Attached At The Hip: Extreme Political Ideology, Institutional Corruption, Social Destruction

Have we not seen this Greek tragedy play out on the world stage over and over and over again...extreme political ideology aided and abetted by massive institutional corruption precipitating social upheaval and human slaughter of epic proportions?

As a matter of conjecture, wasn't the entire 20th century merely an exercise demonstrating how these two forces show up at every dance arm in arm? In the USSR, in Communist China, in Nazi Germany, so on and so forth...

What almost all Americans thought to be nearly impossible not so long ago [the ideological overtaking the pragmatic] has reared its ugly head as the Left, after incubating in the Academy since the 60's, has spread its propaganda far and wide enough for it to have become policy and we are seeing failure after failure of initiatives born of extreme ideology with not a care in the world about outcome.

Sections of once beautiful world class cities in ruins, rampant crime, indoctrination-centered education, predatory child groomers, truth on trial, and all the ideologues can do chant their empty mantras and hope for the day when the equity of misery becomes reality with everybody reduced to their nihilistic hell.

This is what happens again and again when man believes he is the center of the Universe. If history has shown us anything, it is the abandonment of a higher power shoulders individuals with responsibilities no man can bear.

Abandon God, welcome the apocalypse.

 

Fire and brimstone coming down from the skies! Rivers and seas boiling!
Forty years of darkness! Earthquakes, volcanoes...
The dead rising from the grave!
Human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together... mass hysteria!

 

I always thought the idea of a god in heaven made as much sense as the belief in Santa Clause living at the North Pole. Nothing in my life so far has me convinced otherwise.

 

Stupid is as stupid does.

 

But I thought I was aligned with the right, till i met a 1950s pro lifer.
Turns out im just as bad as everything you described.

 

Forgive them Father for they no not what they do. Luke 23-24

 

Do tell — if the issue is society abandoning god how is it that some of the largest issues we see with “predatory child groomers” coming from religious establishments? Why is it that blue states fund the entire nation? Why is it that some of the worst levels of life expectancy and childhood mortality are found in blight red states?

 

You should get out more and read something other than the Bible.

 

The Sky is falling!! The Sky is falling!!

 

Hi, impermanence.

We've even seen the Bible itself held high . . . for a photo opportunity.

Regards, stay safe 'n well.

 

Like Karl Marx? I read it.

 

Go to the graves of the approx. 100M slaughtered in the 20th century to this end and grace them with your compassion.

 

If that was all it took to turn you into a leftist, you were never a conservative or even a moderate.

I am not a religious person, so adding “God” into does not impress me. One of the problems with a book Pete Hegseth wrote on this topic was that, according to him, you had to be a Christian or you were lost. Please! What about the Jewish people, Hindus, Buddhists and other religions that teach peace and harmony? Are they all condemned to hell? Not likely.

There is a code of conduct that is covered in the Ten Commandments and the Golden Rule which, if observed, will prevent most sins. I believe that there is a creator, but that higher being created the universe and give us the ability to choose the right path or the wrong path. Many on the far left are going down the wrong path.

 

I am not a religious person either, but one does not need to go down that path to understand the role that religion plays in the life of men. If you do not submit to a higher power [be it God, Nature, The Universe, etc.], the evil in many men will win out over the good and disaster will surely follow.

The Left does not understand human nature correctly and supposes that ideology can Trump human nature even though [time and time again] these "benevolent" leaders on the left turn to the dark side as it is their ideology which demands sacrifice no matter how many men must be slaughtered in order to remain ideologically pure. It is the raising of the intellect above that of the spiritual [moral] that causes the Left to become a pox on all mankind.

 

Republicans use big words with no substance -- meaning no specific wrongdoing -- to criticize Biden.

Then there is the former Republican President. There is plenty of wrongdoing on his part.

“No one has told me I’m being indicted,” Trump wrote, “and I shouldn’t be because I’ve done NOTHING wrong, but I have assumed for years that I am a Target of the WEAPONIZED DOJ & FBI.”

ABC reports, "Former President Donald Trump received a letter from special counsel Jack Smith's office in recent weeks informing him that he is the target of an ongoing investigation related to his handling of classified information while out of office, sources familiar with the matter confirmed to ABC News.

"The point of the target letter is to put the subject on notice that they are facing the prospect of indictment."

Trump faces multiple indictments from the DOJ regarding the classified documents he stole and his role in inciting an insurrection on Jan. 6, 2021. He is also facing an indictment in Georgia for interfering in their election. He has been criminally indicted for paying off a porn star.

Is that specific enough for you?

 

What a bunch of crap!

 

Thank you for your thoughtful analysis.

 

Feel better? I am not a Republican.

 

Still more conservative then any Trump supporter.

 

So are you to the right of Joe Biden's positions, or are you more of an AOC kind of guy? I'm just trying to map out where you are.

I am a supporter of capitalism and economic freedom. I am pro choice within the first four or five months. I don't like Trump because he acts like a child and has a nasty personality. Working for him would be hell. I am still undecided, but Tim Scott might be a good candidate for me. I support DeSantis' bid because he might have the best chance of unseating Trump.

 

Lets see...
I believe in the constitution, support liberty, capitalism, social justice, environmental protection, and reconize the fact that universal healthcare will do far more for unborn children then any liberty infringing anti abortion bill ever could. Just because someone has DNA or a heartbeat it doesn't give them the right to violate your castle. Liberty includes abolishing prohibition.

My theory is you cant save your way out of debt, your household must increase revenue. Borrow money to pay for school to increase revenue, etc.
Economic freedom is impossible with debt.

I staunchly oppose tarrifs, and that Donald trump paved the way for gun control with bumb stock bans. I support practical and consistent legistlation.

Loops holes make for terrible policy. Any state that supports the castle doctrine must be 100% pro choice. Supporting prohibition means you cant oppose gun powder being labeled a controlled substance. Etc.

 

the exact same people who taught me to believe in god also made me believe in claus and the tooth fairy. these ridiculous myths destroy the cohesion of the "nuclear family ,"
