Interesting screen name, savagesusie, for someone so obviously highly civilized as yourself.
Your understanding of Western Civilization and what made it great is absolutely right on.
Of course, the marxists don’t just love marxism, they hate Western Civilization, with an absolute religious zeal. It’s why they love the muzzies so much. The muzzies hate Western Civilization just as much. Muzzies and marxists aren’t really all that far apart. Burn a few thousand gays, enslave a half-billion women... the marxists can handle that. As long as you completely destroy Western Civilization.
Ha. Only have the word “Savage” because of Michael Savage. His radio program woke me up from my Democrat Zombie stupor —of believing the MSM and believing “Good is Evil” and “Evil is Good”. I was pro-choice and I thought—a pretty good Catholic (in the Kennedy sense). SO—since I have climbed out of Plato’s cave-—and seen the Light—it is amazing the amount of Knowledge that is out there-—from even THOUSANDS of years ago.
(I did have a Catholic education—with Latin and the Classics. I just never really absorbed the deeper meaning of it until after Savage. I couldn’t connect all the dots until I studied Cicero and Aristotle’s Ethics).
Since then, I have read and studied the Ancient Greeks, Cicero, The Founders—reading tons of biographies—and Witness by Whittaker Chambers, etc. etc. The real eye opener was “The Closing of the American Mind” by Bloom. William F. Buckley, Jr. enlightened me, also, as did Solzhenitsyn.
Even Machiavelli stated that Virtue was necessary in the military if one is to retain power-—of course, we see why Sodomy is now promoted and celebrated in our Military-—as if Vice can be promoted in a government of Rule of Law-—which has to promote Justice (Virtue).
