IM: I’m still experiencing the grieving
process. It’s amazing. At first, I was raving mad. Then, I had doubt about my own assessment as
to which candidate was best prepared to lead the nation. My doubts rapidly vanished yesterday when I discovered
Obama’s first step on the subject of our economy was to meet with union
leaders, senior members of the Center for American Progress, and Moveon.org.
Gadfly: Do you think those who voted for him realize
what is happening?
IM: Do you mean like having a hangover after all
the celebration?
Gadfly: My question was really rhetorical because I
already know the answer.
IM: What do you mean?
Gadfly: There are two reasons why most of those who
voted for Obama have no idea what is about to happen. First, most of them are Copernican drones that
lack the capacity for discernment. Till
now, they have not needed discernment because most of them have no desire to
create or produce for the benefit of others.
This lack of desire to create or produce for the benefit of others
reflects the second reason: these
pathetic creatures are takers.
IM: Gadfly, you do not sugar coat things. What do you think is about to happen?
Gadfly: The takers are about to take more from those
who produce. Today, I heard Obama wants
to raise $1.6 trillion in new revenue.
He thinks he can do this by simply raising taxes on the wealthy. Those who produce will stop producing. There will be fewer jobs and less revenue. The takers will not like this. Chaos will emerge. Martial law will be imposed, and America will
become a totalitarian state. Sounds
absurd doesn’t it?
IM: Yes.
Gadfly: Think about it. Obama has not met with small business leaders
to ask them how the federal government can help them grow their businesses and
create jobs. Not surprisingly, Obama’s
first step was to meet with union leaders who take profits from company owners
for their indentured takers. Indentured
takers then owe their allegiance to the union leader that serves as a parasite,
feeding off the wealth of its host, the wealth creator. Government unions are worse. Public servants are supposed to serve the
public, not union leaders. Union leaders
and union members are Obama’s lieutenants and pit bulls that threaten and
coerce the producers, just as Orwell described in Animal Farm.
IM: So, how does the Center for American Progress
play into this scheme?
Gadfly: As we discussed in a previous conversation,
the Center is the epicenter for creating the progressive message. The Center does not simply offer a set of
beliefs. It teaches orthodoxy that is a
religious mandate for its followers.
Remember, George Lakoff, in his book Moral
Politics: How Liberals and Conservatives
Think, explains that conservative values are not only wrong, they are
immoral.
IM: Is the Center for American Progress a taker?
Gadfly: The Center provides the justification for
taking from others by a large, central, statist government. This taking is justified as social justice,
so that the takers look like givers to a growing number of takers.
IM: How about Moveon.org?
Gadfly: Moveon.org was founded and heavily funded by
George Soros. Moveon.org is a means for
communicating the progressive message.
IM: Obama has assembled a nefarious team for
supposedly restoring our stagnant economy.
Gadfly: Yes, and this is why those who voted for
Obama are not only takers, they are pathetic fools. They want more from others and will soon have
less. Proverbs talks about such people who
have existed for ages: dogs return to
vomit, and fools return to folly (Proverbs 26:11). And the ultimate taker and fool is Obama, the
person to which American takers have hitched their wagon—but all of us, to
include those who have the capacity to discern and did not vote for Obama--will
suffer the same misery if left unchallenged.
IM: The collapse of our nation sounds inevitable.
Gadfly: I’m not so certain about that. I’ll tell you why. When convincing the British government not to
intervene in the American Civil War, despite the nation’s critical dependence
upon cotton from the Southern states, John Stuart Mill observed:
War is an ugly
thing, but not the ugliest of things: the decayed and degraded state of moral
and patriotic feeling which thinks nothing worth a war, is worse. When a people
are used as mere human instruments for firing cannon or thrusting bayonets, in
the service and for the selfish purposes of a master, such war degrades a
people. A war to protect other human beings against tyrannical injustice; a war
to give victory to their own ideas of right and good, and which is their own
war, carried on for an honest purpose by their free choice—is often the means
of their regeneration. A man who has nothing which he is willing to fight for,
nothing which he cares more about than he does about his personal safety, is a
miserable creature, who has no chance of being free, unless made and kept so by
the exertions of better men than himself. As long as justice and injustice have
not terminated their ever renewing fight for ascendancy in the affairs
of mankind, human beings must be willing, when need is, to do battle for the
one against the other.[1]
IM: Gadfly, are you saying we are at war?
Gadfly: Absolutely.
We are at war. Our war
is between indenturing orthodoxy of secular progressivism versus the liberating
orthodoxy of Judeo-Christianity. Free men
and women, who already create and produce for others, must continue to fight on
the side of justice. Justice is fairness for everyone, not just for those
protected classes determined by governing elites. These freedom fighters obviously want safety
and security for everyone. But more
importantly, they will fight for the conditions that allow any person who so desires,
to become self-actualized, not state-actualized.
IM: Didn’t Mill also write about liberty?
Gadfly: Yes, and one of the critical points Mill made
in this work was that the true essence of liberty could only be attained if the
people of a society are educated.
Education involves the capacity to critically think, to discern. So, liberty is at risk in America, as the
recent election demonstrated, because our education system has produced
generations of Americans who lack this capacity (millions of Copernican drones)
. . . for now.
