Friends, tonight I wish to convey my congratulations and good wishes to the people of Chile, a beautiful and prosperous nation, who have voted to move the country firmly to the right, electing as their next president an ally and admirer of our own Donald J. Trump. Some say Chile's lurch to the right means a reinstitution of quasi-fascist, Pinochet-style rule. Well, this ain't 1973, and this time Chile's embrace of "far-right" principles and policies is entirely voluntary, so that's a big difference. In any case, it's heartening to see so many Latin Americans rejecting Marxism and upholding the values of freedom, capitalist competition, national sovereignty, law and order, and the supremacy of family and God over victimology and secular humanism. Let's hope that soon we will be able to add Venezuela to the long list of American states, including our own, which have come to their senses!
Dr. Waddy from Jack: Pinochet was a nasty sort. The intensity of the far left's antipathy to him though was due to his having prevented their darling Allende from making Marxist oppressed serfs of all Chileans. Being historically proven enforcers of the most monstrously murderous doctrine ever , they can hardly claim moral authority for this disingenuous fronting.
ReplyDeleteI didn't realize that South America appears to be headed in a direction which can bring material and political well being to that so often misruled region. And that we could be part of this miracle reflects great credit on us and our present administration. Its a very constructive follow-up to our having responsibly taken control of our border.If the desperate can be relieved of most of their fear and destitution, they would probably be glad to find a good life right at home. It should be remembered that it was the U.S. which defeated totalitarian Cuban and Soviet Marxist expansion in the Americas. When we haven't been betrayed by domestic commies , we've been "the flag that sets you free"for grateful hundreds of millions.
Dr. Waddy from Jack: An article found on RealClearPolitics for 12/17: "The Massacre at Bondi Beach was Inevitable" by Douglas Murray, gave a view which, though concentrated on Australia, suggests a far more extensive problem , one that conservatives regularly encounter in the U.S.
ReplyDeleteMurray describes directly post Oct.7 demonstrations in Sidney in which "gas the Jews " was asserted and also frequently expressed support for "globalizing the' Intifada' " He maintains that no governmental correction was administered to the enthusiastic advocates of such convictions.
He then describes his personal experience: "Though they (Australian officials) granted this British born, American based author the right to speak in Australia, they made it clear that if I said anything, which could cause community tensions (a supremely vague concept), then I would instantly have my visa revoked. " But their reaction to openly demonstrated Jew hatred has been indifferent. If his evaluation of Australian attitudes maybe even beyond those of officialdom is accurate then we may reasonably surmise that such prejudice is reflexive and it confirms a very influential conviction that to believe otherwise is to willfully defy dominant principles.
So much for Australia but I think we have seen similarly automatic bigotry in American culture . When I was a NY state employee in the trackless provinces a visiting state Capitol official enjoined me, with obvious offense, to remove a depiction of Santa Claus from my office. I could have characterized such a petty command ( and dismissive in its own right) as merely mindless. But I concluded it is not.
I think it resulted from an attitude firmly esconsed in so many today in many Western culture, that there are certain recently broached political and social verities which are yet unassailable and that any who doubt them are by definition, incorrect , reprehensible and intolerable. This attitude allows for no doubt and is held to authorize coercion to bring recalcitrants into line. This isn't mindless; it has a kind of reason to it. It has been established in the U.S and much of the West by Marxists seeking to establish their total political control over the countries in which their onerous influence and limitless presumption is tolerated for cherished democratic convictions by public and private institutions which incorporate them.
We conservatives know common sense as the cumulative wisdom of time proven verities. The totalitarian far left seeks to establish it's historically proven corrupt and unworkable Marxist standards as similarly credited thinking and acting and it has enjoyed much success. The recent Australian syndrome, maybe manifesting counterintuitive tolerance for the intolerable , is enabled, I think, by this widespread regrettable degradation of Western culture's humane purpose.
