Comment of the Week: “Surely Happiness Lies in That Direction” — JWM


“We have legions of lefties whose purpose in life is to “CHANGE THE WORLD”.

“For decades, now, children have been taught this from kindergarten to grad school. “The world” means people.

“Human nature cannot be changed, but the children can dream up something to be offended by, and work very hard to pass laws against it. This is religion to much of America, and they are fanatical.

“Look at the result: In our daily life it is impossible not be reminded of the creeping totalitarianism that has taken away so much of our liberty. Pocket knives, cigarettes, grocery bags, self-censoring our speech both in person and on-line. 24/7 lies and disinformation from the media.

“The very serious problem that this creates is personal. If you allow yourself to focus on it you become angry. And the anger is real and poisonous. So you tend to avoid that which sparks the rage, because the rage is misery, and the rage is hell.

“I drive less. I hate walking into a market. The beach has become a disgusting freak show of once-pretty girls who trashed their bodies with tattooing. Radio sucks, and I can’t even think of watching a TV set. Keep dodging the crap, avoiding the reminders.

“I wait for some well meaning sort to suggest that I “get involved” and join the fight against the left.

“Yes, that’s it. I shall become a wholly and totally political creature and devote my time, money, energy, and attention into changing the world back to the way it was, and ought to be.

    “I drive less. I hate walking into a market. The beach has become a disgusting freak show of once-pretty girls who trashed their bodies with tattooing. Radio sucks, and I can’t even think of watching a TV set. Keep dodging the crap, avoiding the reminders.”

    This; plus, the disgusting, aggressive, and rude behavior of people on the road to the market, in the parking lot of the market, and in the market. The screeching and native rancor of those disfigured girls (and boys) (and the parents, who should know better) at the beach. Even the regional classical station is full of leftists politics (why, O why does a classical station need to have a news break?). I pulled the plug on tv probably seven or eight years ago, at least my home isn’t polluted by the filth and degeneracy spewing from it…and that’s just sports.

    Gah!

    “It is said of the race of Gaul, that there be not a man of spine among them, for in wars do they prove duplicitous and cowardly allies and in peace do they duplicitously wage war in secret upon their friends.” – Mother Effingby’s Maledictions

    “Human nature can”t be changed” This is correct in and of itself,but the Holy Spirit comes to God’s elect and changes that “old nature” into a new nature by God’s grace and mercy.
