Spoiled Rotten
I just finished watching Saving Private Ryan for about the 4th time. If you only count the times I watched the D-Day scenes, probably the 20th time. The sacrifices made during that war saved this country. I think many of those who sacrificed their lives had no idea what they were giving up their lives for. However, they died for the greatest of all causes.
Men went to war because they were drafted by their country. It was their duty. Nobody wants to go to war, except for the exceptional few who know how to find Life’s ultimate playground, but that is a topic for another day. These Men did it because their mothers and brothers and fathers would approve. They only wanted to come home. If killing Germans and Japs was the way home, then so be it.
People today don’t see it the same way. We have become spoiled. We think the U.S. can dominate any war because of our military superiority, and therefore all wars are unnecessary. This is not logical.
Our superior military ability is a direct result of our economic superiority. Our economic superiority is a direct result of our unparalled freedom. The United States is the only country in the history of civilization to so closely approach a pure capitalistic society. It came so close, that despite the fact that it drifts further away each decade, it still reaps its rewards.
We will fade the way of the Romans if we continue to drift. The leftists of this country would love nothing more. The enemies of this country have been denouncing capitalism since they understood that it enhanced human life. We are in the midst of a fight for survival. This is truly a fight for our lives.
This sounds like tin-hat, right-wing, nut-root talk. This is what the mainstream media (aka propaganda) wants you to believe. Just ask yourself what is the true value of life?
If your answer is: universal health care, higher minimum wages, open borders, fair taxes and public schools; congratulations. You are the enemy.
The value of life is life. A human life is an end in and upon itself. It is not a means to an end. Human life is the standard of value. Anything that adds to it is good. Anything that takes away from it is evil. This is a net sum game. If someone steals from someone else, it is at best a push. No value is added to human life. If someone trades with someone else, it benefits both parties. As long as the transaction is voluntary, it increases wealth. Capitalism is good. Socialism is evil. Even the church won’t tell you that.
We fight a war amongst ourselves at least as much as we fight those who want to kill us. I don’t see the difference between a socialist who wants to steal my money and an Islamic Fascist who wants to take my life. They both share the same philosophy. I look forward to when this country has the balls to declare war on both.
