.....but Liberals don't understand that.
The greatest President in a hundred years said “It isn't so much that liberals are ignorant. It's just that they know so many things that aren't so.” So many of the doctrines and predictions on which Progressive/Liberal beliefs are built…..aren’t so.
1.With the Enlightenment came the view that mankind can do anything, can know everything, and is without limits in relation to the universe.
It gave rise to the French Revolution, and the end of religion as no longer useful: man became God. And no matter where and how often the idea came to chaos and destruction…..it persists today as communism, Progressivism, socialism, and Liberalism.
2.“April 13, 1798, was a Friday. But it was springtime in revolutionary Paris, meaning that under the Directory’s new calendar it was the twenty-forth day of the month of Germinal in the Year Six, and the next day of rest was still six days distant, not two.
Has any reform been more futile? The Government’s arrogant discard of Christianity means that weeks have been extended to ten days instead of seven. The revision’s intent is to supplant the papal calendar with a uniform alternative of twelve months of thirty days each, based on the system of ancient Egypt.
Bibles themselves were torn up to make paper gun cartridges in the grim days of 1793, and now the biblical week has been guillotined, each month instead divided into three decades of ten days, with the year, with the year beginning at the autumn equinox and five to six holidays added to balance idealism with our solar orbit. Not content with regimenting the calendar, the government has introduced a new metric system for weight and measure.
There are even proposals for a new clock of precisely 100,000 seconds each day. Reason, reason!...The new calendar is the kind of logical idea imposed by clever people that completely ignores habit, emotion, and human nature and thus forecasts the Revolution’s doom.
Your colonial revolution was one of political independence. This one in France is about the very order of life. My God, a king guillotined! Thousands sent to slaughter! Wars unleashed on every French border! Atheism enshrined! Church lands seized, debts ignored, estates confiscated, rabbles armed, riots, anarchy, and tyranny!” From the novel “Napoleon’ Pyramids,” by William Dietrich
3. Bolsheviks claimed descent: “Historians of the French Revolution, which the Russians saw as a model for their own…”
Bolshevik Festivals, 1917–1920
4. When reason and science became the replacement for religion and morality, one of the limits on mankind had been reached. How many times must we realize that science can tell us what we can do, not what we should do?
5. When religion was attacked and terror became government policy, in the course of France's short revolution, 600,000 French citizens were killed, and another 145,000 fled the country. Schom, "Napoleon Bonaparte," p. 253.
The reason our revolution was so different from the violent, homicidal chaos of the French version was the dominant American culture was Anglo-Saxon and Christian. “52 of the 56 signers of the declaration and 50 to 52 of the 55 signers of the Constitution were orthodox Trinitarian Christians.” David Limbaugh
Shouldn’t this have been an indication on mankind’s limitations, a warning?
