As I grow older and as I am exposed to the attitudes of the general public (including my own extended family, even my two older children), the more I despair for the future of Western civilisation.
However, I sincerely pray that I am completely wrong and without good reason to worry! (And on one level I truly am without fear).
But lately what I observe in the many interviews of (mainly but not exclusively young) people on the streets of Australia and after all that has transpired over the past few years in the political realm, after all that has been revealed about the attitudes, worldviews and behaviours of the Labor ruling class, people on the street still (appear to) vote overwhelmingly for Rudd.
I now understand how monsters like Hitler could rise to power on the popular vote.
Are people bereft of reason? What is it that blinds people to reality?
I honestly cannot understand how thinking people can continue to support such a man in the face of almost a continuous abuse of power and devastating failures of policy.
The shallow, superficial 'popularity' of Jerry Springer-like 'celebrity' appears to be all that is necessary for a post-modern politician to succeed.
Is it any wonder that the enemies (and they are legion) of the West merely have to wait until Western civilisation self destructs.
Our 'educated' population has been raised on propaganda, our 'elites' are ideologically determined to destroy this culture in order to replace it with a system that has been proved a failure in multiple applications, our youth believe that the 'pleasures' they enjoy are somehow a 'human right’ and that all these things just exist, they are just 'there', almost like money growing on a tree.
Our 'rulers' think they can legislate morality and that they can change the climate by taxing people into submission...this world has literally gone mad and the madness within the Labor party stoush just witnessed is merely an exposed symptom of that madness. And what about the liberal party? Much talk emerging from that quarter seems to reflect a similar madness (think Turnball & cronies). They also appear to want to give money away to PC minority causes, to tax more and create less ‘free’ opportunity (free that is of government interference).
Unfortunately it appears that the governing classes have lost touch with reality and the reasons behind Western prosperity and that is the real problem with government regardless of who gains power.
We have not arrived at the most advanced of civilisations because of some evolutionary quirk, no; we have arrived at this point because our ancestors started with, and built upon a work ethic and knowledge base that is almost exclusively derived from the Judeo-Christian worldview.
If you believe I am in error, as most who are currently framing policy most obviously do, then look forward to the day when I am going to be proved wrong. Although, as a student of history I am comfortably certain that I could safely bet my house on the assumption that if we continue to undermine the basis for our prosperity and stability, then in the not-too-distant future we are going to experience a return to the dark ages, where roving ‘tribes’ of ‘multicultural barbarians’ will be vying through force of arms for superiority in a (far more) broken society, to see who rules the roost, and it will undoubtedly take another Attila to bring cohesion to the chaos.
Goodbye passive, inner-city, latté sipping, vegan pacifists!
And quite frankly...good riddance.
But once again I hope that I am wrong...for my children’s sake!
In Deuteronomy 28 there appears the following promise:
1 If you fully obey the LORD your God and carefully follow all his commands that I give you today, the LORD your God will set you high above all the nations on earth.
2 All these blessings will come upon you and accompany you if you obey the LORD your God:
And the writer proceeds to articulate many wonderful blessings.
Skip to verse 15 where it is said:
15 However, if you do not obey the LORD your God and do not carefully follow all his commands and decrees I am giving you today, all these curses will come upon you and overtake you:
...including:
28 The LORD will afflict you with madness, blindness and confusion of mind.
29 At midday you will grope about like a blind man in the dark. You will be unsuccessful in everything you do; day after day you will be oppressed and robbed, with no-one to rescue you.
Forgive me for what might appear to be bible thumping...but I suspect that few can argue with the fact that this does sound suspiciously like what is happening right now, right here.
Thank God for Grace and forgiveness and the new testament solution to the "no-one to rescue you" clause!
