Western Thinking
Western culture produced western thinking. When I say west, I mean the United States. Europe long ago abandoned much of the foundation that undergirds our western culture and the United States is being pushed over that same cliff.
Western movies and television shows expressed best what our culture was about. There were good guys (white hats) and bad guys (black hats). There was a right and a wrong. Gary North, an American historian spelled it out and I paraphrase, “it was cowardice vs. honor, the defense of private property, law enforcement, and the moral limits of vengeance. It was the combination of individualistic yet bourgeois-supportive”.
Our culture is supported by these four pillars mentioned. Westerns gave kids examples they needed to understand what’s morally sound. It was well known that some things ain’t right. If the majority of men are cowards, if private property is not defended by law, if law enforcement becomes corrupt, and if there are no limits on personal vengeance, then we risk losing our western culture. Liberty will be lost.
The sixties changed everything. A young president was assassinated, the war in Vietnam, the music and sexual revolution, and a new “great government-dependant society was born. We now sit at the door of a new culture iteration. We’ve had socialism light for years thanks to FDR and LBJ. Our children have been instructed in government-run schools which teach them that America is an evil country because it gives people freedom. Freedom to think, say, believe anything they want. They are believers in idiotic ideas dreamed up by damaged minds, ideas that promise the moon with no way to get there.
I see the hatred expressed for anything from the past and I fear a fight may be coming. Hatred leads to violence. Don’t think the hatemongers aren’t above a bloody revolution. They say they won’t take no for an answer. I think they mean it. They have no option but violence. The members of the Democrat/leftist/LBGTQABC/Muslim hate crowd are young and of huge numbers. I’m hoping there are just enough of us who remember the creed of our culture; this ain’t right. I’ve had enough of what ain’t right. I’m hoping the majority of us aren’t cowards.
