “compassion” or “fairness” or some
other hollow platitude.
The solution to nearly every problem is actually quite
simple. The solution is uniquely ours
and it works when it is followed. That
doesn’t mean we have not made mistakes by following it; in fact we have made
three mistakes even when following this plan, one of which was corrected also
by following it. We have two others to
correct.
Here is how the solution starts, let me know if you have
heard of it before: “We the people…”
We have to restore the Constitution of the United States of
America to be the law of the land. We
need to restore and strengthen the constitutional shackles and put the
government back in the box it came in.
It is not easy. We
can do it. We are Americans. We are Exceptional. We can do anything.
A careful analysis of the Holy Bible will show that God only
ever had one use for government: To
torture and murder Jesus. That is an
exceptionally important lesson that has been lost. Actually it wasn’t lost, it has been buried. It was hidden by the priests who were the only
ones allowed to read the text and tell the stories to the peasants. It was obfuscated because the priests were
using government to gain power and they weren’t about to allow anything to curb
their power lust. Today it is outright
denied by so-called “progressives” who only live to push others around and
cause others grief. Funny how the “anti-bullying”
crowd are some of the worst bullies in the world. Well, it isn’t exactly “funny”…
The biblical lesson is a bit too subtle for most people so
another text was published by Sir Thomas More in 1516 called “Utopia.” It is doubtful anyone reading this has
actually read the book, and guaranteed nobody has read it in the original Latin. I tried to read the book myself when I was in
high school, right after I had to read the book “1984” for my English class,
and I couldn’t finish it because it terrified me. I couldn’t finish “The Shining” for the same
reason.
The book describes the island nation of Utopia,
theoretically the perfect place. It was
quite clear to me before the end of the first chapter that Utopia is a prison: The cruelest, meanest, wickedest, inhuman
prison possible. It turns out it was the
model for the penal colony that became the nation of Australia.
How the term “Utopia” entered our lexicon as an ideal world
or country, as someplace we should all want to live in, and should all be
striving to achieve is beyond me. The
only explanation I can come up with is that “progressives” pervert
everything. Occam’s razor strikes again. Both “Utopia” and “1984” were written as
cautionary tales. “Progressives” use
both books as instruction manuals. Thus we
have the horrible condition of not only our country but the entire world.
We have to learn this lesson too.
It is not easy. We
can do it. We are Americans. We are Exceptional. We can do anything.
America was great because America was good. America was good because America was
free. As our freedom was eroded, our
goodness diminished. As our goodness diminished
our greatness faded. As our greatness
faded our leadership dissolved. The
entire world is suffering from a lack of American leadership.
We have to reclaim our freedom from the intellectual,
elitist, snob, bigot, tyrants that stole our freedoms from us. As our freedom is reclaimed, our goodness
will grow. As our goodness grows, our
greatness will flourish. As our
greatness flourishes, our leadership will once again be restored. We will then be able to lead the world to a
much better, much more prosperous, with rising quality of life not just for our
own citizens but for all people all over the world.
It will not be easy.
We can do it. We are Americans. We are Exceptional. We can do anything.
