MLK and other things..

Ah, Martin Luther King day. The day when black liberals will claim that King was as socialist as they are, and would be behind lord Obama's dictates. That King would be a Democrat. I think he'd have strong words for both parties. The day some will use King to claim that racism still prevails in the US un-abated. They'll continue to preach the hate and divisiveness of Wright and Carmichael. After all, racism has become a cottage industry for blacks like Sharpton, Jackson, et al. The destruction of the black family is manifest. Sex without consequences due to easy abortion. Who do you think that would please more? King, or Sanger? Would King have blamed the demise of the black family on race, or on those who've enslaved blacks all over again with welfare, no accountability for anything, and a Palestinian like habit of blaming everyone but themselves for their plight. Would King be surprised at who has profited from the re-enslavement of blacks? All questions that likely won't be addressed by the majority of those who support the re-enslavement.

If you haven't already, read the tale of the swine over at American Thinker. Lefties will likely hate it, or miss the message entirely. Still, I enjoyed it. Just an old story retold. Then, there's this column by Mike Adams, whose writings I've always enjoyed. Here's a piece;

Marxism was once the dominant philosophy in higher education – at least within the social sciences and humanities. But one would be hard pressed to make the case that Marxism remains the dominant philosophy on college campuses today. That title now belongs to postmodernism - although the two philosophies cannot be divorced from one another. Marxism is an economic and political philosophy. Postmodernism is a broader worldview. But postmodernism could not have achieved its rapid ascent without Marxism.

The Marxist emphasis on class struggle has fueled the postmodern assault on objective truth. It has led to the idea that truth is simply a byproduct of power struggles between warring factions. That idea has dangerous moral ramifications.

Postmodernism poses a threat to college students and to the very existence higher learning itself. For many students, postmodern education lights a well-paved path that leads directly to moral relativism. The two are not the same thing. But postmodernism eventually compels moral relativism. If there is no objective truth then moral positions cannot be objectively true. When morals become private or subjective, they tend to be built around personal conduct – simply to accommodate personal conduct. That is why many college students find themselves trapped in a downward moral spiral in the wake of abandoning the idea of objective truth. I am speaking from personal experience as well as years of observation.

Read the entire column. He tells a story that changed his outlook. I know, lefties will say "It can't happen here!" Well, a while back, one might have thought that lefties believed in the entire first Amendment. According to this story, not so much. What was it Solomon said in Ecclesiates 1 9-10NKJ?

"9 That which has been is what will be, That which is done is what will be done, And there is nothing new under the sun.

 10 Is there anything of which it may be said, “See, this is new”? It has already been in ancient times before us."
