Random Thoughts:
“Curiouser and curiouser!” Cried Alice (she was so much surprised, that for the moment she quite forgot how to speak good English).” It seems that the GOP has made a number of tactical errors in their planning for this election year. The first being that Hillary would be the Democrat candidate and second that the party would unify (GOP convention theme) behind any candidate because of her negatives. “Oh, dear! What nonsense I’m talking!” More on this in a future post.
I recently wrote in an Editorial for Truth Magazine US, ‘Social Justice Movement Marches on’:
“Liberalism is infesting the culture, and multiculturalism is running rampant. Europe has for all intents and purposes fallen.”
I ran across this little item in the Washington Times ‘Laying Down the Sharia Law’:
The Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams, titular leader of the world's Anglicans, created some controversy last week with a lecture on "Islam in English Law." Many interpreted his remarks as implying that Muslim "sharia" law should be allowed to operate in the U.K. parallel to the secular civil law, but some defenders of Dr. Williams are now saying he was misunderstood. It's true that the lecture also described forms of "accommodation" for religious teachings that we would support under the heading of "conscience protections"--such as allowing Christian adoption agencies to exclude homosexual parents or allowing doctors to refuse to perform abortions. There is a danger of going too far in "accommodating" foreign religions in a nation whose laws are structured on a Christian tradition. In the U.K. this accommodation of Muslims is leading to the redefinition of marriage as illustrated by the revelation that the British government is already providing spousal benefits to multiple wives in polygamous Muslim marriages. While diversity can enrich a society, there are also limits to how much diversity a society can tolerate without fracturing--and any change in the definition of marriage goes well beyond those limits.
The UK is a Christian Nation; they have a National Religion and are probably the closest in the Western world to being a Theocracy. Now, under cover of dark, in the smoke filled rooms of Parliament they have in effect set the stage for a dual legal system and eventually a dual government where your religion determines what law you follow; multiculturalism personified.
The same problems are facing France and a multitude of other European nations where Muslim immigration has gone unchecked. Acceptance and tolerance (of the postmodern type) does not seem to have panned out. Yet we in the United States blindly follow the same path with seemingly no concern for our future.
On a similar note this from The Australian, ‘The Nation Says Sorry’
Thousands gather at Melbourne's Federation Square to watch Prime Minister Kevin Rudd make an apology to indigenous Australians. Rudd offers historic apology
For those of you unfamiliar with Kevin Rudd he is the Liberal Leftist that won the race for Prime Minister over the Conservative incumbent.
Australia has been wrestling with their treatment of the aborigine population much as the US has been having angst over the treatment of Blacks from the days of slavery up to the Civil Rights movement (and to current day for some). So now Australia as a Nation has apologized; so what? It doesn’t and can’t do anything to change the past; it doesn’t do anything to enhance the future, soooo… what was the point? Well I can think of two things a) it made them feel good (a hallmark of Liberalism) and b) a first step toward making the aborigine population even more dependent on Liberal politician thus ‘buying votes’.
Look for both of the above issues to manifest themselves here in the US in the future; sooner rather than later if the Democrats win the Presidency and keep the Congress in November.
