Some still timely views from last year

In looking over some posts I put up in 2017 on another blog I've picked out some sections I think still worth quoting or paraphrasing in 2018.  The radical left, in its relentless assault on our President, and on most of us in 2017, is yet a very present existential threat to everything we value. I wrote:    

Freedom is to the radicals who yet purpose the destruction of America a selfish (well, yes!) product of  being - well - free, individual, responsible and deserving of the benefits of positive living.  As such, it is to these dreamers, because of its human failings, unjust.  Justice, they hold, is assured by the surrender of the banal and mundane general public to the guidance of an unquestionably virtuous and all knowing elite. Physical sanctions against those who will not submit are appropriate and would be delivered with dispatch.  Completely centralized government is the obvious mechanism for such a state.

The Greatest Generation, its 1930's and '40's travails blessedly behind it, proceeded after victory, in an unimaginable irony, to give life to its opposite, a terribly flawed brood.  An all too significant faction of their children has shamed America beyond measure with its casual liberal bigotry, its arrogance and its insouciant contentment with its execrable ingratitude. "Please get out of the new world if you can't lend a hand. . ."; it took real crust to say that to those who risked and gave all to give us prosperity (and I bid anyone who sneers at material well being try living without it). To the big babies we owe: the Vietnam tragedy; the savaging of our military and police; the disgraceful Clinton era; the ascension of the communist Obama; the very near enthronement of one who would have, in her terribly purposeful reign, probably closed the radical deal; the eclipse of common sense manifested in the rise of "political correctness"; the legality of the convenient and willful murder of unborn humans and the gleeful expectoration in their debauched media of loathing for a land which afforded them the most miraculous of childhoods - that undeniably critical time of life.They are a bunch of perfectionist brats whose influence derives only from their unprecedented numbers ( for which they can only credit their parents).  They have immersed their country in their mess for decades and they have rated a good slap in the puss for ever so long. Now Father Time has given them one:  We boomers are, hilariously for the anointed ones among us, growing old! What excelling mirth is there in this; that those who believed their youth to have heralded the dawn of an unquestionably advanced and exalted humanity - why they themselves to be sure - are now too pooped to pop.  And to top it off, they've been brought back to the good old earth from the stellar reaches of Aquarius, feckless and unfulfilled and they KNOW it.  All credit to that considerable faction of our generation which has lived positive lives of loyalty but the  baleful influence of the ingrate bunch must be confronted.

So many measures destructive of our free enterprise economy can be "rationalized" by the "necessity of combating man made global warming".  That is why radicals embrace it.  They neither know nor care if the science is sound. Much counterpoint to the supposed human provenance of perceived global warming is readily available on line if one is open minded enough to access it.  The American academy, cowed by the totalitarian left, is , save for those of courageous integrity among them, unwilling to consider such heresy.  The environmental left seeks a perfect physical world, which is plainly unobtainable short of the mass suicide, save them, of which many on the left would approve. The history of the last 229 years demonstrates the catastrophic consequences of organized efforts to secure summary perfection  in the economic, social and political spheres. The present reprise of those murderous power grabs by the environmental totalitarians must be recognized as being as one with past and defeated abominations of this ilk.

I often use the term "real America" and when I do I mean this:  America means: the most benevolent great power in the world, the home and the defender of the economic and political system most  productive of human well being both for itself and for myriad others (including subhuman totalitarian states it has defeated in costly wars.) The real America has engaged in painful introspection into its real faults and has adopted sweeping remedial measures, sometimes at the cost of bitter internecine conflict.  To the perfectionist left, which embraces ideals based in the undiscoverable future, American human imperfection condemns our country to "deserved" punishment, extirpation and replacement with that for which the left has no evidence but which it dreams attainable - the unindictably just society.  The real America, the very real majority, defies this historically discredited and incalculably destructive view. And for we who believe in the, on balance,  justice of America, the path to deliverance from the still very present leftist curse is to overwhelm the radical horde and deliver them to the laughable margins of our culture where they originated and where they belong.

A very good way to advance that cause now(2018) is to support what Dr. Nicholas Waddy of SUNY Alfred argues for, eloquently, sensibly and urgently in his latest post on his blog Waddyisright.com.  He calls for the appointment of a special counsel to investigate Democrat party collusion with Russia in the 2016 election in order to counter the Dems' vicious effort to impeach our President . Check it out; he makes a very important point -  we must take the field and confront those who would destroy us and our courageous leader.  Jack
