How Low We Have Fallen

Image result for “The fact, therefore, must be that the individuals, themselves, each, in his own personal and sovereign right, entered into a contract with each other to produce a government: and this is the only mode in which governments have a right to arise, and the only principle on which they have a right to exist.”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Since when have patriots let tyrants control the disposition of our safety? Was it the moment when our nation lost its honor? Apathy always breeds the contempt of the tyrant who uses it to gain control of our Liberty. Our nation will only regain its honor when its people regain their Sacred honor.

Liberty is of God. Those who love God and seek after Him shall know liberty.

Sacred honor is not even on the radar of most folks today. Many were raised without any comprehension of it, to begin with.

And many, many more have had it systematically beaten out of them -- socially, by the PC crowd’s never-ending attacks against everyone with anything less than sparkling praise for their socialismo uber alles worldview; economically, as their means of earning a respectable living have been slowly destroyed by the fascist-globalist steamroller; and politically, as both parties have succumbed to the siren of ubiquitous corporate bribery, and set the interests and concerns of their constituents further and further apart from and below their own.

The disenfranchised white, working class men of America have been driven to their breaking point -- no easy task -- and in their simple view of the world, they seek a solution to these problems in a leader.
But without Sacred Honor, their ability to measure the legitimacy of a leader, or any proposed solution, is compromised from the outset.

And what they fail to apprehend in their compromised state, is that no leader can succeed, where he exercises either greatly more, or greatly less honor, than those he represents . In this way, *EVERY* leader is a reflection of the population from which he comes forward to lead.

Trump is no different -- he will present himself as an ‘outsider’; he will continue to make popular promises; and he will continue to stir up the undercurrents of racial and class conflict from which his campaign draws so much energy. Not becuase any of these things are good or right, but because they are working in his favor… after all, ‘pragmatism’ has ever been the enemy of principle and honor, and ever shall it continue to be so.

And, should he be elected, Trump will do exactly what every fascist does upon obtaining power -- he will reward those who have shown him favor, and those to whom he owes political debts; and he will otherwise ignore the will and needs of the electorate, except where it is to his benefit (directly or otherwise) to serve them -- just as (nearly) every other politician has done for the last 50 years. Because we have lived under fascist rule for at least the past 50 years… and it has been at least that long since our society valued Sacred Honor over personal gains, or popular promises.

WE HAVE BEEN WARNED
