Democrat Success: The Age of Delusion

[PoliticalChic]

1. Once the direction of society is placed in the hands of those who can use rationalizations to grow their own power and wealth, the decline begins.
And so it is with the Democrat Party.


David Mamet has written that the great contribution of our Judeo-Christian foundation to Western civilization is that principles of justice are laid in our religious texts, and the truths therein have been worked out over millennia as the result of human interactions and experience.

In order to diminish the power of moral guidance, the forces behind the French Revolution demanded that religion be replaced by man's mind, intellect, and reason. Not only was this a colossal failure, as evidenced by some 600,000 deaths that resulted...but it gave us this:

a. "If the French revolution was the end of monarchy and aristocratic privilege and the emergence of the common man and democratic rights, it was also the beginnings of modern totalitarian government and large-scale executions of "enemies of the People" by impersonal government entities (Robespierre's "Committee of Public Safety"). This legacy would not reach its fullest bloom until the tragic arrival of the German Nazis and Soviet and Chinese communists of the 20th century." French Revolution - Robespierre, and the Legacy of the Reign of Terror




2. Summarized by the motto of the radical's of the 60s, "if it feels good, do it," those who put their faith in man's powers of reason have always sought ways to justify any behaviors, and that has been the power wielded by the Left.....notably the Democrat Party.
"Do whatever you wish....and no one is every to think the worst of you.

There is actually a current thread in which Leftists have demanded no drug testing for welfare recipients.



a. Charles Murray put it this way:

"One change in societal attitude has been the“ecumenical niceness”…don’t fight, share toys, take turns….and never, ever be judgmental. As a result, the upper cultural class, which has stabilized by returning to more traditional ways, survives, yet these individuals will not criticize the behaviors which are destroying the lower cultural class."


Criminality, out of wedlock births, abortion, demands for confiscation of the property of others, undeserved perqs, anti-biological gender pretense.....no matter how absurd....you want it, you've got it!



3.".....[academia's] disparaging of western civilization virtually wiped out respect for any serious study of history and civics, as well as for the Socratic method and the rules of civil discourse. Political correctness sewed confusion into the language, particularly regarding identity politics. Youth are now set to be programmed for conformity through the K-12 “Common Core” curriculum mandates.

4. All of that and more promotes the semantic fog that allows for mind rape. It amounts to an act of “logicide,” .... "

We've seen the PC rant at least 3 times before.

No, 600,000 did not die in the French Revolution. That count drags in all sorts of events so marginally connected to the French Revolution so as to be comical, such as the wars that France was involved in around the Revolutionary period.

Speaking of 600,000, that's how many died in the American Civil War. In 4 short years.

Shall we blame that on the abandonment of religion, too?

PC should read beyond the book jackets and reviews if she ever wants to add a little truth to her delusions:

Cult of the Supreme Being - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Cult of the Supreme Being (French: Culte de l'Être suprême)a was a form of deism established in France byMaximilien Robespierre during the French Revolution.[1] The cult advocates Deism personified as a Goddess also inspired by the principles of the Revolution. It was intended to become the state religion of the new French Republic and a response against Catholicism and its rival, Cult of Reason.[2]

Robespierre believed that reason is only a means to an end, and the singular end is virtue. He sought to move beyond simple deism (often described as Voltairean by its adherents) to a new and, in his view, more rational devotion to theGodhead. The primary principles of the Cult of the Supreme Being were a belief in the existence of a god and the immortality of the human soul.[7] Though not inconsistent with Christian doctrine, these beliefs were put to the service of Robespierre's fuller meaning, which was of a type of civic-minded, public virtue he attributed to the Greeks and Romans.[8]This type of virtue could only be attained through active fidelity to liberty and democracy.[9] Belief in a living god and a higher moral code, he said, were "constant reminders of justice" and thus essential to a republican society.[10]

Liberals are on their way out of power, no more talk, no compromise, they will be destroyed. The silent majority is increasingly rising up and telling the left where to go and what to do when they get there.

How are they (silent majority) telling anyone anything if they are "silent"?

Or are you hearing those voices in your head? Again.

Were you able to find anything in the OP either untrue or inaccurate?

Or, was it simply undeniable and painful to you?

Yes. The figures about the French Revolution weren't true. The charge that the Revolutionaries abandoned religion is not true.

5. To what extent does one's own experience play a role in people's ideology?

If the basis of the French Revolution was correct, then people, based on logic, knowledge, and reason, would make the right choices, politically.


But they don't: 65,915,796 Americans cast their vote for an unmitigated failure whose ideology is opposed to everything the Founders believed.




One reason is that 'knowledge' was denied them: the Left controls the media and the schools.


If the schools appraised their captive audience about the results of every Leftist regime, the slaughter and oppression, the poverty and deprivation, they would make a far different choice.


If the media lived up to the agreement memorialized in the first amendment, a fair and unbiased presentation of facts....that the Democrat promises are never fulfilled.....

yes, a far different outcome.

Don't conservatives vote in school board elections? Don't conservatives vote in state elections (where much of the public school policies come from, i.e., state governments)

Maybe you can devise a magic democracy where the LOSERS in elections get to make the policy.

The left controlling the media is a myth that these idiots actually appear to believe. If it was controlled by the left, it would be because the media is comprised of educated people, just like education.

Why do the pseudo intellectual right wingers not know the proper name for the Democratic Party?
