US CONGRESSMAN ALLEN WEST ON OBAMA: A THIRD WORLD DICTATOR-LIKE ARROGANCE…….

“This whole talk about shared prosperity–that really gives me the goosebumps because I’m starting to believe that a community organizer is nothing but a low-level socialist agitator.”

The problem is, the forces that West represents are no better, and on many issues, far worse. They sound like they have the answers, but they supported candidates that created the hole, yet we should trust that they want to act for the people?

  Listen pal, the Democrat Party and some Republican RINOS are to blame for the mess, the Tea Party represents the remedy, back to basics US constitutionalism. Both of the just named resist it tooth and nail. The Tea Party is fighting on two fronts, if you don’t get that, you never will.

    I get both of your points. In the West we seem to have major problems with our so called elites. They don’t represent us anymore. You see al these new parties winning big time in Europe. The US has the same problem. I think all of us realize that they are not perfect but we have to work with it.
    
    I myself would rather vote for a new party and knowing that they have flaws instead of voting for the old elite parties knowing that I’m only useful as a citizen before the elections. Because after the elections they just go their own way and do as they please.

    I see it different, and believe that the Tea Party has a side to it that is antithetical to freedom and liberty.
    
    I also think that the problems in American came largely to fore under Republicans, and certainly no less than under Democrats.
    
    Calling me pal the way you did was inappropriate.

      Boo hoo.
      
      You have a very thin skin pal.
      
      Time to step up and take the parry and thrust of open discussion without taking offense over nothing at all.

        Thin skin? All I said was that it was inappropriate. I am not and was not ever crying, and your comment is rather juvenile.

There’s No Common Cultural Legacy For The Alt-Right

Still, is there something to it? Is there a common heritage that will cover El Greco and Hume and Dostoyevsky? Is there one that can include the Jacobites and the Jacobins? There is, but it is not racial, and white supremacists reject it because it rejects them. The unifying heritage of Europe is religious and philosophical. It is Jerusalem and Athens, in one famous formulation. Christian religion and Greek philosophy, filtered through Roman law and culture, are the foundation of European culture. The tensions, agreements, developments and settlements between these have shaped the Western world, and these roots of Western civilization are not congenial to white supremacy.

Christianity is universal in its message and Jewish in its origins. For centuries after its founding, Christianity’s center was the Mediterranean world, including Asia Minor and North Africa. Christianity has never been defined by race, and locally-grown racist heresies are only sustainable among those ignorant of Christianity’s teachings, origins and history.

Greek philosophy is likewise ill-suited to serve as a basis for white identity. It is either too universal (addressing the human condition in general) or too local—none of us live as citizens of an ancient Greek polis. Later philosophical developments in Europe, such as the philosophies of the Enlightenment, likewise tend to be too universal for white supremacists seeking a tribal identity. As for the scientific revolution that developed within Western culture (albeit with much borrowed from outside Europe), math doesn’t care what color someone is.

"More here"

War is being waged against Western culture from within which is in essence a war against Christianity and its moral origins in the Hebrew Bible. By attacking these Biblical foundations in the name of reason and human rights, the culture warriors of secularism are sawing off the branch on which they sit. The only way to defend Western civilisation is to reaffirm and restore its Biblical foundations. My argument is a development of ideas I first explored in my 2012 book The World Turned Upside Down: The Global Battle over God, Truth and Power.

We are living in an era which extols reason, science and human rights. These are said to be essential for progress, a civilised society and the betterment of humanity. Religion is said to be their antithesis, the source instead of superstitious mumbo-jumbo, oppression and backward-thinking.

Some of this hostility is being driven by the perceived threat from Islamic terrorism and the Islamisation of Western culture. However, this animus against religion has far deeper roots and can be traced back to what is considered the birthplace of Western reason, the 18th-century Enlightenment.

Actually, it goes back specifically to the French Enlightenment. In England and Scotland, the Enlightenment developed reason and political liberty within the framework of Biblical belief. In France, by contrast, anti-clericalism morphed into fundamental hostility to Christianity and to religion itself.

“Ecrasez l’infame,” said Voltaire (crush infamy) — the infamy to which he referred being not just the Church but Christianity, which he wanted to replace with the religion of reason, virtue and liberty, “drawn from the bosom of nature”.

Perfecting society

But this Enlightenment did not remove religion so much as pervert it. It took millenarian fantasies, the idea that the perfection of the world was at hand, and it secularised them. Instead of God producing heaven on earth, it would be mankind which would bring that about. Reason would create the perfect society and “progress” was the process by which utopia would be attained.
