The Abyss

There is something on my mind, as well as it should be on the minds of all mankind. It’s an ominous and perfidious coming of events that haunt me like the night of day. A foreboding if you will. It’s something that’s been going on for centuries, possibly as far back as Augustus Octavius. It’s the manipulating of a society, culture, or civilization alike. The cry: “Give me your children and I shall shape the future.” What does that mean? Simply what governments, religions and psychiatrists have done in the past and are doing today. Something that is rife in our world’s culture. Let me give you a couple examples.

Texas is currently reshaping the curriculum of schools, their text books and what is passed down in history from generation to generation. No longer is it politically correct to refer to American Indians as savages. We have to give more focus on Mexican history and aren’t allowed to mention the brave and gallant men who fought at the Alamo. No longer is Davy Crockett, Jim Bowie or General McCarthy a hero of the past. General Patton is a name less uttered in history books of the day. Scalping wasn’t done by Indians, it was the white man that committed all the atrocities of the past. Christianity is bad, Islam is good. (And that statement right there will be taken out of context by the liberals, the progressives.) It’s okay to be gay, immorality is no longer a sin. Ahh, the iniquities of teaching.

You see, this is how one shapes the future. Teach the children only what you want them to know, not what actually is, or was, and you get an inculcated civilization to do, say and believe what “they” want you to. It’s been this way since biblical times. The Torah, or Old Testament, gives renditions of Kings that never did wrong. Never made a mistake, never killed, committed adultery, or had a cross word with another soul. Could this be true? I don’t know, I wasn’t there. What I do know is if I believe what man says I am truly on the path to perdition. Men have agendas, desires for power and glory. Can they be trusted to pass on to our children unadulterated truths? No.

Case in point. How do Supreme Court Justices hand down decisions with regard the Constitution? Do they “interpret” the Constitution? Do they study it, define each and every word to understand it in it’s finality? No. Decisions are made by comparative law. By precedents and case incidents of other interpretations. Let me give you an example of this in layman’s terms.

If I owned a 1950 Harley Davidson motorcycle and intended on keeping it original, as we say we do with our Constitution, I would always make repairs in accordance with the Harley Davidson Repair Manual. If I did this it would always be the same. But what if I sold the motorcycle? What if I didn’t give the buyer the repair manual or he chose to disregard it? What would happen? He would make repairs, changes, decisions or judgments that weren’t in accordance with the manual. It wouldn’t be original. Get the picture? That’s what our Justices are doing. They’re using precedents, prior interpretations and case histories to make constitutional decisions. They are practicing comparative law!

This is what progressives want. They want to indoctrinate our children in their earlier grades and then work it through high school, higher education, and then in life. By then they wouldn’t know any better anyway. If one never knew anything other than what the current pundit, alleged scholar, government official or papal system espoused, he would never object or have knowledge to base any decisions on other than what these characters say or put in school texts.

Another example. We now have super-hero comic books depicting Hilary Clinton, Sonia Sotomayor, et al, as world saviors. Believe it or not Blu-Ray Comics has depicted these and many other progressives as super-heroes. Check it out. It’s the ideals of liberals and progressives, each and every one. Is this indoctrination of our youth? You bet. At an outrageously young age at that. Comic books! Who do you suppose reads those?

And what is a progressive anyway? It’s someone who wants to forge our future in a dramatic and controversial way. I don’t mean just change with the times, I mean completely eradicate the Constitution and the American way of life. I don’t object to change, I know nothing can stay the same. You either expand or contract because nothing remains a constant. But our Constitution? Sure, it needs to be an evolving document, but that doesn’t mean to completely scrap it or alter it surreptitiously and turn all power over to those who wish to lead as an oligarchy, monocracy, or plutocracy. What our Constitution means is this country is governed for the people by the people.

Yes, progress is inevitable. Technology, population, weaponry, medicine, etc., all evolve and laws have to evolve with them. However, not the fundamentals of what made this great nation. We were founded on capitalism, humanitarianism and equal justice for all. I’ll say it again, government for the people by the people. That we cannot change. To indoctrinate or brainwash our children into thinking or believing anything else will be the demise of the greatest culture in the world. It is condemning America to a dark and lonely abyss, one we may never escape.
