“Live Faithfully, Fight Bravely…”

“Be Faithful, Be Pure…”

“He who serves … [their country] … serves God.”

“[To] my magnificent youngsters! Are there any finer ones in the world? Look at these young men and boys! What material! With them, I can make a new world. This is the heroic stage of youth. Out of it will come the creative man…”

“…youth must be slender and supple, fast as a greyhound, tough as leather, and hard as Krupp steel. He must learn to do without, to endure criticism and injustice, to be reliable, discreet, decent, and loyal.”

What happened to faithfulness, bravery, purity, grace, dependability, responsibility and loyalty? They should certainly be taught, but parents are mistaken if they think the school, typical Sunday school or material synagogue/schule takes this effort. Let me shed some light to the aforementioned quotes by filling in their ellipses.

“Live Faithfully, Fight Bravely, and Die Laughing! We were born to die for Germany!”

“Be Faithful, Be Pure, Be German!”

“He who serves Adolf Hitler, the Führer, serves Germany, and whoever serves Germany, serves God.”

“I begin with the young. We older ones are used up. We are rotten to the marrow. We are cowardly and sentimental. We are bearing the burden of a humiliating past, and have in our blood the dull recollection of serfdom and servility. But my magnificent youngsters! Are there any finer ones in the world? Look at these young men and boys! What material! With them, I can make a new world. This is the heroic stage of youth. Out of it will come the creative man, the man-god.”

“The German youth must be slender and supple, fast as a greyhound, tough as leather, and hard as Krupp steel. He must learn to do without, to endure criticism and injustice, to be reliable, discreet, decent, and loyal.”

Oops! Doesn’t sound so Utopian, anymore, now that we know the source of the statements.

Hitler certainly had a masterful influence over people. He convinced them through his charisma, education, grace, talent and diplomacy to unite and wreak havoc on the world, not excluding attempted genocide. Many politicians looked to him, his influence and his failures as examples of how to control the masses. People were dazzled and blinded by the hateful intent and destructive force this leader was spewing… not least of them were teachers.

So what makes teachers, or anyone for that matter, think they are impervious to the same forces taking power in America and across other world power governments today? All adults from the past three generations have been raised and educated in such a way that it systematically strips our independence and self-sufficiency, making us dependent on the government. Furthermore, it’s been done in a way that, for the most part, we don’t know what we’re missing.

Education – TRUE education – isn’t about reading or writing or arithmetic. Those aren’t goals. Those are tools and we should think of them as such. True education is about exploring, experimenting on our own, making mistakes and learning from them. It’s about acknowledging the individuality of people, respecting them and respectfully disagreeing with eloquence. It’s about mastering graceful behavior on our own bodies as an outward expression that we are elite creatures by creation and can master other things as well. It’s about knowing your ground, debating civilly, and assisting others gallantly. It’s about becoming the best person you can be.

The government thinks the best you can be, in the government’s system’s point of view, is a resource … a tool. If the government needs more waiters and waitresses in the future, guess what kind of education you’re children are going to be given. I heard of an interesting society – another experimental system – that molded the western culture. But this system had real education as its underpinnings. They would drop the names of all civilians in a bowl and have lottery-esque drawings for careers. This was not a lottery of children to determine what career to train them for, as the Soviet Union’s communistic government donned out, but a lottery of adults. It was expected of all adults to be completely capable and self sufficient of any task that if the city needed a new army captain or master chef any adult had already risen to that capability and only needed to exercise it. This was ancient Greece.

Hitler, as much a beast as he was, was right about the power of government managed education. If you send your child to Caeser, Kaiser, or der Führer… don’t be surprised when they come home as Romans, Germans or Nazis. Start by being surprised at what the leaders are saying.

Look through history at all the greatest inventors … even at the wealthiest people today … they either didn’t finish public school or they didn’t go to public school at all. Schooling does not equate to education. It is mostly for government indoctrination. Teachers have been used as pawns and most don’t recognize it. The same could be said for any American (or anyone raised under a Prussian-inspired school system).

What should you do to break away from this indoctrination? Put yourself through the type of elite schooling that our politicians and other powerful world leaders receive:

Hone your skills and learn skills that really matter:

• Educate yourself by reading classic literature, philosophy, poetry.
• Exercise yourself through puzzles.
• Expand what you’ve learned through practicing debate, reason and logic.
• Execute your skills by critical examination of the media (they’re mostly wrong … and on purpose, too) and by listening carefully to what world leaders are saying.
• Know what makes people tick.
  • For those who want to learn, show them the way.
  • For those who don’t want to learn, know how to control/seduce/entice their desires to direct them to do justice and righteousness.
  • You’ll find more people want to learn as the unrest continues.

Prepare for the worst, but work for the best:

• Just like the boy scout motto.
• Prepare your hearts – Master your world view. Get right with God
• Prepare your mind – learn survival skills … at least learn to milk a cow
• Prepare your pantry – store food for yourself and others
• Prepare your arsenal – get ready to hunt for and defend your family
• Prepare your finances – save and invest in hard goods and precious metals

Start now. Time is running out. If you have these skills then you can question the world around you to recognize the signs. The red stallion is ready.

*sigh*

It’s a pretty nasty slap in the face of America overall, and even to Muslims who slobber all over the advertisement because of the recognition it claims to give. Any time commercialism grabs a holiday, no matter what the religion, the occasion becomes bastardized in an onslaught of commercials and advertisements. In this case Muslims are just another flock to fleece. I could only imagine how long it will be before we have an “It’s Eid Al-Adha time, Jareer Brown” or “How the Grinch stole Ramadan” special sponsored by seasonal Hajj flavored Coca~Cola with the slogan “Tastes like you were there!”

As to political correctness, I wish Best Buy kept it “Happy Holidays”. At least that way each person can leave it up to their own imagination what holiday is implied. That’s the way people want it in schools. Let the parents raise the children in the traditional way and make public education stick with the basic “R”s. As it currently stands, children are being indoctrinated about the Quran and Muslim faith while the Bible and Christianity are constantly under attack and there’s very little mention of Torah and Judaism in the schools because that might bring up a dirty Natzi past that, if discussed openly, could embarrass a few German exchange students.

BAH HUMBUG TO IT ALL! (Scrooge is both a hero and anti-hero; commendable for his disdain towards self-indulgent waste while reprehensible for his disregard towards humanity.)

The government should get out of the business of religion, stop promoting it and stop attacking it. The strict morals that coincide with the Muslim, Judaic and Christian faiths are similar enough that consensus could be made without compromise. I doubt any Muslim would argue against the 10 commandments even if they don’t accept them as word from God. Their precepts are reiterated throughout their scripture. If only they could stop executing jihad on every non-Muslim and nay-sayer we would get along muuuuuch better.

Quran’s Message For Muslims Regarding Other Religions:
2:191 And slay them wherever ye find them, and drive them out of the places whence they drove you out, for persecution is worse than slaughter. And fight not with them at the Inviolable Place of Worship until they first attack you there, but if they attack you (there) then slay them. Such is the reward of disbelievers.

2:193 And fight them until persecution is no more, and religion is for Allah.

2:216 Warfare is ordained for you, though it is hateful unto you; but it may happen that ye hate a thing which is good for you, and it may happen that ye love a thing which is bad for you. Allah knoweth, ye know not.

2:244 Fight in the way of Allah, and know that Allah is Hearer, Knower.

5:33 The only reward of those who make war upon Allah and His messenger and strive after corruption in the land will be that they will be killed or crucified, or have their hands and feet on alternate sides cut off, or will be expelled out of the land. Such will be their degradation in the world, and in the Hereafter theirs will be an awful doom.

I was bullied from Kindergarten all the way through High School. The bullying was directed by teachers – not just from other students or peers; Teachers were the main criminals. Who do you turn to when you’re six years old and your teacher is calling you names like “loser” and “a nothing – a nobody – that’s all you are and all you’ll ever be” in front of class. What about when you’re twelve and a teacher holds up a playboy in class, telling the girls that if they don’t look like that they won’t amount to anything in life? Or when you’re thirteen and your coach makes crude remarks about you in front of other boys in the locker room? What about when you’re sixteen and the teachers choose to look the other way while you’re getting the crap beaten out of you in the hall?

School is a crime against humanity. The system wreaks from the inside out. Although I don’t condone what happened at Columbine, those kids had enough. They talked and adults didn’t listen. When nobody listens, you have to make some noise… sadly, their noise was through bullets ending the life of others (both guilty and innocent of bullying). The big noise now is through Facebook announced suicides.

Although suicides are among people of all race, creed and color, the big craze now is in homosexual suicides. I can say from experience that this has been going on for decades and has only started getting recognition. When the other boys don’t know why you’re different, they just start assuming you’re gay and call you names and treat you accordingly. I was never gay, but apparently many guys in my class thought otherwise… or they didn’t know big words like “unique” or “introverted” or “sensitive” or “empathic”.

Last weekend I recounted to my daughter why I delved into the occult when I was twelve. It was to escape the pain… Even the memories are painful. Memories of having my face buried in a toilet full of feces then flushed… of opening up my locker to find it full of used condoms… of having a boy force his groin up to my face in gym class… of being physically bullied so much that I passed out in the school hall… of having someone dump a bottle of skunk essence on my head then being sent out of class because I smelt so bad it was disrupting… and the smaller continuous things like being flicked in the ear each day on the bus… having chewed gum or thumbtacks stuck in my seat… and all the degrading names… the list goes on. I felt like even God couldn’t do anything about it. The fantasy of the occult promised super powers and magic that anyone caught in the fabric between childhood and adulthood while in the midst of despair would reach for. I bit that apple, but it didn’t give me anything more than paranoia to add to the pain and darkness.

I certainly thought of suicide, and so did one of my friends who did eventually go through with it. My parents knew some of what went on and took it to the school council. They balked at my parents. If this were happening today, lawsuits would be involved. Back then, the council members were only embarrassed enough to make arrangements for me to cut gym class, but forced me into special ed because I was different. Had I lived in Colorado Springs back then, I probably would have gone through with suicide because it’s so common here that I would have had the “support” of both bullies and peers to “off” myself. (Sadly, Colorado Springs has the title for the second highest suicide rate in the nation. First billing goes to Las Vegas.)

If you want to do something about it, keep your kids out of school or become hot-damn determined to go to every PTA meet and visit campus weekly. It’s already been proven that kids can learn reading, writing, arithmetic and history through a better environment than what our government provides. Let me add that they can also learn more about life and live a happier one with some dignity intact by keeping them out of school. When my dad confronted the dad of one of the school bullies, merely stating that he needed to have a talk with his child, the parent’s response was a threatening “so what are *you* gonna do about it?”

When morally cheapened parents put their kids in a rotting system that spends every effort being politically correct and conforming children into the same mindset, teachers are robbed of their own human rights, are stripped of authority and anarchy inevitably takes over.

If children choose to go to college, warn them about fraternities and sororities that condone hazing, sexual misconduct and alcohol abuse. These debase human beings to the behavior of animals. There are so many great clubs and organizations that an “all boys” or “all girls” club is purely unnecessary and pointless. Better friends are made elsewhere.

… And when it comes to being bullied, it’s the hope from a good friend who stands up for you that makes living the next day a viable option.

Consider that there are alternatives to school. The most successful people in the world are the drop-outs: Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, Ansel Adams, Julie Andrews, Billie Holiday, Tom Hanks and a list of nearly a thousand others who make the top 1% of the world’s revenue and political influence. School is not for everyone, and it’s apparent that going to school could even hinder your child’s future success. I’m not saying these people weren’t educated – I’m saying public school’s version of “education” isn’t suited for the greatest achievers… In most cases that’s who the bullies pick on – perhaps because that’s who they fear.

I wonder how we would treat George Washington, Patrick Henry, Paul Revere, Samuel Adams and other founding figures under the same situation. After all, they promoted the same types of attack at the Boston Tea Party – and afterwords, the British exercised a stronger government against the colonies. Those directly involved with these violent acts of insurrection were called cowards, traitors, rebels, among other choice words of their time.

You can read the cliff-notes version at the Boston Tea Party Timeline website but long story short, these people who fought and won the liberties and freedoms we enjoy today were nothing short of terrorists and wing-nuts by today’s definition. Most of their battle was through talks and negotiations, but when it came down to a government that didn’t care to listen to the people it was supposed to be protecting, revolutionary war became the final answer.

The main difference between then and now is that the Government in dispute is local where we can walk into a congressman’s office and have some hope of representation. Where I think most grievance lies is in the non-representation that the generations before us allowed. The six pages that made up the Constitution – the framework of our nation – has been usurped by thousands of pages of trite dog-eared laws that benefit certain individuals over the general citizens. There is also a great unrest and clash between cultures within the borders where liberal vs. conservative morals are the issues at heart rather than expansive vs. localized political powers. These differences make it difficult to both justify and to condemn the nature of injustice in the actions of Joe and the government he was at odds with.

Most people who defend Joe explain that Joe Stack isn’t any different from a Colonist in the 18th century who, enraged at the taxation, coercive acts and unjust courts decided that rather than subject himself to another year of anguish would take his meager unsubstantial life and make a smoke signal to others with it.

Most people who condemn Joe have the same western mentality that anyone who deliberately crashes a plane into a building is a nut-case and a coward. I guess they haven’t studied Eastern culture – particularly of Samurais – nor of the mentality of kamikaze pilots in WWII. Maybe they slept through the lecture on Pearl Harbor – who knows. But a single drastic event makes a louder statement, and a spokesman, no matter how depraved before, becomes instantly recognized.

I’m getting very tired of hearing people call him a coward merely on the basis that he committed suicide or that he incidentally killed someone else in the process. His final act of unrest had a motive beyond escapism which leads me to believe he died for something he believed in. It doesn’t matter what your faith is, if you die for something you believe, even if it’s the wrong thing to believe in, it isn’t mere cowardice – it’s something else. Nobody seems to call the nearly 1000 “kool-aid” suicides under the watch of Rev. James Warren Jones acts of cowardice. Of course, that doesn’t make any of it right.

I’ll add, however, that as affective the immediate results were, Joe’s airplane crash into the IRS was neither creative nor productive and his message has gotten lost amongst the thousands of retweets that dismiss his motives entirely (as a coward). He would have served America much better in prison next to Irwin Schiff, in a twist of irony that would have him living off of the same tax dollars he so despised paying.

For what it’s worth, Irwin Schiff is in prison for denying Uncle Sam the satisfaction of taxing him. He’s sentenced to 12.5 years for this federal crime while the average sentence for a repeat child rapist is only 7. This is the type of injustice that drove Joe Stack crazy.

Here’s a quote from Wikipedia:

“Liberalism asserts that a person’s life belongs only to them, and no other person has the right to force their own ideals that life must be lived. Rather, only the individual involved can make such decision, and whatever decision they make should be respected.”

Anyone who promotes pro-choice for abortion, but doesn’t promote pro-choice for suicide is the worst kind of hypocrite since they assert having the judgmental right reserved for God. Really – what’s the difference? In both cases a person is making a choice that will affect the rest of the world based off of what they view is best in a highly emotional situation.

*The Flippant Sarcastic Conclusion*
Liberal citizens of Austin should stop complaining and conservative citizens should find another place to live if that liberal lifestyle and mindset bothers them so much.

*The More Reasonable Conclusion*
Be one sided and not two-faced. If suicide doesn’t make sense, how can abortions? They’re both 99.9% of the time done in acts of anguish, fear of the unknown future that lies ahead, and desire to forgo the responsibility of life that comes packaged with the joy of living it.

“Most men lead lives of quiet desperation and go to the grave with the song still in them.” – Thoreau

The issue had gone beyond just money and had become spiritual to him. I don’t mean spiritual in a religious sense, but that his experience with the government had systematically torn his soul.

“Lack of money is the root of all evil.” – George Bernard Shaw

Some people are saying he should have sold his airplane and house to pay off the IRS. But they seem to miss a few facts in Joe’s story. His continual encounters with the IRS and with bad accountants were life-sapping. Those who call him a hero are likely the same ones who have had bad encounters with the IRS. Those who call him insane are likely people who are filled with anger for other political or social reasons. Most of America, as I see in the posts from various sources, are merely sympathetic. They are sad that this happened, but also disappointed at the situation that drove him to this point.

Those I know, myself included, have no problems with giving money to the government when the money is accounted for and well spent. As my local city council discovered, however, is that when the money isn’t budged and there’s no accountability then people refuse to write a blank check to the same government. I’ve voted for taxes and voted against them. I’m not bipartisan, I’m nonpartisan. And in that mindset, I agree with Joe that it doesn’t matter if you’re Democrat or Republican, the tax code should be simplified and parts of the law, such as those harming small business owners as he mentioned in section “D”, should be tossed out.

In a simpler tax system more money will be passing hands and each time it does so is another opportunity for the government to make money. In other words, I think the government would make more money by simplifying the tax laws and the tax laws would, therefore, also be more fair to all citizens rich and poor alike. However, as the saying goes:

“A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.” – Miguel de Cervantes

Which means that if the government can consolidate all money to a few key businesses then they have a better way to ensure it gets its taxes. But the risk of that, as we’re starting to see, is that the government starts working for the businesses rather than the people.

Protecting big businesses will protect the government’s income, which is likely the root cause of the trillions of dollars of debt we recently accrued. And that leads us back to Joe Stack. He knew what he wanted to do, but the government kept holding him back. He noticed that the government didn’t treat everyone equally and that through the facade there really is a caste system in place. Instead of the government making an example out of him, he apparently turned it around to make an example out of himself and the government.

He didn’t catch his house on fire with his family inside as some people are saying. His wife and daughter drove up to the house after it had already gone up in flames.

Even his attack at the IRS building didn’t appear to be an attempt to take anyone’s life but his own. He didn’t talk about killing anyone in his manifesto. Nor did he talk about bringing anyone down with him as Eric Harris did in the Columbine massacre.

It appears that Joe had felt berated and violated by the government and wanted to make others understand the damage that can happen when a government stops protecting the people it was built to serve. Joe’s letter mixes anger with a type of martyrdom; he would have compared himself to Dr. Alfred Lanning in the movie iRobot where he felt he had to die in a high-profile accident to make the nation wake up in time for the imminent tragedy. He apparently felt there was no other way.

“If one truly has lost hope, one would not be on hand to say so.” – Eric Bentley

In closing, my heart goes out to those injured and even to Joe’s family. There’s more to life than money, but the government has forgotten that money is a spiritual influence. Someone traded his time – his life – to earn that money. He felt his liberties and life were stripped from him and that no one would listen to him anymore. I think that’s the message Joe intended to spread.

Somewhere between junior high and college I was given the strong impression that women don’t like or want sex. Thinking back, this advice seemed to always come from the lips of very liberal women who despised having any man open the door for them. If women don’t like or want sex, why isn’t there a movement of women towards celibacy instead of towards lesbianism? Women have been manipulated into a mass exodus from their natural character into rebellion, mutiny and abomination masked in political “rights” to express a hatred towards God and men. Through women “liberation”, America has mutated from the moral and Christian principality it was founded upon into a dark shroud of blood-lust mafias, infant holocaust, racist eugenics, Godless schools, sexual disease, diminished parental rights and large Orwellian socialist government. This is not an attack against women. It is an affront to the feminist movement.

Votes for prohibition, which brought about our history’s worst criminals and the need for the FBI, was largely in the hands of women. Without the FBI we wouldn’t have had McCarthyism go to the extents that it had. Prohibition is the only constitutional amendment that was repealed through another amendment. No other federal law can claim such anarchy to our society.

In Roe vs. Wade, it was a woman who, having consensual unprotected sex, decided she didn’t want to live with the consequences of her actions (having to care for a baby). With the help of two female attorneys who exploited the 9th Amendment, she made a legendary case that has caused the death of millions of innocent children who have no choice in the matter (“pro-choice”, indeed!).

The woman who founded Planned Parenthood, Margaret Sanger, held a world view stewing with socialism, racism and Nazism so strong that it formed a belief in supportive of eugenics (euthanasia). She originally designed the organization to control the population of lower class and minority citizens – in her own racist words she degraded blacks as being “just a step higher than the chimpanzee” and stated that “the lower down in the scale of human development we go the less sexual control we find.” In other words, the abortions and contraceptives provided by Planned Parenthood were originally intended to reduce the population of those driven by lust and ignorance since it was thought that both lust and ignorance were inherited traits passed down from generation to generation. The black community held quite a few uproars about this woman, and rightfully so. She was calling for a silent self-genocide of their population.

Madalyn Murray O’Hair is singularly given the reputation of stopping prayer in schools. When she filed a case against the school board of Baltimore, the local court judge, J. Gilbert Pendergast, mentioned “It is abundantly clear that the petitioners’ real objective is to drive every concept of religion out of the public school system.”

Katherine McCormick was a devout fan of Margaret Sanger and felt that women – particularly hookers (again, we’re talking about lower-class) – should have control over birth control. This meant taking the condom out of the picture since that was traditionally taken care of by the man. Katherine used the excuse of her husband’s schizophrenia, claiming it was an inheritable disease, to donate a large amount of money to the research that founded the birth control pill. Because of the birth control pill, a large concern of sexual impurity – the responsibility of having a child – was taken out of the picture. Control and power without responsibility always results in abuse and neglect. In this case the abuse is widespread sexual promiscuity and the neglect is the condom. The result is a continual rise in AIDs and other STDs.

In more recent times, Charlene Nguon is an out-of-the-closet lesbian who sued her school because the principle “violated” her privacy by telling her parents she was expelled for inappropriate sexual behavior (fondling another girl on campus). She claims her parent’s didn’t have a right to know and her principle didn’t have a right to tell them. At home she hid her sexual alignment while at school she uninhibitedly expressed it. Although she lost the case, it was a landmark moment that used the government to pit against the parents.

Most states don’t require parental consent for an abortion and those few that still do are close enough to the states that don’t require them that it almost becomes a mute point. Hillary Clinton’s “It Takes A Village” campaign still goes on, though it’s been quite widely rejected. Nobody can take better care of a child than his or her own parent because no other human will love that child more. Do you think the government will love a child as well as the parent? Ask Sally Lieber. Her “never spank a child” campaign and stripped parental rights agenda is leading towards a society of unruly children who grow up to be criminals. The whole “it takes a village” campaign wasn’t about people stepping up to take care of other children who aren’t their own, it was about big government.

I’m not saying that these women acted out alone, nor am I saying that all immorality comes from women. I’m merely pointing out what advances to moral decline the feminist movement has generated during the past 90 years.

Women decided over a century ago to be “equal” to men. It started under the guise of voting rights. It was a large political campaign pushed largely by feminists who would be better called female supremacists since they believed women to be largely more capable than men. Before that time, voting issues were often discussed amongst women and to their husbands. Husbands held the weighty responsibility to make political decisions that would be best for his family. When women gained their voting rights they stripped men of that responsibility and the culture started moving towards an ever more feminist slant.

It wasn’t voting women that ruined American morality or family values. It was the feminist spirit behind it. What many people don’t know about the history of “liberation” and “suffrage” is that its core feminist goal was not the 19th Amendment, and not even equality with men, but superiority and dominance above men. Some of that superiority is realized today. For example, it’s the woman’s legal “choice,” not the man’s, to abort a child. This upsets the authoritative nature that God placed in society – specifically in the family. God intended for men to be the head of the household. The dad and husband is accountable for the family’s well being; even in cases where he doesn’t marry the women he impregnates, the government holds him financially responsible. When men are stripped of that authority, they are also stripped of the means – and more importantly, the motivation or desire – to uphold that responsibility, which creates a society of dead-beat and estranged dads.

A conductor of an orchestra can’t bring forth any music unless everyone in the orchestra agrees to follow the conductor’s
lead. That’s how the very meaning of “orchestration” came about. When a family isn’t orchestrated it becomes chaotic. A chaotic family is not a Godly one. Womankind figuratively yanked the baton from the husband figure when she demanded a right to vote – it wasn’t equality, it was rebellion. That was the first step of the feminist movement.

The next step was mutiny, though it’s difficult to call it “mutiny” since in the end men became lazy and pretty much just handed over their role to women. Men like William Marston didn’t help. He preached a psychology that handing authority over to women demonstrated a higher evolution of society (he lived with two women simultaneously – his wife and his secretary – if you need a moral reference). Men definitely had their hand in the bowl this entire time by promoting, allowing or exploiting the immoral changes to society and the degrading of their own roles. I’m just tired of liberal women arguing with me about how only good has come from “suffrage” and hearing how chauvinistic they think I am. As the Bible commands men to take care of women as the “weaker vessel”, it’s obvious to any man that you don’t carry around a weaker vessel unless there is special value to it – meaning that men should treat women kindly and take care of them like a treasure. Women who wish to be equal with men deserve to be given hardships that were traditionally reserved for men, such as being put on the draft board and stuck fighting a war… such as having to work to provide for a houseful of children; not being able to spend more than a few hours a week with them… such as not being treated with the chivalry or manners due to a lady. That’s what women asked for when they signed up to be seperated from their husbands in that fateful 19th amendment. I think men saw the opportunity to find a political excuse to bow out of this sacrificial role and voted for it out of selfishness or constant nagging from a contemptuous wife!

I’ve been told by very old and scholarly gentleman that this constant sin of women pushing towards individuality away from relationships is the cardinal sin that separates marriages. He specifically pointed a finger at the 19th amendment, stating that it marked the beginning of the destruction. I don’t have anything against women voting, but I do have plenty against feminism and I firmly believe that feminism has continually plotted to destroy families; at its core, feminism considers motherhood as the height of enslavement.

There’s an old Jewish legend that isn’t written in the Torah or the Bible. The legend of Lilith. According to the legend, God made a woman for Adam who was completely separate from him – no rib needed. At first this woman wanted to be completely equal in the marriage on all terms… then she decided she wanted to dominate mankind. In the paradise of Eden there would be no need to have someone provide for you or protect you. The only sign of dominance would then be specific to the act of sex. Lilith demanded to be on top. Adam insisted that it was his role. God was dismayed over the ordeal and banished Lilith to the wilderness where she still lives to this day as a demon who accepts scapegoats (as she considers herself one). God then took one of Adam’s ribs to create the next woman who was then not separate from Adam by every nature. Because she was taken from Adam she looked to Adam for some level of guidance and authority. I won’t go into whether or not this story is valid in this post, but want to point out that this issue is thought to be as old as time itself. If there’s any truth to this story then it marks the first act of sin even before eating the forbidden fruit.

Eve went away from Adam’s and God’s protection and instruction when she wandered off to the forbidden tree. Ever since then, women have had to fight sinful urges to be more like men in physique (such as wearing short hair and masculine clothing), sexual dominance (such as in pornography and in marriage – like Lilith), and authority (as in taking control over the household and gaining dominant roles in politics).

This movement of women becoming like men has degendered society. Men have lost their role as men. As a society led by feminist undertones presses onward by stripping God out of schools, forcing equality (such as the school-lego-socialist-scandal of 2007 (video)) and pushing a “please yourself” mentality, it was only a matter of a generation – the children of the baby boomers, and many baby boomers themselves – before marriages, once thought of as a sanctified covenant, would crumble around us.

Both genders are players in this problem. Women have chosen to be like men – to strip away those aspects that made men distinct. Men have chosen to be passive and take the easier path. In the same way that the many skills which used to be handed down from one generation to the next somehow became lost in the 1970′s, the character of a Man was lost as well.

I believe God placed a natural desire in men to fight the good fight, which includes the right to win the fair maiden. Men want to dominate and become king over their family. Whether they are a harsh tyrant of a ruler or a loving Christ-like figure is a matter of their character and their relationship with God. In a society where this role doesn’t exist as a reality, it leaves men with only fantasy to toy with. I think deep down, every woman can only truthfully admit that she wants to be rescued by a knight in shining armor or saved from the clutches of despair by a handsome prince. These natural desires of man to protect and provide for women, and for women to desire being protected and provided for are stemmed from our spiritual needs. When society plants itself against the very laws of nature it only has allusion to look forward to.

In short, harlequin romance novels and soap operas are to women what pornography and video gaming are to men. They are both symptoms and causes of failing roles in marriages. They build up fanciful and unspoken expectations. Women can’t get the real thing anymore because they killed it, so they put themselves in stories where men value women above all costs and watch soaps wishing to live out certain roles. Men can’t be the real thing anymore because they allowed it to die, so they role play in hours upon hours of video games or watch another beautiful woman submit to him in pictures. This causes men and women to separate spiritually, socially and sexually within their marriages. Eventually, if not addressed, it ends with physical and marital separation as well.

I suggest re-learning our roles as scripture points out. Play out these roles both fancifully and seriously in our marriages. For example, dress up as a couple for a Renaissance festival as a damsel in distress and a valiant knight. Go camping and have the man fish and prepare his catch for the woman to cook. Define “manly” and “womanly” household chores. Have the man pull back the chair at the dinner table and open the door for the woman. Learn chivalry and manners as a history lesson – the reason for some of these customs gives insight to the heart and place of the manly role back in the mid to late 1800′s.

On stage not all parts are equal. In politics not every one plays president. God created tiers of authority and responsibilities to each role. Why have people stripped these natural boundaries from family and marriage? Put them back where they belong.

People have been boiling over the lies in the main stream media for decades, but have remained quiet. So why the sudden change, now? Perhaps it is because people were promised change, foolishly believed it, ignorantly voted for it, and received a series of events that included politicians gleefully raising tax burdens of the common man to pay for the millionaire bailouts instead … and you can’t tell this same public that our highly intelligent president knew nothing about how the money would be spent. Perhaps it’s because, acting like a good American, we do what we’re told day after day to wake up one day realizing we’re a slave to a national debt that had been building up and hidden – swept away – while the media continued to feed out lies about how great the economy was because we were doing what Americans do (whatever that means).

So it turns out that people are waking up and realizing that main stream media is a lap-dog to the feds, a fat-cat to their advertisers and a circus monkey to the government that sits between the two. The real stories are often ignored from the press while a distracting story is burnished and reprinted with the same degree of accuracy, conjecture and falsehood as a high-school crack dealer trying to convince a jury of his innocence. It makes for a great show, but it makes you sick when you step back and realize how much time and money is wasted over the endeavor.

It’s refreshing to see a generation that was called crazy conspiracy theorists finally get proper exposure – baptist preachers being beaten by executive officers for standing up for his constitutional rights, bloggers being imprisoned for videotaping a police state gone wild, celebrities being called crazy and mocked for telling people that their fears from the pharmaceutical megaliths don’t make them crazy despite what the government and main stream media says publicly.

As taught in grade school political science, any institution given all three of the legislative, executive and judicial power becomes a disease to the world. Even the Bible forbade anyone other than God Himself of being all three, though it was often called by the seats that enacted these powers: priest, king and prophet. I mention this because one country after another has turned into this monsterous disease – it’s a political pandemic. The very media that was supposed to expose these problems failed the public and went so far left that any of their “repentant” attitudes in moving to the right are laughible at best and effigy worthy at least (and how many of us haven’t burned a paper at least once in our life – the only type of “book” burning that is not only common but humanitarian).

Rogue online papers, bloggers and videos are means of information, but every road of information quickly becomes saturated with misinformation so that only those who saw the events unfold personally can determine the truth. These people are fervently preaching, tirelessly running, actively working or jaded and drinking.

Excuse me while I look for the nearest bar…

The point being made was that the same act has different connotations depending on the words used to describe it. Saying words like “fling” or “affair” minimizes the mental effect.

I’ve noticed, however, that in the same way euphemisms are being used to practically reduce crime into acts of kindness, cacophemisms are cropping up to make acts of integrity appear as scourge. The media begins its merry mudslinging at the conservative party in such a way as to try to make wholesome words like “abstinence” equate to failure.

While it’s evident the liberal democratic party began campaigning for “change”, there are certain base foundations, like moral conduct, that should remain steadfast and unchanged. By the way they attack the high ideals of righteousness and moral creed their hidden agenda isn’t so hidden anymore.

In both psychological treatment (such as anxiety management) and in commercial psychology (such as making you want to buy a product) a process is used called “systematic desensitization”. This process came about through study of Pavlov’s experiments and everyone is susceptible to its influence, though some more than others.

Note that these are my personal observations and I have no formal psychological training in the matter. But what I see is that people can change. We have a remarkable ability to adapt in ways that can even go as far as changing our very souls. I’ve also noticed that as people age, they become more sure of their world view and become less motivated to change it. Whether this is a stubbornness designed within their world view (“I believe old people can’t change”), a lack of motivation (“Why change?”), difficulty to fight off habitual impulses (“It’s hard to change”) or laziness (“It’s too much work”) depends on the individual.

With the world view being so strongly influenced by our environment, and with the environment changing from one generation to the next, it stands to reason that a set of people from the same generation will share similar world views.

For example, a general world view that I find with elders – specifically those who were raised during the great depression or during World War II – is that they regard certain social laws to be universal, though they may be applied differently across cultures. Respect for elders, adherence to the law and the importance of self-sufficiency appear to be some of these commonalities, and they’re not specific to the American culture. These people went through possibly two world wars, one of the country’s worst economic depressions, shifts in industrialization towards technology and from old-school theology to Pantheism. The common media culture was auditory (radio) rather than visual (TV) so listening skills were more important. Handling risks was a lifestyle requiring a level of self-sufficiency such as maintaining your own garden for the bulk of your family’s food supply.

Though these principles were taught to the next generation, there was a sizable revolt in the political movements that spanned the 1960′s into the 70′s and reached into their private homes. People became pompous and disrespectful to their elder generation, turning to sexual, spiritual and narcotic experimental realms for inspiration and motivation.

Similarly, the elder generation showed a level of disregard for the younger generation, continuing to send them to visionless wars in Korea and Viet Nam. There was no clear understanding to the paranoia that promoted these wars, though it was mostly pitched that democracy and capitalism were at stake. Many of the “Baby Boomers” lost a connection with family values and a large diversity of beliefs followed. The world view for the Baby Boomers switched from a “Father Knows Best” model to an “All In the Family” model. Rather than continuing to view authority as an entity you could turn to for support and advice, it shifted to to a view that authority was callous and careless – even harmful. It seems that during the time people experimented with sources of happiness and fulfillment, psychological advances were made in advertisement and materialism took a stronghold. The “Me” generation was more about gaining “More” than gaining self. Social splits across the generation formed hippies and yuppies and further shaped the two main American political parties. By 1970, television commercials directed at children and during children shows had gotten so out of hand that a children’s advocacy group formed, Action for Children’s Television (ACT) in protest. The FCC eventually agreed to create restrictions after studies were made that proved the harmful effects of commercials.

Generation-X was referred to as the “Lost” generation by a few when I was a child. Mostly because we’re growing up blind to our identity. The type of discipline and stature from the Golden Era was long lost except for its representation in old books. Marketing came into the schools, usually in the form of political interests. We were taught (by teachers who were the same age as our parents) that the world was changing faster than our parents could understand. In the same rebellious air that these people thumbed their noses at authority with when they were twenty, they discredited their own authority. My generation was taught to be skeptical of authority from the generation that was young and groaned under the corruption of Nixon, LBJ and Carter. It even goes further than that. We were taught not to trust anyone and to view others with a certain level of vengeance – a “get him first before he gets you” and a “stick it to the man” attitude. It’s now my generation who are entering political offices; antisocialites my age are running the IRS. There are those who are hopeful and shine far brighter than the rest. They are philanthropists and humanitarians, respectful of others and generous to strangers. I admittedly struggle to get there against my learned behavior. I’ve heard you can never unlearn a behavior, you can only learn another one that overtakes it. So I’ll have what Pavlov is having. Ring the bell and chide me on. If an animal can learn basic behavior, any man (made in the image of God) can do even better.
