“Words from the Several States” The Movement, part 11C
“Manufactured reality, that will not work”
Verses
“Simple reality, that one must accept it's function”
Pretty deep sub-title, huh? Lets see if my quill is now equal of such a tease.
I've now spent two movement writings, defining the two major political philosophies of the human condition, and how both have been sanitized by America's two dominant political parties.
Lets take it all the way now, by comparing the manufactured reality offered by modern liberalism, and the simple organic truth of Conservatism as a function of the human spirit and “sweat from thy brow.”
Section 01: Government as “provider”
Modern Liberalism subscribes to the notion that America needs to be something different and better than what it is. Only classical and older governments , such as the ones found in Europe, can truly offer Americans the society Liberals want for us.
That it is “okay” to have 9.5% unemployment, as long as the government is providing “nanny-state” services to over half the population. Surely we must surrender a sizable portion of freedom, according to Liberals, to embrace the un-remarkable socialist bread basket, that will always be more than half empty.
Liberals find this appealing, seductive and worthy of your sacrificed freedom.
Recently a new friend mentioned to me, that one of her son's friends didn't see how the Constitution still applies, since it was written so long ago.
This alone, I would call a crucible within our education system. That somehow a “protective document” of individual liberties is now out-dated.
I think Liberals overall, get annoyed by the Constitution for many reasons. It doesn't allow the Liberal mindset to engineer society to the European “Utopian” model and it doesn't allow for group rights.
Darn tootin it does not, and thank almighty God for that.
Classic Conservatism is what allowed the Constitution to be written. I also know that a lot of Liberals are just upset that the Constitution was written by white men, who were the revolutionaries of the day.
Well, that history, so get over it. Tough noodles, ya know? If it were written by Indians, someone else would've been made about that. You can't win for losing on this issue.
All you Liberals out there who hate America so much, for being so free, listen to me good. Does it really matter who wrote and amended the Constitution, or does it simply matter that it was written when it was, and has protected our God-given rights, the way it has?
Sorry folks, that last rant was directed towards the main-stream mush media, which is Liberal/socialist and hates America for being free. Ask them, they will tell you.
Back to the function of classic conservatism.
Conservatism is more work than Liberalism. Conservatism demands we all be really big boys and girls and do everything for ourselves, that individuals should be doing. That a Government, federal to be exact. Does only the things granted power to do, under the Constitution and nothing more.
Has the federal department of Education improved America's education system since 1961? No, it has not, in fact our education system, as a whole, is in a steady decline. Most of it due to a changing idea of what society values, but a federal department cannot save the day. It can only take in money, administrate it, waste it, then pass it along to others, who did not earn it. It is a classic example of how Liberal mindset believes you can create an agency and good things will flow and nurture America. Nurture America, so that we all bow down and thank Liberals for making it so.
As a basic function, conservatism says shut down the education department, allow parents and local school boards to keep all that money within their own districts and put corporal punishment back in schools.
The dept. of education is a manufactured reality of what Liberals want people to believe is good for them. Keeping your tax dollars under your own local school board control is a simple conservative function, that is organic and real.
Now a modern Liberal would read that entire section 01 and sat “But Chris, there are people out there who are less fortunate, we must help them.” Then the modern Liberal would go out and create a huge government agency, take even more tax dollars out of the private sector, dump it into the wasteful abyss of government spending, and dish out funding for programs that will not work. Then ask for more money next fiscal year, so the agency can be even a bigger failure.
The average Conservative reads section 01 and simply says “Hey Brother, can I help you? Give me your hand, lets work through your situation and get you back on your feet.”
Section 02: Media spin verses hard news.
The last 15 years has seen an amazing transformation within news delivery and consumption. Today, you can be anywhere in the world, and get news, from a 100,000 sources, simply by pushing buttons on your blackberry or i-phone. The word “amazing”, barely seems to cover it.
Unfortunately, the downward spiral in journalistic temperament, has caused so much news to be “Manufactured propaganda.”
Oh my God Chris! Did you use the word propaganda in relation to the American media?
Yes, i did and i meant it.
What is offered up as new by the main-stream media, is in a word, horrible. Lacking total journalistic integrity and zero level of substance. Main-stream media news broadcasts are manufactured propaganda.
Recent example:
Impassioned angry citizens, unhappy with the proposed socialized health care bill, take to town halls for a redress of grievance, as provided for in the First Amendment.
Main-stream mush media calls the protesters “Mobs” and “will the members of congress be safe” at their respective meetings?
The story no longer is an active citizenry communicating a redress of grievance, it is now completely different, angry mobs out of control, will Congress be safe.
Manufactured news, manufactured news-cycles and I scream out for a little journalistic control.
When I hit the “power” button on my remote and start skimming the networks' news hours, I barely hear the words anymore. Essentially I just take in how a particular anchor is angling a particular story for that news cycle. Subject to tweeking in the next hour, you know?
News-Talk radio, AM radio to be exact, has become in my mind, the only place left, where you can find investigative journalism, lengthy interviews and solid commentary, that does not take away from the content or context of the hard news being presented. TV news has become almost 100% theater and info-tainment.
Section 03: Generational dependency/poverty verses job creation:
So how is that LBJ war on poverty coming? Any winners on the horizon? We've been fighting this war for over 40 years and I think it is high time for someone, anyone, to throw in the towel.
Talk about a series of Liberal-elitist programs that fundamentally changed America, this one wins top prize.
No long phrases, no two pages or another 1500 words. Jobs and consistent job creation, through lower taxes across the board and less regulations. Jobs at every end of the spectrum for people, that is what will eliminate poverty.
Government programs do only one thing, reward people for not working, and take money away from people who are working, to pay for it.
So much of what we fear, hate and despise about society can be fixed by a strong job base. You will never “fix” any of society's woes, by turning over more money to larger governments. It is a flawed premise throughout all of human history.
Liberalism and Socialism have spent nearly 100 years infiltrating and destroying the American experiment, true conservatism is the only way of life, to bring America back. It will takes decades, maybe 40 years. That is reality.
Everything else is just background noise.
If you are reading this, then you are the movement.
