RED ALERT!
THE SKY IS FALLING!!!
It is falling upon our heads!
BY DESIGN!!!
But, it isn’t Sequestration bringing it down upon us.
Alinskyites are causing the SKY to FALL!!! “Fundamentally Transforming America,” by implementing Saul Alinsky’s, “Rules for Revolution” (later disguised as, Rules for Radicals). [10, p.2]
“For Alinsky, politics is a zero sum exercise, because its war. The other actors actually embrace the system, which commits all parties to compromise and to the peaceful resolution of conflicts…. Alinsky radicals have an unwavering end, which is to attack the so-called Haves until they are finally defeated…. to undermine the system that allows them to earn and possess more than others….” [10, pp. 31-32]
They wail, “The Enemy refuses to compromise!” But, they continually dictate the rules, then move the goalposts! True Statists, they accuse Innocents of their own corrupt means. They are like sadistic Lucy in “Peanuts” – always removing the football in front of trusting Charlie Brown’s toe!
THERE IS NO COMPROMISE:
THEY DEMAND SUBMISSION
FROM “THE ENEMY.“
THEIR “ENEMY” IS
US:
ANYONE
WHO DISAGREES
with
THEIR GOALS
and
THE MEANS
to ACHIEVE THEM!
To understand their “unwavering end,…” and why the means must “undermine the system…,” one must first look beyond Alinsky’s implementing rules to see the underpinning political philosophy of all statist political systems. Collectivism is that philosophy.
“Collectivism holds that the individual has no rights, that his life and work belong to the group . . . and that the group may sacrifice him at its own whim to its own interests. The only way to implement a doctrine of that kind is by means of brute force—and statism has always been the political corollary of collectivism.” [24]
What must first be understood is, philosophy as “a particular system of principles for the conduct of life” [25], in some form is necessary to living life in this world. [See below.] The question is, under which form will the Individual Inhabitants of one Nation choose to live?
Philosophy wears many hats. Some hats will not protect you from the rain, others block out all life-giving rain leaving you dry but withering, some give you just enough air and rain to function.
But like Goldilocks’ discovery, there is ONE philosophy that is “JUST RIGHT.”
This is true because there is One God Who created the universe and all that is herein. All of the universe operates within Absolutes that comprise the Laws of God. Those Laws are immutable and eternal. Attempting to live outside them is to live in sin and rebellion. There is a philosophical system that conforms to God’s Laws; no other system is “JUST RIGHT.”
At the far ends of the spectrum of human philosophical systems are absolute tyrannical enslavement and absolute chaotic anarchy. In my Post, “Left, Center, Right?” I describe that spectrum.
Our American Republic is founded upon the philosophical principle:
“…that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.” [Declaration of Independence, Historical Documents Section on this Site.]
Our God-given Liberty is a State-of-Being. It is the Fountainhead from which the philosophical Foundation of Our Republic, Under God, springs. Liberty actively preserves the God-given Rights of the Individual, which demand limitations on the interactions between individuals, protecting each from one another and from a malignant government. By the Rule of Law, not the Rule of Men, to PROTECT the Minority FROM the Majority, and from tyrannical government.
“The smallest minority on earth is the individual. Those who deny individual rights cannot claim to be defenders of minorities.” [27]
Our limited government presupposes a laissez faire capitalistic economic system, and guarantees to All the Freedom to exercise Liberty in living one’s Life and pursuing Happiness – which represents the Right to earn and hold Private Property.
Thus, creating a nation in which each citizen is,
“Free to Choose.”
“The society that puts equality before freedom will end up with neither. The society that puts freedom before equality will end up with a great measure of both.” [26]
II
Philosopher, novelist, Ayn Rand, who died in 1982, became a prominent public figure again with America’s awakening to the despotic actions of the Obama Administration and the Democrat-controlled United States Congress in the first half of the Administration’s first four-year reign. At rallies across the country her photo was prominently displayed above the crowd. It is not surprising that in the face of bald-faced tyranny, Americans would embrace the basic tenets of her philosophy and the political/economic system it presents.
Ahh… How I pray my Fellow-Americans will awaken to God’s Call to Repent and turn back to Him! We must acknowledge that He is our only True Refuge and Help.
Because of Miss Rand’s enduring, and revitalized influence and its undeniable potential to effect resistance, at least temporarily, to the “Fundamental Transformation of America” by Collectivist/Progressives in process Today, I will spend a little time on who she was and what she taught.
Although she was an atheist and her stand against God stymied her ability to take her ideology beyond certain limitations, her understanding of Moral Absolutes governing Man’s Liberty and the Freedom to exercise it was profound.
Born in St. Petersburg, Russian Empire, in 1905, she also had a deep knowledge and understanding of the anti-Life and anti-Man basis of statism, learned First-Hand from Lenin’s imposition of communism in Russia. She witnessed and experienced the horrors and injustice of statism’s collectivist philosophical foundation. She may not have correctly attributed it, but she knew the evil Man can commit against Man that springs from the Fountainhead of Collectivism – Man’s Evil Fallen Heart without God.
She lived the horrors of enslavement and near-starvation at the point of a governmental gun, under the pretense of equality of circumstance, for All; imposed regardless of the means used to achieve that imagined end – regardless of the inherent injustice of its imposition. This was her daily life until she was able to escape the RSFSR (Russia of the USSR) in early 1926, and realize her dream of coming to America.
Although Ayn Rand tragically rejected God, and any Jewish teachings of her family, consciously, her foundational ideals exhibited a connection with the moral Truth and Absolutes of The Holy Bible. She obviously learned from the Tanach (known to Christians as The Old Testament) early in life the moral concepts that formed the foundation of her philosophy. (She would have emphatically denied this connection because her mind was closed to it.)
What she did understand extremely well is the truth of Man’s Freedom to exercise Liberty as an Individual: each person living a life of volitional consciousness and the choosing and individual accomplishment that follow, without causing harm to others.
“Every man builds his world in his own image. He has the power to choose, but no power to escape the necessity of choice.” [27]
She tied this concept inextricably to the corollary that such individual choice and achievement would also effect a positive influence upon the world. Wherein lies the truth contradicting the most incorrect understanding of her philosophy; she taught “rational self-interest” which presupposed a positive relationship with the world rather than the negative egotism of narcissism. [Her fatal flaw was her refusal to let God open her heart, mind and soul to “the rest of the story!” Which gave rise to the inevitable immorality that accompanied rejection of God.]
She recognized and embraced the Truth of America’s founding – and was proud to have become an American by her own choosing. She dedicated her life to her work first as a novelist. As a philosopher she answered the call to feed the hunger of those seeking to understand the necessary connections between Individual Liberty, laissez-faire Capitalism (which is not the crony capitalism we have Today), and the multiple branches of philosophy.
Warning America of the true nature of the Collectivist Beast, the Ultimate Individualist and Rational Egoist spent her life trying to save America from the subversion she saw happening – Collectivists waging a Revolution of Ideas in her adopted Nation – Bastion of Liberty to the World! She was a “friendly witness” before the House Un-American Activities Committee investigating MEMBERS of the subversive Communist Party in Hollywood, in 1947. [For an excellent factual analysis of the HUAC investigation, and its aftermath, see the article at: http://www.aynrand.org/site/News2?id=5266;]
These are reasons the groundswell of opposition to Mr. Obama’s Agenda for “Fundamentally Transforming America” brought Ayn Rand’s work to the forefront once again in America.
Sadly, without the critical puzzle pieces found only in The Holy Bible, her “Strike of the Men of the Mind” theme of “Atlas Shrugged,” missed the mark. Minus those critical pieces, it misguided many of her followers – Former Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan is one – and encouraged Real-Life Strikes by many others, rather than giving us the will to fight the Ideological War against the Collectivist Onslaught. She does not seem to have known the axiom: “A battle cannot be won when fought on the Enemy’s terms.” [28]
She seems not to have understood why True Christianity, and The Holy Bible, are the Foundation of the American Republic. She missed the necessity of clothing Individual Liberty and the Freedom to exercise it, within the True Liberty, Salvation, Peace, Life, and Lessons found only in The Holy Bible.
Hence, her message of Objectivism does not fully counter the immoral Fountainhead of Collectivism – Man’s Evil Fallen Heart without God.
Those Libertarians who claim to believe her teachings, but exhibit a poor reflection of it, would do well to learn the reason America is founded upon the Common Law derived from The Ten Commandments of The Holy Bible.
I do not know if the Libertarians of Today still fit the descriptive language Ayn Rand used about them, but, I do know that whenever I hear their ideas in any depth through the years, I recoil from agreeing with them generally. If they are different now, I apologize for my ignorance.
When asked about Libertarians from 1970 – 1981, Rand emphatically denied any meaningful connection between her works and their ideals. Again, if the Libertarian Party ideology has changed, the quotes here and on the Site linked, copyright 1995 – 2013, are from 1970-1981, before Miss Rand’s death, March 6,1982. I hope the Party has changed!
“AR: All kinds of people today call themselves ‘libertarians,’ especially something calling itself the New Right, which consists of hippies who are anarchists instead of leftist collectivists; but anarchists are collectivists. Capitalism is the one system that requires absolute objective law, yet libertarians combine capitalism and anarchism. That’s worse than anything the New Left has proposed. It’s a mockery of philosophy and ideology. They sling slogans and try to ride on two bandwagons. They want to be hippies, but don’t want to preach collectivism because those jobs are already taken. But anarchism is a logical outgrowth of the anti-intellectual side of collectivism. I could deal with a Marxist with a greater chance of reaching some kind of understanding, and with much greater respect. Anarchists are the scum of the intellectual world of the Left, which has given them up. So the Right picks up another leftist discard. That’s the libertarian movement. [FHF 71]” Read more quotes from 1970-1981 on Libertarians here: http://www.aynrand.org/site/PageServer?pagename=ar_libertarianism_qa
“AR: …. Government is an absolute necessity if individual rights are to be protected, because you don’t leave force at the arbitrary whim of other individuals. Libertarian anarchism is pure whim worship, because what they refuse to recognize is the need of objectivity among men—particularly men of different views. And it’s good that people within a nation should have different views, provided we respect each other’s rights.
“No one can guard rights, except a government under objective laws. What if McGovern had his gang of policemen, and Nixon had his, and instead of campaigning they fought in the streets? This has happened throughout history. Rational men are not afraid of government. In a proper society, a rational man doesn’t have to know the government exists, because the laws are clear and he never breaks them. [FHF 72]” Read more quotes from 1970-1981 on Libertarians here: http://www.aynrand.org/site/PageServer?pagename=ar_libertarianism_qa

Ayn Rand gave the Commencement Address to the West Point Military Academy Graduating Class, March 6, 1974. The speech was: “Philosophy, Who Needs It?” The answer to that question was well-reasoned to show:
EVERYONE MUST USE PHILOSOPHY!!!
I “discovered” her works very early in life – about age 13 or 14. The LORD helped me work, in spite of her Siren Call to atheism, to reconcile and understand Christianity and the philosophical Fountainhead of American Liberty, Under God! I sought deeper understanding of the Freedom of Our American Republic. It is now clear:
True Liberty is NOT a God-given Right!
IT IS A
GOD-CREATED STATE-OF-BEING!!!
True Liberty is an Absolute!
As such, Liberty is the Fountainhead of all unalienable God-given Rights. From it spring Dynamic Attributes; most important of these being:
1) Life and ALL it entails,
2) Volitional Consciousness as the act of using the will,
3) Freedom to Choose – to act to succeed or fail,
4) Pursuing the Happiness that accompanies earning and holding Private Property.
These Dynamic Attributes are God-given Rights, either unchained as the Foundation of a Free Nation, Under God:
“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.–That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed.” [Declaration of Independence, see Documents Section.]
Or, shackled and suppressed (at the point of the governmental gun) in the Collectivist Foundation of a Totalitarian State – dedicated to corruption and decay.
“… The only way to implement a doctrine of that kind is by means of brute force—and statism has always been the political corollary of collectivism.” [24]
I DARE CALL IT,
EVIL!!!
III
Liberty is about Individuals, not some imagined collective! What God seeks with Each of us is a real, personal love relationship between the Individual Human Person and Himself, through His Son, our Lord Jesus Christ.
We often hear collectivism’s opponents apologetically say things like,
“It doesn’t work.”
“It has never worked.”
“It will never work.”
Those who admire the goals of collectivism use these words apologetically; some even call themselves “Conservative.” When one laments that collectivism can’t work, he is exposing his agreement with its goals.
I remember a common refrain in the ’60s, “I agree with the goals of communism, but I don’t support its methods.” The goals were WRONG then, and they are wrong NOW!!!
Another refrain was, “I’d rather be Red than Dead!” My Mother and I argued the point with a friend, “I’d rather be Dead than Red!” When faced with our resistance, the friend changed her stand and half-heartedly agreed with us. Now I know that was a typical, deceptive, Collectivist vacillation.
These were ominous signs: America was already on the Path to “Fundamental Transformation” and moving “FORWARD” to Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton and their ilk!
Whether or not it can work is not the problem!!!
THE GOALS ARE THE PROBLEM!!!
For the Record,
COLLECTIVISM WORKS!
IT HAS ALWAYS WORKED!!!
*
Its FOUNTAINHEAD is
MAN’S EVIL FALLEN HEART without God
From whence springs the FOUNDATION:
COLLECTIVISM –
the PHILOSOPHY OF TYRANNY AND ENSLAVEMENT
The INEVITABLE PRODUCT of this PHILOSOPHY
is the TOTALITARIAN STATE!!!
*
From its FOUNTAINHEAD springs
Not:
Life, Freedom and Pursuit of Happiness
But,
The STATIST FOUNDATION:
“From each according to his ability,
to each according to his need.”
Restated:
“Redistribution of property from those who earn it,
to those who will not.”
Or,
“The Collective forces the producer to produce for others at his own expense,
steals his product at the point of a gun;
gives it to those who will not produce:
looters.”
Those who plan to rule intend to shackle the Citizenry with draconian chains, enslaving them at the point of the governmental gun,
with NO opportunity for ESCAPE!!!
“They’re gonna put ya’all back in chains!!!”
Vice President Joe Biden, August 14, 2012, falsely accusing Republicans of the Means used to achieve his Collectivist goal. [See Part 4, for the citation and links.]
Collectivism does work; just witness the multiple totalitarian states in the past 100 years!!!
Established by deceit; they are imposed upon the Citizenry by the point of a gun and perpetuated at the point of a gun, whether literal or governmental.
When the literal gun is used depends upon when the Citizenry realizes it is being shackled. By subterfuge, deception, and outright lies, the perpetrators will forestall that moment to avoid being overwhelmed themselves before their web of control is sufficiently spun. Until the day they are ready…
They attack our Second Amendment to prepare for future stages of the
“Fundamental Transformation of America!!!”
“Alinsky comments: ‘ ‘Power comes out of the barrel of a gun,’ is an absurd rallying cry when the other side has all the guns. Lenin was a pragmatist; when he returned to what was then Petrograd from exile, he said that the Bolsheviks stood for getting power through the ballot but would reconsider after they got the guns.’ 26 [35] In other words, vote for us now, but when we become the government it will be a different story.” [10, p.27] (Emphasis added.)
~
The critical question now is, When will the United States of America reawaken to understand?
The EVIL is IN the PHILOSOPHY!!!
*
Philosophy, Who Needs It?
WE NEED IT:
THE PHILOSOPHY OF GOD’S LIBERTY!!!
III
As you read the many quotes in this Post describing collectivist philosophy it will be clear that it attempts to stand on denial of our Individual Right to Choose to pursue and attain the Life and Happiness we desire, as Free Americans!!!
Under the State’s Iron Fist, collectivism subjugates our Right to accept both consequence and responsibility, to reap the benefits of personal effort, and to learn and grow from our individual choices.
It enslaves all citizens, even the thugs maintaining their rule at the point of the gun, through subversion of the legitimate, limited “police power.”
Collectivism is EVIL by whatever name one calls it! It is WRONG beyond human comprehension! It doesn’t achieve an imagined utopia or heaven on earth;
BECAUSE IT DOES WORK
– EVERY TIME –
BY EFFECTING
THE HELL ON EARTH
INHERENT IN ITS PHILOSOPHICAL FOUNDATION.
Collectivism is the Cesspool of Human Misery! The foundational utopian concept mires Man in corruption and decay! It is NOT the Heaven of God, the Creator of the Universe.
Ayn Rand once wrote about the human spirit as the Fountainhead of Achievement in the world. Well, I firmly believe Human Achievement springs from God’s Creation of Man in His own image, which includes the Absolute: True Liberty.
The Fountainhead of his Achievement is Man’s created wellspring of Dynamic Attributes unique to him amidst the Creation – enabled by Divine Providence. Paramount in this is the truth that “all men are created equal” as INDIVIDUAL ENTITIES, not as mindless cogs in an enslaving, tyrannical, collective “super-organism” with the false claim to “equality of circumstance!”
“Modern collectivists . . . see society as a super-organism,…” [24]
Collectivists use deception and all means of subterfuge to fool the people of a nation, because with honesty that nation would reject them immediately! They would never gain a foothold with the truth of who they are and what they mean to impose upon the nation! To understand Collectivists, one must understand the Fountainhead of their philosophy, which is the Foundation of all that they do.
Its FOUNTAINHEAD:
MAN’S EVIL FALLEN HEART without God
Its FOUNDATION:
COLLECTIVISM
the PHILOSOPHY OF TYRANNY AND ENSLAVEMENT:
“From each according to his ability, to each according to his need.”
The truth behind the utopian promises is:
“The advocates of collectivism are motivated not by a desire for men’s happiness, but by hatred for man . . . hatred of the good for being the good; . . . the focus of that hatred, the target of its passionate fury, is the man of ability.” [24]
IV
Statists are quite adept at delivering impassioned speeches telling the Have-Nots how much they are looking-out for them! The Have-Nots are whatever group is courted at any specific time. The group now being courted in America is the 99%, with the remaining 1% targets for stealing wealth to redistribute. Except, sometimes they say 98% to 2%, depending upon how confident they feel at the time.
The Fiscal Cliff deal flip-flopped the percentages, making 77% Haves and only 23% Have-Nots. They label the groups according to the specific goals of the moment. The Master Manipulators are also able to soothe the “masses” with false assurances convincing them not to worry – they are in the group that will benefit most in the end…
Jealousy, covetousness, and greed –
all natural traits of Fallen Man – are purposely fanned to roaring flames of anger bordering on mob violence to divide Our Nation, Under God!!! Suddenly it isn’t just the 1% who must “pay their fair share” – which has no meaningful quantification – “ALL” would not be enough because the real purpose is to TAKE “ALL” of the substance in the Nation from EVERYONE! *
The 1% is just the starting point of the moment; the percentage targeted grows larger at every opportunity. As working Americans found out on their first 2012 paychecks!
Demands for ever-higher taxes become incessant!!!
Meanwhile, the Collectivist/Progressives work diligently behind-the-scenes to build the structure needed to impose slavery upon all the people when they’re ready. They work their perversion of human endeavors, subverting every aspect of life they can co-opt.
Would you call me paranoid?
Please, look at the exposed collectivist surface of the
Statist ICEBERG of REVOLUTION
RISING from the depths of American Government!!!
This is the Lesson of History –
it’s the same basic Transformational Plan every time,
because,
IT WORKS
V
Just one revealing example
of who the Collectivist/Statists, masquerading as “Progressives,” truly are, is “Eugenics.”
[Collectivist Economist John Maynard Keynes] “…Keynes also served on the board of directors of the British Eugenics Society in 1945, and said eugenics, the ‘perfection of the race’ through selective breeding, was ‘the most important, significant and, I would add, genuine branch of sociology which exists’.” [29]
Keynes died of a heart attack the next year…. Had he lived, what further damage would he have wrought in the Human Race itself, beyond destroying economic systems, having been instrumental in prolonging the Great Depression, and continuing to exert destructive influence on national economies from beyond the grave?
March 14, 2013: Economist Thomas Sowell today on Mark Levin’s Radio Show, discussed the racism and eugenics history of progressivism. [Dr. Sowell is a brilliant free market economist who was a Marxist until he worked one summer for the federal government’s Labor Department in his early ’20s, many years ago. He and Walter E. Williams are both highly regarded Conservative Economists. They are among the many distinguished Black American Conservatives ignored at best, demonized at worst, by Progressives because they do not “drink the Collectivist Kool-Aid.”]
He remarked on Keynes, Woodrow Wilson and others who were openly racist Progressives. He stated that Wilson was the most effective Progressive racist, segregationist, etc. And, that he was quite effective in forcing segregation upon Our Nation in the early 20th Century. Dr. Sowell also said that Progressives have been the leading figures promoting Eugenics. This is integral to their goals to REDUCE and “MODIFY” the Human Population toward perfecting and controlling the Collective!
Progressive Eugenicist Margaret Sanger founded Planned Parenthood. She was also a racist. For an enlightening history of her successful campaign to artificially shape the Nation by preventing procreation by whole classes of Americans through contraception and abortion, see this article: http://www.blackgenocide.org/sanger02.html
There is much more than the following quote in the excellent May 6, 2012, article on Progressives and Eugenics, “George Will, John M. Keynes, and Totalitarian Eugenics:”
“… Jon was born eight months before Roe v. Wade inaugurated this era of the casual destruction of pre-born babies.
“This era has coincided, not just coincidentally, with the full, garish flowering of the baby boomers’ vast sense of entitlement, which encompasses an entitlement to exemption from nature’s mishaps, and to a perfect baby. So today science enables what the ethos ratifies, the choice of killing children with Down syndrome before birth. That is what happens to 90 percent of those whose parents receive a Down syndrome diagnosis throug[h] prenatal testing….” [30]
George Will’s son, Jon, who turned 40 the week the above article was written, has Down syndrome. Will had written an article about Jon on May 2, 2012. It is also excellent. [31]
March 15, 2013, a terrifying report was published in the UK:
“The world’s first genetically modified humans have been created, it was revealed last night.
“The disclosure that 30 healthy babies were born after a series of experiments in the United States provoked another furious debate about ethics….” [32] (Emphasis added.)
Anyone who claims “ethics” allow for genetically modifying humans, has no ethics.
Every informed person who advocates for GENETICALLY MODIFYING Human Babies – which every Human Embryo IS – is a Fellow-Traveller with Collectivists!!!
In GENETICALLY MODIFYING Human Beings, AMERICA is now following in the amoral bootprints of Nazi Germany and Hitler’s pursuit of perfecting the Aryan “Race”.
I truly FEAR for my Nation that this ATROCITY is happening in America!!!
VI
With the HORROR of Eugenics rearing its hideous head, Collectivists deceive the American People with false concerns for their well-being. In a macabre, surreal phantasmic drama, mutilators of the Human Race incite the Citizenry against targeted enemies by demonizing, discrediting, and destroying them. Reports of threats and intimidation ring true when certain brave people speak-out and try to take a stand, only to suddenly backdown and change their tune!
Mr. Obama and other Progressives whip-up America to take from the Haves – the people of ability – to “redistribute to the Have-Nots.” It is frightening just how well it works, with We The American People prepared like well-tilled soil for the deception expertly wielded against us. It works because
America doesn’t know, to them:
IT’S WAR!!!
“When you are in a war – when you think of yourself as in a war – there is no middle ground. Radicals perceive opponents of the causes as enemies on a battlefield, and they set out to destroy them by demonizing and discrediting them. Personally. The politics of personal destruction is an inevitable weapon of choice for radicals….” [10, p. 32]
Mr. Obama and the Progressives have been relentless; repeatedly demonstrating Alinsky’s power tactics rule #13,
“Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.” [33]
They continually escalate Alinsky tactics to implement their wartime strategy ever-more-openly as their hubris grows –
Confident they cannot be stopped!!!
How could WE stop THEM? After all:
“The political philosophy of collectivism is based on a view of man as a congenital incompetent, a helpless, mindless creature who must be fooled and ruled by a special elite with some unspecified claim to superior wisdom and a lust for power.” [24]
With this false foundational view, it isn’t hard to see how Collectivists claim Man is a “social being” in the mode of ants and bees, superior as a whole, collective, societal organism.
“Modern collectivists . . . see society as a super-organism, as some supernatural entity apart from and superior to the sum of its individual members.” [24]
Such a foundation readily supports the expectation by those in-control that each person must be ready – and willing – to sacrifice personal goals, happiness, property,* even life – EVERYTHING – to advance the
“good of the collective super-organism.”
“Collectivism does not preach sacrifice as a temporary means to some desirable end. Sacrifice is its end—sacrifice as a way of life. It is man’s independence, success, prosperity, and happiness that collectivists wish to destroy.*
“Observe the snarling, hysterical hatred with which they greet any suggestion that sacrifice is not necessary, that a non-sacrificial society is possible to men, that it is the only society able to achieve man’s well-being.“ [24]
And, against the tyranny of collectivism, we would do well to heed the warning of one of America’s greatest statesmen, in the first half of the 19th Century:
“It is hardly too strong to say that the Constitution was made to guard the people against the dangers of good intentions. There are men in all ages who mean to govern well, but they mean to govern. They promise to be good masters, but they mean to be masters.” Daniel Webster
Senator Webster charitably consigns goodness to those who would govern. If he read Saul Alinsky’s “Rules” he would have to think twice before using “good” when describing true radicals.
From The Holy Bible:
“A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.” Matthew 7:18-20

Will America heed
the “RED ALERT”
IN-TIME?
Can We STOP
the Sky’s
Fall?
With the Help and Blessing of Almighty God, YES!!!
“…if my people who are called by my name humble themselves, and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land.” 2 Chronicles 7:14
AMERICA, LET US HEED THE ALARM, NOW!!!
“What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?” Romans 8:31
