FRANCE MIRRORS LIBERALISM'S END GAME FOR AMERICA
By Christopher G. Adamo
LEFTWING LIBERALISM: A MAGLIGNANT POLITICAL IDEOLOGY WHOSE ADHERENTS HAVE WORMED THEIR WAY INTO
CONTROL OF MANY OF AMERICA'S MOST INFLUENTIAL INSTITUTIONS & HAVE ENDEAVORED TO UNDERMINE & DESTROY THE
COMMON NATIONAL HERITAGE & CULTURE OF OUR COUNTRY -- HOW LIBERAL LEFTISTS SEEK TO WEAKEN & ERADICATE THE
PHILOSOPHICAL & SPIRITUAL BONDS WHICH HOLD THE AMERICAN PEOPLE TOGETHER AS A SINGLE, UNITED NATION -- HOW
LIBERALISM MAKES AMERICA VULNERABLE TO ITS ENEMIES -- HOW FRENCH SOCIETY & POLITICAL CULTURE CONSTITUTE A
PHENOMENON SIMILAR TO THE PHENOMENON KNOWN AS "AMERICAN LIBERALISM"
FULL STORY:
Just as horrendous as the French riots themselves are the daily revelations
that France’s government is virtually impotent in its understanding of the
nature of the problem and, hence, how to properly respond to it. With each
ensuing attempt by government officials to grovel and pander their way out
of their escalating quagmire, it becomes ever more apparent that they have
no clue as to what cultural forces underlie it.
Thus, their empty rhetoric of appeasement, combined with a fanatical
commitment to avoid reality, leaves them flailing in futility, while the
insurrection spreads and their streets continue to burn. Consequently, the
situation will not permanently abate, even if, over time, the insurgents tire
of their nightly escapades, and the resulting violence temporarily subsides.
The social disorder that ultimately fuels it will remain at a high simmer,
and can certainly be expected to erupt on a continuing basis.
Unfortunately, though the national character, or culture, of the American
people has, for centuries, been fundamentally different from that of the
French, the political and cultural Left in the U.S.A. -- an American social
and political class largely sympathetic to the French and sharing their
ideological orientation -- has wormed its way into control of many of
America’s most influential institutions. From academia to the media, to the
highest levels of the U.S. State Department and the U.S. Central
Intelligence Agency, America is being bombarded by Leftwing Liberalism,
a social, cultural, political, and religious philosophy that is every bit as
intellectually vacant as anything being uttered by the panic-stricken
French.
Reviling the nationalism that swelled throughout the nation in the aftermath
of 9-11, such individual adherents of Leftwing Liberalism now seek to
convince America that impending threats from militant Islam no longer exist,
and perhaps never did. Thus, America is subjected to the Liberals' relentless
repetitions of Islam as a “religion of peace,” and now, “a religion of love.”
Though, among the hopelessly myopic, this may seem like the sort of
conciliatory rhetoric that should heal any wounds or discord among differing
cultures, reality consistently reveals an entirely different effect.
Islamists the world over have unabashedly voiced their intentions to spread
their religion through any and all available means. And by far their best
strategy is to infiltrate societies through the cracks manifested in them
whenever their societal foundations are eroded and undermined.
During the past four decades, American Liberals worked tirelessly to wear
down and ultimately destroy any vestige of this nation’s worthy heritage,
along with the philosophical and spiritual “glue” that has bonded the nation
together. Now, in 2005, a gaping wound has been inflicted on the American
culture, through which any number of encroaching maladies may enter and
proliferate.
Consider, as just one example, the relentless manner in which the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) has
sought to expunge any mention of the nation’s Judeo-Christian heritage in
the public arena. As a result, long-standing American traditions, such as the
observance of Christmas, are no longer protected by the First Amendment.
Meanwhile, every bizarre “religious” rite, regardless of how primitive or
pagan, enjoys a growing pretense of “constitutional” legitimacy. Can this
society, founded as it was on such basic Christian principles as the Ten
Commandments and the “Golden Rule,” hope to prevail when its social fabric
is increasingly being rent and unraveled in this manner?
Certainly in America, as in France, no migration of outsiders can reasonably
be expected to “assimilate” into a culture that is systematically being
thoroughly discredited and eradicated before them. It is wholly unrealistic
to presume that the individuals who make up such an influx will hold a
culture or its system of laws in any higher regard than the predominating institutions
that historically and officially define it.
It is increasingly obvious in this nation that laws have ceased to be a
means of upholding society at large, and are now applied selectively and
capriciously. Ultimately, when justice fails, those in power pick and choose
which laws to invoke, generally in pursuit of a personal agenda.
So, it stands to reason that illegal immigrants, whether from Mexico, the
Middle-East or anywhere else, no longer have reservations about breaching
the borders, acquiring false identities and accessing innumerable
government services, with an absolute disregard for laws they might violate
in the process. Nor can they possibly become a stabilizing force in the
midst of the tempests of social upheaval.
America needs to recognize the danger of the incursions facing it, as well
as the complicit role played by the malignancy of Liberalism, and its
ability to neutralize the nation’s defenders in the morass of “political
correctness.” Otherwise, if those on the political and cultural Left prevail, our nation will
ultimately fare no better than the French.
