Laws Of Economics

 We have to pay for our economic sins, and that is the grim lesson conveyed to oblivious, unconcerned by Mark Levin in Plunder and Deceit, Pages 18-19, where he lays out his protest to our deficit spending of 27.5 trillion dollars, will eventually destroy our country for us, our children and grandchildren, but no one is doing anything about it, a most selfish and irresponsible approach: "The laws of economics, like the laws of science, are real, unlike the utopian images and empty assurances of expedient and self-aggrandizing politicians and bureaucrats. There is a point of irreversiblity from which no generation and the larger society can recover. Moreover, just as economic and political liberty are intertwined, spreading economic instability leads to political turmoil, and ultimately, societal disorder or collapse. In the interim, as this process unfolds, the dissolution of constitutional republicanism--including representative and consensual governance, dispersed authority among the federal branches and between federal and state governments, and the empowerment of a pervasive federal administrative state incessantly insinuating itself into the lives of the people--becomes regular and routine. The ensuing amalgamation of governmental control, and the escalating police powers discharged to coerce and subjugate the individual through multitudinous rules, regulations, taxes, fines and penalties, confounds and benumbs much of the citizenry. Furthermore, the designed societal transformation and decay of enlightened self-government are portrayed as compassionate, progressive and inevitable."

Note that Mark worries that intertwined economic and political liberty can be lost, replaced by tyranny and socialist poverty, wretchedness and despair. As Leviathan grows, our wealth, freedom and constitutional system is dying. 

These Progressive aims are not progressive and compassionate, but are retrogressive and backed by malice, the desire to deprive citizens of their liberty, their power, their wealth. It is not inevitable if we wake up and fight back, which we likely will not do.

A Virtuous Citizenry

 I am used to reading from conservative thinkers that the Founders had it in mind that the public should be educated at the taxpayer's expense. They had certain assumptions that drove this wise public policy.

1. Humans are born frail, and fallen. For the necessary formation of generation after generation of Americans to be trained and reared up as a virtuous citizenry, they must have been taught the right values by their parents, their schools, their community and their extended families. Their education must teach them civic virtues as well as skills to to be competent citizens of honesty and deep integrity.

2. Only the citizen as an individual can think. On the citizen as a virtuous citizen can exercise the self-control to ensure that he can handle freedom. If he cannot control himself, the state must control him, and that leads to tyranny and the loss of individual rights and liberties, which the state was erected to guarantee and protect, not attack and deprive a subjugated people of. It is the educated, smart, logical, virtuous, patriotic citizen that understands, appreciates and insists that liberty is his lot in life as a citizen and private person. He became virtuous, rational, self-disciplining citizen and adult in order that he would be worthy and ready to take his place as an mature American enjoying his liberty and rights under this constitutional republic. His liberty is about the dearest thing in life for him, and he will resist and even rebel should government turn tyrannical and seek to wrest that liberty from him.

3. The educated, virtuous, rational, patriotic citizen understands and insists that his remain unfettered by the government or the mob from in expressing his personal freedom whilst pursuing life, liberty, property and happiness. His exercise of his personal, unalienable and legal power as a citizen is his share of societal power, not to be denied, infringed upon and centralized under a bloated, federal Leviathan, aiming to grab all power to itself, corrupting it and the entire society, absolutely.

Genesis

 Note that God (Yahweh was and is regarded by his followers as omnipotent.) spend 6 days creating the world. Does this indicate that God the Creator was exhausted after each day's work, and needed to rest and regain his strength before going forth the next day. One could argue that God's so creating could reveal his limited power, strength and endurance--in essence arguing that his taking 6 days to create the world is a manifestation of his not being omnipotent.

That would not be my conclusion, though I think Fate is omnipotent, but not the Father and the Mother, though they are extremely powerful. I would suggest that De spent 6 days creating the world, because oe likes to create beauty and then have a chance and time to savor and enjoy it before dashing off to a replacement undertaking. This is how I would explain that God took a few days to create the world.

I also believe that God was setting a self-conscious example for how humans are to create and work, doing what they can each day, resting that night, coming back and doing some more each consecutive day, while resting on the 7th day. Since moderation is wisdom and love, God is demonstrating from early on by example how humans are to live, operate and proceed.

Genesis 1:3-5

 Light is an important symbol in the creation story. Light is daylight, light is a symbol of hope, holiness and goodness, but white skin versus black skin or brown skin is not suggested here in any way, unless one was KKK or some loony alt-rightist: "Then God said, 'Let there be light,' and there was light. God saw how good the light was. God then separated the light from darkness. God called the light "day" and the darkness he called "night". Thus evening came, and morning followed, the first day." (The New American Bible)

Here again God created cosmos out of chaos, or something out of nothing. Darkness is night time, and it symbolically a symbol of despair, alienation, loneliness or apartness from God and is the epicenter for evil.

God is the uniting agent and humans in the world must partake physically and spiritually more in the realms of light than in the dominion of darkness, but they must inhabit both. Note that God sets up this dualism but the dualism is identifiable and operates within one world, whose creator started it, and is in it, but is not conterminous with it, either as the Mother or the Father.

Let me now quote the same verses from my King James Version: "And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness. And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and morning were the first day."

Estimate Away

 Form your estimates, your opinions about everyone and everything, but most of all, about yourself. If not are not curious, and ponder who and what your are, and show an interest in everything, you are not alert, alive and informed.

So make those snap decisions, make those quickly formed estimates. The more you do this the better you will become at making the right decision, and coming to the right conclusion quickly. Of course, you want to welcome feedback, criticism, advice and suggestions. Always, do your research first to the degree that doing so is practicable.

You cannot think enough or estimate enough. This is how you become smarter, wiser and grow intellectually, You must engage the world, and reality, inner and outer, all the time for your consciousness to become that of an active, participating, very smart maverizer.

Hybridized Americans

 Dennis Prager points out that America is the least racist multi-racial and multi-ethnic country in the world, let alone a country of 320 million people or so. What is systemic racism, and getting worse, is the Left with its poisonous agenda of identity politics. They are always guilty, and threefold in magnitude, of what they accuse conservatives of.

The Progressives divide people into groups of oppressors and the oppressed. Peterson warns us that each citizen is 10 or 20 identity groups in one person as an individual citizen, but being, for example, a white, male, heterosexual Christian, and 16 other group categories, of non-oppressor labels, will not save this male from being targeted by the Marxist dictatorship for his alleged, for oppressor group affiliations.

The racism on the Left is profound. Their hate every person of color because their collectivist solutions destroy the lives, liberties and rights of every minority member. Such institutionalized racism will become more vicious and pronounced, the more totalitarian is their control on America.

Over time, as whites and non-whites interbreed and intermarry, these hybridized children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren will be so ethnically mixed, that racism will be irrelevant for practical reasons, despite ideological arguments to the contrary.

Perhaps by 2080 we can go back to regarding each American as an individual first, regardless of his racial or ethnic makeup.

Happy New Year

 Happy New Year, everyone. I feel very blessed on a personal level, as things are going quite well for us.

I am very unhappy and worried that the Democrats stole the election from Trump. Now, Biden and Harris have their chance to do their Reset, their Green New Deal, come after guns, open the borders, spend us into oblivion, and install they soft tyranny, the first step towards a permanent, one party government, a strong Marxist dictatorship, their much sought-after Ameritopia. Hell on earth is coming with this stupid, crazed, wicked, incompetent ideologues, and they wish all Americans ill, and now have the means to enforce their will and subjugation upon us.
