Absolute Moral Depravity, and Our New Marxist Nobility

The American Revolution Eliminated Nobility; Marxist Moral Depravity brought it back.

We have spoken of our nation's birth and our government's organization as representing the first classless society in world history.  We wrote about it in the American Founding Priniciples page, the American Constitutional Principles page and elsewhere in this site.  You might say the topic has been hammered.  The Founders and the Framers were inspired to remove and expunge any sense of any noble class, any royalty, or any ruling class of any sort.  Their writings show that they themselves were humbled to their knees by having come up with, designed and agreed to such an organization of government. 

All you have to do is read the documents to see that the writers were indeed inspired.  The documents themselves are inspirational.  The Declaration and the Constitution are, both, among the most uplifting, inspirational and beautiful documents ever produced outside of Holy Scripture.  They are rare and delicate objects of beauty, containing clauses, sentences and paragraphs that linger in the mind much as a truly beautiful image lingers in the eye of the mind.  They are quick to come to memory because they are beautiful, and because the healthy mind detects, at once, that they are true. 

The Founders and the Framers could have done what they were expected to do, and what they had every right to do, which was, to make of themselves a new ruling class.  But they didn't do that.  Many have said that the design of the American government was brilliant; and indeed it was, and is.  But it was also, I believe, inspired by God. 

There are two beautiful principles at play here; one near the beginning of the Declaration, and the other at the beginning of the Constitution.  Both are being systematically destroyed in the minds of the American citizenry by the advance of Marxist ideology, which always advances best under the banner of falsehood and blatant immorality. 

American Equality.  The Declaration begins with a paragraph announcing the breach, and describing the need to form a new nation separate from Britain, recognizing the Laws of Nature and Nature's God.  It talks about the natural separate and equal status of individual nations.  Then, the second paragraph begins

What?  No royal class?  No nobility?  No aristocracy? No elite ruling class at all?  Impossible! 

But it was indeed possible; we (or our predecessors) proved it.  What this new citizen equality meant was, of course, equality before the law.  Equal rights, responsibilities, restrictions, requirements and remedies before the law.  The law stands separate from all men; no man is the law; no man is above the law.  All men are subject to the same law. 

The Declaration recognized man as created, and that he has a Creator.  Just as Scripture tells us that we all - man and woman, freeman and slave, rich and poor - are equal in the eyes of God, so it should be with secular government.  When we put on Christ we leave such distinctions behind.  Similarly, when you come to America, you leave all sense of nobility behind.  We have no ruling class; we will have no rulers.  We are a self-governed people. 

Later, the French Revolution would get this all wrong, and nearly turn it upside down.  The French Revolution was inspired by the Enlightenment, which itself was inspired by the beginnings of the Modernist heresy, and as such it opposed God and His religion as much as it opposed nobility and aristocracy.  The French revolutionary notion of equality involved not so much equality before the law as equality of wealth, station, property and material goods. With that interpretation of equality, the French revolutionary motto of Liberty! Equality! Fraternity! is fatally flawed. 

That kind of equality and liberty are mutually exclusive things; you can gain or increase one only at the expense of the other. Liberty involves human rights, including the ability to improve your condition in life through the right to prosper by the work of your own hands.  Equality of wealth, and property, etc., demands the elimination of all such human rights, save one: the right to be exactly the same as everyone else.  That is very nearly a definition of slavery; it is the exact opposite of liberty.  You may not improve your own condition, for if you do, then you will not be equal. 

The American Founders and the Framers understood the true nature of equality, and of liberty.  We will all stand as equals one day before the judgment seat of God.  Similarly, while America lives, and while American principles of law still apply, we all stand as equals before the judgment seat of our own secular government.  Recognizing the imperfections of man, we still strive to achieve equal justice here in this land.  Even when applied imperfectly, it remains an effort at true justice, which is more than may be said for whatever came before or after. 

The Sovereign Citizenry.  If we have no ruling class, then, all we have left is citizen representation.  We all know that pure Democracy is quite impossible except for the smallest of groups, as might fit around a conference table, and even there, some outside rule of order, such as Robert's Rules Of Order is needed lest the proceedings descend into chaos and anarchy.  We cannot all vote on every single issue at hand.  We cannot even achieve a majority opinion on every issue that ever comes up.  Thus, the design of the American Republic, with its three co-equal branches of government, and its limited and enumerated powers of government, and its restrictions against violating citizen rights.  Our Constitution begins

rather than "We the undersigned" or "We the Constitutional Congress" or "We the government."   That is a vitally important point.  The government serves the citizenry, not the other way round.  First, in accordance with citizen equality spoken of above, the government is the citizenry; they come from no special class.  Second, the government serves at the discretion of the citizenry, and swears an oath to serve the people by protecting the law - which is to say, the Constitution, which stands apart from the government, and protects the citizenry from the government. 

This design of America is truly a beautiful thing. 

It has a weakness: it absolutely requires a highly moral citizenry. It also requires a well educated, thinking citizenry. 

The Founders and the Framers knew this. 

So there we have it; the Achilles's Heel of the American Ideal rests in two things:

1. The Judeo-Christian "Goodness" of the American people.
2. The proper education and edification of the American people.

Destroy America's foundational morality, and you will destroy America.  If you can mal-educate or indoctrinate the people, you can change their notions of right and wrong, and thus, eventually, destroy their foundational morality. 

Marxism's insidious encroachment into American thought.

It is hard for me to find which fell first to the absolute domination of Marxist ideals and ideology, between the Democrat Party and the SLIMC¹ . It was before my time, and I will be 70 this year. I know the Marxist movement gained a lot of ground here in the 1920's and the 1930's; perhaps in that time frame it began to take control in both areas.

The Founders and Framers likely never dreamed that the SLIMC¹ might become an integral part of the Government; the principle of Freedom Of The Press was supposed to make the Press independent of the Government, and a counter-acting force against it, to keep it's power in check. It is now crystal clear to all objective observers that the SLIMC¹ operates as the official Propaganda Wing of the Democrat Party. And, Marxist ideals and ideology began to creep into formal education the minute the un-Constitutional Public School system was born.

So now, today, many Marxist ideals are not rare in American public and private discourse.  Indeed, they are common.  It has happened so gradually that no one has noticed. It is always disguised as something other than what it is.  It frequently involves some form of Social Engineering programs to improve man or to improve living conditions; it is always addressing issues of Fairness, identifying areas of exploitation and groups of disenfranchised people and coming up with political remedies, which are never listed among the enumerated powers of government in the Constitution. 

In a similar way, it frequently involves some natural crisis or potential catastrophe to be guarded against, again with remedies which are not listed among the enumerated Constitutional governmental powers. 

But they get legislated into American laws anyway. What is worse, they invent unneeded and unnecessary gigantic bureaucracies with the Constitutional legislative powers of Congress un-Constitutionally delegated to them, so that unelected bureaucrats may pass regulations with full force of law.  (Von Mises equated practical Communism as practiced behind the Iron Curtain and the Bamboo Curtain, to pure bureaucracy, with the people "administered" by unelected and unaccountable bureaucrats in the employ of the dictator.) 

We are becoming defacto Marxist; Marxism has even made significant inroads into the Republican Party, where there are any number of famous office holders more than willing to "reach across the aisle," negotiate and compromise Americanism with Marxism to make "blended"  un-Constitutional American law. 

But Marxism is absolutely anti-American.  There is no part of Marxism, nothing Marx envisioned, that is anything other than antagonistic to and destructive of the American Declaration of Independence and the American Constitution.  It is not possible to hold to Marxist principles and also the American principles; they are diametrically opposed to each other.

It may also be said, with equal certainty, that Marxist principles are anti-Christian, and ant-Jewish.  Even if you disregard the Commandments referring to man's relationship with God, and consider only those Commandments referring to man's relationship with his fellow man - his morality - you find that Marxism violates them, too. 

As we showed in Refuting Karl Marx, all of Marxism is a fraudulent strategy for assuming political power, based entirely on pure falsehood.  Everything in the Marxist plan is false, and there, right there, we see that at its very core Marxism violates a Commandment of God in bearing false witness against truth.  Every American Marxist who ever swore in an oath of office to protect and defend the American Constitution lied in that oath. 

To be a Marxist is to be a MEJTML¹⁴ , because it is a basic requirement of promoting Marxism to lie. Marxists lie when they recruit Useful Idiots, they lie when they motivate agent provocateurs and they lie when they agitate the population against the existing rules of order. Mastery of the lie is job one for the Marxist.

Marx once summarized all of Marxism into one sentence: "The elimination of private property."  The most famous and most central tenet of Marxism involves Redistribution of Wealth, and the Marxian axiom from each according to his ability, to each according to his need.  It is, of course, a lie.  Marxist regimes have taken private property, sure enough; but they have never redistributed it to the populace.  But, assuming that it was a true intention, and not a lie, it is another violation of God's law. 

Before you may redistribute something, you must first take it away from its proper owner.  That is called stealing; there is a Commandment prohibiting stealing.  It also violates the citizen right to private property, established in Amendment V and Amendment XIV of the Constitution.  Marxist incitement of the populace to class warfare by pointing out the rich as enemies of Marxian "fairness" programs Violates the Commandments of God prohibiting coveting. 

Marxism is, on its face, a mortal sin. 

Every variety of Marxism - whether Fascism, Communism, National Socialism or whatever - promotes the lie of "collective" ownership of property, redistributionism and "fairness."  It is all a ruse.  The real goal is, as it was from the beginning, the assumption of dictatorial power. 

Marxist control of classroom and newsroom has got to be broken, or America is doomed.  It may be too late.  Obvious, blatant, categorical lies are embraced as true by huge portions of the American population.  Educated citizens, in huge numbers, actually believe the proven absolute fraud of anthropomorphic global warming.  They believe all the lies, frauds and hoaxes outlined in the Eco-Nazi Movement page, and they see government as the only possible solution to each of these globally catastrophic crises, none of which actually exist. 

Because of Marxist domination of education and news, we have a President who can boldly lie on topic after topic and be believed.  He tells us we can spend our way to prosperity, and borrow our way out of debt, and he is believed.  Democrat leaders can tell us that we don't have a spending problem, but a failure to pay our debts problem, or, rather than a spending problem, we have a deficit budget problem, and - they get away with it.  No one even calls them on it. 

The people have been and are being purposely dumbed-down.  They are carefully indoctrinated through formal education, and they are constantly propagandized through news reporting. 

Judeo-Christian morality has got to be restored, or America is doomed.  It may be too late.  If we are to be a self-governing people, we must be a moral people.  The more we fall into general immorality, the closer we come to utter barbarity.  History has already proved, over and over again, that utter barbarity is completely acceptable within Marxism.  After all, the ends justify the means. 

We began our moral decline with the advancement of the Secularism movement, which is an effort to religiously cleanse America.  The Secularist agenda has already driven Christianity out of the public square, out of formal education and out of favorable reporting in the news and treatment in entertainment.  Secularism has even established anti-Christian religious expression laws in spite of what the Constitution says about it.  Referring to a sinful activity as being a sin is now restricted or even illegal Hate Speech in many jurisdictions. 

The biggest single movement of Western Culture and American society away from the Judeo-Christian ethos and into blatant immorality involved, of course, the adoption of artificial contraception as a commonplace and perfectly "moral" activity.  Two popes warned where this would lead, and now we see that their words were prophetic.  Since its very first and very limited acceptance in 1930, Contraception has now been officially blessed by all of Protestantism - an absolute reversal - and also by roughly half of American Catholicism, with not a few American Catholic bishops aiding and abetting the advance of the sin.  Embracing artificial contraception has proved to be the single most destructive force in the effective elimination of all Judeo-Christian moral standards.  Go to the link to see how all of Christandom and all of Judaism roundly condemned the practice as an abomination before God right up until 1930.  And here we are. 

I submit that today a majority of public school 12th grade graduates have never read (or properly understood) our Declaration or our Constitution, but they have mastered the use of the condom.  They know all there is to know about safe fornication, protected sodomy and the "naturalness" of homosexuality, but they have been mal-educated about American history and the unique nature of America.  Worse than all of that, all they have been officially taught about Christian religion, if anything, is just plain wrong. 

This indoctrination, propagandizing, mal-education and dumbing-down of the citizenry has been going on and gradually increasing for so many generations now that it is not out of the realm of possibility that a majority of Americans might buy into such absolute nonsense as man-caused global warming, Styrofoam as a pollutant, plastic as a planet-destroyer, oil as a toxic menace, etc., etc., etc.  The Eco-Nazi Movement is going great guns. 

The New Depravity.  What is worse than all of that is that the blatantly immoral industries are the only parts of the economy that are booming.  The multi-billion dollar Masturbation Industry is going strong, and so is the Homo-Nazi Movement, the Femi-Nazi Movement and the Racial-Nazi Movement. 

We have Republican representatives, who pretend and play-act at being conservative, trying to "tone down" opposition to Marxism's planned social engineering programs involving Abortion (under the title of Pro-Choice) and homosexual marriage, while they simultaneously seek ways to politically pander to minority voting blocks such as blacks and/or Hispanics, by either trying to out-bid the Democrats with hand-outs, or finding new ways to "Normalize" the criminal aliens somehow without using the word Amnesty.   These Republicans are actually not smart enough to figure out that they are not ever going to get any of these votes away from the Democrats, no matter what they do.  And that shows that Republicans, too, including a lot of Tea Party Republicans, have been dumbed-down enough to have become useful-idiots, at least partially.  To compromise on these issues is to cooperate with the Democrats in the advancement of depravity. 

And moral depravity will always work to the advantage of the Marxist grand strategy.  Republicans have already compromised our Constitution nearly out of existence. 

The New American Nobility.  This may be the beginning of the heyday of Marxism in America, or it may be Marxism's last hurrah; at the moment, it is hard to see how Americanism might somehow wrest back both Houses of Congress and the White House, and that is the only way that this situation is going to even begin to turn around.  But the point I want to make about the new ascendent Democrat Nobility, or a new Noble Class of rulers for America, is the blatant hypocrisy that brought them to power. 

All of their grand social engineering programs, their exploiting of every visible and invisible faction to alienate groups and promote class warfare, lied and pretended and indoctrinated and propagandized that what they were demonizing was already a "class," and that what they sought was a classless society of equality.  Every possible fault or dividing line was exploited for this purpose.  Races, sexes, sexual orientations, rich, poor, employer, employee, big business, big oil, big banks, big pharmaceuticals, big insurance, big anything; it was all an elaborate shell game. 

There is to be no equality here.  They are establishing themselves as the supreme ruling class that will rule the rest of us.  See the Refuting Marx page; this was the plan from the beginning.  Everything else is sham. 

Even the very best among us cooperate in one way or another in bringing Constitutional America down, without even recognizing our own cooperation for what it is.  Most usually, it is done through the practice of toleration of the other.  We tolerate the company of those we disagree with.  If someone is a sinner, we are called to love the sinner but hate the sin.  However, if someone is an obstinate unrepentant sinner, the public toleration must end, lest we be tainted by it, and lest we promote public scandal, or worse - lest we promote greater acceptance of the sinful behavior. 

I wrote painfully about this sort of thing in the Blessing Abomination page, concerning Glenn Beck, and a cooperation I am sure he is not and was not even aware of.  He likely never even thought about it.  And that just shows how far American moral standards have slipped down the slope over the last century or so; what would once have been unheard of is today a commonplace acceptable thing.  I could have written something similar about Rush Limbaugh, who invited his friend, Elton John, to sing at his wedding. 

But we've got to work with what we've got to work with, recognizing that no man is perfect. I still pray that Glenn Beck may be used by God to crush the depraved, Marxist SLIMC¹ with his new TV network, and that he might provide a path for the citizenry back to Truth through good news reporting, and the birth and growth of a whole new independent news industry.

And I also still pray that Rush Limbaugh may be used by God to inform, reform, and properly re-educate the mal-educated American public through his vast audience and absolutely brilliant conservative American radio dissertations. 

Today is Ash Wednesday, a day of fasting and abstinence, the beginning of a 40 day period of fasting, prayer, repentance and a turning toward God.  Let us strive, in our acts of penance and charity and in our prayers, to apologize for what we have allowed, and to seek His grace, by which we may restore honor to ourselves, our houses and our nation.  That we may once again be worthy heirs of Christ. We can do nothing without Him. 

Close your eyes in prayer, recognize and bow before the One Who Is.
