Chicken or the Egg

The end of the Carter Administration and subsequent Reagan administrations were the proving grounds for Pre-Teens and Teen-Agers of my generation.

During this period we saw incredible growth; the seedlings of an economic explosion planted, the decline of the Soviet Empire which catapulted the demise of the Cold War, and with new technology we realized a diaspora of ideas.

Athought the idea of "liberal thought" has devolved into nothing more than vocabularic phylumnization, with the advent of ideas transferring at the speed of light and the infusion of zero-sum theory into every part of society, liberals aren't the only ones guilty of this phenomenon.

This is where I am compelled to leave the juxtapositions behind and postulate that the political polarities, as well as religious ones, have less to do with single-word (or phrase) justifications than is conjectured.

As an example, the 1980's saw a series of one word wonders in the medical and psychology fields. Take for example all of the "-holics" (I guess that sports can become fermented), and then the "children of various -holics". These finally transitioned into "Dysfunctional", which covered every form of human subversion and robbed the Psychological community of any new ideas until the recent attack on Fatherhood. Now Fathers carry the sole blame for their grown sons and daughters inability to blend with society or become a 'significant' part of corporate culture and therefore success. This begs the question, " If I as a father took more of a role with the input my children receive while maturing through public school, the church, media, etc… would I be less to blame?" And another is, "Is the blame actually inherent?"

We as Christians as well as other religions have been using these one-word or one-phrase maxims to raise and be raised as long as I can remember. Forget if the maxim we use is out of context or not, the pastor/ preacher/ teacher/ official said it, this is how it is going to be and don't ask why. "It's just the way it is". (Sort of like insurance is what it does – or more likely gets away with.)

It is not my intent to point specific fingers here. Yet, what I do hope to get across is that we are all advertisers in one form or another. In imbibing the deconstructionist values proffered through advertising, we have all, at one time or another succumbed to using the thoughtless one word pratings in the guise of simplicity.

As a conclusion let me put forth a defense for myself and every other U.S. Constitution minded, freedom fighting American. Anti-Americanism is Racism.

Da Vinci is Dead!

Without a doubt the Da Vinci code by Dan Brown could be construed as in the least sense controversial.  For those that want to go further with that thought, whether they've read the book or not, or just read biased reviews, or even read the debunking and myths involved about the book, could bomblast the whole notion and premise as abject blasphemy… as long as those doing so regard it as fact and not fiction.  (I wonder how those same people felt about "Raiders of the Lost Ark" in the eighties?)  which is what it was intended to be.  ( I view it sort of in the sense that if I don't get all worked up about an issue or proposition in front of my children, then neither will they get worked up over it, and we can have a calm, logical discussion about the differences between fact and fiction.)  There are ideas in the Da Vinci code that could be taken as denying the deity of Jesus Christ, the true and only Son Of God who shed His blood and died by crucifixion, and was raised from the dead by the hand of an Omnipotent and ever loving God and Father, to ascend into the Fathers home for the purpose of being the perfect sacrifice and the salvation of the souls of humanity.  Again, these ideas were written as fiction.  I hold the view that if ideas are dangerous, it is because the body of Christ has relinquished its responsibilities of extending to every human the love that Christ died to show and the faith that His Holy Spirit produces.  What is very wrong about all of this is that the "Body" is all "up in Arms over a Movie or book that was actually well written, ( if read as fiction) but is completely missing the largest conundrum we as Christians face in the present tense.

Thirteen Centuries of religious repression is resurfacing.  We in America sit here with our "Bill" that says we have freedom from religion, which protects us, at least until some supreme court farce 're-interprets' our rights as United States Citizens, and the incipient infusion of Islam becomes acceptable.  But what about the rest of the world that is being slowly undermined by Muslim jihadist values?  They don't have the choice.  If Islam becomes the religion and ideology of a nation, all non-muslims become second rate citizens, with new imposed values such as;

1) the inequality of rights in all domains between Muslims and dhimmis; 

2) the social and economic discrimination of the dhimmis; 

3) the humiliation and vulnerability of the dhimmis.

and ultimately "the lives of the dhimmis and their property being

forfeited.

These are all excellent arguements to continue the "Good Fight".  But what we as Americans are failing to realize while we masticate every word in the Davinci code in an attempt to prove that it ultimately denies the deity of Christ, is that the infusion around us called Islam absolutely denies the deity of Christ.  We have such outrage and passion against fiction in the name of adverse sensitivities, but where is the Outrage, nay the responsibility, to expose and wage spiritual warfare against what is factual, and an imminent threat.  Thirteen centuries of Christians cried "Our God Reigns" in silence and behind closed doors because of Dhimmitude, we as Americans need to wake up to the Spiritual cause at hand.  If for no other reason to wage spiritual war in the Name of Christ for those of the world that can be enslaved.

Second Rate Citizens

Here it is folks.  The next step is to get other muslim countries to conform.  Then anybody who isn't a Muslim will have to pay a special tax and will not be qualified for "Good" jobs.

Muslim Rule

Kowtow

This sounds good to those without ears.  Islam means submission.  This group seems to be kowtowing to that.  Israel is still a stated menace that needs to be wiped off the map and Christians will still be subjected to a dhimi or have their heads lopped off.  Does no one read history anymore.  Or has man evolved to the point where even if he is stating nihilist goals he is inherently good and couldn't possibly do something like that.  We're coming to the point where if it is muslim it is okay… and that is NOT okay.

Council of Religions

PMS

Evidently the idea behind the emerging education construct (Post-Modernist Syndrome) is that of educating children about the concepts and understandings of their place in society.  A society which has at the helm monetarily challenged minority women who are now deemed the only ones capable of allocating resources and determining the directions of nations.

To grasp the concept of post-modernism, one must adhere to the concept of reversing the magnetic poles of the Socio-Politico-cultural world. i.e. our current situation accomodates everything to a white, male, affluent supremacy and is in absolute need of complete deconstructionist rendering. ( I guess it would be like so much waste being scooped off of the top of rendered butter.)  A big kudo for ZSM.  Very shortly leaders of nations will be making the same as the immigrant workers they ignore sifting through their border protections.

IF

Ifhigh taxes, exorbitant prices for necessary consumer products such as energy and insurance are the fault of the President of the United States, then the President of the United States ought to have the privilege and power to do something about it… e.g. nationalize energy and compulsory insurances, set caps on CEO wages and earnings as well as earnings of organization owners, and redistribute the wealth to those doing the work.

Wage Protections?

If THE POTUS is at fault for the corruption that so readily exhibits itself in cosmopolitan business, he should have every right to attempt to rectify corporate greed and capitalist binging.

I hold true to the theory that everything is pure [until corrupted],(http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?book_id=52&chapter=14&version=50&context=chapter ) which as christians gives us the ability to take back those things which have been corrupted…

Which means people can still think and have faith in God for whatever it is that He gives them faith for.

Here’s a little thing I wrote…

If we can neither prove nor disprove God with the faculties of reason, neither should we purport to bind the workings or abilities of His Spirit with Reason.

The book by Tournier ‘Guilt and Grace’ deals with these conundrums quite extensively.
